The Smiley Face Killers

I 100% agree with this films 1st review by EveryManHisPart, this is a great review, thorough and well put!

HOWEVER, that upon a bit more reading and online research please note that this is NOT necessarily a "fake" documentary. It follows the same standards of presentation as any other television or film documentary in that it does list actors that portrayed actual persons in reenactments in a few scenes, but certainly not the whole film is represented by actors. The official movie page "The Smiley Face Killers - The Award Winning & Horrifying Documentary Feature Film" on YouTube (uploaded by NewDawnFilm.com) clearly states in the "About" section:

"Through in depth interviews with victims family members and experts, *REENACTMENTS* and behind the scenes footage - this film gives an in depth look at what motivates this murderous gang that's accountable for over 80 murders across 13 states."

(*emphasis added*)

It wasn't until the retarded ending that I suspected this was fake. It's basically a shameless self promotion video making use of real tragedies for self-promotion. I was also revolted by the dialogue during the dummy test. Very disrespectful.

This is in fact a fake documentary. However, it is a fact that many males fitting the profile are indeed going missing, then found dead due to drowning. The director came across extremely conceded and self centered during the "doc" but I continued watching as I am familiar with cases such as those reviewed in this movie. This movie is extremely disrespectful to the victims and families to the numerous males dying in this way.

To hear the true, respectful story on the numerous college age boys dying in this way, Google search "missing 411 a sobering coincidence" The director just crapped all over the true story of these mysterious murders for notoriety, it seems at least. Please, if I am wrong, I am open.

This mockumentary is a disgraceful, disrespectful, cynical attempt at what? Is it black humor? Is this about adding a credit to a resume? To be so unfeeling and cold, so effortlessly, is all I'd ever need to witness regarding anyone involved in this piece of garbage. There were real victims and there are real, heartbroken families and friends left behind, you jerks. How proud and happy YOUR families must be. Shame on you all. This continued pattern of murders and senseless loss of promising young people is terrifying, and should be treated as such. Perhaps Steph Young, David Paulides, or some other tireless researcher or author will finally be able to uncover what's behind these sinister crimes. If a senator's son died this way, I think we'd see a tremendous amount of publicity and effort to solve the crime. So sad.

Totally scary but didn't know it was fiction until tight at the end, that said it was entertaining and based on the real The Smiley Face Killers. I read the book on this and it chilled my blood totally - as there's real abductions and murders happening of college-aged men
