My curiosity was peaked with the five minute video going around with scenes straight from this movie proclaiming it's stupidity and then coming here and seeing almost every user who has logged the film has rated it 1 star or less.

This is obviously not going to be high art. But it's honestly not the worst movie I've ever seen. There are beyond ridiculously stupid plot-lines involving 4CHAN, glorifying hackers, memes and a significant plot point involving the atrocious word (I'm using the term "word" loosely) "lulz."

An urban legend involving anonymous video chat, a Candyman-like scenario, calling the happy faced killer (dubbed "Smiley") by typing "I did it for the lulz" three times, but you really have to mean…

Candyman on Elm Street ... for the YouTube generation

Have you ever noticed that, apart from the hugely redundant but nevertheless straightforward and no-nonsense remakes, horror directors nowadays also blatantly steal the key elements and/or plot lines of great genre classics and shamelessly process them into new movies like it were their very own and brilliantly invented ideas? Take the example of "Smiley", for instance… The basic premise handles about an urban legend of a sadistic killer – Smiley – who appears behind you and your computer when you're chatting online and the other party types a particular catchphrase three times in a row. People, like yours truly, who have been watching horror movies long before cyberspace ever existed know…

I've wanted to see Smiley since I first saw the trailer a few months back. Simply because it looked creepy and Smiley reminded me of the creepy pasta Jeff the Killer.

This was a movie that I had a hell of a time rating and I'm still not sure if I picked the right one. While a lot of people don't like this movie, I loved the deeper meaning behind it. Simply that: The reason that people have become inhumane and have done bad things is simply because they can. Which is exactly what this movie is about, people will do stupid…

'Smiley' seems to be universally hated by the majority of people. I'm not sure if people were expecting this movie to have potential or what, but I will say that I knew this movie was going to be terrible. So, why 2 and a half stars? Because unlike most bad movies, 'Smiley' is so bad that it actually becomes good. Think 'Troll 2', for example.

If you're not knowledgeable about internet subculture, then this movie is going to be shit for you. My friends didn't understand any of the culture, and subsequently hated it. What makes the movie even better, is if you have a disdain for internet subculture. I loathe 4chan, so seeing their users be depicted as they…
