Genuinely traumatizing.

Sheer scary quality. Nothing like a great horror movie. Superb acting too.

Great idea for a plot line and the first 30/40 mins not bad , terribly under thought out ending that wrecked the movie could have been so much better

One of my recent favorite horror films, it has a new twist with tribute to modern scary plots and monsters. Shocking and scary, fun to watch.

I wish I had seen this movie in theaters. It was way better than I thought it would be.

I didn’t know what to expect from this, I had only seen the poster and knew nothing of the content. The setup of the story is excellent. What also struck me right from the start was that the cinematography was over-engineered, it looked robotic and too clean and there was an ugly vignette for much of the film. The acting is mostly excellent, sometimes a little too drama school from the younger cast members. I disagree with some of the casting, Judy Reyes feels like she should be in a comedy, Jessie T. Usher needs an injection of personality and Kal Penn’s role should have been given to anyone else - I can’t think of a worse miscast. Since I’m focussing on the negative then I’ll add that it feels heavily inspired by It Follows (2014). I didn’t like the demon voice from the therapist, her normal voice would have been creepier. There was no need for some of the shots to be upside down. Finally for the negatives I occasionally found it formulaic and predictable like after a shocking event cutting ahead in time and skipping the aftermath. Overall though most of this is easy to ignore and you get a consistently engaging, creepy and really quite shocking film with a really unsettling vibe. It’s very gory in a good way. Also it gets a bonus point for some great jump scares and eerie ambience. There are so many good set-pieces in this film.

Definitely creepy with some good jump scares. You really get to see the monster inside at the end! It would be interesting if they explored the origin of the evil, but definitely worth watching with the lights low.

'It Follows' a trend of surreal horror with a dreamlike feel. However, aside from good production value I honestly didn't enjoy the film. I thought the scariest part of the film was the one jumpscare I didn't see coming somewhere in the second quarter. The plot was an amalgam of 'The Ring' and 'It Follows' but was mostly entirely predictable with flimsy characters who I thought poorly fleshed out and rarely engaging. The attempt at dealing with mental health as a theme also felt very uncomfortable, and not in an atmospheric way that added to the film, but in a way that felt entirely disrespectful to the subject matter; used as a plot device to further a struggling story that ended exactly as you would expect. The use of 'And it was all a dream' not just once, but several times throughout the movie was cheap and not what I expected from a film that was reviewed so well. Also, the blatant attempt to set up a quick sequel film at the end was just disappointing. At least try to make a standalone film that doesn't clearly just want to pander to something topical half heartedly. Honestly, lads: do better. I would recommend as a hate watch, but realistically if you want something that deals with mental health well and in a horror genre, watch The Babadook and if you want something surreal and dreamlike that actually works, 'It Follows'. This belongs in a scrap heap.

Ni film sebenernya bagus ya dalam konsep cerita, Tapi dari cinematography kek kurang rapih banget

Bet you didn't notice the memorable horror film starring Sosie Bacon who is actually the daughter of Kevin Bacon. It's only for a very short period of time that we found out that Smile actually stars Kevin Bacon's daughter, and if that's not enough for you then feel free to comment on my review if you have or have not heard about it. I personally don't mind. But anyways, let's begin. Smile is the most anticipated horror film from this decade it managed to get the audience's expectations who wanted to p***ed their pants scared. Therapist Rose Cotter meets graduate student Laura Weaver, who explains that she recently witnessed her professor killing himself. She claims to be terrorized by an invisible Entity that only she can see that appears as various smiling people and has foretold her death. She begins screaming and choking, prompting Rose to call for help; Laura suddenly calms down and smiles uncannily, then fatally slits her own throat with the shape of a smile. The next day, Rose sees a patient named Carl, who yesterday mumbles about everybody including himself is going to die, who smiles in the same way and tells her that she is going to die. Rose calls for nurses to restrain Carl, only to realize Carl has been asleep the entire time. She now she begins to have the same entities that her previous patient had leaving her going mental and crazy. With many recent horror films that are graphic, this one had me on the edge. With many horror films I've seen in recent years, this one I liked but there's one thing that I'm disappointed about is the ending. I mean, yeah, you all know what's going on in it if you haven't or have seen it, is the ending I did not expect but aside from that, I'm quite disappointed with it, which leads up to the sequel which I haven't that came out last year. Before I heard about the sequel, I'm impressed with the ending but now after I heard about it, I will be sure to get over it. The sequel which I've heard had outdone the first Smile making it a much better film but I heard it's gonna be gory so looks like I'm gonna get into the gory experience on the sequel. There's something about one scene that me at my eye presence when the entity pretending to be a therapist and she gets her and looks at her dribbling. What am I even looking at? That is creepy but this is something that a xenomorph would do. With Smile, I personally liked horror aspects that can make you jump. I personally can do the same thing to my family mostly making a very creepy face because I'm a creepy guy. Hahaha! Get ready for a horrifying experience again and the sequel with a smile on your face. Cheese!

One of my instant favorite modern horrors. Great psychological thriller, not a slasher film. The story builds up suspense and isolation.

How can they make a film about someone mental health, mental illness isn't a joke I lost a lot a people form it. This film makes fun of people with split personality disorder which my cousin's have.

its a good movie but the end was like meh

This was a good movie a bit better than good. It had really good jump scares at times and it overall had a very interesting story. Loved the creepy smiles but the movie can be a little predictable at times. I wish we would've gotten a better ending. I give this movie a solid 3/5

So much better than Smile 2. Comparatively, I loved this movie.

I like the suspense, and the dark theme that comes along with it.

One of the best thriller/scary movies I've seen in a while. If you liked the ring I think you would enjoy this movie. It keeps you guessing what is really going on. The ending was great. It will make you feel like are you seriously ending it this way then bam. Really kept me intrueged the whole movie which is hard to say nowadays. Would recomend to everyone who like thrillers.

I just picked up the first Smile last month. I'm doing a SmileAThon tonight. My first time seeing it since it was in theaters. OMFG . On a scale of pooping my pants if the jump scares ummm a 20. So much more scarier than the second movie but the second movie does has some jumo scares. Parker Finn vision is awesome especially the score and camera angles. For me this is becoming one of my recent favorite horror series . 10/10 EPIC FANTASTIC horror movie that maybe no one thought it was going to be a scary / Scooby Doo jumping in Shaggy arms horror movie .

This was definitely worth a watch. I thought it was quite cleverly done and had just the right amount of suspense and uncomfortable foreboding. I kept hoping it was going to be a happy ending and dealing with her trauma may free her of the outcome and she could get back with her policeman hubby. Alas it was not to be,,,,,,,,,,,, I enjoyed it. The main character is a very good actress I think.
