So I just saw Smile and it was pretty good. I was expecting something more like Blumhouse where it’s just scary things are happening because I say so. It was more like Blumhouse and A24 had a child. It definitely had a deeper message but because of its insistence on being a mainstream horror film it failed to commit. The jump scares were good and it was a tense movie through out. I thought the main actress and the patient did a great job…everyone else kinda sucked though.
My two biggest gripes were
My suspension of disbelief was broken 10 minutes in when an emergency psychiatry ward had a fricking ceramic vase. Predictably the shards it produced was used by someone to immediately kill themselves. There was no reason for this scene to take place in the hospital so just lazy writing.
the ending really cheapened it. Spoilers btw but Rose kills herself and passes on the curse after finally giving in to the monster. If I was allowed to write the ending I would have Rose leave the house only to find out she had not killed the monster, only weakened it significantly and show that she’s still living with trauma and that it’s something you’re always fighting.
Overall it was pretty good but it needed to commit to its themes. Also I really hated the weird camera angles the director kept pulling.

I think I am somewhat objectively attractive. I am kinda chubby (the kind where I can sit in an airplane without bothering people) but I’m losing it. Also I like reptiles and amphibians.

You will never be fully vaccinated. You will never be on the correct formulation, you will never have the correct dose, you will never be on the correct manufacturer. You may have gotten a booster shot but all of that can change on a political whim and now you are a plague rat and crude mockery of nature's perfection. All the “validation” you get for your Fauci Ouchie on social media is two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your back people mock you and take bets on how soon you're going to die. Your employer has taken a million-dollar life insurance policy out on you and implores you to get one more booster. And even when you do, you will still never be fully vaccinated. Your parents are disgusted and ashamed of you, your “friends” laugh at your sickly appearance, your clammy pale greasy skin, and your coal black glassy meth addict looking vaccine eyes behind closed doors. Your parents will find you, heartbroken but relieved at the six-figure settlement they're offered in return for telling everyone you died of natural causes or covid-19. And that it was your fault because you were not fully vaccinated. They'll bury you with a headstone marked with your false cause of death, and even though you took the vaccine, and you took the booster shots, every passer-by for the rest of eternity will know that it was your fault for not being vaccinated. Your body will decay and go back to the dust, and all that will remain of your legacy is a skeleton that is unmistakably unvaccinated. This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no turning back.
