Smile

entertaining but nothing original. some of the most overdone tropes in horror utilized in rapid succession all throughout the movie. the nepo baby lead actress is unmemorable and uninteresting. I will give them props for creating an interesting monster design for the main antagonist. that's about the only creative thing about the movie.

A first of its kind monster lore with a great story.

Very creepy, and also rather sad - the main character gets more and more isolated as the movie goes on as she continues to get terrorized. I would have preferred if the "Entity" was never quite clarified if it was a real thing, and certainly never seen it, but this is still quite an interesting movie.

Movie is ok, just ok. But why so so so so many f-bombs! Totally unnecessary.

I really wanted to like this movie. I'm giving it 2 stars bc the production is really good and the storyline could make a good horror movie but the jumpscares aren't that great. It's just a person smiling which makes the whole movie feel so unserious (there were even some parts where I laughed) which isn't what you want when you're watching a horror movie. Idea was great, needed better execution.

Disturbing, horrifying & absolutely vicious, SMILE is a haunting & at times all too real look at the importance of mental health. A must-see for horror fans & fans of dense films.

170/2025 Smile (2022) #IMDb : 6.5/10 #RottenTomatoes : 79% #KiduMovie : 75% If a horror movie sends chills down your spine right from the start, it’s off to a good start—Smile does just that. It leans heavily on old-school jump scares, and while they’re frequent, they don’t take away from the experience. The film holds its ground with well-crafted tension and atmosphere, making sure the scares have weight beyond just sudden jolts. What truly sets it apart, though, is its strong characters—something many horror films struggle with. Their depth keeps you invested, making the fear feel more personal rather than just spectacle. For a debut director, this was an impressive effort, showing a clear understanding of both horror fundamentals and emotional storytelling. #smile #horror #movie #monster #supernatural

Yeah...no. I don't really think this film was produced well. The story was boring almost putting me to sleep. Was not scary whatsoever (in my humble opinion). This film is highly predictable and therefore loses your attention. So no I didn't like this film.

After confirmation, this is my favorite horror movie. The various terrifying filming techniques make it second to none—no one dares claim first place over it. Compared to James Wan's Conjuring and Insidious supernatural universe, I think this one can hold its own, so I highly recommend it.
