Background Story

Behind our trailer is a deep story line, with the USP of including the mythical beast Slenderman.

The story begins with amateur reporter Greg Donaldson, looking for a story to help him to make it into the big time. Then the story falls at his doorstep, several murders in his home county of Surrey. However there is something different with this case. Some people have likened the killings to those of the mythical Slenderman, a mysterious humanoid who may or may not have mythical powers of some kind. After interviewing some of the victims families, he becomes a suspect to the police due to bad timing and a strange interest in the case. The story climaxes when police try to arrest Greg on suspicion of several of the murders, he escapes and trys to run. After being watched silently by the real killer he thinks he knows who he is, his escape leads into the local woods, after this everyone who entered isn't seen again.
