I stayed away from those other curse movie, so this movie felt fresh to me lol. I think this movie is pretty good and scary. It's a 9/10 because I took it serious the whole movie, I didn't like the beginning 10+ jumpscares, those were cheap. The ending felt like resident evil pretty darn cool I thought. The finale was predictable sadly. I don't think they had to end it like that.
I hated the movie. I’m dealing with my own trauma and doing therapy now, and the film just felt shallow and non-genuine. The depictions of trauma and how it haunts us were very shallow and the ending message was pretty messed up. If you think about it, the movie kind of said “if you have severe trauma, you’ll never escape from it and it will just ruin your life”. Dealing with trauma isn’t about trying to throw it away from your life and entirely forgetting it, it’s more about learning how to deal with it so it doesn’t interfere in your life anymore. A psychiatrist (like the protagonist) should know this. I think the film would’ve been a whole lot more interesting if it ended with her finding a way to deal with the monster, have it around without ever being able to hurt her and mess with her day again. I was actually hoping for this while watching, seeing her actually being possessed and k*lling herself in the end was pretty disappointing.
I loved everything except the ending. The detective knew everything and didn't think to shoot her before she killed herself. Even worse, that stupid psychiatrist refused to cooperate with anybody.
I stopped watching twice in the first 15 minutes because NO THERAPIST TALKS LIKE THIS!
The shot compositions and sound design alone set this movie apart.
Where is my mustache?
"Good"enough movie, not great and overlong for what it was
Smile stole it’s premise from “It Follows” really enjoyed the 1st half but it was to long and lost moment towards the end by repeating previous scenes over and over again instead of moving the story forward. The ending was good they just should’ve trimmed it down to an hour and 20mins
I haven’t watched many horror films but from the ones I’ve watched they usually don’t spook me. They tend to drag on or just be extremely violent with a barely interesting plot. Albeit I probably haven’t seen the better horror movies out there. This movie though was legitimately scary and kept me engaged throughout. Even the ending surprised me a bit.
Stupid ass movie is just full of ilussions, cheapest horror movie possible
