Smile

Here’s some good news for horror fans – the most effectively terrifying movie of the year has arrived.

Smile follows Rose (Sosie Bacon, daughter of Kevin Bacon), a therapist working in an emergency psychiatric ward. One day, she tends to a patient who is convinced she is being terrorised by an evil being, and during the appointment, the patient plants an unusual, creepy smile on her face and kills herself.

It soon becomes apparent that the curse, or whatever was pursuing the patient, has now passed onto Rose and she has to figure out a way to stop it before it’s too late.

Smile is one of the best horror films this year and contains the best jump scare of 2022 so far. There are a few cheap jumps but you’ll never see the big one coming and it is so effective. Try and see this film with a big crowd as it makes that moment quite funny!

It’s not just about the jumps though – there are some horrifying images, a decent amount...
