After witnessing a strange and traumatic incident involving a patient, a psychiatrist becomes increasingly convinced that she is threatened by a mysterious entity. A few days before the show in 2022. on September 30, the film’s cast appeared at several baseball games, sitting behind the plate and smiling at the camera, motionless despite the audience’s understandably nervousness, while wearing Smile T-shirts. Another logo appeared in the background with the crowd during the Today show. Around the 31 minute mark, Rose breaks a glass when her alarm goes off. When the cup is shown at her feet, she is wearing socks. Seconds later, she’s wearing lace-up shoes as she checks the door. Given what happens later in the party, there are some continuity issues that may not be “mistakes” but may be deliberate to show Rose’s consciousness/sanity “breaks”. Rose Cotter: Who are you? why are you doing this to me Monster: Because your mind is so seductive. Paramount’s opening and closing logos feature a curved smiley line at the base of the mountain. Featured in Chris Stuckmann’s Movie Reviews: Smile (2022). Lollipop written by Beverley Ross and Julius Dixon, performed by The Chordettes. This movie scared the crap out of me from start to finish. I haven’t seen such a good horror movie in a long time. The story is a bit cliche in places, but it’s well written and mostly well acted. The acting is also excellent, which isn’t always the case when it comes to horror movies. It’s very well directed and the atmosphere is really scary. The first girl who died in the movie had probably the ugliest smile I’ve ever seen in my entire life. Especially when the therapist started seeing her in the dark as a hallucination. It really gave me goosebumps. Then there were some smiles that weren’t too scary, like the patient Karl. The pace of the movie was great. As the story progressed, it became more and more terrifying. The ending really stuck in my brain and I actually thought I was going to have nightmares that night, which doesn’t happen to me very often. The day after I saw this movie, a car passed me and the old man driving it looked at me and smiled… The only thing I could think about was this movie. It was Parker Finn’s first feature film. I really hope he makes more movies like this. Great start to a writing/directing career. Very good!
