Will you smile for 'Smile'? Read our review of the latest spooky film and see if it's right up your alley. | via philstarlife

. Film scorer Cristobal Tapia de Veer amplifies the eerie atmosphere. On the downside, a tedious parade of jump scares can turn off the viewers. It’s a lazy way to trick people into screaming in situations that do not add to the story.Unfortunately, some elements of the story do not make sense in the third act. Horror films still have to have a set of rules within their supernatural universe. Why the Entity is doing the same trick to scare its host baffles me.

The scare factor gets lost by the time they use CG in a person’s ripping his face off during the nth hallucination the Entity made. Phone calls have also been abused as a shock device in the movie, losing their charm when it gets repeated for the second time.’s ending is familiar and might not surprise a horror film aficionado. It mirrors the last act of Ari Aster’s, another supernatural movie that taps into the horrors of mental illness and suicide, which is more brilliantly executed.
