Line of Events
After witnessing a bizarre and traumatic incident involving a patient, the psychiatrist becomes increasingly convinced that she is being threatened by a strange entity. A few days before the September 30, 2022 release, the film’s cast showed up at various baseball games, sitting behind home plate, motionless and smiling as they stared into the camera, motionless despite the understandable concern of fans in the audience, all while wearing Smile shirts. At about the 31-minute mark, Rose breaks a glass when her alarm goes off.
Rose Cotter: What are you?
When the glass is shown at her feet, she is wearing socks. A few seconds later, she is checking the door with lace-up shoes. Based on what happens later at a party, there are several continuity issues that may not be “errors”; but may actually be deliberate in order to show “breaks” in Rose’s consciousness/reason.
Why do you do this to me?
The Monstrosity: Because your mind is so inviting. The opening and closing logos for Paramount have a curved line in the shape of a smile at the base of the mountain. Featured in Chris Stuckmann Movie Reviews: Smile (2022).
The plot was unique, the direction very cool
Lollipop Written by Beverley Ross & Julius Dixon Performed by The Chordettes. I went into this movie with no prior expectations, not even after watching the teasers. All the actors did a great job of acting, especially the lead actress.
I look forward to seeing more of her work
There were a decent number of solid scares throughout the movie, and I’m not one to get scared easily. The movie also had a very overbearing feel from the beginning, which greatly enhanced the experience of watching it. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised by this movie and consider it one of the best horror movies I’ve watched this year!
