Since 1998 The Smiley Face Killers gang has been responsible for the drowning deaths of over 80 young men across 11 states.

Then they dump the bodies in nearby rivers or lakes subsequently washing away any evidence and always leave their signature, a Smiley Face painted nearby. In 2011, Andrew Fitzgerald who had followed the cases since he was in high school began working on a documentary that once completed would be the most comprehensive piece ever done on these killers. He was working in New York City at the time as a videographer/editor and with his equipment and skills was making the film in his spare time. Using social media as a launch pad he was generating interest along the way by documenting the behind the scenes happenings so people could see first hand just what it took to make a film of this caliber.

The Smiley Face Killers (2014) Reviews
So Disappointing (NOT REAL)
I stumbled upon this documentary on YouTube while working a pretty boring overnight shift. I was actually really excited about it because I have actually heard bits and pieces about the Smiley Face Killer conspiracies. The initial plot was attention grabbing, since I thought it was a REAL documentary. Turns out it's fake. Which is really disappointing and puts a bad taste in my mouth since these types of events are pretty common (young men going missing and turning up in the local river). The movie itself was very boring and dragged out. I found myself nodding off a few times while the different cases were explained. It was the ending that made me realize the documentary couldn't be true. While watching it unfold, I couldn't help but feel like it was predictable and overly dramatic. If you ever find yourself bored, you're better off just looking into the Smiley Face Killer stuff yourself with a simple Google search.
A real life story of the 'Smiley Face Killers' turned into poorly hoaxed, self promotion video about the director.
Andrew Fitzgerald (the 'missing' director of this so called documentary) uses the real life story of the "Smiley Face Killers" theory of many single accounts of accidental drownings being linked together by a so called "Smily Face" marking and many other coincidences that is too odd to be assumed each as a single accidental death. After watching more real life stories and reading a lot more information about this, it's a very intriguing bunch of circumstances that definitely has a lot of fact linking a lot of these accidental deaths together. This film highlights a lot of the director's (Andrew Fitgerald) film career to build up to the ending of his so called real footage abduction. The film is told from his friends point of view after Andrew is told to be missing in real life. A quick Google search and you'll find the ending of this film is an utter and total hoax, he is alive and well and was never missing at all. He even promotes this 'documentary' after it's release and still posts on Facebook today. I feel very sorry for all involved in this real story, the family, friends & detectives featured in this film, as Andrew bring great doubt & disbelief in the whole story to anyone newly researching it. There was absolutely no need to bring fiction into the truth. If your interested in the Smiley Face Killers story please do not watch this horrible self promotion piece of poorly executed film.
My opinion, what do you think?
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.
Shameful
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.
A Very Good "Fake" Documentary !!!
I'm not only a film fanatic, but a "true crime" fanatic too, and I came across this film in the true crime serial killer listings. So I watched it naively thinking that its an actual doc about the Smiley Killers deaths. I completely enjoyed the film on YouTube, but got very bummed out when I looked at its IMDb page & realized that it's really a spoof on the Smiley Killer deaths. I mean that this film is pure fiction, even using actors for people in the film that are portrayed as the victims and the families of the victims. I'm still giving this film a 10 because it's very entertaining and well done but I REALLY wish that I had known that it was a fictional account of the Smiley Killer deaths before I viewed it.
