ZoeMovieReviews: Smiley


Smiley

 

This is a 2012 American psychological slasher film directed by Michael Gallagher. It stars three youtubers:  Caitlin Gerard, Shane Dawson and Toby Turner. It also stars:  Liza Weil, Melanie Papalia Keith David and Andrew James Allen.

 

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

I have seen the first one which I thought was brilliant. It is probably best for anyone who’s interested in this film that they should watch Dead Snow (D ød Snø) as well. Although, the first few scenes of the film is that it’s reminding you some of things that happened in the first film. That I liked, as it gave me an idea of what happened from the first film as I only watc...

It is based on the Danish fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen. This is the 28 th Disney classic.   The Plot   A mermaid princess makes a Faustian bargain with a devious sea-witch in order to meet a human prince on land.   I loved this film so much and probably because it is a Disney film.   The animation is this film was really good. The score is very good as well. My favourite song from it was Under The Sea!   The story telling to this film is great! I liked how in some scenes the characters show actual emotion when they are sad or happy. I liked the characters apart from Ursula of course. My favourite character is Sebastian who is the red crab not lobster!   I do have a few favourite scenes from this film. The scenes whe...
