HBO Documentary Films
has unveiled the first poster for Irene Taylor Brodsky's Beware the Slenderman,
a documentary that shines a light on the internet’s mysterious Boogeyman and the
two 12-year-old girls who would kill for him.
Brodsky is an Oscar,
Emmy, and PGA nominated director who won Sundance's Audience Award in 2007 and
the Peabody Award in 2008 for Hear and Now.
BEWARE THE SLENDERMAN
tells the story of the internet’s elusive Boogeyman and two 12-year-old girls
who would kill for him. Morgan Geyser and Anissa Weier lured their best friend
into the woods, stabbed her 19 times, then set out on an odyssey to meet the
tall and faceless man known online as Slenderman. Shot over 18 months with
heartbreaking access to the families of the would-be murderers, the film
plunges deep down the rabbit hole of their crime, a Boogeyman and our society’s
most impressionable consumers of media. The entrance to the internet can quickly
lead us to its dark basement, within just a matter of clicks. How much do we
hold children responsible for what they find there?
