First of all, I agree that the title is misleading. I'm sure that most people watching this expect to see a documentary about the Slender Man and the mythos behind it. Well sorry guys, it is more than that.
I found this documentary to be absolutely fascinating and disturbing at the same time. Sure it's long winded, but the subject matter about childhood schizophrenia is something we all need to take notice of.
In essence, this documentary is about the shock of mass media given to children at a very susceptible young age. Even one of the mothers said early on, 'I wish I hadn't given her an iPad'.
Maybe the other reviewers here already have their tablets in front of them and are reticent to admit the fact that it has already taken over their own lives.
The internet has grown exponentially out of proportion with creative input, and it is getting hard these days to whittle out what is real and what is fiction. No other generation has had this much information coming at them this fast before they are ready for it.
I think every parent should see this documentary, and then maybe re- evaluate their choices. Don't just throw at tablet at your child as their only means of social growth (I see everyday a lot of lazy parents that use it for a baby sitting tool, because they can't be assed to do it themselves).
But that all said, my partner was diagnosed schizophrenic when she was a child (it's true, it can come from your genetic background, but it's up to the parents to be smart enough to know).
So this is a great case study for people that may have children with the same disposition.
Although one message left me haunted. The children are 'given' an iPad (not just a tablet) in elementary school..
score 7/10
