HBO documentary about the famous case of the two 12-year-old girls who tried to murder a friend, as a tribute to the character from the Creepypastas in 2009.
On May 31, 2014, in Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA, Anissa Weier and Morgan Geyser lured their friend Payton Leutner into a forest and stabbed her 19 times in an attempt to take over the fictional character Slender Man. Leutner survived and recovered. After six days hospitalized. Weier and Geyser were found not guilty for mental illness, being interned in mental health institutions with sentences of 25 and 40 years, respectively.
The documentary emphasizes the testimonies of the parents of the victimizers, but the most interesting are the images of the interrogations hours after the attack and in them you can see how convinced they were of the existence of the terrifying being and that what they did was something necessary.
The bad thing about the document is that it is from 2016 and it was released in 2017, so there is only the hearing in which a judge decided that they should be tried as adults and not as minors (remember that they were 12 years old at the time of the event ), so there is no trial that sentenced Weier to 25 years (she was paroled on September 21) the ideologue of the fact and Geyser to 40 years, after diagnosing her as schizophrenic, since she was the one who stabbed her friend.
