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.

Rated: 1/5

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.

[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.

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.

Rated: 3/5

Violent horror tale; gore, blood, drugs, and sex.

A movie that doesn't play like a conventional horror film, and yet ends up being truly horrific.

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.

Nothing much happens for an hour and the plot is weak.

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.

The best acting came from Crispin Glover, and he didn't have any lines. The main actor was terrible. Don't waste your time!

Put this one back on whatever shelf you found it and burn that shelf. This is the most boring non slasher movie.
