But, in order to get a PG-13 rating, this scene (along with many others) was cut by Sony Pictures and thus not featured in the final version of the movie. This can be seen briefly in the first trailer.

In the film's original cut, Tom was supposed to commit suicide by jumping from a rooftop.

However, evidently, Tom is only killed in the original cut and CR's feelings were unreciprocated.

Tom shows many similarities with Carl Ross from Slender: The Arrival, as they both are enigmatic young men who befriend and later fall in love with a main character - only to be driven to the brink of insanity and involuntarily killed by the Slender Man's doings.

The next day, in science class, Tom sits down and strangely glares at Hallie, before turning the other direction, apparently succumbing to the sickness. Hallie insists that he shouldn't but doesn't explain why leaving Tom puzzled. Before leaving, Tom mentions his intent to watch the summoning video. She pushes Tom off before abruptly leaving. While kissing on the couch, Hallie has a vivid hallucination of Tom's face moving in multiple directions at an abnormal speed. That night, Hallie arrives at Tom's home, where the two converse and begin to make out. She hesitantly accepts after briefly seeing the Slender Man watching her through some nearby trees. He first meets Hallie after him and his teammates run into the girls in the school hallway where he first begins to show interest in her.Ī few days later, Tom asks Hallie out on a date. He is Hallie's love interest - who is portrayed by Alex Fitzalan.Īlike Kyle, Tom is a local high school football jock. It tries to pawn itself off as a mish-mash of better horror films (“The Craft,” “The Ring”) which are also dark in nature, but this film is darker and grows darker.Deceased (original cut) Tom is a supporting character in the 2018 film, Slender Man.

Opening up one’s self to demonic presences is never a good idea, and goes against God’s Word.

The overarching theme of summoning something from the other side and bringing it into their lives is highly objectionable. One teen is shown in a sexual position with another student. The teens use very abrasive language-some sexual in nature. It centers around what happens when people invite evil into their lives, and, instead of calling out to the Jesus, they put themselves above God and think that they can solve their own problems-to their own destruction. However, underneath is a ritualistic, unnerving film that may lead a spirituality unarmed people down a dark path. The plot is deceptively simple and leads the audience-masquerading as just another teen horror movie. However, the characters are underdeveloped. This is the introduction to what amounts to a sinister endeavor preying on the naïveté of teenagers dabbling with works of Satan. After doing so, the girls experience a truly dark, demonic and deeply immersive experience, leaving them forever changed. They learn that they must watch a video (similar to “The Ring”), follow simple directions and listen for bells. So, the girls decide that they are going to copy them and summon Slender Man (an unknown demonica> evil being). One overhears that boys in their circle have plans that exclude the girls. This film opens with a group of gal pals-Wren (Joey King), Piper (Annalise Basso), Hallie (Julia Goldani Telles), and Chloe (Jaz Sinclair)-that look strangely similar to cast of “The Craft.” These girls appear bored by conventional wisdom and the world around them.
