Review of Smiley (2012) by Boy_Number_8 — 09 Mar 2014
This film could have been so much better than its end result.
The opening scene I thought was well done, with jumpy moments, a generally terrifying looking killer and an OK premises in story, but the film goes down hill from there.
It cant decide whether it wants to be a campy slasher film or a smart, thought provoking horror movie so it attempts to do both and unfortunately doesn't succeed. Because of this the jumps soon disappear and we're left with "twists" that are dumb, not needed and end up making zero sense.
I didn't find the acting "that" bad and while i'm a fan of the youtube personality's this film includes, I did think that some could be labeled as over acting.
