Slenderman does not kill pointlessly unless it is an adult.

If it is a child he would more likely try to befriend the child without harming anyone.

Make it a psychological horror movie.

Read into the Slender Mythos.

Lots more. Pretty much this.

You can't just make a slenderman movie and use every convention and cliche the typical monster movie has to offer. The mythos has evolved to become a multi-faceted thing, slender is unlike other typical monsters.

It's like the difference between Hellraise I + II era Pinhead v. Michael Myers or Freddy Krueger. Completely different critter, can't be held to the same rules or formulas. And if you try to hold him to the same rules and formulas, well, you get Hellraiser: Deader or Hellworld or Revelations.
