Smile

About This Movie

So, 'Smile' from 2018, it’s one of those indie horror flicks. The atmosphere is pretty unsettling, that creeping dread permeates the whole thing. Lisa, the main character, she's dealing with some intense daydreams that take a violent turn. It's all about the psychological aspect, you know? The pacing is a bit odd, but it kind of works, building tension slowly. The practical effects, when they show up, are quite raw and gritty, which adds to the realism. The performances, especially from the lead, really draw you in. It’s not your typical jump-scare fest, more of a slow burn that plays with your head. I think that’s what makes it stand out in the crowded genre, really.
