Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Phillida Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

BA_Harrison A girl tells her hot babysitter about the urban legend of Smiley, a facially disfigured killer who stalks the users of chat sites. Supposedly, if someone types the message 'I did it for the lulz' three times, the person they are talking to gets a visit from Smiley with his big knife. Hot babysitter goes home, logs on, and talks to a guy who repeatedly types the deadly message. Hot babysitter is killed. Cue titles...You might as well turn off at this point, because the rest of the film is utter tripe, a dumb cyber-slasher that makes very little sense, features horrible characters, is chock full of really bad jump scares, and boasts a Scream-style twist ending that beggars belief. Only six years old, and the film's chatroom technology is already incredibly dated. Much of the action involves a creepy tutor teaching a class of philosophy students, which does nothing at all to further the plot, but which does plenty to bore the viewer senseless. We get some pointless interaction with disinterested cops. And there's a sub-plot about protagonist Ashley's fragile mental state, but this only goes to make matters even more confusing than they already are.2/10. Slashers don't get much worse.

Leofwine_draca SMILEY is yet another slasher-cum-horror flick in a world already over-saturated by the genre. Once again it's an interpretation of an urban legend storyline, a la CANDYMAN, except updated to the Internet age. Chatroom users are tasked with typing "I did it for the lulz" into their chat window three times in a row, at which point the horribly disfigured murderer Smiley will appear and knife the person they're talking to to death.It's as dumb as it sounds, and actually worse in places. Although the idea in a nutshell isn't too bad, it's the execution where this fails. There are dumb, unlikeable characters throughout, overage high school kids without an ounce of charisma between them; stupid teen-speak dialogue which appeals to the lowest common denominator every time; plus a couple of supporting roles for tired-looking actors like Keith David (THE THING) and Roger Bart (HOSTEL PART II).As is the norm for such films, the only reason to watch SMILEY is for the kill scenes, and they're pretty shoddily done with low rent gore effects and nothing much in the way of tension. Instead, the director seems intent on throwing as many false scares and pointless dream sequences into his movie as is possible, thus padding out the running time to feature length. Watch for the quadruple twist ending, probably the dumbest I've ever seen.

Alyson Jones I like the story...I like concept...I like proxy....but HOLY CRAP....ASHLEY IS ANMOYING. All she does is shriek....make it stop...she needs to go away. She whines, and shrieks...and then she is smiling and being super happy. Why? She is very inconsistent...Bad acting. Ands she smashes computers too many times for one movie. Why? I can't ask why enough...she used one bullet and the gun didn't work anymore. That's not how guns work...and then she jumped out a window. I'm done. This movie is just...I have no words for this movie. But I have to say, I didn't expect that ending. I will not watch it ever again! EVER!

zacheryf98 First off I have to say, for a group of people with practically no movie making experience at all, this isn't half bad. This is a teen slasher, pop-culture, amateur made movie, it isn't supposed to be the greatest thing ever, it's just supposed to be fun. These guy and girls that made this movie knew going into it that it wasn't going to be a hit, they just wanted to try it out and see what happened... For the actors, producers, and director, this is a HUGE learning experience, now granted, even without experience this movie good have been better in many ways. For a low budget independent film, it's not terrible, they did get it online, on DVD, and on major movie networks on T.V, and that's pretty cool!! So for the jerks in whom are crapping all over this movie with you over critical reviews, calm down and look at the big picture...
