**PG film disguised as a PG-13** I find this film hard to judge for the simple fact that it was supposed to be R-rated and went through massive studio interference. The decision to remove all traces of blood, violence and make every kill off-screen might have been more understandable if it were a PG film. However, the film did spike my interest in Slender Man, and the soundtrack is pretty good. I think a younger audience might find this film more effective.
