Ellen E Jones Guardian 12/11/2020
1/5
With the addition of some decent jump-scares, Smiley Face Killers might have passed muster as a gender-swapped slasher flick, but it's too under-researched to take seriously as true crime. Go to Full Review
Steven Warner In Review Online 06/05/2021
Smiley Face Killers isn't good per se, and there's a whole lot of mess to wade through, but it's never less than a compelling watch, if not always for the reasons intended. Go to Full Review
Carla Hay Culture Mix 03/09/2021
[It's] just a substandard slasher flick that has nothing to do with [the] mysterious drownings [in] the real-life Smiley Face Killers theory ... The only mystery about the film is why the producers wasted their money to get this worthless junk made. Go to Full Review

3/5
Smiley Face Killers' main shortcoming is the performances... Still, thanks to the plot and the old pro holding the reins, the film works better than it has any right to. Go to Full Review

2/5
Violent horror tale; gore, blood, drugs, and sex. Go to Full Review

3/5
A movie that doesn't play like a conventional horror film, and yet ends up being truly horrific. Go to Full Review

Kim T Dec 22 This was absolutely terrible See more Craig B @Boundsy 07/20/2024 Well, if you're after a slow burn (VERY slow burn) horror, The Smiley Face Killers may be what you are after. If you are fine to wait until nearly an hour into the movie for things to really start happening, this could be for you. While the dark atmosphere continues to build in the first hour, I really was expecting much more to happen, as would many other watchers, I'm sure. In all, pretty disappointing, considering there was an opportunity to have so much more going on. See more Andy J 09/30/2021 Nothing much happens for an hour and the plot is weak. See more 08/17/2021 This movie sucked so bad I actually kept skipping forward to see if their was even one descent scene. Nope it all sucked. I was expecting a serial killer movie instead it was about some lame college kid being a wimp around his girlfriend and getting stupid threats on his cellphone! I could have made a better serial killer movie in my sleep. See more 07/26/2021 The best acting came from Crispin Glover, and he didn't have any lines. The main actor was terrible. Don't waste your time! See more bryan b @heybryan 07/22/2021 Put this one back on whatever shelf you found it and burn that shelf. This is the most boring non slasher movie. See more Read all reviews
