Comment on Smile 2: same writer, same director, mostly same producers. Yet it sucks. Yet it's getting good IMDb reviews.

I liked it a lot.

Felt very Lovecraft in that the idea of winning against it should never have been considered.

The horror feels visceral and the uncomfortable nature of the moment by moment is awful if you empathize with the protagonist.

I like the Fall of the House of Usher and there is no happy ending for any of those characters. They have things happen and then they die.

This was more about spectacle, no grand story just a visceral and loud one of watching a poor person be fucked by trauma.


I think it is weird that you are upset that other people like this movie and are blaming studio meddling.

People could like peanut butter sandwiches I won’t make a post saying I’m weirded out that people are eating them and that George Washington Carver must be behind it somehow.
