This video was originally published as part of OneTake's MONTH OF TERROR. An event in 2025 where I released one horror movie review per day throughout the month of October. If you're curious why the video was taken down and re-published on this channel, see this announcement: https://youtu.be/OL4RxeSHT7o

Another thing I noticed is that Kevin Bacon's daughter Sosie Bacon is the first Smile and in the sequel Jack Nicholson's son Ray Nicholson is in Smile 2 talk about keeping it in the family

I would love to see you cover “Where Evil Lurks” and “Terrified”by director Demian Rugna. Two of the scariest films I’ve ever watched.

To be fair, all it takes to end this demon curse is for the witness to do what comes natural to a lot of people and look away/close their eyes/run?
And if it forces you to watch that kinda ruins the typical demonic theme of “choice”. Whether being tricked into letting it in, having it break you down to do it or knowingly doing it there’s usually a choice to be made. I think they do that for a reason. In the case of Smile removing it
defeats the purpose of the whole “watching a traumatic death” thing. At that point your forcing a possession, just jump in the body lol

This movie is horrifying to me and I’ve watched horror movies my whole life but this scene 10:43 genuinely made me scream on top on my lungs, get up and turn on every light in my house. I STILL couldn’t watch it.. decided to watch it the next day in the day time.. STILL COULDN’T WATCH IT. Ended up reading what happened on Wikipedia. I know.. I’m ashamed.. this right here 16:02 was the last straw for me. That was my FKK THIS movie moment. Never been more scared watching a horror movie in my life. I refuse to watch the second.
