While the preview keeps many of the film's details mysterious, in a plot device pulled from The Ring/Ringu, it appears anyone who comes in contact with the smiling entity dies in a certain number of days.
The trailer for Paramount Pictures shows a doctor named Rose Cotter who witnesses a patient kill herself after seeing a terrifying entity. Finn's horror short Laura Hasn't Slept won the special jury Midnight Short award at the South by Southwest Film Festival. This is her first leading role in a feature film, and she is the daughter of Kevin Bacon.
The movie looks to tap into the idea that people smiling for long periods of time is fundamentally scary. Rose seems to be followed by a supernatural force that causes her to smile and kill everyone around her. The film is written and directed by Parker Finn. On September 30, 2022, a smile creeps across the face of the multiplexes. The trailer for Paramount Picture's new horror film may make viewers want to scream. She has a troubling past that may hold the secret to her frightening present.
