65 | Beware the Slenderman

Director/Writer: Irene Taylor Brodsky 

Synopsis:  On May 31, 2014 in the woods of Waukesha, Wisconsin, two 12-yr-old girls, Morgan Geyser & Anissa Weier, stabbed their friend Bella Leutner 19 times & left her to die. Bella managed to crawl to the road & get help; she told her rescuers that ‘her best friend’ was the one who stabbed her. Morgan & Anissa were picked up not long after by police, & it was then they confessed to stabbing Bella in an effort to please Slenderman.
The doc focuses not on the victim & her family, who declined to participate, but on the perpetrators & their families, as well as touching on the origin of Slenderman & the effect of internet culture on today's youth.
