SMILE (2022) First Time REACTION | We were NOT expecting all THAT!

[@LadyJenevia]

That first girl who dies really worked THE HELL out of that part because she's 'only' the opening kill but she got to be ALL OVER the marketing for the film in the trailer and poster(s) so everyone saw her GO! TO! WORK! even if they were too scared to actually see the film. Very unironic "I'm a star!" energy. 😂

[@BoxOKittens]

She's actually the actress who played the lead role in the short film that this movie is based off of, so it's doubly cool to see her get the opening part.

[@ssicamon1927]

She's such an amazing actress! She was so good in Tomorrow, When The War Began.

That's Caitlin Stacey. She's a fantastic actress. I used to watch her on The CW's Reign where she was a regular.

[@reader2012]

The director said he wanted us to feel like we were having an anxiety/panic attack with the character with the way he filmed it and utilized jump scared throughout

[@eharper7]

It worked! 😂

[@alicialestini2022]

@@eharper7FOR REAL!! I had anxiety the whole movie 😅

[@SpookyKnickers]

“If you’re going to drink the wine that fast don’t put it back in the fridge.” I feel safe here.

[@BoxOKittens]

The sound design in this movie was PERFECT and the jumpscares actually served a purpose most of the time. Instead of just making us jump, they also were used to put us in the main character's shoes. The disorientation and fear was palpable throughout this film. Altogether I think this movie was largely about trauma, and how we tend to bury it and pretend we're fine, to our own detriment. And that if you keep doing that, eventually you will cross a point of no return, and it will be too late. It's not enough to admit you need help, you also need to reach out and accept help, and sadly when she was finally ready to take that first step, it was too late.

[@Hooga89]

I think the sound design, soundtrack and cinematography is great, but the script is kinda mediocre. Clearly the people who made the movie are good at what they do, but when the source material is only so-so, there's only so much you can do.

[@BoxOKittens]

@@Hooga89 Well the source material is a ten minute short film so...

[@niles8102]

That nurse saying "I'm single" made me choke on my root beer and cough so hard in the theater 😅😅😅😅

[@BoxOKittens]

3:30 fun fact: apparently there was a time when mental health facilities painted their walls that shade of pink, because it was believed to have a calming effect.

[@YourInternetDaddy]

still do

[@dekkadoll]

Based on 2020 short film "Laura hasn't slept". The director and rose's college paitent. Are the original director and actress. I love your reactions!! And I agree with Cody this movie Freaked me out! Even simple things like phone ringing or alarm. Have a great week guys! Thank you!

[@thepoeticminecart]

The scariest fact of this movie is that that monster with the faces at the end was 100% real. And the mouth bring pulled open was a dummy replica of her with an elastic jaw

[@BrandonJames2016]

That smile demon’s face has yet to leave my mind it has stayed there ever since I saw it.

[@unrelatedcoma]

the weird thing about this movie is people never talk about the symbolism of the monster getting huge. it was pretending to be her mom and then when it walked out of the room and was scary it was bigger than her, approximately the same size difference as her real mom when Rose was just a child who was afraid of an adult. btw the cop is Kyle Gallner, really underrated actor. he plays the lead in a bunch of smaller indie films.

[@slyctonbits]

41:07 - If you rewatch the scene with the first girl (Laura) at the beginning, you can guess when this happened to her, like when the entity enters her body too.

[@Skelet0nCatBlake]

The final scene with the ‘monster’ was actually done somewhat practically. There was a dude in the costume, and some marionette parts that two dudes helped move, and the ‘Rose’ was a dummy.

[@rebeccaschmidt7848]

As an artist, we were taught in our Color Theory classes that pastels have more of a calming, soothing effect on the psyche - especially Bubblegum Pink, which was, at one time, believed to calm psychotic episodes (I don't know if that's still the belief or not, this was 20 years ago). As for Red and Green, they're Complimentary colors on the Color Wheel, meaning they're directly opposed from one another on the Color Wheel, and of higher contrast. The same with Blue and Orange, Violet and Yellow, etc. Basically, when you put them together, they pop so violently that you can't help but look at them first when you put them beside one another.

[@mrknowhere6457]

This movie looked really cheesy and bad from the trailers, but it turned out waaay scarier then I thought it would be. The music score in it is amazing, and really helps with that.

[@BoxOKittens]

Yes, I felt the same way. I went in with low expectations because I hate jumpscares and CG creepy faces, but I feel like this movie used them really well. Not always perfect, but leagues better than most other horror films that follow the same formula.

[@GoCrazyBaby3]

RIGHT I had no plan on watching it based on the trailer but it was such a nice surprise

[@diamcole]

Haha really? I was sold after I saw the trailer(s)

[@soitsdivine]

Sergio dancing to Lollipop 😂😂😂 42:05 "This is not the time" -Cody

They’re already filming #2 and it starts right where this left off , Joel is the main character of #2 . Same cast director etc . 👍👍

[@jacobmayer8916]

Smile and Sinister are the only movies I’ll give a pass on the jumpscares purely because of how creative they were/appropriate to the tone w/o compromising it’s story

[@MiaTheS1llyGooser]

i know right

[@Reyna_Amaturi]

7:48 only Sergio can dance to a disturbing opening sequence 😂🕺🏻

[@soitsdivine]

Right 😂😂😂 I was dancing with him.

[@AbsolutAlim]

I did too lol

[@rayalexander3734]

🤣🤣🤣🤣Sergio was voguing to some disturbing $hit lol 😂! Sergio needs to be an Addams house of Morticia with his love ❤️

[@jasminelong3234]

Sergio dancing to a bop while Cody screams "this is not the time" is tradition now. I've only seen it twice and I want it on a tshirt.

[@kgamzz26]

Pink is meant to calm. I first heard about a football coach from my old university using it for the opposing team’s locker room. I noticed it in the movie Glass as well when the doctor was having a session with all three of the “superheroes.”

[@yomanugraha]

You mentioned that the score is close to The White Lotus, and yes, the music scorer for this movie is Cristobal Tapia de Veer. The guy who done TWL as well.

[@KrystalTwilight]

the sad thing about this movie, it really goes to show that the people that was supposed to be there and support her, wasnt. She needed them and they failed her.

[@AlienAteIt.MyNoraTees]

That's the scariest part. That and you can't trust your own mind.

[@nuffyj8614]

I know this comment was from a year ago, but I feel like the film muddies up that takeaway, because ultimately, she ends up bringing down whoever's there with her. Canonically (unless 2 says something different; I haven't seen it yet) there's nothing you can do once the monster gets you except pass it on to someone else.

[@justlive2809]

actually the guy who keep telling her you're going to die wasn't saying it at all if you really pay attention he's asleep in his bed that's a hallucination

[@niles8102]

I saw it a 2nd tinme when it came to streaming and realized that then.

[@PeggyV69]

I wasn’t expecting this to be a good movie & was happily surprised at how good it was. It’s so creepy & some scenes gave me goosebumps.

[@deaditeera]

[@coolboss999]

The movie exceeded in making everyone watching the movie very uncomfortable and unnerving as possible. Saw this in theaters and it did not disappoint!

Pink is actually a soothing colour,

[@AnaFox]

Sergio always surrendering to the beat is one of my favorite things!

[@jjasmineceja4508]

The jumpscares in this are terrifying

[@Sin_ofGreed_]

4:16 fun fact, the man who did the soundtrack for this film is the one who also did white lotus

[@deaditeera]

I was excited for this movie bc the trailer scared me and I love Kyle Gallner, but I did not expect this movie to make me need a therapy session! I didn’t expect the movie to basically tell me, “hey! You need to deal with your trauma now!”

[@Br0nto5aurus]

On "color psychology", I don't remember the details, but there was a prison (I want to say a war prison in south America?) where the guys in charge made the prisoners wear pink to humiliate them, but it actually reduced fighting and improved the overall mood.

[@Yardibella]

I loved this movie especially when I found out a lot of the effects were practical!!!

[@torileslie530]

Yes color psychology is a real thing, certain colors trigger the fusiform gyrus of the brain. Along with certain shades of colors can have different meanings and affects on behavior as well!!

[@alfonsoortiz268]

YES! I love how black swan was mentioned with the nail scene !

[@YNergy]

Cody's horrified reaction to the (somewhat ill-timed) music (in the beginning and end) was SO PERFECT!!!

[@tree1568]

The colour is called Baker-Miller pink and is often used in prisons etc. due to its supposed psychological calming and aggression reduction effects.

[@niles8102]

I was not expecting Kumars actor to pop up AND get a Jumpscare scene. When we saw this opening weekend (full theater), his face peel scene made everyone gasp and scream! I had to cover my eyes a few times. I am so excited for part 2!

[@BoxOKittens]

5:34 I like to call this movie "what would happen if Oculus and It Follows had a baby" lol

[@brandonkashinsky9222]

To me it’s more like if rosemary’s baby and the ring had a baby

[@Wint3rWasteland]

I love that they made her mother change like that, because I believe it’s supposed to be a representation of what her mother looked liked to her when she was a child.

[@Neon_Dion]

This movie terrified me, I can’t wait for the second one 😭😭😭

[@wh0aheavy]

Idk why but I spent the entirety of this movie stressed over the amount of glassware this woman was breaking 😭

[@sissi3479]

😂😂😂😂that was me this week. I m so awkward

[@dartigens10]

TBH, a couple of the the jumpscares actually help, and that ending scene. They're a bit goofy, but it kind of gives the whole thing a bit of an original Evil Dead vibe. And that slight goofiness just helps make it less scary to me.

[@skullkillerz175]

I'm excited to watch this video. Loving the content more and more. I left the super bowl after rihanna performed. Now time for spooks 👻

[@Angie24901]

I'm so glad you mentioned Black Swan! Whenever we rip our cuticles/finger skin, my sister and I call it "black swanning" ourselves. Lol We even have our mother using the term.

[@Just_Yaya]

I just want to say, I'm new to your channel. Your vids just popped up on my feed and let me tell y'all, I've have been binging your channel. I definitely subscribe already. You guys are awesome. And the fact that y'alls know Zzavid? Yassssssss❤

[@FlixCreEightR]

YES! I will never understand movies or shows. Where people are pretty much in the dark in their own place.

[@Killuasmom_]

Me reading this in the dark alone in my own place 😂😂😂😂😂 let me go turn a light on lmao

[@tiffanyvalentineisthebestt3493]

listen. i didn’t watch any trailer for the movie, my therapist recommended it, and she recommended the right movie! i said i wanted something new that’d scare me, and I sure as hell was scared! i normally don’t do the jumpscare bananza kind of movies (which is why i’ve only seen the first conjuring and started the second) but i think this was a good movie (even though i was annoyed with some character choices throughout the movie)

[@TrigoFRT]

That movie is so good, I wish I could've seen it in theaters

[@niles8102]

THE SOUND DESIGN IN THEATERS WAS AWESOME!

oooh imma start the week in a good mood!

[@reggierodriguez5685]

Was waiting to watch this vid until I saw the movie for myself finally. I had the same fears as Sergio going in but was pleasantly surprised. Love the vids from you two!

[@Br0nto5aurus]

"That looked like a baby guinea pig. You know how they look like erasers?" You may be thinking of baby mice. Baby guinea pigs are actually fully formed miniatures of the adults with fur, open eyes, and open ears.

23:50 y would you scare me like that those books traumatized me as a kid😭

[@strangerjones5576]

Fun fact about that "White Lotus" comparison regarding the music... turns out these have the same composer lmao

[@zedge527]

This movie made me think of the movie Fallen, which has a similar concept that i actually enjoyed more. I would love to see you guys react to Fallen ❤

Love u two for watchin this been waiting 4 this .

I watched this movie when I was housesitting in a remote cabin in the woods for 10 days. Messed with me for 3 whole days...

[@ScientificallyStupid]

Came back to watch this before I go over to Paramount to watch Smile 2 and TBH Sergio busting a move during the title credits fucking SENT ME, I started moving too!

[@Wash869]

Have one recommendation in movie for you: Jacob's Ladder (1990), this movie is underrated, but and excellent.

[@mrhorror5416]

The soundtrack of this movie is brilliant scary asf

Can you even imagine being at that birthday party? That's a LOT of traumatized children. And with the way the entity works...

[@ScottMcGoldrick]

Gurlies, Can I ask how y'all screen record the movie?? anytime me and my mate try screen record on OBS from netflix or prime it doesn't work it just is a black screen as if they've blocked doing it 😢😢 Or do you just screen record ALLEGEDLY from an alleged illegal movie site?😂 p.s love the reaction!!!

[@David_D.926]

I believe the term you were thinking of was "foot in mouth". 😁 Is your Pearl reaction still happening??

[@auntiecreeps1414]

I saw Pearl right after I saw this for the first time. Imagine how scared I was at the end of Pearl because of this lol 🤣

[@RectPropagation]

I am about to finish a Silent Hill 2 Let's Play, so this turning out to be about someone literally being consumed by their guilt is an interesting coincidence. (Also, I find I can't watch most horror movies unless I see someone react to it first so, thank you for your service.)

[@AbsolutAlim]

I was just like Sergio when the title popped up.. aye aye aye!! 😊

[@betteryourlife865]

Did they not already react to this?? Maybe I dreamt it? Lol

[@maxoub02]

Thanks for this! I started to watch Smile and I just couldn't go on knowing some of the content (and being in a fragile emotional state at present) so I really appreciate viewing your video instead!

[@YNergy]

the smile is creepy because they are smiling with their mouths, not their eyes (you should check out Kids in the Hall. A character named Buddy Cole did a very memorable sketch about that.)

i was just thinking this, i’m rewatching while i wait lol 😂😂

[@user-lb9xw4xf2q]

I find the ending a bit annoying because it undermines the character growth; changes the moral to "it's tough but if you work hard, you can overcome trauma" to "you can't overcome trauma ever so just kill yourself."

[@kaodi6993]

but she needed a support system. Nobody was willing to listen.

[@WL22345]

I really didn’t like this movie personally. It felt really cheesy and I appreciate what it WANTED to do but I don’t think it did it well. The monster is very clearly meant to be a metaphor for mental health issues but the ending turns the message from “mental health/trauma is a cycle” to “you can’t break the cycle. Unalive yourself.” The babadook did that kind of theme wayyyyy better imo with the ending. You can’t always get rid of the monster, but you can learn to live with it and make a place for it in your life without being afraid of it.
