How a Smile Became the Face of Horror

[@lukebruton4110]

A lot of people shit on the appearance of the entity at the end but I thought the multiple deformed jaws and overall look was pretty scary, although I do wonder whether it could’ve been more effective to do what a lot of horror films do and never directly show the entity itself, you could have it appear just out of site or in the darkness multiple times end end up generating a better scare than ever having it actually appear on screen

The smile is extremely disturbing. But I do wonder what power it would have over us if it inhibits someone which a less natural smile, like an elderly lady with false teeth, without the teeth in would she really look that terrifying?
