FIRST TIME WATCHING: Smile

Not sure if you're gonna do any more horror movies but you've gotta watch smile 2.

if you want truly awful let me recommend "A House of Dynamite". It's so bad. I have never had a movie left me feeling so used and exploited.

It's a pretty good horror film. It could have had more depth and instead of using trauma and mental health as a device done a deeper exploration of it and the need to face ones demons and the power of catharsis. But then they would have had a problem with showing the monster, which is terrifying and also it wouldn't set up the possibility of a franchise. But as it is it's a solid horror flick.s

I really hope you watch smile 2 on halloween!

I’m pretty sure the Oscar Muñoz face reveal was a reference to The Ring! Another fantasticly terrifying movie that I would love to see you watch lmao

I’m not gonna lie, when I first watched this movie I HATED the ending. I love the movie and I think it works great, love the idea of a monster that literally manifests through trauma from person to person, the feeling of losing your mind and not knowing what’s real was great, and the creature design was top notch. And I respect a bleak ending, but as someone with a lil bit of trauma myself I may have naively believe that she was gonna make, or at least so badly wanted her to find a way to overcome it 😅 I thought addressing her trauma and accepting it would allow her to overcome it and move on and have Nice Message™️ but that final twist really ticked me off first go around 😭 I’ve gotten over it since then and I do think it’s a great movie - I don’t think Smile 2 is /that/ much better so idk why it got that hype but I’m always glad to see horror movies getting more recognition

FINALLY SOMEONE RECOGNISES CARLA FROM SCRUBS!!!! TASTE!!!

The second one is also praised too, especially for the lead performance by Naomie Scott. Very bleak films these are but they are creepy. Makes me look at dark corners of my home while watching it.

it's kinda funny that today is Thursday in October, because that's the date they said it was in the beginning.. like we picked the perfect day to watch this :) Smile 2! You'll find it better, I bet!

I love how her boss is nothing but helpful and supportive. Happens rarely in horror movies. Or any movie, really.

Watch The Long Walk at some point! I’m a bit of a cryer and this movie had me sobbing at points so I know it will just destroy Natalie 😂

Nat watching Smile.. 👋👋👋😨👋👋👋

That scene when her sister walked up to her car door started me so bad that I hit some random keys on my keyboard and messed up my watchalong of this movie 😄

Except for the monster design at the end this movie might be one of the worst horror movies in recent years. Every trope in history and they're all done poorly. Can't believe this slop got a sequel.

Happy Thursday Nat. Sounds like you had a fine time with this movie 😬 Look forward to watching it with you. This was a creepy cool reaction Nat. The hand waving was back 😄 I've only ever seen the doctor boss guy in comedies so every time he appeared it was hard to take him seriously. That and the fact that his main line of dialogue was always "Rose, what are you doing here?" Enjoyed your reaction Nat, and if you can stand it, you should certainly was the sequel some time 😊

Only a couple more weeks to go on Natmares season, you can do it Nat lol...

This is so entertaining so far lolol Yeah, one of my favorite natmares reactions of all time 😆 I wouldn’t be surprised if we’re watching the sequel next natmares 👀

Hopefully Smile 2 will be in the queue someday.

I watched this at a late night screening, and I swear to god when I got back home, my tiny one bedroom had never looked bigger, more sinister and with wayy too many shadowy corners.

I knew you'd like this. The internet seems to think Smile 2 is better (and are weirdly obsessed with it for some reason idk), but I still this is the superior one. Sosie Bacon (daughter of Kevin Bacon) deserves far, far more praise for her performance here than she actually did.
