Slenderman Movie

I live close to the area where this happened. There was a lot that national news did not cover. I too really feel for the girl that survived the horric attack in the name of "slender man". She still has nightmares about it. If I were her parents I'm sure they are wondering what kind of sick world they are living in, first her best friends try to kill her in the most brutal way, by some grace of God she survives, only to then have it shoved in their face again by someone making money on the movie. I know slenderman has been around before her but I still find it it distasteful. Just as if it would have been distasteful to have a movie about a plane crashing into a building after right after 9/11.

Wasn't The Matrix2 delayed release after Columbine? Kinda along the same lines, distasteful is a good word for it. It's not fully what people are thinking here that the girl's parents and others blame the Slenderman but rather the the notion of it being retold close in time/close to home.
