If there is a song that tells the story of a singer asking their lover to smile, the Smile movie asks for the opposite. The thing is, if you are smiling, it's a sign that the situation is starting to get dangerous.
The Smile movie has a deceptive title. Even though the title sounds happy, the contents of the film actually make you frown, even scared. Smile is a horror film that really satisfies fans of horror movies. Because scene after scene successfully makes the heart beat fast.
Here's our take on the Smile movie with the tagline "Once you see it, it's too late".
Smile is a Horror Movie That You Shouldn't Miss
“After witnessing a strange incident involving a patient, Dr. Rose Cotter begins to experience terrifying events that she cannot explain. Rose has to face her troubled past, while she is also trying to survive and escape from a terrible new reality."
That's the synopsis of the Smile movie that has made us curious from the premise of the story. When we saw the whole film, we were presented with many shocking scenes, in addition to a suspenseful story.
Here, when a smile becomes a sign of danger. A smile can evoke terror, as explained in the tagline "Once you see it, it's too late".
The main character, namely Rose, must race against time to fight the smile that kills. The audience is invited by Rose to follow the story of her struggle to survive the terror of a smile. Of course, the audience hopes that the protagonist will succeed as a survivor at the end of the story. However, does it work?
The Smile movie went viral on social media because it was claimed by netizens as a horror film with an eerie storyline. You need to watch it by yourself whether the Smile movie is as scary as the netizens have been touting it or not, or can you still smile after watching it?
In other words, Smile is indeed full of smiles, and it's a shame to miss. However, after watching it, the meaning of a smile will have another meaning. A smile does not mean friendliness, but it can also be a symbol of death.
Smile Has a Simple Story, But the Terror is Real
Like horror movies in general, Smile has a simple story. In the movie, a smile becomes a symbol of terror. When someone came with a sinister smile similar to that of on the Smile poster, that's the end of history. Worse, other people who see that smile will be infected with the same "disease".
Rose is the next victim of this serial killer's smile terror. After seeing the previous victim's smile, Rose experienced hallucinations. Symptoms are also experienced by Laura, the patient who died in front of Rose's eyes. With only days to go, Rose found herself in danger of dying while flashing a final smile, just like her patients before her.
On her journey, Rose manages to solve the mystery that this smile terror has a pattern. Everyone who witnessed the previous victim will be the next victim. However, Rose found that there was one person who managed to break out of the pattern. Rose also went to the survivor to ask for a leaked answer key to the mystery.
From here, there seems to be a glimmer of hope that the main character can survive the invisible antagonist. She just has to outwit “the ghost” as shown by previous survivors.
We often encounter this pattern in horror films like the Final Destination series or the Netflix-exclusive series Stranger Things. However, Smile is still very scary because the execution of the horror scenes is undoubtedly scary.

Smile is Concluded with an Eerie Ending
The audience is invited to fight alongside the confused Rose in an attempt to survive. Rose did everything she could to survive the terror of the Smile ghost. However, this spirit that terrorized him invaded her mind. So Rose, including the audience, did not know which scene was real or just an illusion.
Rose's chaotic thoughts were successfully demonstrated in a scary visual form. Some are surprising because they are classified as jump scares.
After putting in all her efforts, Rose seemed to have found a bright spot for her problem. But, again, we won't know if what happens in this film is a real event in real life or just an image in Rose's complicated mind. That's why the Smile movie is classified as a psychological horror film, because what is attacked is not only the eyes with sadistic and scary appearances, but also the mind is invaded with psychological terror.
Smile closes with a scary ending. Moreover, we, as viewers, will realize that we are witnesses of the victims of the supernatural entity Smile.
