The Plot
This plot is based on apparent internet myth. If a person on
a ChatRoulette-style website types the phrase 'I did it for the lulz' three
times, their chat partner will be murdered by a killer called Smiley. A mentally
fragile teen must decide whether she is going insane - or will be the next
victim.
Well I thought this would be great or terrible. Well it is
not great. This film is more like a college horror film but with better technical
filming equipment.
The acting was pretty good in this film. There isn’t any memorable
scenes in this film and not much music involved.
I thought the concept idea and by the looks of the trailer
it would be great. Unfortunately the film did not fulfil the goodness in from
what the trailer looked like.
Although, the second half of the film was a lot better. The best
bit was probably the ending as there are a lot more horror elements involved by
then. The gore in those scenes were pretty great. I just wished it been like
that more throughout.
This isn’t the best horror film ever. It is an OK slasher
film, something I could watch if I was extremely bored and because it isn’t a memorable
film I could probably re watch it even though it isn’t great.
Overall, this was ok slasher film. It’s great in the second
half and the film concept was great idea just wished the actual film was a lot better.
It be great for younger teenager kids who aren’t so critical in films yet or just for a
rainy day. If you find this film really cheap buy it but I wouldn’t recommend
this though.
Rating: 4/10
