    It's worth saying that the final moments of Smiley are a grade above the by-the-numbers film that unfolded prior, but it's too little too late.

    By-the-numbers slasher picture Smiley starts by borrowing the key concept of "Candyman," ends with a denouement heavily indebted to "Scream," and stuffs its middle with a dismayingly high quotient of lazy false scares.

    Smiley, is unfortunately less scary than, say, the prospect of your significant other accidentally discovering your search engine history.

  1. Smiley is a great horror movie. The story was great and the ending was very surprising. The acting was good. I recognized a lot of Youtubers in it, which is cool. Smiley is one of the best movies I've seen this year, don't let the critics put you off. Expand
  2. An almost entirely inept attempt at superimposing fear on an image of innocence, security, and friendliness. Aside from a couple performances... completely awful. Expand
  3. Probably the worst movie I've ever seen. There is not on redeeming point in it. Characters are two dimensional and the story itself is like a really bad creepy pasta. Don't waste your money for that garbage and get a burger or something. Expand
