The 2022 movie "Smile" falls into what category?
"Smile" is a 2022 American supernatural horror film written and directed by Parker Finn in his feature directorial debut, based on his 2020 short film "Laura Hasn't Slept". It stars Sosie Bacon as a therapist who, after witnessing the bizarre suicide of a patient, goes through increasingly disturbing and daunting experiences, leading her to believe what she is experiencing is supernatural. Jessie T. Usher, Kyle Gallner, Caitlin Stasey, Kal Penn and Rob Morgan also star. The feature adaptation of Finn's short was announced in June 2020, and the cast was added in October 2021.
Filming began that month in New Jersey. Originally set for a streaming release through Paramount+, the studio opted to release the film theatrically after strong positive test screenings. "Smile" had its world premiere at Fantastic Fest on September 22, 2022, and was released in the United States on September 30, 2022 by Paramount Pictures.
"Smile" received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised the jumpscares, production values, and Bacon's performance, though some noted similarities to other horror media such as "It Follows" (2014) and "The Ring" (2002). It was a box office success, grossing $104 million on a $17 million budget.
