While it's easy to appreciate Gallagher tackling the fruitful subject of Internet urban legends...it's a scratch on the surface. Maybe he's just looking to get the ball rolling, but Smiley is likely to be buried in the bargain bin.

It's amazing what a killer mask and a smarter than expected ending can do to a mediocrity like Smiley

[A] by-the-numbers slasher pic.

A genre failure on every conceivable level...

Think Candyman for the Twitter generation.

A thunderously stupid horror movie of slapdash construction and ping-pong tonalities.

This remainder-bin horror movie is impossible to take seriously.

Smiley's face, or lack of one, is the single creepy effect in the limited trick bag of first-time writer-director Michael Gallagher, age 24, who otherwise relies, again and again, on false-scare musical shrieks to make audiences jump.

Internet chat rooms provide the dubious hook for this generic slasher movie.

The storytelling gets repetitive, but there is enough here to make Smiley feel fresh and more or less satisfying as a low-key creeper.

This film will not do for the Internet what Psycho did for showers-no more computers have to be smashed because of it.
