The Smiling Man - Short Horror Film

[@helloxina93]

if that was the smiling man, i'd run after him myself.

[@TREKLlN]

[@rajasrisinharoy2687]

:D

[@billyfinlay4159]

Yeah sure you would

[@kingofdeath9012]

Since I'm not a suicidal maniac, I'd run. But he wouldn't catch me.

[@huff3135]

Bruh it looks like a 13 year old kid

[@farrellmario4776]

that guy was too cute to be the smiling man

[@goblinb]

Yeah, I thought he was too young, and clean=cut looking. The smiling man in the other film was much creepier.

I love how there are many different variations of this short film and they all are really good

[@airaobregon-jg9ws]

The even better, or best version is the one which is posted on my FB timeline, i guess.

I think he was trying to show off his stunning dance skills

[@danahbaby27]

Brianna Swift wahahahahaha yeh I also think so

[@nadiasheikhn.s750]

Exactly..😂😂😂

[@oliverthelazycat55]

Brianna Swift 😂

[@georgebush2794]

Yeah, he just really wanted to dance with somebody, but everyone just walks away. I kinda feel bad for him. He just wants you to show out his dancing moves

[@joanna00]

Maybe

[@FrankieTeardrop1998]

There's something very satisfying about the sound of smiling man's footsteps.

The sound of the shoes of that smiling man was really creepy.

[@sliceanddice5707]

They just stole that from the 2am one

[@Little-She-Devil]

I once told this story to some folks who was camping. I was camping alone and they asked me if i wanted to join them. When everyone went to sleep only i and their daughter was left awake. She needed to go to the toilet. I made her so afraid i had to go with her and wait outside the toilet door. Best horror story to tell when you are camping. 10+ points from me.

[@JakeSandersonMusic]

This was pretty well done. I do agree with others here that the actor who played "The Smiling Man" should have been older and the smile a little more creepy, however, the cinematography and music were amazing. My favorite shots were the ones when we see the man on the swings and as the main character walks across the window of the house, you see "The Smiling Man" dancing to the right. This is not deserve all the dislikes it has. Great job!

[@rafaelfokerson7099]

Should watch 2AM short film... Is WAYY more better than this one....

[@rafaelfokerson7099]

Any way it's not bad but not scary (for me at least)

[@singularitae8997]

People disliked cause they were too scared >+

[@rafaelfokerson7099]

I kinda liked more The 2AM short film

[@rafaelfokerson7099]

+Glenn Overman This one is good but i give 2AM 8.7/10

[@rafaelfokerson7099]

+Glenn Overman This one like 6.4/10

[@iverychacon7189]

I agree Rafael Fokerson

[@laquesiablake5033]

I'm a real fan of this

[@willthefish5543]

same thing pretty much

[@misdilettante]

Damn if the smiling man really looked like that....I wouldn't mind being stalked by him at all.

you know what!? I am gonna start taking night/dawn walks from today!

Honestly, this isn't some weird complement (it kinda is i guess) and I'm not even gay. That guy is too good looking to be the smiling man. XD

[@frisk7951]

xAdamBr lol ikr

[@MichaelWTurner]

I agree. The dude wasn't scary. Not even a little. With a creepier looking actor it would have worked.

[@deathshot718]

Rips hahahhaha

[@nadiasheikhn.s750]

He looked so cute..But his sudden appearence just scared the shit out of me..😂😂😂

I'd love to dance with that smiling man LOL

[@anabelrosie1817]

yeah

[@Rojel-ls3yn]

The other Smiling man 2am youtube video is much much better and eerie.2023❤

[@MegaLotusEater]

The smiling man was too baby faced to be scary. 2AM is by far the best smiling man short

[@taracollins5597]

At first, I thought that too. But re-watching it, I find it creepy how this version shows him younger.....but also 'old-time'. He is dressed for & dancing to music from the '40s. And he seems deliriously pleased to be doing so. Yet he is also stalking his latest victim......a fun twist on the always-good tale.

[@OnionMoth05]

Moral of the story: don’t take a walk at 2am unless you wanna get creepily followed by a horrifying man in s suit

[@chrisoliver5302]

good take, but I think the 2AM version followed the "True Story" more....still well done and scary as fuck.

[@rafaelfokerson7099]

Agree.... ^U^

[@zoengi3303]

Chr 9ooooo

[@karyhuffman3902]

What is the true story? I haven't heard of this 😕

I’d ask to dance with him. lol

[@hispanickidrambo3230]

Like me XD

[@oliverthelazycat55]

the "stay away from me" part was amazing👏 great actin

[@Matheuslung]

I liked it a lot, just think the smile could've been more scary, it threw me off for the entire short, so it could've been scarier, but great work though.

[@PlannedParadox]

Thanks!

[@TDubIII]

Agreed! The smiling man should've been older and a bit more menacing. But it was creepy. I would not want to walk by someone dancing like that haha

[@toxickidd7944]

Also at 4:02 😂😂😂

[@taxevasion0336]

I mean yeah he is doing a ballroom dance lol

[@hollyunicorn]

Your creation for this video is awesome

[@omarortega207]

Preston Blackard's performance is outstanding! The interpretation of The Smiling Man in this movie was creative and very creepy! It made me think of a ghost. Love the music at the end.

[@dianewinchester4656]

Its unfair to compare work. I tried to watch this one for its own sake. I didn't feel scared though, because your smiling man is the cutest little thing ever. His smile actually brightens the room. But good effort.

[@cjmacq-vg8um]

eli stolt did a great job on the lighting, especially the outdoor scenes, and that last camera move and effect was inspired! good job and thanks for the film.

[@PlannedParadox]

c. j. macq Thank you very much!

[@olir6910]

He's not creepy he's adorable

[@eleftheriaeleftheria3302]

Excellent reboot!

[@Joru0906]

I’m trying to remember what I saw, it was something like this where a guy was being chased. He got away. Took a breath, and then after a few seconds noticed the guy was sprinting after him at full speed.

[@abnertorres8549]

of course the narrated story from the actual event was the eeriest, but 2am did it justice more than this reinvention!

[@senti1967]

Not scary, but if this happened to me in rl I would poop in my pants.

[@renoda1788]

To anyone who says this is a knockoff of 2AM...they are both based off of the Creepypasta stories so neither of them are exactly original Just individual interpretations. Both interesting in my opinion.

[@vividsignal2926]

They took the outdoor stuff straight out of the Michael Evans 2AM video which was only a couple years earlier. Hardly a reinterpretation, more a knock off.

[@helloxina93]

Guy is waaaaayyy too cute to be a smiling man

[@epicedits2334]

That guy looks too innocent.

[@kiraschannel2558]

2:50 I literally jumped but not because of the guy but because of the sound effect lol😂

[@ShadowbornRaven]

I certainly enjoyed the unique take on the true story this video took

[@JMonologuesCompilation]

The smiling man's some kind of cultural meme like the slenderman?

[@infinite6766]

This Was Amazing Great Job

[@joaomarreiros4906]

Now that will put a smile on your face!

[@lailaanan2579]

To be completely honest, the 2am version was better and I think that the "smiling man" is handsome so it is not that creepy but good job though

[@kishorkadave155]

The smiling man is so cute . I really like.

[@Denisowator]

At the end, it was the attack sound from Slender: The Arrival. XD

If that’s what the smiling man looks like ... call me the smiling woman

Lol, I'll be the smilling son.

[@cat_sapphire3755]

WHAT KIND OF TRUE STORY WAS THIS BASED OFF OF

[@Wherethedeadwalk]

Cat_sapphire_ :3 it was a Creepypasta not a true story (as far as I know)

[@prometheuspictures1183]

Actually it's not based on a creepypasta, but a person's encounter from the r/letsnotmeet subreddit.

[@Emo.Princess]

I just thought it was based on a man on drugs 😅

[@guymanson1626]

*"Stay away from me."*

[@Gnomesareverywhere]

[@calipurnioelreydelodio7141]

The problem with the adaptation: The Smiling man doesn't scared me. Looks like a high guy more than a killer. Must to scare when you see it.

[@BeanTopXO]

Can’t watch it without thinking about the 2AM short film

[@philschuler9674]

I get it is a short, but i wish the smiling mans character was more devoloped, mayby through flashbacks?

[@07g53]

I get that its creepy but that actor looks too wholesome for it to be scary:))

Straight rip off of the 2am version

[@adrianburchell8075]

its alright, but the home invasion bit at end wasnt necessary. i have seen various versions of this tale and the best i seen is still the 2am: the smiling man version, which also happened to be the first i saw.

[@phaedrabonaparte735]

Horror on mute becomes drama

[@kikipotter792]

The Smiling man story is the only CreepyPasta that ever actually scared me. So the fact that the smiling man in this wasn't as terrifying as I'd pictured while listening to the actual story, helped me lose some of the terror I felt for the story. But he's still creepy as fuck 😂😂 10/10 ((but the smiling man in this is cute not spooky so it helped a lot 😂))

[@terrythompson6386]

I think the real smiling man was a man suffering from a Nervous breakdown or some type of mental dilemma that caused him to be acting out with strange behaviors

[@starrchild254]

There was no real smiling man, it started out as a creepypasta

[@Joru0906]

I’m trying to remember what I saw the other day, it was exactly like this, but when the guy stopped you saw the guy running at him from far away full sprint

[@AlyxAesthetics]

The actor who was the Smiling Man in the 2AM version had a much more unsettling smile and movements.

[@taracollins5597]

At first I agreed that the Smiling Man should have been a bit older, his smile creepier....but then I watched it again. I actually now think he is perfect for this! Its like he is a shape-shifter...or even age-shifter, that he can be any age he wants, any appearance he wants. Having him appear younger gives this a 'prequel' aspect.....very creepy! I wanted to add one more thing: THIS Smiling Man actor has the best dancing.....he actually makes you *hear* music....when there is NONE! Superb. The music is a fantastic choice also.

[@theultrawarrior7448]

I like The smiling man that has 15 million views.

[@froner_ticon]

Oh smiling man

[@omarortega207]

No doubt a filmmaker is going to notice The Smiling Man's popularity, and bring his story to the big screen. Such was the case for Lights Out. I'm hoping James Wan and Leigh Whannel will be the ones to helm a movie about the urban legend of The Smiling Man.

[@ferreirafelipe30]

He'z too cute for a horror role

[@Blue0000FF]

The main actor overacts literally within the first minute of being on camera. That follows with the same noticeable underacting. The creepy man's smile is not creepy enough. His movements are not too sharp and scary either.
