"🌟2/5🌟— The acting by lead actress Sosie Bacon is the ONLY reason I’d MAYBE give this movie a higher score — but gotta admit the jump-scares were good — Otherwise, this movie dragged on waaaay too long & was disappointing, especially considering all the hype & marketing for this film. I’d rather have spent my time finishing watching COCAINE BEAR (which was so cheesy that I turned off the TV in the middle of watching)…. ▪️But in defense of BOTH of these movies (THE SMILE😀 and COCAINE BEAR 🤧🐻), they’re always much better when seen AT THE THEATER amongst a crowd of giddy moviegoers & friends while you all LOL in reaction to all the fun jump-scares & silly CGI. "

"Creepy & very disturbing. A great list addition for any fan of horror. The outro music is just as disturbing. "

"9/10 🌟 The reason why I took 1 point out is due to the unfinished ending but I’m sure that is because Smile Part 2 will be out eventually? Anyways, as a “pro” horror movie watcher, I did have a few jump-scares and it was honestly horrifying to watch this but I still loved it! So far, October 2022 Horror Movies are going good! #octoberhorrorfilms2022"

"Omg this movie is terrifying. The jump scares were so unexpected and I was on edge the entire film. I loved how the entity was symbolic of trauma and how trauma can drive one to depression and suicide. The lead actress was amazing and I genuinely enjoyed the writing. This movie was honestly an unexpected gem of 2022."

"Creepy and scary. It delivered what I expected from the movie. #horror "

"I'm afraid the only smile left after watching this movie is that it's finally over."

"Oh. My. GOD. This surpassed any expectations I may have had going in. In the theater (if you see it at home turn this mess all the way up and have zero distractions for optimal viewing lol) I was consistently jump scared, it was absolutely brutal and bloody as all hell, and it had that “no one believes me” stress that I love so much. Not to mention the ending….yall honestly it’s hard for me with a lot of horror films to get an ending that I’m satisfied with. THIS. SH*T. GOT. ME. I also have a hard time not knowing what is going to happen next….and I legit had no idea. STELLAR acting, just about as close to perfect as a newer scary movie can get (for me). My standards are high as a massive horror nerd, but I think it also allows me the room necessary to really love a project like this. It certainly won’t be for everyone, but if you are highly versed in horror, love gore, and also respond to jump scares….this may be for you!!!! SOOOOO MUCH FUN, HIGHLY RECCOMEND "

"DON’T WATCH THIS! Complete disappointment! I was thinking it was scary, but it was just jump scares and dark scenes other than that the ending was disturbing. Im upset I wanted a happy ending and didn’t get it. This just reminded me of “Truth or Dare” but that one was better. I was rooting for Joel he deserved better and now I’m hoping there is no sequel. "

"Nothing to say but I really didn't like it, which is sad bc the acting was so well done. Just didn't like it. "

"“You’re going to die. You’re going to die. You’re going to die.” This is a very simplistic but still effective horror film that feels like something from the past. Me personally I had an enjoyable experience. Yes it has a lot of jump scares but is expertly executed. I see others comparing it to “It Follows” (a film I love for many reasons) and “The Ring.” While I do see some similarities I still believe the totality of this is quite different. Especially the ending where it delivers in a different way. It also improves upon the best aspects of these already successful chillers. While I see that it borrows elements from earlier horror films it actually does them better in some instances. Since the beginning of horror cinema directors and screenwriters have successfully reinvented stories. If it wasn’t for John Carpenters “Halloween “ then we would have never gotten Wes Craven’s “Scream” and so on. While it may not be the best horror film this year I wouldn’t be mad if someone said it was."
