Parker Finn's 2022 directorial debut Smile was one of the horror genre's biggest surprises of recent years. Trailers suggested it would be little more than yet another bland studio horror with an arresting gimmick it fails to exploit. But Finn's film turned out to be a thoughtful and disturbing supernatural thriller, one that took the cliché of "trauma" and actually did something interesting with the idea. As an allegory for mental health issues and the looming spectre of potential suicide, it somehow managed to avoid coming across as exploitative or distasteful.
