On Metacritic, the movie has a weighted average score of 30 out of 100 based on 15 critics indicating "generally unfavorable reviews".
Rendy Jones of Rendy Reviews scored the film a 1/5 and stated "Belated, dull, and devoid of any value as a horror movie and lacking connection to the source material, "Slender Man" is six years too late of a release".
Daily Dead writer Heather Wixson scored the film a 3/5 and said that "In terms of creating a creepy and unsettling movie for those who have been enthralled by the Slender Man character over the last few years, White delivers in that department". IGN writer David Griffin gave the film a 6.5/10 and said "If the story behind this chilling internet creation could have matched the quality of those aforementioned strong points, Sony would have a real horror gem on their hands".
