Smile (2022)
Directed by Parker Finn
4.1/5EXECUTIONER "ACE"115 minQuick Hit
Smile rips like a head-trip horror piece—slick, creepy, with zero interest in comforting you.
Full Take
Smile leans hard into psychological horror energy, and Parker Finn keeps the tone slick without letting the movie drift. The craft is sharp, the mood is nasty, and the pressure keeps building until the whole thing snaps. Messy in spots, still worth the ride.

Not perfect but had some solid moments.
I actually agree with this take. It’s not perfect but it definitely delivers in key moments.

There’s a lot to like here, but also a lot that holds it back from being great.
