A brand new one-sheet for Michael Gallagher's upcoming slasher flick Smiley has found its way on the web today, and it pretty much proves to us that the guys in the adverting department aren't all that creative, or original for that matter. Take a gander, and "scream" if you concur.



Beginning October 12th, the highly anticipated horror/thriller film SMILEY from director Michael Gallagher (“Totally Sketch”) will be excluvely released theatrically through AMC and its independent platform.SMILEY, co-written by YouTube sensation Gallagher and Glasgow Phillips (“South Park”) and produced by Michael Wormser (Some Guy Who Kills People) of Level 10 Films, has an enormous fan base to call on. Gallagher and his YouTube partners on “Totally Sketch,” as well as the other performers in the film including Shane Dawson (“Shane Dawson’s TV”) and Toby Turner ("The Annoying Orange"), have over 11 million subscribers, 2.2 billion views, and 4 million plus fans on Facebook/Twitter combined.

The story of the film follows a mentally fragile college student named Ashley (Caitlin Gerard from Magic Mike and The Social Network) who, after learning of an urban legend in which a mysterious serial killer named “Smiley” can be summoned through the Internet, must decide whether she is long her mind or becoming Smiley's next victim. SMILEY also stars Melanie Papalia (“Endgame”) and Andrew James Allen (“Make It or Break It”), with Roger Bart (“Desperate Housewives”), Keith David (The Thing), and Liza Weil (“Scandal”) rounding out the cast.

In addition to the AMC release, the film will be available on more traditional platforms including DVD, Blu-ray, iTunes, Redbox, and cable VOD after the traditional theatrical release window has closed.

"We are very proud to partner with AMC through the AMC independent program for the theatrical release of Smiley. Nikkole and the entire AMC team have been tremendous partners in bringing the film to theaters, all across the nation. Smiley is a truly independent film, and AMC independent has created an unprecedented opportunity for filmmakers like myself to bring their films to mainstream audiences without a middleman. This exciting partnership gives us the chance to deliver a thrilling, interactive moviegoing experience for the fans, just in time for Halloween," said director Gallagher.
