This is proficient and creepy The tension ratches a bit unevenly, but the scares are good, the acting solid, the direction and writing lovely. It is a strange story, one I can appreciate, and it is not some run-of-the-mill thing. I think this movie gets a lot more flak than it deserves, and I think it is a good watch. It is refreshing to see novel ideas like this made into movies of this quality.

Smile presents a gripping psychological horror rooted in dread rather than jump scares, yet it falters with a weak story foundation and underdeveloped character arcs. While the visuals, sound design, and unique camerawork build suspense effectively, repetitive effects and a predictable ending slightly dull the impact. Despite strong moments from the lead actress, inconsistent performances and unresolved plot elements leave this debut feeling intriguing but incomplete.

"_It's the worst smile I've ever seen in my life._" I would say this was a little predictable from the middle to the end, but it's still enjoyable. The whole third act might haunt you if you are not used to disturbing scenes, but it made the movie for me. Reminds me of It Follows.

I liked Smile. It’s a solid horror movie that kept me engaged, but I couldn’t help feeling like it was missing something. The premise is really strong, and it teases a deeper psychological exploration that I was excited for, but it didn’t fully deliver on that front. Sosie Bacon gave a good performance as Dr. Rose Cotter, and the film did a great job building tension and delivering scares, but the direction and script felt like they held back from something greater. Interestingly, the movie was made on a $17 million budget and ended up grossing over $217 million worldwide, which is seriously impressive. It was originally planned for streaming, but after strong test screenings, it got a theatrical release, and I can see why. The cinematography and atmosphere work so much better on a big screen. I appreciated the effort Parker Finn put into creating a creepy, unsettling vibe, especially for his feature debut, but I wish the story had gone a bit deeper into the psychological themes it hinted at. Overall, it’s a decent horror film that does enough to entertain and has some genuinely tense moments.

Suitably creepy, even if it does lose effectiveness as its progresses. 2022's <em>'Smile'</em> is still, all in all, a good movie. The premise ought to bring entertainment and I'm pleased to say that it does, at least for me. I like the trajectory of how and why the thing works the way it does, the scene with Rob Morgan is particularly well done in that regard. Sosie Bacon gives a fairly strong performance in the lead role, with Kyle Gallner supporting ably. Caitlin Stasey naturally steals the show a bit with *that* face - certainly unsettling! As noted, it does become less and less unnerving as the run time ticks on. However, thankfully, the film wraps up before it gets tiresome or anything close. Eager to see what the sequel brings.

First thing that I like about this movie is that, it's unique. It's not like a copy of another copy like we usually see these days. Story's unique. Second thing that I liked about this movie is that it's scary, it's quite scary. If you're horror fan, you should definitely watch this. I suggest you to watch it in the dark, preferably alone. Also, the actress playing the main character does outstanding job. Overall, I'm going to put this movie in my favorite horror movies list. It surely deserves its place there.
