User blog comment:Umbrello/"Smiley" - a horrible creepypasta movie/@comment-25052433-20141019071720

Saw it, laughed at it, somewhat enjoyed it, as I kept it in perspective throughout.

Sometimes when I review pastas, I used the tag line, "For What It Is." Smiley fell into that category for me. I knew it wasn't going to be an Oscar worthy movie long before I ever viewed it. I knew it was going to be cheap, rely on redundant horror concepts, and have a "shock" ending. It did all of these things.

Still, for something that I pulled off of Netflix and essentially watched for free, it was fun for what it was worth.

In the meantime, if you want to see a few really amazing gems on Netflix, try the following:

Home Movie - I don't say this often, but this one was genuinely disturbing.

The Den - Another internet centric movie, but it was done well and put a new twist on the "found footage" concept.

Europa - This was actually a fantastic horror-sci fi movie that went the distance.

Senseless - Not to be confused with the 90's Marlon Wayans movie of the same title. This one was grotesque, morbid and thought provoking all at the same time.

Dale and Tucker Vs Evil - This one is witty, hilarious and just plain fun from start to finish.

Anyway, those are my suggestions if you want a Netflix experience minus the guilt of wasting an hour and a half on something like Smiley.
