Yeh it's one of those movies where you could be on your phone the entire time and basically get the point.

Based on true background information about a number of drownings found near places where there are smiley faces. This story centers on Jake (Ronen Rubinstein) who is stalked during the entire film. He is off his meds and has issues, so I didn't mind it when PLOT SPOILER they finally get him into the white van we have been seeing the entire film. Jake is boring and so is the film. Guide: F-word. sex. partial nudity.

This movie is not what the marketing shows. It's not a slasher. Having said that, I did enjoy this movie for what it was. Knowing already that it was written by Bret Easton Ellis tells me what I'm in for. It's very atmospheric with A sense of impending dread slowly closing in on the main character. I must admit that this movie is very disjointed. When the final act comes around you will swear you were watching a different movie. For a movie called The Smiley Face Killers, the killers are really only featured in it for the last 20 mins. The ending will leave you with more questions than answers. I recommend if you are into different types of horror other than the constant slasher death type. It's a slow burn 🔥 but the ending was worth it. Plus this movie is SUPER Homo-erotic. A lot of the first couple of acts reminded me of the tone of Nightmare on Elm street 2. There could be a lot to read into between the lines.

I've never written a movie review, this should be a warning, don't waste your time. What I don't understand is how on earth someone could give this movie anything more than a 1??? I get it, the other reviews were written by friends of the cast and the director himself. I can't figure out how he convinced a studio to fund this piece of garbage. You should be ashamed to call this a movie, or even an art form. Were you on drugs when this was written? Is this real? I mean I actually paid to rent this? I must be having a nightmare, a movie can't possibly be this bad. No spoilers in this review, there is nothing to spoil, except your wasted time

In France...how do you say.... Gar- Bahgh. Ripe and stinky Gar-Bahgh! I give it 2 stars for at least the film being in Focus.

The fact that this movie was written by the same person who wrote The Canyons starring Lindsay Lohan, speaks volumes. Bret Easton Ellis is an author not a screenwriter. That's why the dialogue is atrocious, the story falls flat, and the actors were given such a bad script that the acting is unconvincing. I'll give the movie 3 stars for the gas station scene because that was the only enjoyable moment of the movie

BORING! I'm halfway through the movie and nobody's even dead yet. The characters aren't interesting and it felt like watching paint dry. Heck, you know what, even watching paint dry is much better than this waste of time film!

With the knowledge that Bret Easton Ellis wrote and produced this film I had to see it posthaste. With his penchant for nihilistic narratives, violence and biting satire, Ellis is a favorite writer of mine so in that sense my opinion may be completely tainted by my fondness for this author and screenwriter. In the same sense I do undoubtedly posses a adoration for stalk and slash cinema so this film was right up my alley of ravaged bodies and rotting corpses. Adolescents, a cult that kills with abandon, gory visuals and an underlying sense of disillusionment as evidenced in the main character all collide to forge a slab of celluloid that was fun to watch and carefree. If you're perhaps looking for something that breaks the mould look elsewhere. If you are in the mood for a stylistic, well acted and savage piece of cinema then you have stumbled upon a gem.

...and believe me, I've watched some bad ones. Watched this because it was a Lionsgate films and generally they are fine but what even was this. You take a premise of a well known spree of crimes and it becomes this boring mess. Could have been so much more. Forgettable.
