The Smiley Face Killers

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.

A creative and riveting film that grips you right at the end in a terrifying twist. Though this is fiction it is based on REAL events. Estimates are there are 300 dead college men - all killed by "The Smiley Face Killers" - author Steph Young (Stephen Young) has written compelling books about these "Smiley Face killers" -'Dead in the Water: Forever Awake. Investigating the Smiley Face Killers' -was one of the most frightening books i have ever read. This documentary-style movie is based on these killers and the phenomenon of disappearing college men. It's a real-time investigation and a documentary style. A retired NYPD began tracking these killers - they're still out there. This imaginative, compelling, and ultimately terrifying movie does an awesome job in bringing this to light. Good Job! The suspense is gripping throughout and the ending shocking!

I didn't know that this documentary was a fake, what I know for sure is that the "Smiley Face Killers" really exists, they are unknown and they are suspected about forty kills, using abduction of drunk people and the "waterboarding" torture. Their mark is, obviously, a smile paint in some rocks or engraved in the trees nearby the corpses. Really chilling.

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
