1 Behind-The-Scenes Smile Detail Makes The 2022 Horror Movie Even Creepier

The horror movie Smile is already deeply scary, and there’s one behind-the-scenes detail that makes the sleeper hit even creepier. Smile proved a huge success upon its 2022 release. Even though the movie’s trailer went viral because of commentators mocking its seemingly derivative premise, Smile’s superb critical reception proved that the film was far more than a knock-off of It Follows, The Ring, or Truth or Dare. In fact, Smile’s unsettling, bleak analogy for mental illness ended up making the movie one of 2022’s strongest horror offerings. It even earned the hit a $217 million box office payday.
