Director Parker Finn offers up a brand new unforgettable horror movie urban legend in his feature directorial debut, Smile.
The movie stars Sosie Bacon as Dr. Rose Cotter. She works in an emergency psychiatric unit and one day, a new patient comes in. That patient begs Rose to believe her when she explains that she’s being followed by a smiling being threatening to kill her. Rose doesn’t and, ultimately, that patient takes her own life right in front of her. Soon after, Rose starts having visions of a smile entity herself.
It’s that simple; witness someone who’s infected take their own life, and you wind up with the curse yourself. But, if you love yourself some detailed mythology and sets of rules like yours truly, this is the interview for you because Finn offered up a few additional details on how the smile curse works beyond what we see in the movie.
