Smile (2022) may be director Parker Finn's feature length film debut, but it has the style and scares to feel like a veteran effort.
Psychiatric therapist Laura already has a lot of baggage - workaholic, abusive childhood, a strained relationship with her sister - when a delusional patient seems to transmit a terrifying curse onto her. Is it all in her head, or is there an entity really after her?
Discussion points include: homages to other horror films, a useless fiancé, poor trauma processing.
