Decent entertainment
At first, I love horror movies. Yet I found the trailer of "Smile" so terrifying that I could not go to cinema to watch it. Especially alone. Just chickened out completely. But recently I happened to be so extremely bored and procrastinated, that checked the trailer again, found it a little bit less disturbing, and I finally watched it (alone!!!).
And I have to say - I really liked it. Excellent idea. The plot wasn't predictable, story was interesting. Few good jump scares. The cast did a great job, their performances felt truly authentic. I rooted for Rose (Sosie Bacon) and Yoel (Kyle Gallner) until the end, dr. Madeline (Robin Weigert) reminded me of the shrink I know. Loved little artsy camera things and beautiful landscapes. Decent entertainment. - lorenzodininno - 23 May 2024
Started off well, but...
After seeing the first 15 minutes i believed i was about to watch a decent film but could i have been more wrong...
The first trauma scene with the patient is really well executed and that smile scared the shi out of me. But it seems the movie goes downfall after that. Every time we get a jumpscare and someone smiling at her it becomes less effective and horror is gradually lost. By the end of the movie i wasn't even scared.
And if you try to find meaning in all this, apart from the obvious evil forces threatening the protagonist, you will find a lot of plot holes that don't back up the theory that it is all an illusion and her trauma is causing all that trouble. Otherwise all of the victims wouldn't be connected through such a clear pattern.
