I got so frustrated when Joel just stayed there to watch WHEN HE KNEW what was going to happen after doing all that research for Rose. But if there’s a sequel, I wanna see it 😂
EXACTLY! Like sir, look away!!!
YES!!!
That was the only part of the movie that bugged me. He knew but he still stood and looked anyways 😂 hopefully there’s a sequel. If not it’s okay
I would’ve turned my ass right around 😂
I liked this movie so much I was so surprised with how good it was. It got me a couple times I definitely did scream.
The whole “it’s all in your head, but that doesn’t make it any less real” parallel with mental illness was really well crafted
As someone who takes care of my dad with paranoid schizophrenia this movie was really hard, but I love how they took the stereotypes “nut case”, “crazies”, etc. and immediately makes the person who said it look like insensitive and disrespectful. It really is and a lot of people lack that empathy. Imagine living in a world where your family, friends, everyone around you thinks you’re insane when you are physically seeing and feeling these things. Beautiful awareness in this film
except in this film she has actual proof and she doesn’t use it,
also i didn’t like the way she reacted when atrain brought the therapist, it’s like she looks down on her patients, that’s what i got from it at least “i’m not crazy unlike the people i deal with”(she didn’t say that but thas how i interpreted it)
@@itsmisale Atrain lmao
Knowing this evil entity exists in her mind and she can only see it gave me anxiety. I did not feel safe even when she was around people or by herself, it can pop out of nowhere at anytime.
“I’m sick of your ugly face!” th-cam.com/video/J6gVYjQPl6c/w-d-xo.html
Yeah that "Unreliable Narrator" effect definitely kept me on my toes. Had moments where I was like "is this actually happening'
I loved this movie so much. I was expecting a cheesy fun October horror movie (which I enjoy) but was in shock at how much this movie went for it. It got dark. I actually appreciated the build up & time in between scares. Made the pay off feel more earned. And damn Sosie Bacon was awesome. Hope we get a sequel with Gallner. One of my favorites this year.
I was pleasantly pleased w how dark it got!
That scene where she was stabbing the patient and he was laughing and Kal Penn started peeling off his face was gnarly as hell 😂
@@Rico401Prov I don’t know what this says about me but I was grinning with joy that the movie took it to that level during that scene. Haha. Major props to the movie!
I don't like people who smile at me in real life so watching a horror film based on smiling is out of my comfort zone. Still, going to be brave and do it!
It's gonna get ya! lol I guess that's the idea though!
A friendly smile should be harmless tho. Bit not a creepy smile lol
@@lessismore8533 Just don't want people to get any ideas from this film lol😁
👍😁🔪
Out of all things that could bother a person, it's SMILES for you?..
Thinking it about it now, you're right, I can't even imagine how traumatized you must be when someone does nothing but give you a gesture of friendliness. Truly horrifying. Idk what I'd do in such a scenario. How dare people try to be friendly through the least provocative method of expression known to humanity!
People have lost their fucking minds these days if they think they can just go up to others and SMILE!
This movie made my anxiety so high.. Like i loved this movie but holy shit i never been so scared in a theater! I seriously wanted to cry 🤣👏 Well done to the writers and directors!!!
One thing I liked a lot about the movie is that the music somehow made sure you are anxious/on edge that the entity is around, even tho it wasn’t, it not only did that but it made you feel in a way feeling almost the exact type of anxiety and/or paranoia Rose was feeling 90% of the time in the movie. And when it is shown, the music goes berserk. The end credits music made me want to fucking leave the theater room quick, I haven’t felt actual fear from horror movie soundtrack since hearing Halloween (1978) soundtrack played for the first time when I was like 5 years old.
i watch a lot of horror movies, i would call myself desensitized to scary things, however, this movie scared the shit out of me, i love this movie so much, i saw it with my girlfriend, and she almost started crying, wanted to leave but didn’t want to leave alone, ended up watching the rest of the movie, because she was so interested in the story and characters
Pretty desensitized myself and went to the movie solo just now, I’ve never felt more unnerved leaving the theatre. Walked out the wrong back door leaving theatre to dark, empty parking lot and almost shit myself. Drive home was suspect as well. I’m a grown ass, burly male and this film had me shook
@@UpperDeckerCards I agree, I felt very nervous on my way home 😅
Bro my girlfriend DID cry during this lol
She legit said “you’re not allowed to own a copy of that in our house” lol
yea my friend who never really watches scary movies was so distant and quiet after
I had to watch nature documentaries afterwards to calm down...
I watched it last weekend. It was good. The face cut scene was tough to watch. I agree the dead cat scene was intense. It was one of the scarier movies I've seen recently.
It was solid. The monster reveal was funky though. The tall man/women thing in lady's panties. I almost laughed. Very scary other than that.
@@kiaadams104 that big scary titty lady is also in IT: Chapter 2 and Barbarian also 😂💯
@@kiaadams104 i laughed too 😂 was trying to figure out where I’ve seen that monsters “face” before. It was weird
I’m pretty sure Bully killed the after he killed all the Smiles lol th-cam.com/video/7XE6QA2mJz4/w-d-xo.html
The whole walk and imagery from the tall creature at the end kinda reminded me of the crooked man from the conjuring 2
When the kid was opening his present, right away I thought, "Oh shit! The cat's in there....."
Mike! First & foremost, that interview earlier was awesome! I always love getting new insight into previous movies! Secondly, “Smile” was awesome! There were moments where I was genuinely creeped out & scared watching this film. I wouldn’t necessarily put it in my top 10 films of the year per say, but I still enjoyed every second of it. Have a great rest of your day, my friend!
I think it may have allllmost cracked mine as well. And thank you!
This movie was great. It had a far more deep message than I expected. You're going to have to learn to live with your trauma. And do your best not to transfer it to others.
Great film, but I hated the ending. If they left it as a mental illness or largely unseen evil, it would be one of the scariest movies ever made. When you throw in a rediculous looking demon that rips it’s face off and climbs into your mouth, it takes away from the realism that could really make this movie more terrifying.
Im surprised you didnt mention the scene with the psychiatrist at the house and then it turns out to be the entity. That was one of the best scenes in my opinion. I felt they should have done more with her losing track of time. I called out the cat being in the goft box, but i wish they would have done more with it. Like if she accidentally killing her fiance without knowing it until the end. Would have made a bigger twist. Like if she killed the psychologist/entity with a knife but turned out to be her fiance. I would have preferred that. I liked it but felt it missed opportunities like having peoplein the background showing it creeping closer to her like IT Follows. Would have made it better. I liked the ending with what it did and would like to see a sequel with him in it.
I love the part where she’s back in buddy’s apartment it was like a fake ending really cool 100% makes the movie better
That was great
It was predictable tbh
Definitely predictable ending but still dark as f.
@@3brenm true but the movie got me feeling like I was watching truth or dare
The score for this movie was outstanding!
I agree! It's the first thing I said to my girlfriend as we were leaving the theater. Whoever was in charge of it should get some sort of award.
I agree. Everyone hates on jump scares but these were done well imo. I didn't feel like they were cheap at all. A lot was done right in this movie
“Outstanding!” “Yeah great!” th-cam.com/video/7XE6QA2mJz4/w-d-xo.html
Why they gotta do my boy mustache (the cat) like thatttt 🤣
lmao damn cats always dying in movies
RIP to Mustache 😂💯
You sir are hilarious! I’m the cowardice girl that likes to know spoilers before watching horror movies and now you have me very excited to watch it with my friends cuz there is NO WAY I’m watching this by myself. Thanks for a great video!
Just watched it. I’m a big horror fan and I’m not scared at all by people being killed. This scared me a lot. Everything that creeps me out is in this film.
My problem with this movie is that by depicting her attempt to let go of her trauma and defeat her metaphorical demons as failing and doing absolutely nothing, the movies message becomes "if you have trauma and demons haunting you, there's nothing you can do about it and you can't control it" which is untrue
Yer but that was the idea. It was meant to be really damn dark. They gave us the false sense of security that by battling her demons she had overcome it and then...boom.
If the ending was ment to be shitty it doesn't make it better. As for the message of the movie it feels like they had to cop out with the fake twist. The fact that the ending with Joel was not the ending feels like a fake deep cop out.
@@polarman1747 i mean it's horror, it's not meant to have a happy ending really.
High schoolers wouldn’t shut the hell up during this one.. on a Friday night. So you were right on that one!
Nailed it. Sorry though, lol. The worst.
This was the scariest move I've ever seen. I feel traumatized in a sense. The jumpscares were done perfectly and the tension was so high, through the roof. People were leaving the theater by the groups. I want to see it again forsure in theaters. I've never been so scared by a movie before
As soon as I saw the cat on the screen, I immediately checked online to see if the cat dies (on screen animal deaths is something I don't do). It said that while the death is off-screen, its body is shown, then said the exact part of the film, so I knew when to look away. 😅 All the human death a mutilations? Okie dokie! Show me more! But an animal? Nooooooo, thank you!
Also, I loved seeing Kyle Gallner back on the big screen. I love him so much. 😭
Saw it last night. It’s been a long time since a horror movie had me dreading the next jump scare, which were really well done. Yeah, there were some lulling moments, but it’s what helped set up the next jump scare. Movie was just a little long and there’s things they could have cut.
I thought the tall creature looked like a giant version of Zelda from Pet Sematary. 🤣
the one thing I will challenge is that the fiancé wasn't really a douchebag I think, I understand that like you should stick up for your partner and such but if my to-be spouse starts that crazy shit that she was doing such as the hallucinations/delusions and screaming outbursts from something she saw and the fact that she wasn't entirely in control of her body (which is why the cat died and was presented) I would be not only trying to seek help for her but I would fucking scared for my life especially since he was in his most vulnerable state sleeping in her house.
so overall I definitely understood why he was reacting to her dilemmas in the movie and never really painted him as a bad guy.
I definitely don't think he was a douche for trying to seek help for her but you could tell he was far more concerned for himself than her. He was ready to run the fuck away as far as possible, lol
@@WeWatchedAMovie lmao yea I could see that, like his "perfect life" with her was quickly becoming reality from the monster she was dealing with and so he's like yea I don't wanna be with "all that" that she's bringing to the table.
I have to disagree with the aspect of the CGI. In my opinion it wasn't well done at all. I won't blame the department but rather the budget and time limitations. The face that was ripped off was very visibly CG and unrealistic as well. For example, the guy still had facial expressions but he just got rid of his facial muscles. It didn't bleed enough for a face being removed etc. I'm not saying that to shit on the crew but I think less would be more for sure and rather practical than limited CG.
As a die hard horror fan, I loved Smile. By far one of my favorite movies of 2022
I really liked this movie however I have one major critique: It should have ended with her watching the house burn. I think this movie would have been an amazing message on mental issues, especially PTSD, if she walks out conquering the monster. This movie had such a good message of how mental illness can affect the mind and see her overcome it would have been really good to see. It will never go away but it can be conquered and that’s a good message. But no, they fake us out and then ultimately kill her for this curse to continue to Joel. Just another typical horror ending that felt unsatisfactory to me while the rest of the film was so good.
Nah f her. Not everything can be cured. Not all mental illness can be overcome
Yah agree
bro that sweater in the background fucken kills me every time! 🤣
I went to go see this movie expecting it to be cheesy and your typical fright movie. But as someone who is terrified of the dark, this movie scared the daylights out of me. I never get scared of movies but this one really got me. 😅
Movies like this don’t usually make me uncomfortable but this one did but I loved it
For I play a lot of horror games and seen a fair share of horror movies. This movie was the scariest thing I saw in a LONG time! The movie did great body horror, excellent well timed jump scares and they have the scares linger instead of doing frequent over the top jump scares. It is definitely a watch.
Pretty obvious it was moustache in the box imo
Ok, adding another reviewer to my usual list 👌🏾 Great review, wild manic energy. Just my vibe. Keep ‘em comin 👍🏾😎
Thank you my dude!
You said at the end Kal Penn watched her burn but it was actually her cop friend, Kyle Gallner. You know that guy from haunting in Connecticut who I totally didn't recognize 😂
My eyes were watering Because of the cat death scene I saw it coming But like nooo not moustache😭🤚🏻
Are you gonna watch the terrifier 2 this Thursday?
Hearing you say there’s a lot of unnecessary scenes is not right. You just need more time to contemplate about why they were there. Like that last scene with Joel. The reason why that scene was there was clearly to let you understand why she couldn’t trust him when she saw him walk up to her and why she ran back into the house into her death. It’s because she couldn’t let her walls down with him. She couldnt let go of the thought that she would be rejected if she did that. It literally scared her to death. That’s one of the most necessary scenes if you think about it. Because it explains why she died and how she could have saved herself, which was by trusting someone to help you. Though who that someone should be is an open ended question. In my opinion the best person for her was Joel back before she left him after getting scared of letting her guard down.
I wouldn’t have known this if it wasn’t for that scene that gave us that backstory.
Once again coming through with the unbiased review💪
I appreciate that my friend
My man here called me out on that anxiety thing 😅
I got the same perspective about this movie, you are on point.. when the boy was taking his time to pull the present out the box, I was thinking about that movie Seven, what's in the box scene😂😂😂
I agree. I:55 for that ending? Cut it in half and I would recommend it. But the drone shots, odd humor and constant hallucinations kinda ruins the pacing and impact of the ending.
Didn't care for the ending, I think things could've done better but from the start to right before the end I really liked it.
The end was one of the darkest things I've watched in a while. It's like a darker version of 'it follows'
This movie was horror movie of the year so far for me. acting,pacing,score we’re all amazing imo genuine scares and an eerie vibe the entire film. It’s as if Hereditary and It follows bad a baby. Winner for me, can’t stop thinking about it.
Over Barbarian?
@@christianmoreno1181 Yes, absolutely. I enjoyed Barbarian, but found Smile to be much more effective.
2 hrs found a bit too long. Also I don’t like that Smile took from many other films. My fav films have about 1 inspiration but smile has the longest list I’ve seen and I’m only annoyed because it’s unfair smile gets all the credit for it. It ripped a scare from a film called “Terrifying”. This is coming from another TH-camr who reviewed the film. To me using past things for your own success is like getting an easy A. But I praise the mental health aspect. I’d like to see what Parker does with the sequel
I loved this movie. I thought it was great. Very scary. Great jump scares, but I don’t think I could compare it to hereditary. I didn’t find hereditary scary at all. Like not even the slightest.
Dr. Rose Cotter is a therapist whose patient Laura Weaver dies by her own hand after claiming to have been haunted by an evil entity that smiles at its victims before possessing them to commit suicide. The entity kills Rose's cat and its presence causes Rose to appear insane to her fiance, sister, and her boss.
Rose gets help from her detective ex Joel, who learns about the link between the entity and others who committed suicide after they witnessed suicides days before. One man, Robert Talley, survived because he killed someone, as that is the only way to prevent the entity from taking its victim. Rose contemplates killing one of her more disturbed patients, but she knows she can't. She drives to her childhood home to try and isolate herself so the entity will not pass onto anybody else. Although Rose thinks she has killed the entity, it tricks her and ends up possessing her to kill herself in front of Joel, meaning he will now suffer the curse
To add to your "Friday night popcorn" saying... Sunday night snooze... SOMEONE WAS FLIPPING SNORING DURING THIS MOVIE TODAY!!!!!
That goodbye horses was brilliant 🤣🤣🤣
I’ve watched countless horror movies and yeah they scare me but oh my god. Smile is the only movie I’ve had to peak through my hands to watch and remind myself it’s just a movie. For me smile is right up there with the scariest movie I’ve ever seen
Dude I had the same reaction when I saw that crazy creature 😂
lmao shit was nuts!
why did mustache have to die tho :(
haha I appreciate the Jingle All The Way reference Mike
PUT THAT COOKIE DOWN!
@@WeWatchedAMovie 😂😂 this is the content I love
It's a really good movie and it's deserves a sequel or a prequel. The part when rose is talking to her therapist until she answers the phone its was her therapist on the phone I find that spooky asf very well done.
The bully called the fake one a bitch lol th-cam.com/video/J6gVYjQPl6c/w-d-xo.html
Someone taught you to fear and respect that escalator!
Edit: that new song sounds like early Brand New and Blink 182 had a baby. I dig it.
I'll take that compliment as the highest order. Of compliment.
@@WeWatchedAMovie as well you should!
So I have a theory. The sequel (which will come for sure) will be a sequel that looks into the past - a pre-sequel. Joel, the detective, has witnessed a suicide so he'd be next. But he's been looking into this case and has found evidence of previous incidents. He has to get to the bottom of this so he'll have to dig deeper into the PAST for the origins of this entity.
We need that terrifier 2 review! Honestly one of the greatest slashers of all time. Art went from like top 8 to top 4 for me. Jason, Michael, Chucky, Art, Freddy. Thats my list 🤣
Loved the interview btw. Really proud of ya.
I would have liked this film more if I hadn’t seen “Barbarian” a week before, which I thought was a much more effective and memorable film.
The boyfriend was shit because she knew it could never get too deep. She surely never expected to need actual consoling and care in such an extreme way as this, so the whole reason she was with him was because it was entirely surface level.
She pushed Joel away because she felt real love and that terrified her because of how much self loathing and blame she carried for what happened (what she let happen) to her mom, so when she's chastising him for being fairweather and bailing as soon as it gets a little rough and Trevor is like "so what are we even doing this for?", the answer is "because until this happened I was ecstatic to have someone who I could never actually get close to".
I was shocked when I recognised the actress from the start; she was in Aussie soap Neighbours in her youth. Good to see she STILL horrendously over-acts 15 years later! lol
lmao
Movie is like JuOn, Ringu, Truth or Dare (because the smile), and It Follows. You can't stop it unless one person can kill themselves without no one present and probably stop the curse. Once you're curse it follows you and it's like a virus like JuOn when you kill yourself, the curse attached to the person who witness the suicide.
Exactly! The slogan for smile is just like the Ring slogan “first you watch it then you die” Back when the Ring and Grudge came out those plots were new(er) I mean Ringu is taken from the early 90s Ring books
Can’t wait to watch this !!! 🍿🎥🤯
I liked it, but the upside down scenes where eh. The cgi fire was noticable, the demon at the end looked like gollum/ring girls long lost baby
haha I think that whole scene must be a personal taste scene bc it freaked me out
How the heck does it look like the ring? Lol
I could cut 30 minutes from any movie ever.
85% of em for sur elol
movie was so predictable, and the main character was kinda stupid, she knew the entity spreads like a chain via suicide and needed some more time to realize she had to be alone to not spread it. to me it was clear pretty early that she probably just had to kill herself while being alone to stop the chain. but i also knew they bring the cop in at the end so i knew it will continue on to him. kinda weird story it follows did it better imo
Yah I think smile is overhyped cus it gets all the credit from those other films it took from
I feel sorry for this generation not knowing the joy and adventure of going to the video store
Ikr. It’s like the library for movies
I’m a HUGE Ring fan so I’m sure I’d like this film
I think so!
interesting... hey i just got news of a femme Chucky ex machina movie called M3GAN coming jan 2023, it's dumb haha but you gotta react to the trailer!!
I feel ya with them escalators, Mike.
I liked it but I felt the ending was lazy writing.
Scared the hell out of me but I felt bad for the doctor 😢 I went through a lot of trauma so I sympathize with her.
I really loved this movie and plan on seeing it again in theaters! Would highly recommend giving it a watch for anyone on the fence.
Lol don’t know why I had to share but yeah also you funny AF
Smile was a great watch and theater experience!🍿
Totes agree!
Damn crazy impressively tense time
Went in having seen smile and was completely fine. Went in having not seen Barbarian and have no clue what it was and got spoiled about the creature.
Not mad or anything I just thought it was funny.
I wonder what his scariest movie is. Smile is genuinely the only movie I’ve been terrified while watching
Then don't watch "Brainscan"
Smile is getting a bit too much credit because it took certain scares from other films. For example “Terrifying “
Dude honestly, I don’t even care that it kinda went beat for beat of The Ring. This was honestly the scariest movie I’ve seen in years, and I watch a horror movie per night on average
I love the portrayal of psychosis in the movie. Done extremely well.
I had a family of chatterboxes in my showing and it kept pissing me off. And then an hour in, a family comes in! Who the fuck lets people into a movie that late?! Who does that?!
Great film, score, I agree with you on the shot composition, too.
But my enjoyment of the film was muted by the shitheads in my showing.
I want to see Halloween Ends in 4DX but what’s the point if I have another shitty experience?
This movie was so funny I just watched it with my friends and we were dying of laughter. The part where the lady's neck twisted to watch through the car window was just so funny.
Wow you are so different. Do you want a cookie?
I’ve always been nervous about escalators but after the final destination movies I’ll take my chances with elevators or stairs
Saw it today it scared me
Escalators scare me too 😂
I think it was more of an 8, one of the best horror movies I’ve seen probably since hereditary.
Watching In the cinema the jump scares hit hard, but the creepiest part for me was towards the start when the main character is in her apartment and she sees somebody in the corner of the room in the darkness looking at her… holy fuck that gave me goosebumps haha
Reminded me of Hereditary actually in that moment lol
That part reminded me of Lights Out
I gotta be like Kobe scoring 81 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 yoooooooo that was too funny
Also, how come she didn't think to see an exorcist? If literal demons are real in that universe then that stuff must also be real
Sorry but the scene you have on the thumbnail made me laugh. It was a live action cartoon effect for me maybe becauae of the smile.😆
I wish it weren't in the trailer!
@@WeWatchedAMovie Exactly that would have been a shock surprise.
It was okay. Not bad but only good for one watch.
I found this movie very similar to drag me to hell
Also it follows
I HATE jump scares, the lowest form of horror. But the one from the thumbnail that happens in this movie I had to clap lol
They have some decent ones in this!
@@WeWatchedAMovie I need to watch it, thanks for the vid man! :)
Bingeing movies is addicting
Still knocked it out the park
LOVED the score too!
Yes!
My favorite movie in a looong time
That's awesome!
They should rename it “Knock” lol
just watched this yesterday it definitely has some good jump scares. that creature at the end was fucked 🤣
DUDE I know lol
It would’ve been funny if said you want anything I’m going to White Castle
