Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaA couple of days before the September 30, 2022 release, actors from the film showed up at various baseball games, sitting behind home plate dead still and smiling while staring into the camera, unmoving despite fans in the audience being understandably concerned, while wearing Smile shirts. Another soon appeared in the background with the crowd during the Today show.
- GoofsAt approximately 31 min in, Rose breaks a glass when her alarm goes off. When the glass is shown at her feet she is wearing socks. A few seconds later as she is checking the door she is wearing lace-up shoes. Based on what happens later at a party later, there are several continuity issues that may not be "mistakes" but may actually be deliberate in order to show "breaks" in Rose's consciousness/sanity.

Featured review
It's been a long time since I saw a horror movie this good.
This movie had me scared and on edge from start to finish. It's been a long time since I saw a horror movie this good.
The story is a bit cliche at some points, but it is well written and well made most of the time. The acting is great as well, which is not always a common thing when it comes to horror movies. It is very well directed and the atmosphere is really eerie.
The first girl to die in the movie probably had the most unpleasent smile I have seen in maybe my whole life. Especially when the therapist started seeing her in the darkness as an hallucination. That really gave me the chills. Then there were some smiles that was not very scary, like the patient Carl. The pacing of the movie was excellent. It got more and more creepy as the story progressed. The ending really etched into my brain, and I actually thought I was gonna have nightmares that night, which does not happen to me very often. The day after I saw this movie, a car passed me by, and the old man driving looked at me and smiled... The only thing I could think about was this movie.
This was Parker Finn's first feature film. I really hope he makes more films like this one. A good start on his writing/directing career. Well done!
