Firstly, Rose is a better person than me because I'd have done what that man told her and spent the rest of my days in prison, in peace. 7/10, this is the rating I'd give if I hadn't watched a lot of horrors so that's what I'm sticking with, it reminds me so much of The Ring and has a lot of the orthodox methods other horror movies used to incite f...

Although there were pretty good jumpscares, it lacks in keeping the audience anticipated. If you are horror fan you might give it a try.

Wow, this is scary. Extraordinary performance by the cast of this film, they all were great. Great acting, great expression and we can actuallt feel the tension between them. Great story concept although its still unclear what is this "Curse" really is. I love the camera work in this film and the cinematography, its beautiful and great t...

Scary... It navigates itself through trauma & mental illness. This exploration of trauma by supernatural elements and a claustrophobic environment around characters creates an eerie experience. The structure and plot points of its story-writing feels familiar as it reminds of an inescapable horror trope that was in ‘The Ring’ & ‘Final Destinatio...

The constant jump scares felt really tacky to me and completely took away from what this movie was actually trying to do. I think behind it all, there is a good social message being portrayed, but the movie bogs itself down too much with trying to be scary and trying to fit into certain horror movie tropes, that it actually misses the opportunit...

I can't....☹️

Loaded with jump scares that are pretty much all effective the movie works well as a metaphor for trauma. Sosie Bacon is great and her poor nephew will never be right. Also Kyle Gallner as always gives a very good performance along with Kal Penn and some freaky practical effects...

I waited a while before sitting down to watch Smile. The initial stills and trailer were certainly disturbing and intriguing, but unfortunately, I just could not find the time. Having just now watched the movie in preparation for its sequel, I’m surprised by the depth of the themes it tackles. The main character, Rose, experiences deep trauma in he...

Even though I love horror movies, it's rare I get genuinely scared from movie scenes. This one not only had some good scares, there was also some solid psychological moments in the movie that were real mind f***s when watching. After witnessing her patient take her own life, Rose starts seeing demonic smiling and moments that leave her more than sh...

This movie is very disturbing, I’d say after the point in which our main character’s sister head dropped at the car window I was pretty much done with. This is a full on compliment, the premise itself is pretty dark & vague. We know little of how this entity works but I believe the more we find out the more interesting it becomes. Our main charac...

RUNTIME- 1hr 55mins. THE PLOT- After witnessing a bizarre, traumatic incident involving a patient, a psychiatrist becomes increasingly convinced she is being threatened by an uncanny entity. GENRES- Horror, mystery, thriller. THE GOOD- Very unnerving, jumpy, pacing, creepy as hell, decent story, Sosie Bacon is particularly great in this, gory, cool...

a review by Evan Landon Upon seeing the initial trailers for this 2022 supernatural psychological thriller, I was immediately intrigued. Where else had I seen the same fear of people smiling at me right before they off themselves, then like a demonic virus, it makes that person kill themselves too? Now, I am sure there is a movie just like that s...

La vi por segunda ves a ver si me cambiaba la opinión y no la sigo sintiendo poco interesante y aburrida y tratan de compensarlo con las escenas incómodas y los jumscare....

Smile feels a bit like a mashup of several horror stories but really ratchets things up with its soundwork, cinematography, editing, unique story and stlye and attention to detail down to a smiley face coffee cup. There's gore to spare and even surprises I forgot about having watched before. I love the opening title card and then digging into the t...

A cool take on this type of horror movie. Some fun effects and amazing camera work. Not a birthday movie for kids.

Say cheese! I had ZERO intention of watching this film when it was first released back in 2022, but God dammit, it was literally everywhere… Every time I spoke to a friend: Smile. Every time I spoke to a co-worker: Smile. Every time I went on social media: Smile. I couldn’t avoid it even if I wanted to! So I recently caved and I watched it, and yo...

6.5/10 Smile basically rips off The Ring (and probably other horror films) with its curse system. It’s very cliché in that sense. I wasn’t expecting to like Smile’s camerawork as much as I did. They consistently do this creepy pan where you’re looking for whoever is smiling, and once you find them, it sends chills up your spine. The score contri...

Smile’s creepy trailers and clever marketing were the best parts of a movie with a meager plot drenched in uneasy sounds, and way too many jump scares. Smile obsesses over saturating every moment in unsettling dread. The score and sound effects make every moment uneasy and uncomfortable, and not in a good way. Smile’s premise bore many similaritie...
