"🌟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. "

"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"

"“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."

"The screams in the theatre were deafening lol pretty good, quite a few funny scenes and too many jump scares but a good movie overall "

"🌟4.5/5🌟 Okay I was no expecting this movie to be this good I’m still in shock. This movie was such a good horror/physiological thriller. It had great jump scares and the moments leading up to them I was on the edge of my seat. The sound track and music choices were phenomenal rlly made those jump scares worth it. The gore and designs were crazy disturbing. There were so many moments where you think somethings happening but it doesn’t and it’s just insane. The only reason why it’s not a 5 star is because of the ending. It was still good just a little disappointing I kind of saw it coming. The whole premise of this movie is basically the Truth Or Dare movie but much better and had way more horror aspects in it. Definitely going to be thinking of this movie for awhile. Also, the main actress in this film was incredible. She had me hooked to this movie and made the movie so much more enjoyable. The perfect fall watch!"

"So many jump scares I nearly had a heart attack but it’s not actually scary. Fun movie ! I liked the concept better than I expected reminded me of final destination but with murder instead of accidents "

"It leaned a little to hard on the music to do the heavy lifting on the scares. It never even tried to hide the horror moments."

"YO this had me jumping and on edge. Sosie Bacon’s incredible performance elevates this film to another level. Well photographed, cool minimal sets, and one insane shot in the last act I won’t soon forget."

"one of those horror movies that you know will be predictable, but it's really all up to the acting, cinematography, suspense, etc. which i think were all done pretty well. glad i watched this in a packed theater."
