Smile School

About This Movie

So, 'Smile School' is an intriguing dive into the world of self-help gone wrong. Lloyd, the self-help guru, has this overwhelming presence and a grin that feels more sinister as the story unfolds. The pacing ebbs and flows, pulling you into Eva’s obsessive journey with Lloyd, and as she gets closer, the atmosphere thickens with tension. Forget the usual jump scares; this film leans heavily on practical effects to create a creeping dread that builds subtly. The performances are a bit raw but add to the authenticity, especially Eva's transformation. It’s this unsettling commentary on blind faith in charismatic leaders that makes it distinctive, and you really can’t shake that feeling once the credits roll.

Focus on the psychological aspects of the characters. · Not your typical horror; explore themes of obsession. · Check the practical effects; they really enhance the creep factor.
