Smiley (2012)

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!

This is an Ultra-Low-Budget Slasher Entry that was made by some Youtube "Personalities" that is a Good Effort and has Enough Underlying Modern Angst about the Internet's Scary Possibilities that makes it "Worthy".Every Era has its Fears Personified in Films. Poverty in the 1930's, Post WWII Anxieties in the 1940's, Atomic Radiation in the 1950's, "The Man" in the 1960's, and so on. So here is one for the New Millennium. After All, the Internet is a Wonderful and Scary Place so it is Ripe for the Would Be Horrors to Manifest itself in the Movies.Who better to give that Fear a Face than these Youtube Yahoos. They Manage to be somewhat Creative but can't Help Themselves when it comes to Clichés like Jump-Scares. They Really seem to be Above that Tired Genre Convention.But the Film does stay away from the Shaky Cam, Mumbling and Gratuitous Nudity that has become SOP in the Modern Age. So Overall this is a Pretty Good Try from some Youngsters. The Acting is Surprisingly Good from Catlin Gerard and Ranging from Acceptable to Verging on Cringe Inducement from the rest of the Non-Pros.

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...

I read a lot of the reviews here before watching it and quite honestly I was just bored so I watched it.This movie isn't nearly as bad as the reviews given on IMDb. I thought it was definitely a lot better than the 1/10 that many of you have given.Seriously if you want to watch a movie that has a few jump moments, then this is for you!I liked the acting, I liked the storyline. It's nothing original no but it was still quite entertaining. I jumped and maybe just maybe I screamed a few times too!I am curious why it got such really bad reviews. The ending was pretty banging lol. Or should I say lulz?The people who gave this such a poor review should keep in mind not every movie can be a huge production with millions of dollars spent to make it. This movie was low budget but it was still worth it. I am glad I watched it and I hope...dare I say it? But I hope there is a sequel! Great job acting and directing. This movie was right up my alley.
