TIME: Video On Demand
VENUE: Wicked Weekend Virtual Cinema

From novelist Bret Easton Ellis (American Psycho) and director Tim Hunter (River’s Edge, Twin Peaks) comes the thriller SMILEY FACE KILLERS, which is slashing its way to Popcorn Frights Wicked Weekend for this Halloween’s season of fear! Inspired by true events and the twisted “smiley face killers” conspiracy theory that has gripped the American imagination for decades, this pulse-pounding serial killer tale reunites acclaimed director Hunter with his River’s Edge star Crispin Glover (Back to the Future). As a strange wave of mysterious drownings plagues the California coast, Jake Graham (Ronan Rubinstein, Some Kind of Hate) struggles to keep his life together at school. Finding himself suddenly stalked by an ominous hooded figure (Glover) driving an unmarked van, Jake fears he may become the next victim of a group of serial killers who are on a horrific spree. They abduct, torture and kill attractive male students and then float the corpses in water, leaving a smiley face as their signature. The perverse mind games advance and they force their newest prey into isolation as the Smiley Face Killers prepare for the ultimate sacrifice.
