First off this is a rehash film. There is absolutely nothing new to see other than the cheap cgi, jumb scare score and horrible Dutch angles.

With this mentioned you can kind of grasp as to what this film entails. Basically we follow the main protagonist which is a stage play dancer of sorts. She has an accident with her ankle, she goes to surgery but she never healed properly and still thinks she has the ability to make it big.

Now before we go into spoiler territory I will stop there. This film is filled with rehashed characters. Dianne Weist plays an excellent Minnie, she nailed it! Too bad the rest of the film fell apart around her excellent performance. The issues I have with this film, it doesn't feel at all like the original. It feels like television movie quality.

There are some repeated scenes from the original like the laundry room scene in Rosemarys baby. We also repeat stomach cramps, identical to what Rosemary went through. And yes the character Dr. Sapirstein is also in this film.

You see what I'm getting at here? There is nothing new under the hood! Well other than cheesy Dutch angles and poor CGI, and rehashed characters from the original.

My recommendation, don't waste your precious time and just watch the original film, because this one is portrayed in the trailer as a one off prequel but in a lot of ways it's just a unnecessary remake.

Unnecessary because we already know the backstory in the original of what happened to the previous tenant there is nothing new to see here folks, and definitely save your money and watch something else.

This is not a good film, it is filled with overacting Only teens and adults in their 20's would consider this a good film.

I was ready to turn this off on multiple occasions. It tries to be modern and hip like Heriditary(cinematography), and nostalgia with films like The Ring and The Grudge.

Some of the score is very similar to Sinister starring Ethan Hawke. Which is far superior to this film.

I have no clue as to why Smile is rated so highly. It's nothing but Hollywood's attempt at capturing something that isn't there, nor will it be.

It would of worked if it didn't try so hard at being everything else that we have seen before.

The film script is pretty solid, not too many unnecessary shots as far as unexplained camera angles like most found footage films.

The acting was fantastic by the lead protagonist. The film is set upon an Amish community and is very well done in that regard. It has really good character development and very believable.

I understand its a sequel but it should of been called something else and not part of the PA franchise. It should of been an independent stand alone film. It almost feels like a Halloween III situation, it bombed at first but now is a cult classic and well respected as a stand alone.

The atmoshphere was perfect, felt haunting atvcertain points. Inreally enjoyed this film for what it is.
