Smile (2022 Movie) - American psychological horror film now playing in theaters

"Smile," a new horror film, is currently showing in theaters. Normally, the word "smile" conjures up good feelings, but when terror is involved, it has the exact opposite effect. Having said that, what precisely happens in the movie Smile?

Based on his 2020 short film Laura Hasn't Slept, Smile is an American psychological horror film written and directed by Parker Finn.

Sosie Bacon plays a therapist in the movie who, after witnessing a patient commit an odd suicide, has a series of frightening and unsettling experiences that make her think what she is going through is otherworldly.

A psychiatrist named Dr. Rose Cotter assists patients in an institution. When a patient commits suicide in front of Rose during a visit, it touches people. The young girl screams at something Rose can't see, and as she holds a shard of pottery in her palm, a creepy smile appears on her face. The patient appears to have a deep smile on her face and neck based on the overlay of the covered body in the trailer. Dr. Rose Cotter begins having terrible experiences that she cannot explain after seeing a strange, horrific incident involving a patient.

The tragic tragedy sets off a chain reaction that bestows a curse on Rose, who starts seeing ominous-looking figures everywhere she turns. She notices strangely identical smiles to her patient's everywhere she goes. She is curious as to what is ailing the girl and now her. She is smiling as she passes another patient's room at her place of employment. He appears to be in a trance, and as she tries to awaken him, he begins chanting that she is going to die, seemingly indicating the destination of the journey.

This movie is not appropriate for children, folks. It is graded "R" for severe violence, gore, language, and disturbing situations. It lasts for almost one hour and 55 minutes.
