"Smile" (2022) generated a lot of repercussion since its release, becoming one of the most talked about films of the genre in its debut year. Although it was relatively successful at the box office, the film does not meet all the expectations of horror fans.
The script for "Smile" does not present any significant new features, appearing to be a recycling of several ideas from other films such as "The Ring" (2002) and "It Follows" (2014). The film does not bring innovations or new premises to the genre, but it manages to mask the lack of originality with good photography, moments of intense tension and concepts that permeate between the lines of the plot. However, with the arrival of the last act, depending on the viewer's interpretation, these concepts can convey negative messages related to suicide.
Although the film does not bring anything new to cinema screens, it stands out as a complete work. With more courage and improvements to the script, "Smile" could have demonstrated its full potential to the public.
