In Chloe’s case, when Slender Man attacked her, she went blank and lost her senses. Such a connection results in personality change, mental illness, and dissolution. Wren found a book, Bioelectric Systems and the Paranormal, in the library that suggested that anyone who tries to make contact with supernatural beings develops a symbiotic relationship with them. If one wants to take into account the realistic side of the whole ordeal, then it can be speculated that Allison Riley was a psychotic killer who lured her targets through tales of Slender Man and later killed them brutally. She had been contacting people all over the internet from her username AleeyKat93 and was indeed an agent of Chaos. In the end, when Hallie visited Wren’s room, she found a news article about a psychiatric patient, Allison Riley, who disappeared from the Hinkley Center for Mental Health. For example, when Hallie shared the story with her love interest, Tom, he saw the video out of curiosity and was possessed by the horror. However, in the end, they realized that Slender Man didn’t want their offerings he wanted them to grow fear in people so that this chain would never be broken. Hence, Lizzie contacted Wren, who was in constant touch with AleeyKat93 and believed that sacrificing what people loved would bring Katie back. After Katie’s disappearance, Lizzie was curious about Katie, but Hallie refused to share any details. Later, she tricked Wren into performing the occult rituals again with her friends Hallie and Chloe with the intention of finding Katie.ĭuring the climax sequence, it was revealed that the myth had infected Wren so much that she had brought Hallie’s younger sister Lizzie into this mess too. To begin with, she was the one who posted the video on the forum. If this was the theme of the film, in that case, AleeyKat93 was an antagonist who spread the fears of Slender Man. It infects our minds, fascinates us, and rots our brains in the process. Maybe she ran away from Winsford to start a new life somewhere else, or maybe Slender Man caught her and made her disappear into a realm that is still a mystery around the legend.Ĭredits: Screen Gems/ Mythology Entertainment/ Madhouse EntertainmentĪt the end of the film, the director explains through a dialogue that myths, rumors, and conspiracy theories are like viruses that spread only when we pay heed to them. Until the end of the film, the three failed to find Katie, and she disappeared without a trace. She was sick of her mundane life while living in a sleepy town with an alcoholic father and yearned for an escape. But, it could also be speculated that Katie fabricated the story about the creature to orchestrate her disappearance. In the conversation, Katie revealed that she felt the presence of Slender Man. Katie wanted to know more about the supernatural being and thus sent AleeyKat93 a text. Probably, after Katie saw the video on the forum, she might have contracted AleeyKat93 (who posted the video). Wren found several videos of kids disappearing worldwide, and a chat conversation in which Katie shared messages with a user named AleeyKat93. The girls stole the laptop from Katie’s room and brought it to Chloe’s house to investigate Katie’s disappearance. The film further explores the struggle of three friends, i.e., Hallie Knudsen (named after the creator of Slender Man, i.e., Eric Knudsen), Chloe, and Wren, who try to find Katie at all costs. Hence, she prints flyers and decides to investigate Katie’s room to find out more about the mysterious creature so that she can find her friend. Wren (Joey King) believes that Katie disappeared because they tried to summon the supernatural being. However, that same night, Katie gets a nightmare and disappears the next day during a school field trip to Clifton Cemetery. Out of curiosity, they play the video and follow the occult ritual, but nothing happens. While reading the comments, they spot a user named AleeyKat93 who has posted a video on how to summon a Slender Man. The girls get intrigued and research the entity on the internet until they come across a forum. Katie informs her friends that it is a mythical creature who hunts kids and makes them disappear. On the night of May 29, 2018, four friends meet at Katie Jensen’s house and discuss the boy group that will be summoning Slender Man in Tom’s garage. The screen opens in a fictional town, Winsford, in Massachusetts, following the lives of high school teenagers who are always looking for ways and means to cure their boredom.
