About 31 minutes in, Rose breaks a glass when her alarm goes off
Synopsis
After witnessing a bizarre, traumatic incident involving a patient, a psychiatrist becomes increasingly convinced that she is threatened by a strange entity. A few days before the release on September 30, 2022, the actors from the film showed up at various baseball games, standing. behind home plate, still and smiling as he looks into the camera, still, despite fans in the audience being concerned, while wearing Smile T-shirts. Another soon appeared in the background with the crowd during the Today show..
Rose Cotter: What are you?
When the glass is shown at her feet, she is wearing socks. Seconds later, as he checks the door, he’s wearing lace-up shoes. Based on what happens later at a party, there are several continuity issues that might not be “mistakes”; but it may actually be deliberate to show “pauses”; in Rose’s consciousness/sanity.. Why are you doing this to me?
Featured in Chris Stuckmann Film Reviews: Smile (2022)
The monstrosity: Because your mind is so inviting.. Paramount’s opening and closing logos have a curved line in the shape of a smile at the base of the mountain. LollipopWritten by Beverley Ross & Julius Dixon Performed by The Chordettes. Lots of jump scares and gory scenes as expected.
It looks like he’s literally setting up a cheesy sequel to come down the road
A bit of original horror and a lot of ‘been there, done that’; which is fun for a horror junkie like me. BUT. Poor conclusion. You’ll see what I mean if you were looking for a more meaningful conclusion to what could have been a great ending, as this story builds and directs the viewer to what reason might bring.
Rent this one
Not worth a big price at the box office. Or wait until it hits one of the millions of streaming services these days. The actors were ok. Kal Penn is the most famous, so that tells you how big these names are.
