Sometimes….horror films make me smile. In this instance, smiling is a signal for fear and uncertainty. Parker Finn’s new film ‘Smile’ from Paramount dropped a tension induced trailer that we can’t wait to check out. I was first introducer to Finn’s work at Panic Fest back in 2019 when he brought his short film ‘The Hidebehind’ to our festival. It was simple in its approach but was a standout of our short film programming. So it comes as no surprise that Finn found a home for his feature film ‘Smile’ at Paramount.
SYNOPSIS: After witnessing a bizarre, traumatic incident involving a patient, Dr. Rose Cotter (Sosie Bacon) starts experiencing frightening occurrences that she can’t explain. As an overwhelming terror begins taking over her life, Rose must confront her troubling past in order to survive and escape her horrifying new reality.
‘Smile’ will hit theaters and make you feel paranoid just in time for the fall season on September 30th.
