The horror movie “Smile,” in which a therapist catches a curse from a patient, expands its simple premise by focusing on genre tropes and trends.Written and directed by Parker Finn, “Smile” stars Sosie Bacon as a therapist who catches a sinister, fatal curse from one of her patients. The cast of “Smile” also includes Jessie T. Usher, Kyle Gallner, Caitlin Stasey, Rob Morgan and Kal Penn.
“Writer-director Parker Finn’s feature debut, ‘Smile,’ boasts the thinnest of premises based on a laundry list of horror movie trends and tropes, from the historical to the contemporary,” writes film critic Katie Walsh“But Finn fleshes it out with some dizzying cinematography by Charlie Sarroff, a creepily effective score by Cristobal Tapia de Veer, and a believably twitchy lead performance from Sosie Bacon. Oh, and jump scares, a whole lotta jump scares.
Still, the highly anticipated film posted the third-lowest opening of the year among titles released in more than 3,000 theaters.
I guess people like happy movies.
Of course horror movies always make a lot of money in October.
