[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@jessica98256]

2am wayy scarier that smiling man looked more creepier,then this one.👹👻👺💀🤖👽😈

[@shradhasumanrath4544]

This aint that creepy...the 2am smiling man is more creepy...that was a better one

[@chrisoliver5302]

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

[@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]

when I saw the man I burst out lagging THIS IS NOT SCAREY OR CREEPY LOL YOU WANT TO MAKE A HORROR STORY SO MUCH DREAM BUT YOU WILL NEVER MAKE ONE LOL ITS NOT SCAREY OR CREEPY LOL

[@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)

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

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@queenlady282]

1:37 Wow he's dancing with his imaginary girlfriend!

[@trishasinghal1484]

Also at 4:02 😂😂😂

[@taxevasion0336]

I mean yeah he is doing a ballroom dance lol

[@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

[@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.

[@deborarugemalila215]

I would ask the smiling man out for that cuteness

[@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 😂))

[@abnertorres8549]

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

[@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.

[@JMonologuesCompilation]

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

[@Aqibali-jt7eg]

had he been bitten by mad dog that he left his home and started walking outside so late at night.especially after post rain weather

[@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.

[@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.

[@oliverthelazycat55]

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

[@Denisowator]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@philschuler9674]

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

[@killbillyosahah507]

I've seen like 4 different smiling man short films, are y'all in competition???

[@behappyyy8925]

Same. I did too. 2am was the creepiest haha

[@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

[@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 😅

[@kiwikingdom1019]

If you like this one I would also recommend the 2AM video. It’s funny and terrifying all at once.

[@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.

[@lamedrawings]

Scuse me but is the smilling man wearing tap shoes? Boy he is running late for his dance class now isnt he?

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.

[@playasadonejoe]

You're just lucky he didn't have spoons.

[@ShadowbornRaven]

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

[@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.

[@jyoung78]

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

[@geoffk777]

There is a "true" creepypasta about "The Smiling Man" AKA "Indrid Cold", but he's much weirder with a Joker-like smile and wide-set eyes. He is probably an alien. If he's real, which is unlikely.

[@ferreirafelipe30]

Mas gente, anos atrás já não fizeram um curta quase igual sendo que aqui o homem literalmente persegue o outro pra dentro da casa, eu hein.
