Smile (2022)



Released September 30th in the US.
Filmed entirely in New Jersey.
The story: Rose is a psychiatrist working in a hospital's emergency mental facility.
She cares very deeply about helping her patients, so much so that she would do it without pay.
Rose also comes from a background of mental illness herself.
When urgent care patient Leslie arrives terrified after being the only witness to the suicide of her college professor, Rose tries hard to calm her and get her to talk.
Leslie explains that she has been seeing people...
People that she may or may not know.
People who are alive or dead.
The "people" are all "disguised" as someone but Leslie believes they are all the same...
The one common denominator between all these "people", is that they make themselves visible to only her with evil, grimacing smiles on their faces.
What does Leslie believes will come of this?
She believes it will all be the very death of her.
Only after Leslie kills herself while the short time she is in Rose's care does she believe her.
But Rose has no idea how any of it could even be possible and what's worse is everyone she talks to about the incident just assumes Leslie was crazy.
The more horrifying things get for Rose, the more everyone around her believes she's just losing her mind as well.
