That first girl who dies really worked THE HELL out of that part because she's 'only' the opening kill but she got to be ALL OVER the marketing for the film in the trailer and poster(s) so everyone saw her GO! TO! WORK! even if they were too scared to actually see the film. Very unironic "I'm a star!" energy. 😂
She's actually the actress who played the lead role in the short film that this movie is based off of, so it's doubly cool to see her get the opening part.
The director said he wanted us to feel like we were having an anxiety/panic attack with the character with the way he filmed it and utilized jump scared throughout
3:30 fun fact: apparently there was a time when mental health facilities painted their walls that shade of pink, because it was believed to have a calming effect.
The sound design in this movie was PERFECT and the jumpscares actually served a purpose most of the time. Instead of just making us jump, they also were used to put us in the main character's shoes. The disorientation and fear was palpable throughout this film. Altogether I think this movie was largely about trauma, and how we tend to bury it and pretend we're fine, to our own detriment. And that if you keep doing that, eventually you will cross a point of no return, and it will be too late. It's not enough to admit you need help, you also need to reach out and accept help, and sadly when she was finally ready to take that first step, it was too late.
I think the sound design, soundtrack and cinematography is great, but the script is kinda mediocre. Clearly the people who made the movie are good at what they do, but when the source material is only so-so, there's only so much you can do.
The scariest fact of this movie is that that monster with the faces at the end was 100% real. And the mouth bring pulled open was a dummy replica of her with an elastic jaw
Based on 2020 short film "Laura hasn't slept". The director and rose's college paitent. Are the original director and actress. I love your reactions!! And I agree with Cody this movie Freaked me out! Even simple things like phone ringing or alarm. Have a great week guys! Thank you!
41:07 - If you rewatch the scene with the first girl (Laura) at the beginning, you can guess when this happened to her, like when the entity enters her body too.
This movie looked really cheesy and bad from the trailers, but it turned out waaay scarier then I thought it would be. The music score in it is amazing, and really helps with that.
Yes, I felt the same way. I went in with low expectations because I hate jumpscares and CG creepy faces, but I feel like this movie used them really well. Not always perfect, but leagues better than most other horror films that follow the same formula.
actually the guy who keep telling her you're going to die wasn't saying it at all if you really pay attention he's asleep in his bed that's a hallucination
Smile and Sinister are the only movies I’ll give a pass on the jumpscares purely because of how creative they were/appropriate to the tone w/o compromising it’s story
Pink is meant to calm. I first heard about a football coach from my old university using it for the opposing team’s locker room. I noticed it in the movie Glass as well when the doctor was having a session with all three of the “superheroes.”
You mentioned that the score is close to The White Lotus, and yes, the music scorer for this movie is Cristobal Tapia de Veer. The guy who done TWL as well.
the sad thing about this movie, it really goes to show that the people that was supposed to be there and support her, wasnt. She needed them and they failed her.
I literally only found you two this week and I've been binge watching your channel for... an unhealthy amount of hours. Keep up the amazing reactions!! Haha
I was excited for this movie bc the trailer scared me and I love Kyle Gallner, but I did not expect this movie to make me need a therapy session! I didn’t expect the movie to basically tell me, “hey! You need to deal with your trauma now!”
As an artist, we were taught in our Color Theory classes that pastels have more of a calming, soothing effect on the psyche - especially Bubblegum Pink, which was, at one time, believed to calm psychotic episodes (I don't know if that's still the belief or not, this was 20 years ago). As for Red and Green, they're Complimentary colors on the Color Wheel, meaning they're directly opposed from one another on the Color Wheel, and of higher contrast. The same with Blue and Orange, Violet and Yellow, etc. Basically, when you put them together, they pop so violently that you can't help but look at them first when you put them beside one another.
Yes color psychology is a real thing, certain colors trigger the fusiform gyrus of the brain. Along with certain shades of colors can have different meanings and affects on behavior as well!!
I was not expecting Kumars actor to pop up AND get a Jumpscare scene. When we saw this opening weekend (full theater), his face peel scene made everyone gasp and scream! I had to cover my eyes a few times. I am so excited for part 2!
The final scene with the ‘monster’ was actually done somewhat practically. There was a dude in the costume, and some marionette parts that two dudes helped move, and the ‘Rose’ was a dummy.
listen. i didn’t watch any trailer for the movie, my therapist recommended it, and she recommended the right movie! i said i wanted something new that’d scare me, and I sure as hell was scared! i normally don’t do the jumpscare bananza kind of movies (which is why i’ve only seen the first conjuring and started the second) but i think this was a good movie (even though i was annoyed with some character choices throughout the movie)
I just want to say, I'm new to your channel. Your vids just popped up on my feed and let me tell y'all, I've have been binging your channel. I definitely subscribe already. You guys are awesome. And the fact that y'alls know Zzavid? Yassssssss❤
Was waiting to watch this vid until I saw the movie for myself finally. I had the same fears as Sergio going in but was pleasantly surprised. Love the vids from you two!
On "color psychology", I don't remember the details, but there was a prison (I want to say a war prison in south America?) where the guys in charge made the prisoners wear pink to humiliate them, but it actually reduced fighting and improved the overall mood.
TBH, a couple of the the jumpscares actually help, and that ending scene. They're a bit goofy, but it kind of gives the whole thing a bit of an original Evil Dead vibe. And that slight goofiness just helps make it less scary to me.
I'm so glad you mentioned Black Swan! Whenever we rip our cuticles/finger skin, my sister and I call it "black swanning" ourselves. Lol We even have our mother using the term.
"That looked like a baby guinea pig. You know how they look like erasers?" You may be thinking of baby mice. Baby guinea pigs are actually fully formed miniatures of the adults with fur, open eyes, and open ears.
Thanks for this! I started to watch Smile and I just couldn't go on knowing some of the content (and being in a fragile emotional state at present) so I really appreciate viewing your video instead!
Gurlies, Can I ask how y'all screen record the movie?? anytime me and my mate try screen record on OBS from netflix or prime it doesn't work it just is a black screen as if they've blocked doing it 😢😢 Or do you just screen record ALLEGEDLY from an alleged illegal movie site?😂 p.s love the reaction!!!
I really didn’t like this movie personally. It felt really cheesy and I appreciate what it WANTED to do but I don’t think it did it well. The monster is very clearly meant to be a metaphor for mental health issues but the ending turns the message from “mental health/trauma is a cycle” to “you can’t break the cycle. Unalive yourself.” The babadook did that kind of theme wayyyyy better imo with the ending. You can’t always get rid of the monster, but you can learn to live with it and make a place for it in your life without being afraid of it.
It follows sucked so bad. This movie gave me all it was missing and more 2022 was an amazing year for horror. So many amazing films. Gonna be a hard year to top

She's such an amazing actress! She was so good in Tomorrow, When The War Began.

That's Caitlin Stacey. She's a fantastic actress. I used to watch her on The CW's Reign where she was a regular.

That nurse saying "I'm single" made me choke on my root beer and cough so hard in the theater 😅😅😅😅
“If you’re going to drink the wine that fast don’t put it back in the fridge.”
I feel safe here.
They’re already filming #2 and it starts right where this left off , Joel is the main character of #2 . Same cast director etc . 👍👍
It'll start where they left off??
bro's making stuff up 💀

Nevermind

That smile demon’s face has yet to leave my mind it has stayed there ever since I saw it.

RIGHT I had no plan on watching it based on the trailer but it was such a nice surprise
Haha really? I was sold after I saw the trailer(s)
7:48 only Sergio can dance to a disturbing opening sequence 😂🕺🏻
Right 😂😂😂 I was dancing with him.
I did too lol
actually the guy who keep telling her you're going to die wasn't saying it at all if you really pay attention he's asleep in his bed that's a hallucination

Literally me binge watching rn after finding them this week!!🤣
Hahah I’m doing the same right now!
The movie exceeded in making everyone watching the movie very uncomfortable and unnerving as possible. Saw this in theaters and it did not disappoint!
Sergio dancing to Lollipop 😂😂😂 42:05
"This is not the time" -Cody
I wasn’t expecting this to be a good movie & was happily surprised at how good it was. It’s so creepy & some scenes gave me goosebumps.
Sergio and his hotel story needs to be told!
"This is not the moment" -Cody
Sergio was in the moment dancing in the opening credits. 😂😂😂 7:49
Same Sergio Same.
“It turns out the thing just wants her to stop drinking” 😂😂
The dancing at the credits followed by "This is not the time!" 😂😭
Pink is actually a soothing colour,
The jumpscares in this are terrifying
I loved this movie especially when I found out a lot of the effects were practical!!!
YES! I love how black swan was mentioned with the nail scene !
I was excited for this movie bc the trailer scared me and I love Kyle Gallner, but I did not expect this movie to make me need a therapy session! I didn’t expect the movie to basically tell me, “hey! You need to deal with your trauma now!”

I'm excited to watch this video. Loving the content more and more. I left the super bowl after rihanna performed. Now time for spooks 👻

YES! I will never understand movies or shows. Where people are pretty much in the dark in their own place.
Me reading this in the dark alone in my own place 😂😂😂😂😂 let me go turn a light on lmao
That movie is so good, I wish I could've seen it in theaters
THE SOUND DESIGN IN THEATERS WAS AWESOME!
Idk why but I spent the entirety of this movie stressed over the amount of glassware this woman was breaking 😭
😂😂😂😂that was me this week. I m so awkward

Omg didn’t expect to see Ellie from Tommorow when the war began at the start - an Aussie icon
Sergio dancing to a bop while Cody screams "this is not the time" is tradition now. I've only seen it twice and I want it on a tshirt.
Sergio always surrendering to the beat is one of my favorite things!
Fun fact about that "White Lotus" comparison regarding the music... turns out these have the same composer lmao
The colour is called Baker-Miller pink and is often used in prisons etc. due to its supposed psychological calming and aggression reduction effects.
5:34 I like to call this movie "what would happen if Oculus and It Follows had a baby" lol
To me it’s more like if rosemary’s baby and the ring had a baby
oooh imma start the week in a good mood!
This movie terrified me, I can’t wait for the second one 😭😭😭
Have one recommendation in movie for you: Jacob's Ladder (1990), this movie is underrated, but and excellent.
This movie made me think of the movie Fallen, which has a similar concept that i actually enjoyed more. I would love to see you guys react to Fallen ❤
I saw Pearl right after I saw this for the first time. Imagine how scared I was at the end of Pearl because of this lol 🤣
I just watched a video here Sergio was wearing the shirt that Cody is wearing now. Cute!
Was waiting to watch this vid until I saw the movie for myself finally. I had the same fears as Sergio going in but was pleasantly surprised. Love the vids from you two!

The soundtrack of this movie is brilliant scary asf
Toe in my foot 😂. That made me crack up!
Did they not already react to this?? Maybe I dreamt it? Lol
Maybe they watch the trailers or something..
I believe the term you were thinking of was "foot in mouth". 😁 Is your Pearl reaction still happening??
Love u two for watchin this been waiting 4 this .
TBH, a couple of the the jumpscares actually help, and that ending scene. They're a bit goofy, but it kind of gives the whole thing a bit of an original Evil Dead vibe. And that slight goofiness just helps make it less scary to me.

Not Garfield lmfao
41:56 welp that’s burned into my head forever.
I watched this movie when I was housesitting in a remote cabin in the woods for 10 days. Messed with me for 3 whole days...
I was just like Sergio when the title popped up.. aye aye aye!! 😊
"That looked like a baby guinea pig. You know how they look like erasers?"
You may be thinking of baby mice. Baby guinea pigs are actually fully formed miniatures of the adults with fur, open eyes, and open ears.
Can you even imagine being at that birthday party? That's a LOT of traumatized children. And with the way the entity works...
Thanks for this! I started to watch Smile and I just couldn't go on knowing some of the content (and being in a fragile emotional state at present) so I really appreciate viewing your video instead!
Oh wow your channel had grown super proud of you via Former Roger family 👑💙🥰
"I wish he was more involved in the climax." Girl... don't we all 😂😂😂
The same guy who made the music in this DID actually make the music for the white lotus!
He was sleeping when the doctors rushed to him.
Omg the garfield edit! My favorite movie of 2022.
😂😂😂yess
sum zesty big bois. rawr
Let me tell you… I ate this shit up in theaters… I love psychological horror
I couldn't really get through this movie and stopped watching after a certain x died, so I'm watched the rest of the movie through you guys :x

Ya'll I am not sleeping tonight 😱😱😱
It was the best horror movie in a long time. Can you say sequel? Joel will be the protagonist.
Omg please watch Black Swan!! So many people forget about that movie
I think they making a sequel to Smile
Justice for mustache
"Smile": the movie that had so much potential but was ruined by a trailer that pretty much gave all the best scares away.
Smile 2 is happening
I really didn’t like this movie personally. It felt really cheesy and I appreciate what it WANTED to do but I don’t think it did it well.
