This movie reminds me of movie back in the 90’s called “Fallen” with Denzel Washington and John Goodman. Basically a demon would jump into peoples bodies and would terrorize them.
I love that movie.
"Time is on my side, yes it is..."
Yeah, Fallen is awesome. One of my favorite Denzel Washington movies🤘
Gotta say, I much prefer Fallen to Smile, Fallen is kinda a low key classic imo. Smile is fun, but …. it’s a massive pet peeve when people try to convince people they’re not nuts, while acting nuts, and aggressive, then seem surprised when people don’t believe them, and that seemed to happen quite a bit in The Smile. If the main character wasn’t a medical professional in a psych ward, I’d be more sympathetic, but she’d know better than most.
Seems like within the movie’s rules, killing yourself is your best, (maybe only) bet of stopping the thing.
@@RustinChole
As I recall, "Fallen" ended with that... except, unknown to the protagonist, the demon could also jump to *animals,* so it was able to continue the cycle.
And with this one, like Frictional Games' "Penumbra: Black Plague", we know that the entity can alter your perception of reality - so who's to say it couldn't show someone their committing suicide while alone as a trick?
If I'd watch it at the cinema, I'd literally sh.t my pants...
That demon face rip at the end is one of the scariest things I’ve seen in a very long time, they gave me so many willies
It didn’t scare me so much as really gross me out, but yeah, horrifying.
I don’t often cover my eyes when I watch scary movies but that scene…it got me.
I concur with Mrs. Movies on the ending and the mental health angle. Good call 👍
I think I've figured out current day horror, though. Go ahead and give me the same money from the studio...I'll just put you in a quiet, boring room for 2 hours and yell a few random times 😂
I actually loved that they went with the super bleak, depressing ending.
Usually with horror movies, most of them have the "happy ending" where the main protagonist finally overcomes the evil or rises to the occasion to become victorious in some sort of way.
In this movie, I fully was expecting the ending where she did overcome her own trauma and lit the demon on fire and then she broke the curse or whatever and the credits roll when she is safe and sound. However, that definitely did not happen and left the theater quite grief struck.
I had sort of the same feeling (not as intense) after watching Speak No Evil (if you know you know). For me, there is definitely a new sense of feeling from watching certain horror movies nowadays (especially from Ari Aster) where being scared or frightened is actually the least of problems. The feeling of grief is such a far scarier thing for me because it hits on a different level. I can't say that I enjoy it, but I suppose that is what a horror movie is supposed to do, make you uncomfortable. And for that I can respect it.
Same here. The ending worked because the writers didn't go for the cliche "monster defeated by the protagonist" happy ending. It was a hopeless scenario from the beginning. When I they showed her "defeat" the entity, I was like here goes another unexplained copout happy ending, but thankfully the writers didn't go that direction.
The same, that is how it should be. Granted she only had one other option and the trauma demon is not going to let you kill yourself.
NGL Rose was asking for it Joel could help her out a whole lot but she didn’t tell him the whole story and she couldn’t just stay with Joel
Joel was friendly with her and he was really nice and Joel was the only one who believed her
Have you even watched horror movies the last 10 years? The bad guy winning is an overused trend
This film definitely surprised me, I had a feeling it was gonna be dumb but I ended up getting so creeped out
I think the head dropping scene would have made me lose it if I hadn’t have seen it in a trailer. Damn good scene
It wasn't half bad. I'd give it a 7 out of 10
Ditto! Funny thing is, the only time I jumped was when I watched the short movie this full length movie was based on.
I must of missed that bit in the trailer cos it def caught me off guard LOL
I did not watch the trailer so that scene shook me to the core 😭
@@lemonboi5833 Is this the one where she's in the car and it looks like the sister walks up then the monster's head comes into view?
I knew it was coming but didn't know how it would happen and yeah...that shook me a bit.
I'm not the the type to get scared from a movie but this movie really did a good job at scaring the absolute crap out of me. So much so that I lost about 2 nights of sleep
Same here. I grew up with horror like blood and gore and other psychological movies but this one fucked me up for a good few days after I saw it.
@Conner Uhrich - not so scary at all to be honest, but you may also watch some of the Japanese horror movies, and see the difference (from classic Ring, Dark Water, Marebito, Ju-on: The Grudge, Noroi: The Curse or even slightly different Suicide Club).
Same I almost can’t watch this reaction
It was just jump scares. Easy to dismiss
Damn I wish. Haven’t had a movie scare me that good since I was a little kid. Still hoping to find one eventually that’ll scare me again.
The thing is that the main character tried to deal with her trauma alone. Her "solution" to the curse was literally to isolate herself, which is not what people who suffer from a traumatic experience/mental illness should do. Every time someone mentionned the passing of her mother, she's changed subject. During the whole movie she's refusing to let her family/boyfriend/boss(friend)/psychiatrist help her. Imo in makes sense that the monster wins at the end.
This only works for the metaphor. She can’t get their help because they don’t believe the monster story.
@@j0j01192 I see too often people making scary things relatable to trauma. Then the monster disappears and its all deep or something
Yeah, but even with the first girl or even in the original short film where they are trying to seek help it seems that it wins regardless.
Had that nailed that home it would have worked.
The entity was so deep within her mind and her trauma was so strong and had been within her for years growing and the entity grew and became even stronger once she tried to face that trauma, the entity showed no matter what that trauma will always be there even if you think you've overcome it. I hate movies for example it were they are just like " yeah I don't believe in you anymore" yeah that's not how it works.... This was actually really good portrayal of mental illness and trauma
What 'Mrs. Movies' was saying at the end struck me as so , so true. I deal with mental illness and also had substance abuse/addiction issues for many years. Ive been in recovery (for both issues) and doing well for many years now but there is definitely a level where you cant escape, not only just the stigma of mental illness and of addiction but even more than the stigma, is being unable to escape the things you've done. mental illness can make you behave erratically and do things that can be hurtful to others. There are so many things ive done that i wish i could take back.. treating people you love poorly and neglecting relationships due to addiction or just being in a bad place mentally... even when you 'come back' from that, the people around you dont look at you the same... whether its broken trust or people just being wary and walking on eggshells around you, the way you behave when you are dealing with mental issues has long lasting effects. you can just say 'hey im better now so forget about all this shitty stuff i did because i wouldnt have done it if i wasnt dealing with _____" mental illness doesnt give you a carte blanc on bad behavior ... not that it should, we all have to be responsible for our actions of course, but it DOES make it especially difficult to deal with in the aftermath of a struggle... its hard enough to get your head on straight again and actually recover and maintain wellness when you have mental illness, and then at the same time the difficulty is compounded by having to pick up the peices of broken relationships or even if the relationship is able to mend ok you may still live with the shame and guilt of your past actions. (sometimes you feel even more guilty when people DO forgive you when you know they really shoulnt for all you've done)
Very well said. It can make it so much harder to make amends when people you care about sometimes keep reminding you of your past and the most shameful parts of it… but I’ve also been on the other end and it’s challenging to forget when someone really hurts you too, even if they’ve changed for the better. It gets better with time but things are never really the same a lot of the time, and that sucks.
I still kind of hate the ending. It makes you feel helpless like no matter how hard you try, you're doomed. I wish the ending was more realistic where life isn't all rosy but also not all darkness, it's always a mixture.
Great horror film, one of the best of the last few years. Rose being doomed was a good ending, imo. I thought her defeating the entity with fire would have been so cheesy and cliche. Also, the movie hinted at Rose’s fate in the early scene with her paranoid patient Carl. The irony of her reassuring him that he wasn’t going to die and it was all in his head, then she spent the whole movie trying to convince everyone what she was seeing was real and everyone was telling her it was only because of her trauma as a child.
This movie was definitely a surprise of how good it turned out to be. I expected it to be a really cheesy horror movie but no it was sm more than that and was actually pretty scary. Especially the ending truly horrifying.
yup i was surprised at how much i liked it too - always good right
@@jesterssketchbook cause I saw the smile and thought of truth or dare which is a cheesy horror movie. Then the obvious inspiration of it follows with a hint of the ring. Truly a movie I wasn’t expecting to be good but was actually a really damn good horror movie.
@@BrandonJames2016 you just described my reaction to finding it too hahahah
Lolwut. The last 30 minutes was incredibly lame and took the movie from a 7.5/10 to a 3/10.
@@martinmartins7703well that’s your opinion and if you don’t like horror movies that end on a tragic note well that’s just you.
I recently finished my PhD and saw this in theaters with my grad school friends and we all cracked up when the girl said, "I'm a PhD candidate I'm not some lunatic." Lmao I can attest we all become a bit crazy by the end
I love this movie so much and it is one of the rare ones that was able to scare me when seeing it in the theaters. The audio part is scary cause she is hearing it saying her name Rose and everytime she puts it up it gets louder and louder until finally the face shows up and yells her name. The part with the cat was expected but still kills me as specially because I have cats of my own at home. Glad you both decided to react to this movie and happy new year.
The cat part made me so sad 😢😢😢
@@anthony_castro710it was Fake cat right?
The woman who you-know-what herself in the session, was gagging beforehand, that was a breadcrumb to what was going to happen, she too was being entered...
Great reaction as usual. If you want another recent F'd up movie, check out Barbarian (2022). I watched both these movies on Halloween, bad move lol.
Why? Are you a child? Adults don't get scared from films.
The real villains in this movie: her fiancé and her sister.
Honestly. They were both pretty awful. Very self-centered.
If someone close to you started ranting about an entity that no else but her can see, would you act any differently?
@@kamenyake5708 I would try to help this person? they literally were mad at her so yes, I would act diffrently.
@@kamenyake5708 uMMMM YEAH... I would not abandon them or make them feel insane. I'd stay by there side and get them help
Mental Illness is a theme in the movie obviously but the movie itself is more about trauma. The demon forces people deal with traumatic experiences & then it torments them until their as mentally weak as possible & it causes them to become a traumatic experience for someone else. I was hoping Rose really did beat the demon in the end but the actual ending makes more sense
Yeah there was no hope for Rose whether she lived cause she would have lost everything and probably have her ex boyfriend with her.
Even if the Mrs doesnt like the ending, you guys gotta agree that side shot of the Trauma Demon climbing into her mouth was fucking sweet.
Imo the message of the movie was more about suppressing trauma and how you have to face it at early before it's too late ..
Anyway love your vids💜
When I saw this there were two girls in probably their early twenties sitting a seat over from me talking and laughing during the trailers. When the movie started they quieted down and were fucking terrified the whole time. The jump scare when she's at the computer listening to the audio caused them both to jump out of their seats and they held each other the entire rest of the film. Definitely surprised me how good this was since I really didn't think too much of it from the trailer but took a chance on it anyway.
I watched this movie with my cousin and when I tell you this movie had me holding my breath, covering my eyes, and screaming is an understatement. I haven't been that scared in a movie theater since I watched insidious or even hereditary. I actually had nightmares and I'm a 6'3 dude. Funny story, a coworker recently poked his head out of a door and was looking at me and smiling. And the scream I scrumpt was that of a teenage girl lmao! This movie terrifies me.
Try It Follows. It similar in tone, though a lot less jump scares. It is beautifully shot and the score is fantastic.
Love that movie.
I was pleasantly surprised with that one. Thought it was just gonna be a cheesy teen horror. Nope it was actually pretty darn good
Good suggestion! Similar vibes to this
Loved the reaction 😂, watch Insidious next I'm pretty sure you guys will enjoy it😏
speaking demonic personification of mental illness, you should really check out the babadook! i loved smile but the babadook pulls the metaphor off way better. it’s one of my favourite horror movies of all time
This actress is the perfect combination of her parents. She looks so familiar and then you figure out who her mom and dad are.
omg i didn't know she was the daughter of Kevin Bacon you're comment made me look i know that i knwo i see it more of her mom tho
I hope Barbarian comes next. That movie and Smile are considered the best Theatrically released horror movies of 2022.
Pearl was really good too although I'm not sure if it was in theaters.
Barbarian was alright... nothing special
Never thought “she’ll be smiling when she dies, though” could sound so dreadful 😂
Haha Mrs. Movie would've been a perfect cast for the movie. Very creepy smile but beautiful at the same time of course lol
I don't know anything about the movie. Saw a few trailers but didn't understand it. But willing to watch it with you guys
00:02 I usually don't "jump" at jump scares, but that one got me when I saw the movie.
For me the ending was ridiculous, the movie was chilling the whole way through and then they had to do a reveal and show a laughable scene with the monster/demon clambering into her mouth
Loved your interpretation. Being bipolar there might be a reason I latched on to this movie the way I did. You made it click for me thanks! Love your reactions!
honestly i cant remember last time i liked a "modern" horror this much. great noisy ambient "soundtrack" and soundwork in general. that being said, the first suicide is absolute highlight of the film. that one creeped the shit out of me.
Check out It Follows.
@@philliplewis6964 really?? A non horror for sure!!!!
It's a mix of The Ring and It Follows and probably another movie
I can't recall if it was mentioned with the one survivor, but it appears that as the days go on, the reality bending powers of the demon get stronger. By the day that Rose attempted to outwit it, it was futile as she couldn't trust her senses. In this sense, the movie is very similar to Oculus. Other films similar to this one include The Ring, It Follows, Hereditary, and Truth Or Dare (2018). It seems like the writer(s) just took the best parts of those films and crafted them into their own film.. and it really works here. It's a similar writing concept to A Classic Horror Story (2021) which basically took plot elements straight from classic horror films and positioned them so that they flowed as one continuous narrative and it worked well there, too.
I agréé 💯💯!!! Same thoughts!!!
I just got this for Christmas and I heard it's a pretty crazy horror film!
I'll be watching it tomorrow night!
Have fun. :D
The video photo gives me obsessive girlfriend meme vibes.
Saw this three times in the theater! People complain about the dominance of horror films at the box office, but I love it.
Me too 💜
They’re mostly low budget, fun movies with creative marketing and a core lesson to take from it - idk how people can be bothered by that. They can always go watch a bajillion dollar Marvel or Avatar movie instead lol
I get wanting to take the "stigma" ending, but even with losing everything and everyone in her life, it would've still relatively felt like a cop out ending. Far too easy. She could've just moved and started a new life, doing some other work. I think the ending they went with works very well. You can't escape it. It's not under your control. You're not the special one. I imagine that everyone before her went through all of what she did and met that same terrible fate (except the guy in prison who took the only other real option that still gets the stigmatized fate), thinking there was another solution. At the end of the day, she was dealing with an ancient evil that's seen it all.
I like the ending, I understand about making it about mental illness, but I think what is more creepy is we don't know if she imagined it (based on the Mother's condition passed down) or if it was a demon.
Any chance for STAR TREK reactions this year?
OH GOD NO... NO JJ ABRAHAMS!
"Madness is like gravity, all you need is a little push."
Joker??
@@diandriasmith889 everybody knows that
@@robogreek3157 huh?
HA! Ok - I love the commentary here. "I would believe you... buuuuut I wouldn't be with you!" That got an audible laugh for me 🤣
Literally got a Smile Ad while watching this reaction to it. A little too much Smiling for me, thanks!
See, I can see why you feel like they ruined it at THAT point of the film, but where they ruined it for me was revealing what the “entity” looks like. It was much scarier not knowing what exactly this thing was.
Loved your breakdown about the broader theme of the stigma attached to mental illness. I agree, this could have had a profound ending but then they couldn't have turned it into a money making franchise
The point of the ending is to continue the ambiguity of whether this entire thing is a metaphor for mental illness or something supernatural. You cannot really know whether what she saw at the end is real or if it is all in her head and that she simply inherited severe suicidal depression from her mother, this is really a large part of the horror aspect of the movie to begin with.
The ending is perfect as it is and clearly it's not to just make money as a lot of people, you included, didn't like the bleakness of it. The "money maker" ending would have been where she solves it by conquering her fear and defeating the trauma. I personally think that would have been cliché and disappointing. One of the most important elements of effective horror is hopelessness, which elevated Hereditary to greatness.
@Anon except the ending of Hereditary didn't exist solely as a set up for a sequel
Kyra Sedgwick and Kevin Bacon's daughter!
The car window scene got me so badly. I saw a jumpscare coming but the way it happened messed me up. Reminded me of this horror story I heard as a kid called the knocking girl.
Same on the car window
This is the 100% like It Follows.. expect much worse
When I first saw it wasn't that scary because it just people smiling at you but it super creepy 😁💯
I really don't know why she lied to the widow in that scene - she should have prefaced *everything* with "The girl he committed suicide in front of a week or so ago? She committed suicide in front of me in a *very* similar manner, and now I worry I may be next, as I suspect a pattern is at play. Could I get more information from you to either confirm or assuage my fears?"
Oh, for another great horror movie, watch "Lights Out" - you'll *love* the character dynamics in that one! The ending, though, was a focus group ending that didn't like the original one, which is also why it's also a fairly short movie.
You guys need to react to Barbarian (2022) 👍🏽
Wasn't scary to me but I liked it, good acting.
If she would have defeated the demon at the end. It would have defeated the point of the movie, the smile is upside down. Nothing wrong with a bad ending in horror
I completely disagree they didn't ruin the movie at all. Sometimes you can't help people with trauma unfortunately. Still a good story.
This is very similar to fallen,with Denzel Washington.
Loved this movie, watched it on new years eve and it really delivered.
My only slight criticism of it is it falls back on the old horror trope "person is seeing things but no one believes them" trope of western horror cinema.
Otherwise it is so well put together
Let me guess, she kills herself in the woods by herself and an animal witness it. And the film ends with that animal going toward a human person with a smile and camera cuts to the human's face as he or she witness the animal commit suicide off-screen before cutting to black and into the credits.
Edit: Damn it, I was half right.
the most awesome movie reaction channel you guys are great!!!!
Trauma is the metaphor that the horror it's built on but in the story this monster is very real. It's not even identified as a demon and if it is actually a demon then it's still physical in some way. I'm pretty sure the Thing thrives on murder just as much if not more. The man in prison is alive but he is living it 24 7.
The monster doesn't make people commit suicid it just kills their body in front of it's next target.
The scariest part is the only way to escape it appears to actually kill yourself, which it might just let you do because i doubt it would stop it and probably would just make it stronger like it might get from the murders.
Fun story, my friend told me that every time he sees the poster for the movie it reminds him of me XD good times
43:00 you wouldnt lose your job. plenty of ppl work between episodes. as clinicians, w top secret clearances etal. dont even worry about it. the poor suffer a lot. but yeah: not ideal. _JC
In a screwed up away, the entity is almost trying to help them. It corners a person with deep trauma and forces them to face it. Perhaps It is only after their moment of revelation about their past trauma that it enters them and forces them to kill themselves so that the entity's "gift" can be spread to another. That's why people kill themselves after varying amounts of time, some people attain enlightenment faster or slower than others. That is also why they smile.If you wish to deflect from your own trauma, you have the option to kill someone publicly to transfer the "gift" in a different way, but your life in society is over.
In terms of ways to beat the Entity, it is possessing the body of the person who is committing suicide. Perhaps the target could hold up a mirror just before the moment of the suicide so that the Entity sees the victim it is controlling commit suicide in the reflection of the mirror, and the curse would attach to the Entity itself, the spell backfiring on its caster.
This movie reminded me of The Ring and gave me nightmares for couple days. I almost didn’t watch this reaction because it’s that creepy.
3:45 they call that the pelosi. _JC
32:29 she Smile so weird 😆
Great reaction as always you guys! Now you should probably react to "The Dead Center" (2018) and "Fallen" (1998). Those seem like just as much an inspiration for this as "Ringu" or "It Follows" in their own way.
I would like to see they react to The sadness.
@@scluciano Yes!
They can make a sequel no matter the ending. The world could blow up at the end and we'll get a prequel.
I think the movie would have been better if it ended after the boyfriend said "I'll stay with you forever" as she slowly realizes the trauma of her mother and the demon would stay with her forever, and she would have to live never knowing if it would come back. Even the name of the movie "Smile" makes sense with her having to live a life where she has to force a smile to fit in and appear well to others.
Mrs. Movies opinion of this is basically similar to the one I have on Hereditary. I would have thought it better if all the fantastical elements in that were not real and it were just about a schizophrenic person.
17:00 no1, espec in the field, is going to be refused antipsychotics (or likely anything else) __JC
You are the first person I've heard that had a simulate takeaway. I think the movie sucked and completely sends a terrible message about mental health and trauma.
The movie is a meditation on mental illness and trauma. and how it can be dormant in someone and how it can pass from generation to generation. It seemed like it was setting itself up with the message that there were only 2 ways to deal with trauma. 1.) to pass it to someone else (killing someone random and spreading it before it kills you) or to be strong enough to confront trauma and stopping the cycle before it overtakes you or someone else.. but the ending really ruins it as her attempt to confront it fails, and it just passes on again (an effort for keeping a sequel open) which leaves a very depressing feeling that she should have just went in the woods ending her life before anyone could be witness.. which then leaves the viewer with the message that the only way to escape trauma and mental illness is through suicide. It's a terrible message from a movie that seemed to want to really dive into the world of mental illness
I cut the crap out of one of my fingers at the beginning of December and got blood all over a work shirt. Don’t throw that shirt out Oxy Clean it. Lol I got all the blood out of the work shirt.
I like the take from Mrs Movies and yes I think they ruined it, as someone who suffers from mental illness, people do stare and treat you like sh*t, it's rough, great reaction tho
I just watched LME's video on this. Perfect timing
I 100% agree they ruined the ending and I thought that when I watched the movie before you guys reacted. Great watch though buddy's as always
I think the ending is appropriate. It’s less about mental illness in general and more about trauma in particular, and how trauma perpetuates itself.
The ending wasn’t a studio mandate, that was the planned ending.
This movie was one I felt needed to be seen in theaters because in the theater, it really freaked me out. I've never cried from a movie before Smile.
Edit: I think the point of the movie is to say you need to deal with mental illness, but you can't just do it all in one big "hero" moment. It has to take time. To be clear, I agree that her living past it would have been much more interesting.
Edit Edit: In the advertising for this movie when she's listening to the audio, they changed the scene a bit to just have a face, so I was expecting just that in theaters, but when they switched it up to be a big ol jump scare, I got freaked out.
that trauma has to be confronted and not supressed has been my experience, the people I have known who confront the people who caused their trauma have actually gotten over it.
I knew one person who was going to a therapist who was telling them to not confront their trauma causer. They were getting worse and worse so I recommended confrontation. Now they are slowly pulling out of their downward spiral.
Obviously this is not always possible since the causer might be already dead, if the movie had ended in front of the burning house it would have been an amazing representation of those cases ending well.
Except in order to beat it you kill yourself with no one to witness the sacrifice . Which would be ONE BIG HERO MOMENT which goes against your paragraph about healing. 😂
Only found out after this movie came out that the main girl is Kevin Bacon's daughter 🤣🙈
*19:50** if youre REALLY sane;* you should be able to shout _that_ you are louder than that. _JC
I completely disagree, love the ending and glad that it wasn't a bullshit Hollywood happy ending.
if you want to watch a WTF movie you should watch "Barbarian".
this movie was decent. I was hoping it was going to be scarier than it was, the ending was a little flat for me. Watching you jump at the jump scares made this a more watchable movie.💜
I just saw that on Christmas, wasn't expecting it to go that way
@@ericlucas1 I know right, it was very original. It had me talking to the TV couple of jump-scares I called my mom up and told her she had to watch it and she loved it too
@@ahndreaw.6269 yeah I watched it by myself at like 11pm in the dark thinking it was one of those crazy boyfriend/girlfriend stalker type of movies, I mean I guess there was some stalking but not in the way I thought it was gonna be.
I don't mind seeing people being slaughtered in movies, but animals... NOPE lol
I usually hate modern horror movies since they lean intensely into cheesy jumpscares and not the actual dread and fear of the situation itself, but this isn't as bad as the other ones since it actually has uncanny and psychological horror.
Babadook Is a perfect example of an actual good "modern" horror movie
*35:50** if unwrapping a dead cat on your 7th bday counts as "trauma"; then, yeah, i guess we all have a little "trauma".* i dont think that counts. _happy bday to...me..._ _JC
Or even the movie from 1996 I think with John Goodman and Denzel Washington fallen
Happy New Year and here’s to another great year of content from Mr and Mrs Movies.
The ending lets the movie down it's simply too predictable and too cliche of a horror movie-type ending overall good, not a great movie. There will be a sequel but most likely it will be a prequel about when the demon first started or something like that because this movie made too much money not to do another.
I had no idea that A-Train was in this movie! Love the work that actor does on The Boys!
Oh that's who that was I was like I know him from somewhere that would have really bothered me until I figured it out and who knows how long that would of taken thanks👍
Best horror of 2022 by a long shot.
"Fair to say lots of PhD candidates are lunatic"
Scarecrow in Batman was a psychiatrist, Hannibal Lecture was one, heck Sigmund Frudd projected a lot of his weird fetishes on to his patients.
I’ve decided I’ve come around on “smile” (the movie) as depressing as the ending is, and definitely could be interpreted as “mental health bad and will always get you” it can also be interpreted as “the past always catches up with you, and it doesn’t care if you’ve changed” idk, i definitley understand why some people don’t vibe with it, but I think it just have different ways of being interpreted.
I really hate the fact that both of you had your eyes closed on the best jump scare SMH 😡
I love your videos but holy crap that thumbnail... Are you okay?
you know that you should watch the short film firts is with the same actress of the film
People who don't suffer mental illness, wouldn't understand this film.
34:20 🤣
I think the ending would've worked much better with just a few small changes:
1) She realizes she needs to be alone while still in the middle of the hospital (rather than in the parking lot) so that she has to run and dodge through a ton of people on her way out - with more and more of them showing the Smile face.
2) She needs to NOT call her cop ex, but instead he starts calling her (because of her speeding away from the hospital), and she keeps ignoring his calls. Crucially, she never TELLS him about needing to be alone at the end.
3) He shows up at the cabin at the end NOT because she told him where she was going, but because he was worried and had a friend in the police department track her cell phone location.
This way, neither she nor he come off as idiots who could've avoided this final fate. Instead, they both do what they think is right, but tragically it's not enough.
I didn't know Carla from Scrubs was in this movie!
I'm skipping this one , haven't seen it yet , oneday I shall return.
