Summary
On May 31st, 2014, in the woods outside of Waukesha, Wisconson, two 12-year-old girls stabbed their classmate 19 times. This is the true story of what drove them to do it. Beware the Slenderman examines how an Internet urban myth could take root in impressionable young minds, leading to an unspeakable act. The film interweaves an eerie array of Slenderman-inspired art, games and self-produced video culled from the Internet, along with heart-wrenching access to the two girls' families, courtroom testimony, expert interviews, and interrogation-room footage to cover all sides of this unusal case. Ultimately, Beware the Slenderman reveals how adolescent isolation, mental health, and the nebulous nature of the Internet helped create a dangerous mandate for two young girls, with life-altering consequences for everyone involved.
