Half-review because SMILE was an experiment for my eldest kid: how intense was he willing to get? Answer, was, as far as the birthday party scene. If you like jump scares and slow mental torture in your horror flicks – and I am absolutely not sneering at you if you do* – then this movie is gonna be right up your alley. It’s honestly made, and genuinely disturbing.

*The latter is not my cup of tea, but I can tell when it’s well done, and it’s well done in SMILE.
