Smiley (2012)
Really not a good film. Its basically the same concept as candyman, only you're supposed to type "i did it for the lulz" into an internet chat three times and the killer pops up behind your chat partner and kills them. Basically there are loads of badly done jump scares and the film tries to show that the main protagonist is getting paranoid but it just gets annoying really. Surprisingly enough shes seeing a psychiatrist having been treated in the past for bipolar disorder. Why is it all the new films play on mental disorder? It doesnt add anything.
Anyway.. It shows this girl getting more and more stressed after summoning smiley and she believes that hes after her. She goes to the police but they dont believe her because they have no missing persons, no bodies and no evidence of any crime. They basically lauhh her out of the station when she admits shes seeing a psychiatrist.
After a long drawn out period of smileys after me no hes not maybe he is, we get her to discover a body, the police laugh at her again and she heads home. Loads of smileys come after her and she ends up dead. The smileys demask and they are all high school kids in one very well planned prank. The congradulate one another on s job well done and then you get one last look at smiley in an "oh god he is real" scene.
To be honest it actually looks better in writing but its been done before and its been done better. 1/10
