I thought pink sweater is on the roof of the car, not walking up to it and swinging her head around upside down. Got me when I realized what was happening.
I think shit like that loses its effectiveness when the movie starts to explain the phenomenon, which this movie will probably do. The scariest piece of media I ever watched is the music video for black hole sun by soundgarden. It doesn't explain shit, it just starts like a dream and soon turns into a nightmare where plastic american faces distort with smiles until scorching heath melts everything and people see their loved ones get suck into air and woman sees her baby turn into levitating piece of goo.
And the title sounds like they were stoned, saw a picture of a solar eclipse and said "dude it looks like the sun is a black hole, like a black hole sun".
The song isnt really about anything, just about vague negative feelings like many grunge lyrics. The whole video was some directors idea, probably had a shitton of money to throw on experimental cgi as music videos were the king of media back then
It's the same video that they put in other videos as ads, so they count all the views even when people didn't want to see it. That's why it has the 5-second version of the trailer at the start, so you see the movie's title before you can skip the ad.
>it's because men always tell women to "smile more" baka.
Is this an American thing? Because I've literally never seen or heard anyone I know or anyone around me in a public place say that.
I'm a guy and lots of gay guys have told me that but women tell me that all the time too, especially older women. Conversely, I have not heard someone say that to a woman unless there's already conflict and it's meant to be a dig, so I don't think I've heard it ever said like Twitter thinks it should happen.

No it doesn't you dumbshit zoomer. You underage morons are so fricking stupid, seriously. You can't pick up new words just from context. Same reason why you dumbfricks all think 'based' just means 'cool'. It doesn't and you're all fricking stupid as shit. I was never half as dumb as you c**ts are when I was a kid.

wow this looks fricking stupid. it's like the 'zoomer' trend of taking something mundane but putting it in an out of context situation and that makes it totally hecking scary and bone chilling.
>taking something mundane but putting it in an out of context situation and that makes it totally hecking scary and bone chilling.
That was being done way before zoomers.
The Blair Witch Project did that with the even more mundane thing of someone standing with their back to you. I mean, a basic, ancient scary thing is there being a face at the window, probably in your bedroom. In a basic way, it's just a person looking at you but that can be one of the most unsettling things in certain contexts.
>it's like the 'zoomer' trend of taking something mundane but putting it in an out of context situation
You're aware this was a thing since the days of Sigmund fricking Freud right? "The familiar made strange"? I think you're the zoomer.

Yeah, really.
So many horror movies are [I saw something] [I did something] and now its passed onto me, let's research the past victims and try to figure it out.
It seems alright as a flick to watch with friends but this trope is tiresome
The way you phrase things it sounds like you haven't interacted with a human in the same room since you were put in solitary confinement for biting one of the nurses.
>NOOOOOO BIRDS CAN'T JUST ATTACK YOU FOR NO REASON!
They are not dogs, they actually need a reason to attack.
Avian master race is not some filthing noggerman or nogbull-terrier.
I'll be honest, I can't even bring myself to watch the trailer. That kind of thing is really unsettling to me. I know the tone your reacting to it is that it's some zoomer trash but it reminds me of a Junji Ito story.
no i am, loved uzumaki and hellstar remina i just dont get the comparison. i know tone is impossible to convey 100% through text but it was a genuine question because i feel like im missing something
i mean i could see it vaguely reminding you of one beautifully illustrated page in a story of his that makes this look like mozarella baked shit but idk seems reaching. more like you WANT it to remind you of junji ito

For me it's the fact that Ito stuff often has things that aren't really a direct threat (e.g. like being trapped in a room with a lion) but are actually things that potentially aren't even a threat at all. It's just unsettling. Like all the people travelling to the mountain to fit through the hole until they become stretched out and deformed. You're not thinking "Oh no, I hope I don't have an urge to go to a weird hole in a mountain and squeeze in!" or "Oh no, I hope I don't see spirals everywhere - I hate spirals!"
It's just a weird thing that makes you uncomfortable in a way that's hard to shake. The far end of the spectrum from a slasher movie where it's like "wouldn't it be bad to be stabbed to death?" Yes, yes it would. I alrea0gsmkdy knew that, though.

just download 3-4 best horrors and watch them all in a row. I was a pussy like you for 27 years of my life but then I torrented every movie I was afraid of and marathoned through them. You fear the unknown.
I think it looks decent but since we're ripping on it for unoriginality, they stole the premise of the only survivor hiding in prison/mental hospital from death/smiling demon. I do kinda wanna see how Mr Smiley gets the guy in prison though.
The trailer looks terrifying. Can't wait. It'll probably be one of those modern horror masterpieces that Cinemaphile unjustly hates, like The Babadook.
the babadook was fricking terrible though. like laughably bad. people defending it kept saying it was a good movie just because it used symbolism but the symbolism was ham fisted obvious shit and the horror elements fell flatter than a crepe
I thought it was better than Get Out, another film that's not that good but gets overrated because of a meta element like symbolism or message. Get Out wasn't scary at all, not even a little creepy. The Babadook didn't particularly scare me but I wouldn't want to watch it at 2AM on my own, tbh. Get Out, well that'd be as scary as watching Paul Blart: Mall Cop at 2AM.
Babadook was legitimately creepy at times. Get Out wasn't actually even a horror. It was more like >Ahhh shiieet das right I do be feelin uncomfortable around wypipo!
Because they know they're living life how it's meant to be lived rather than imprisoning themselves in a cage of virtue signalling and sacrificing their happiness for others.
OHHH MY GOD TH-THEY ARE SMILING TOO MUCH AHHHHHHHHH!

Wtf is this??
Ngl this spooked me bros
I thought pink sweater is on the roof of the car, not walking up to it and swinging her head around upside down. Got me when I realized what was happening.
this was more spooky and unsettling then i was expecting
i have hopes for this
I hope there's better scares, the one in the trailer shouldn't have been spoiled.
Hilarious
Cringe
So it's Ring but with smiles?

It's about heroin. If it's a Soundgarden song, it's about heroin
And the title sounds like they were stoned, saw a picture of a solar eclipse and said "dude it looks like the sun is a black hole, like a black hole sun".
The song isnt really about anything, just about vague negative feelings like many grunge lyrics. The whole video was some directors idea, probably had a shitton of money to throw on experimental cgi as music videos were the king of media back then

Damn... it's because men always tell women to "smile more" baka. This might be a horror trailer to you, but to us this is literally reality.
>it's because men always tell women to "smile more" baka.
Is this an American thing? Because I've literally never seen or heard anyone I know or anyone around me in a public place say that.
Women look way hotter when they're smiling unless you're super into cold b***hes and some guys think it's smart to basically tell them this.
It's one of those imaginary feminist scenarios they haven't retired yet, like whistling construction workers.
I'm a guy and lots of gay guys have told me that but women tell me that all the time too, especially older women. Conversely, I have not heard someone say that to a woman unless there's already conflict and it's meant to be a dig, so I don't think I've heard it ever said like Twitter thinks it should happen.
>2022 AD
>Movies are still ripping off The Ring and changing minor details
>Haha, don't you get it? It's a creepy smile! It's not normal. It's spoopy and edgy! 😀
Looks ok. Don't really give a frick what morons on Cinemaphile think, I'll probably watch this and enjoy it.
>Don't really give a frick what morons on Cinemaphile think
if it were true, you wouldn't have mentioned it
this is literally "old lady in the walls" level of bullshit

AAAAAAAAAAHH GOD HELLLP MEEEEE
not sure why but this got me shaken bros fr no cap
Why did something this stupid scare me so much bros. How do I stop being such a baby that gets scared by everything? I just want to be brave.
everything is so fricking soulless and lame now because it all caters to soulless and lame women
Why are all the smiling people white? What are they trying to say?
and i thought horror couldnt get any shittier at this point lmao
>Wtf is this??
Being told to smile be strangers who think you're pretty is... le scary!
kinda excited to see this ngl
i enjoyed it follows, this seems like that
Honestly, that would scare the living shit out of me, but the movie looks dumb.
All these movies about seeing something and being driven insane by it seem like they are prepping us for something
That's been a horror trope forever, the cause of the smiling shit is probably a demon, parasite, or some kind of sickness.

not sure what hole you crawled out of but that looks like the english language

>So it's (the movie) It Follows?
It was perfectly understandable for people raised with the English language esl.
Smiles are creepy. That's why I never smile.
Me on bottom right
cheebze.
bared teeth is a sign of hostility. if someone you barely know or a stranger smiles at you, be on guard
We're human beings, not dogs. I'm not going to be on guard because someone smiled at me.
t. never been in any even mildly cutthroat social circle

I'll be honest, I can't even bring myself to watch the trailer. That kind of thing is really unsettling to me. I know the tone your reacting to it is that it's some zoomer trash but it reminds me of a Junji Ito story.
> a Junji Ito story.
That's exactly what I thought of.
really? junji ito? how?
You aren't familiar with his work?
no i am, loved uzumaki and hellstar remina i just dont get the comparison. i know tone is impossible to convey 100% through text but it was a genuine question because i feel like im missing something
A shittier imitation of junkie ito is what they meant
I think it's the smiling and the whole neck stretching thing, seems like something he'd do and has done before.
i mean i could see it vaguely reminding you of one beautifully illustrated page in a story of his that makes this look like mozarella baked shit but idk seems reaching. more like you WANT it to remind you of junji ito

The trailer looks terrifying. Can't wait. It'll probably be one of those modern horror masterpieces that Cinemaphile unjustly hates, like The Babadook.
I agree. I think people are being to hard on this movie and are jumping to conclusions.
Eh, I feel like the trailer might be stronger than the movie but it looks interesting enough. Better than It Follows, which I hated.
Gay. moronic.
