When the glass is shown on her feet, she is wearing socks

Scenario

After witnessing a bizarre, traumatic incident involving a female patient, a psychiatrist becomes increasingly convinced that she is being threatened by an unusual entity.. Days before its release on September 30, 2022, the cast of the film appeared at various baseball games, sitting behind home plate dead and smiling as he stared into the camera, motionless despite fans in the audience being understandably concerned, while wearing Smile T-shirts. Another soon appeared in the background with the audience during the Today show. At about the 31 minute mark, Rose is breaking a glass when her alarm goes off. A few seconds later, as he checks the door, he’s wearing lace-up shoes.

Rose Cotter: What are you?

Based on what happens later at the party, there are a few continuity issues that may not be "bugs" but it may actually be intentional to show "interruptions" in Rose’s consciousness/mind.. Why are you doing this to me? Monstrosity: Because your mind is so attractive. The Paramount opening and closing logos feature a curved line in the shape of a smile at the base of a mountain.

It turned out I was wrong

Lollipop Written by Beverley Ross & Julius Dixon Performed by The Chordettes. One of the few horror films that managed to surprise me this year. When the trailer came out, I thought it was going to be another stupid, incompetent mess. Right from the start, everything from the direction, performance to cinematography and sound design was absolutely stunning. How it managed this feat on such a low budget was beyond me, but the film was simply mesmerizing to watch.

However, the protagonist was good enough to last the entire play

The horror was pretty effective with the scares and gory moments, albeit some cheap ones, but not that distracting. They managed to build up the tension so well and never intended to ease it until the very end. The plot was simple enough to connect all the relevant characters for me to care about them, although some might complain that 90% of the characters are filler and I might agree with that. One thing that may not sit well with audiences is the use of mental illness. Smile handled it decently, but don’t expect an Oscar-worthy performance.

I’d say it was worth the time for horror fans like me

And no, it wasn’t really the main theme so try not to give up halfway because there would be a surprise in the last act of the movie. Try it. These weren’t just some sequels to Annabelle or Insidious but something more.
