Grimcutty (2022, dir. John Ross)

A teenager and her brother are stalked by an internet meme made flesh. Straightforward Slenderman-ish digital fears/viral challenge/ASMR jumpscare horror. Doesn’t add much to the subgenre (and the Big Bad looks a bit too like Despicable Me‘s Gru to be properly scary), but competent enough.

Here’s the trailer.

Slender Man (2018, dir. Sylvain White)

Four teenagers invite an urban legend into their lives; disappearances soon begin. Autumnal and muted horror flick based on the meme character. A couple of OK performances and some directorial moments aside, there’s nothing here that hasn’t been done a hundred times before, and often better.
