    While Beware the Slenderman isn’t an easy watch--and will undoubtedly inspire anxiety and panic in some viewers, particularly parents--it’s a worthy one that helps make sense of a senseless crime.

    Compelling documentary.... Director Irene Taylor Brodsky utilizes police interrogation footage and interviews with the pair's families to craft not a tale about imaginary monsters, but about the far more terrifying subject of real-life mental-health issues. [27 Jan 2017, p.54]

    The documentary does a good job of filling you in on the Slenderman mythos and how it has spread.
