“Smile” is a tame horror like many others, drawing thematic parallels to movies such as "It Follows" by employing a supernatural element as a metaphor for the relentless transmission of trauma from one victim to the next in an unending chain. While things tend to get inadvertently comical in how they rely on the usual stereotypes, the direction manages to captivate, if not outright fascinate. The inclusion of eerie camerawork and bizarre framing adds to the film's appeal, delivering a handful of genuinely chilling moments.
