[@SOULTJAboy12]

pleassssss watch legend pleassssssssssssssssss

[@odinsahn7648]

I don't blame a lot of the side characters in this movie. Most people know about mental health issues but are very ill-equipped to handle people who suffer from them. They are unable to wrap their heads around that mentality and force themselves into their own safe space for protection and then notify the right people. This is what Trevor did, he contacted Rose' therapist for guidance and the sister (huge bitch) witnessed bad things from Mom as the older sibling and doesn't want to revisit that memory. I can't shun most of these characters for being afraid or feeling useless because they should. The therapist on the other hand was condescending, Kal Penn's character was more therapeutic than her. Good reaction and thought the atmosphere was very menacing. The ending was kinda cheesy though.

[@dogpooo8397]

The Metaphor of trauma and how it can pass on to other people is done really well. Not only is it scary as fuck but kinda sad.

[@DontbeaGoof]

Someone made a great point about the ending too, it's that sometimes people never overcome their trauma.

[@fromlissawithlove]

Exactly, spot on perception. Some people take their trauma to the grave and if they have had children, it only passes on through their lineage. Its like an aggregated curse. You may be your own person, but that energy or DNA has the potential to either be active and in full force, or dormant until it is triggered.

[@makima2983]

What if the person who same the s*icide wasn't traumatised? I don't think it would be pass on then

[@henrikandreason7261]

@@makima2983 Probably not, but that's why the demon chooses its next victim carefully, and therefore screens out potential psychopaths (which have no empathy and is pretty much immune to trauma) and can sense who is mentally weak and neurotic with a traumatic history which it then targets. Pretty much like a serial killer who selects its victims.

[@degov5]

@noxgta people can have different opinions. I watched It Follows after hearing so much about it and was extremely disappointed in it. At least the demon in Smile followed the rules the movie set for itself.

[@fluffylittlebear]

@@yodanerd Yes... Everything everybody says is their opinion. That's how it works.

[@Hammer56Time]

This is one of my favorite horror movies I've seen in a very long time not only genuinely scary but the way it incorporates themes of trauma, depression, healthy and poor coping mechanisms for dealing with your issues as well as how that can effect the people in your life as well as you, tying it all into how the monster actually works was actually genius. That and dear sweet christ the design of the monster was one of the wildest creature designs I have seen in a minute.

[@pandafyb]

This movie perfectly encapsulates trauma/ptsd, it does a very good job showing how it feels to the person experiencing it

[@kurtbarlow9402]

The creature design (post face peel) instantly reminded me of the "Tarman" from Return of the Living Dead.

[@ravewithyou]

In regards to the dialogue of the film with how harshly the characters spoke to our main girl, I think it's important to consider that this is majorly in the perspective of Rose. So there is a great chance that the other characters weren't actually talking that way to her but that's how SHE felt they were. As someone who's gone through depression myself, I can confirm that regardless of the best intentions my loved ones sent my way, my brain would most of the time warp everything said to me as a jab or attack. At the same time, the film uses this same dialogue to address the insensitivity that is often sent toward those suffering from mental health issues. Conversations are a two-way street, and I do appreciate being able to see how both sides may see the same situation. Just my two cents.

[@bendleson]

Great observation, I find myself trying to see Rose from other character’s point of views and given her family history and completely erratic behavior I totally understand why almost everyone thought she was mentally slipping.

[@SolidSnake240]

Sometimes people can just be dicks too though even if its unintentional. I've seen both cases be true.

@@SolidSnake240this movie really put on the forefront of how a lot of mental ill people are treated and not just mental ill but the unfortunates as well, you have a lot of people in this world who feels like depression is a choice when its not, you never know what anyone face in life that can make them fall down a dark path mentally. You cant control everything that happens in life, some things just happens ya know

[@SolidSnake240]

@@sleekelegancesuave Late reply but i've been working lol. Well said though. You hit the nail on the head

[@williamguenthenspberger]

This movie is a great representation of what some may go through with mental illness. Many don't feel heard, while this "demon"/mental illness consumes them. Some people can be cruel in this world and will use words like "fruit loop". And when someone does take their own life with witnesses it does pass trauma to them. To someone witnessing suicide could be in so much shock that they freeze and that's why I think in the story he couldn't turn away. It feels like the "smile" people put on is like a mask they put on in front of others to hide things.

[@Xcris_crosX]

At timestamp 20:55 when Nikki demanded to know if he would've treated her like that, Steven should've slowly turned to her with a smile on his face

[@KenTheReactionAddict]

What shook me up about this movie was that everyone defaulted to insanity. Including her with the girl in the beginning. Almost no one in this movie, except the ex and the guy in jail, gave any consideration to the idea that these people were sane and experiencing something evil.

[@TheRubyGamersTRG]

i think the fact that everyone immediately resorts to thinking these people are insane makes it more scary - you’re dealing with this very real thing but not a single person believes you and just thinks you’re crazy. you could feel rose’s frustration which adds to the feeling of dread

[@spazalicious]

It's also one of the most annoying horror tropes to exist imo. I can't stand it, but this movie was okay.

[@erikawilliams3603]

I went to go see this movie with my boyfriend who ironically is also named Trevor and my mom also suffers from schizophrenia, after the movie he told me he would never throw my family’s history of mental illness in my face like the Trevor did in this movie, it’s SO important to have a significant other that is supportive and understanding of mental illness. Rose deserved better than Trevor 🙄

[@iamlinda100]

The more I watch this movie (seen it a few times) the more impressed I am with it. It seems like it's a take on Psychotic Depression (which is something I'm working on in a script I'm developing right now so... I immediately find it interesting). So it's not just trauma, it's also a severe and rare mental health issue. And the film only rarely strays into "Hollywood" and I respect that.

23:57 One of the best reactions from Steven lol.

[@katsukirenka1629]

I'm really grateful for all you guys said about the disrespect and how poorly mental health was treated by 'outsiders'. It definitely got to me when I watched this in cinemas, as someone who spent a night in a psychiatric ward who had people say things like that. Police were called down because of two guys who were fighting (one of who had been perfectly polite to me and another girl, apologising when they thought they scared us and keeping their distance afterwards). It was this tiny waiting room corridor and I had folded myself up on a chair, I have a few policeman like a foot away from me, so I decide to ask them how their night was going. I got completely ignored and one said to another "I don't get why we have to be here with the crazies". So yeah, people please be respectful and just generally be good people, especially if you are in a position of power!!

[@Xerrill]

At this point, I'm also here for Nikkis' reactions. They're as good as the movies.

[@vigorousera]

The first girl's smile is so perfectly creepy part of me wants to believe they developed this entire movie around it.

[@urarakasupremecist5671]

Have you seen the short film Laura Hasn't Slept? The first girl is in it, she plays the same character. Essentially it's about Laura visiting a therapist to talk about a man that smiles creepily at her in her dreams, who wants to show her its true face. It was also directed by Parker Finn and it was the origin of the Smile monster and the entire smile movie.

[@BiggerBear]

@@urarakasupremecist5671Yes! Plus she’s also one of the actors who appeared at matches before the film’s release, to promote the film they would be staring into a camera smiling

[@circlenowsquared]

I was always more focused on the acting when I watched this movie and then watched reactions of it, I didn't notice how excellent the cinematography was until Steven pointed it out!

[@AaronRaynerKASR]

So glad you two finally got around to this one! It's such a great metaphor for mental health wrapped into a horror show! The premise of how we (as a society) try to push mental illness away and ignore it or minimize it, is so on point with today's perspective. Someone feeling depressed, we're so quick to tell them to just "smile" ... because no one has time for depression/mental illness/suicidal thoughts. And the way NO ONE would validate her neurosis. It's so on point. And I get how the "monster" going inside of her or consuming her is a bit much... but if you think of her finally giving up to her trauma... and then passing it on - it worked for me. :) Great reaction you two!

Mental health is so important, and unfortunately, there are still individuals who do talk to others with insensitive words(due to them not understanding, but not trying to understand.) leading to the individual going to therapy, to feel even worse. Therefore, it’s just better to actually talk to others and listen.

[@Headloser]

The young actress playing the young victim at 5:00. She is very good. She going to have a great career.

[@noobofalltrades9766]

This movie would have probably stayed with me if I haven't seen "It follows" and "The Ring" before. But as a few mentioned it's a good metaphor for trauma and how it can be passed to someone and stays with them and a chance to also pass it along.

[@Scary__fun]

It was good for a low budget first time directing. But, for anyone who's a fan of Mike Flanagan's work of The Haunting of Hill House/Bly Manor and Midnight Mass... this takes a lot of inspiration from the quiet shots, jump scares, use of sound. The first shot is literally the same as one used before by him. Although the lead actress and the first who kills herself were good, all the other actors were poor or irritating. I did like the creepy ending though.

[@blinkspacestudio8892]

The shots and soundtracks for this movie really impressed me, whatever about the scare scenes they were really good too but the way the shots made you feel was quite clever, every single shot had a purpose. I loved how they made Rose feel the other side of her patients and not be believed, even by those closest to her.

[@lkf8799]

[@izikmoreno7107]

I absolutely love when Nikki mentioned the dad joke and she starts laughing, then Steven tries moving on and and Nikki spread her laughter to Steven ugh you guys are honestly the best. I don’t think that was the demons only form. The demon used Rose’s mom as a fear factor to scare the hell out of Rose. It worked a little too well to the point where Rose thought she beat it when it was all in her head. Some families are like that sadly, they aren’t emotionally trying to be there fully. When people automatically resort to calling people that are obviously going through something. Calling them crazy is the worst thing to call a person in panic and fear.

[@Shifty1971]

Why does the significant other in all these movies never believe what their partner is telling them? I would so totally believe my wife if she told me she was seeing something. But then again, we have lived in a haunted house so we both believe that stuff is possible.

[@sillygoose4263]

The director said the curse was manipulating what she heard

[@Br0nto5aurus]

I think the fact that so many people use such insensitive language for mental health in this movie is 1) realistic (I can totally imagine gross hospital execs calling their patients 'nutcases' to each other), and 2) makes the story scarier. The other characters are so dismissive of mental health that it isolates the person in crisis because everyone else in the movie just says, "she's a fruitloop" and totally disregardsher concerns. It adds to the fear and frustration. I just kept thinking, "why doesn't she kill herself by herself, early on, so no one else gets it?" But I guess it makes sense that protagonists in horror movies would have a strong will to live.

[@mj_SR22]

Mental Health Therapist here, this movie is a great example of how people with mental health struggles are alienated and driven to greater distress by supposed supports. The movie made a point to go through all the different "traditional" terms used to deride a person with mental health struggles. It puts you in the place of a person who struggles to articulate things like anxiety and depression, never mind psychosis. The first thing most patients say to me is "I don't know how to say it", and once they try, the next thing is usually, "I know that sounds crazy." I'll also add that most people don't ignore their mental health so much as they don't even know how to gauge or measure it. A professor of mine once said, "Most of your patients will be people who should've come to you 5 years earlier." People take exhaustion, anxiety, depression, even trauma, far too casually because so many people do it. People forget what it means and feels to be healthy. It's not until the symptoms are giant neon lights that people even think to go for help much of the time.

[@lwc2349]

Nikki had a point when she mentioned the movies color because a lot of things in the movie were subconsciously telling you or the characters to be happy and smile, for example the hospital is a shade of pink called Baker-Miller Pink which is a pink that was created and tested in a lot of prisons to reduce violence and make people more “happy”

The part that really creeps me the fuck out the most even though it's not a jump scare is that part where she stares (the camera panning slowly to the left) at the apparition just so quite and smiling manically at her.

[@dashahill8765]

I love you guys mentioning you don't like a happy ending all the time with horror movies. I feel the same way lol

[@davedahl4461]

Would love to see you both react to Hereditary. You both handled Sinister so well.

[@tince2987]

Man I’ve never jumped up so much in the theatre before 😂

[@deniboy1806]

The whole gist of this movie is the unsettling feelings it gives. It was the first horror movie to make me feel like that in a long while.

[@APixieNinja]

This is the only movie other than Sinister, that scared the hell out of me. Also, happy birthday Nikki!!

[@Number0neSon]

Hereditary?

[@wildbelles]

I’ll never recover from Sinister too 🥲

[@APixieNinja]

@@Number0neSon haven't seen that one yet. I heard it's wild too. 😬

[@Number0neSon]

@@APixieNinja It's a must see.

I like the name mustache for a cat too. Def noted if I get another cat, that will be it's name. Lol

[@sannaolsson9106]

I understand her boyfriend because she sounds absolutely crazy. I don't think they are bad people for not believing her. In their eyes she killed her cat and gave it to her nephew as a present. Why would they help her at the party?? I would get away too lol.

[@andrewill9308]

If I was the husband/boyfriend and my woman was going through that I would tell her she's an amazing therapists and her patients she's her as a becon of hope when they are going through there moods and you have been able to find answers on many occasions. I would say hear me out and try to keep an opened mind, how we try the spiritual route and see what happens as the normal route isn't working for now. Take her to a spiritual healer and maybe it could help temporarily or permanently.

[@leahalford5769]

Makes you wonder...if this crazy paranormal shit happens to rose then who's to say some of her patients aren't experiencing something similar? Makes you wonder how many of her patients are ACTUALLY crazy??

I don't get genuinely scared by many horror films, but the design of the monster (after the skin peeling back) legitimately kept me awake that night. Something about it just freaked me the hell out. I do have issues with some of the writing in this movie, but if the sequel fixes that and keeps or even ups the scares, it could be one of the best horror movies I've ever seen.
