You’ve probably stumbled upon news on SMILEY, a horror film directed by Michael J. Gallagher (TOTALLY SKETCH) getting a limited release in the U.S. from AMC. You can expect more about it in the coming weeks, as the release date comes closer and closer. Today we have a new international poster directly from AMC. The film bears watching just because of the creepy Smiley face, and the interesting cast. The synopsis, which includes the cast and release date, is below.
Beginning October 12, AMC will exclusively release SMILEY theatrically through its AMC independent platform on 28 screens in 14 markets including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, Houston and Atlanta. The release will also be supported by a marketing campaign from AMC.
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 losing 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.
