Happy Slapping

Writer-director Christos Sourligas's first feature deals with the tough but important topic of online hazing, and the consequences for five high school friends who become increasingly obsessed with creating something viral. Shot captured footage-style, and most likely inspired by the wave of random "Knockouts" perpetrated across the country, the film is equally entertaining and disturbing. In rare instances, the movie verges on heavy-handed, but this is understandable given the serious subject matter. The best parts of the film are the ensemble moments that allow the cast to breathe and play off one another - like the excellent bar scene in which an aging, philosophical busboy allows his new underage pals to have the run of the place - equally touching, hilarious and tense. All in all the film is deftly executed and thoughtful - the writing, acting and direction are very well done. Sourligas keeps his fly-on-the-wall camera engaged and natural, but still cinematic. I definitely recommend this film.

This is the biggest load of dribble i have had the misfortune to watch.I would like to happily slap the whole cast of miserable deadhead scumbags!

When I first viewed this film it was part of a summer festival and I picked the early morning slot. The director of the movie shot the movie entirely via his phone boy was he ahead of his time. In today's world of iphone 6 I can't imagine how much more brilliant this movie would turn out to be.

The actors who were in this movie played his or her role brilliantly egos were checked outside the door. I recommend you rent or buy this flick but please view it in the evening when you can focus as at times it was difficult to concentrate....I give it an 8 on 10 ....a 10 on 10 for the actors/director...enjoy and happy viewing..

Im giving 4 only for the thai girl.Nice act.And the movie is good until the end wich sucked very hard...with out the last 20 mins the movie is like 8/10
