What's the BEST Horror Flick you saw this spooky season?? - *Barbarian Movie Reaction:* ua-cam.com/video/vOWR7FmqV-8/v-deo.html - Leave A *LIKE & SUBSCRIBE* ua-cam.com/users/TheReelRejects - Full Length Reaction Watch Along & MORE *For Sexy Rejects:* www.patreon.com/thereelrejects
I saw a lot of people saying that the trailer came off quite cheesy. But damn the whole time I was sat in the cinema, I was on the edge of my seat. It’s the atmosphere that really got to me. Once I got home I couldn’t stand or even look at the dark parts of my house 🤣
I liked the movie, just when the the final demon was shown I couldn’t take it too seriously with them perfect ass teeth haha but overall I enjoyed the movie
SAME!! i was so on edge the entire movie, and i actually went to go see it in theatres with my brother.. during the ending he actually physically jumped and let out a little scream too LOL. i know that many people say the ending or just the trailer in general was cheesy, but i thought it was pretty well done!!
yeah the trailer made the movie seem corny and like a typical horror, when I saw the trailer in the movies. the movie itself, even from watching the reactions, is very scary. LoL
@@DanielFernandez-gv6iy I think that’s kinda the point tho, not too mention it was pretty much just based on the look of her mother. I’d love to see the demon creature in another movie in another persons form. Would look so cool
Something people wouldn’t know, but me working in a movie theater, the soundtrack for the credits is one of the creepiest things about the movie, especially being in a large theater in the middle of the night by yourself cleaning, it’s so insanely creepy
I work at Icon Theaters and I had that same feeling, and one time when I was cleaning the theater some girls were screaming when they were listening to the music, I found that so funny though.
This is the first horror movie in a very long time that actually shook me to my core. I have an irrational fear of physiological trauma so that being a key theme of this absolutely scared the crap out of me. It's my favorite horror film of the year that scared me while Barberian is my favorite horror that was a fun time.
The comment about how it’s been a while since you’ve felt that bad about someone in a horror movie couldn’t be more accurate. Such solid acting by Sosie Bacon. The editing, cinematography (great shots), and even the jump scares are so well done. This movie is so much better than you’d expect.
Honestly, rather than a sequel, I would like to see a prequel. Maybe an origin story explaining what it is and where it came from etc. Could be very interesting.
@@northwind2538 I was so mad they gave that in the trailer, that would have an amazing fresh reaction in a theater full of people! But honestly this movie is the only one I’ll give passes to the jumpscares just because of how original in design some of them are
I actually teared up watching this movie but not because I was scared, I was moved by the protagonist and the trauma she had to go through and how she couldn't overcome it to get the "happy ending". It just felt very cruel and real. And if I had PTSD myself I wouldn't have been able to watch it but I hope it's a cathartic experience for people with PTSD.
The actress who played Rose was in 13 Reasons Why and daughter of Kevin Bacon. And yes, the replaying the audio jumpscare was the only jumpscare that got me. I was also too focused on figuring out what were the words that were whispered that it caught me off guard. Really well done.
I'm glad the sister at the car scene hit so hard for you guys, they put that shit in the trailer, thankfully I didn't see the trailer before I saw the movie but afterwards I eventually the trailer and saw they did that. I was pissed like why ruin that for people it's SUCH an effective shot.
23:36 not to sound sadistic but I'm so happy you watched the movie without watching the trailer because they put the best jumpscare in the freaking trailer. Loved your reactions!!
I liked the movie a lot until the final monster reveal and when the final form of the demon was shown it shook me so much I found the film to be genuinely unnerving. The way it smiles and how it’s eyes are places and how it came to Rose while menacingly smiling is not an image I’ll forget for a long time. I regretted sitting in the front rows.
This movie is what Blumhouse's Truth or Dare SHOULD'VE been. Yes, it's creepy and scary (LOTS of jump scares), but it also delves into deeper themes like unresolved family issues (especially from a broken home), substance abuse, emotional trauma, holding onto guilt (especially at such a young age), mental health, and not being able to get the help you desperately need/want, which made the movie much more relatable and thematically impactful. I felt TERRIBLE for Susie Bacon's character and was actively rooting for her to kill this entity and be free from it once and for all. But, unfortunately, it took her too and the cycle continues with her poor friend who was just trying to help her.
Tbh the jump scares in this movie is how jump scares should be. Theyre ones that actually get the characters and are realistic. Also a good few jump scares that we’re really unexpected like the “ROSE” and the double scare of the alarm plus the phone calls bc you don’t expect so many in a row that it gets you. Also the immediate cuts of from scenes work so well. Not to mention many of the jump scares have eerie scenes just before so you expect it to just be that scary scene but then boom scare. So good
I seen this movie in theaters pretty packed but the reactions were priceless lol this is the kind of movie for the theaters. Sound design as great and made the whole vibe of the movie creepy and you really do feel for the main character.
Nooo frrr somehow I didn’t realize that the therapist was the thing but dang I gotta say the 3 worst things were the cat birthday scene. The sister going to the car and putting down her head like that😭😭east I knew it was coming cause the trailer but Noo. And the worst thing is at the end when she put her face apart and It like went inside like huh💀😭
This is the one horror movie that I had my hands over my eyes the ENTIRE time in the theater, movie ended I was shaking and was so scarred, and normally horror movies don't hit me THAT badly.
I watched this the other day. I went in with low expectations but was pleasantly surprised at how scary it was. I’m pretty desensitized to horror but this one got me good.
I tried to scroll through all the comments to see if any addressed the identity of the guy in jail who beat it. If I missed it, my apologies. The actor looked familiar to me as well, and I found out why. His name is Rob Morgan, and he played the gun dealer in the Netflix Marvel series, DD, Punisher, and the others. I think he made appearances in all of them actually.
i literally just watched this with my mom last night lmao I'm not a big horror movie fan but this one was really good! "i swear to god that cat better not die" that was me. i just knew. and then i immediately knew what was in the box. and my mom yelled at me as if i had jinxed it LMAO
My mom would have said, "THANK your aunt for the present! Be polite." Then we'd all freak out at the dead cat. Years later it would have been family saying, "remember that time our aunt gave you a dead cat for your birthday?"
john’s reaction at the smile 4:38…so good hahaha! this film genuinely got under my skin…and no horror movie does! I’ve even had nightmares about that smile haha! nothing too big of course, but still!
Me whenever I see someone in this movie smile: "Stop that..." Lmao, I really want a loop of Rose freaking out when the phone jumpscares her after that creepy. Your "Face...OFF."comment was hilarious. 23:37 was pretty much my reaction too. I also said "ASSHOLE!"at the top of my lungs, as I usually do when a jumpscare happens, lol.
I love that you reference the 1408 movie. This and 1408 are two of my favorite psychological horrors because they both utilize the theme of trauma and un-dealt with mental illness to tell a story about a supernatural phenomenon that is only believed by the protagonist when they actually experience it.
This was one of my most pleasant surprises this year. I was really happy how this movie turned out. I was skeptical about it originally, but heard such good word of mouth, I was excited to check it out and I thought it was great. Had elements of other movies, but it stood on its own. I have heard people taking issue with the ending because they feel it says that you can't escape trauma and you're doomed to be haunted by it, but I don't think it's that cynical or literal. I think the ending is saying that you need to deal with your trauma early and with help. Rose tried to deal with her trauma too late and she still tried to do it on her own.
This really reminded me of the time I watched 'Fallen' with Denzel Washington. An entity switchin bodies, tryin to kill it by going to a remote/abandoned place. What makes 'Fallen' better is the ending and how it connects to ... won't spoil it for those who would like to see it :D
I've seen a ton of horror films, and I have to say Smile is by far among the creepiest of them. As in, ones that personally shook me to the bottom of the core. There was just something about this film that really made me extremely uncomfortable. Perhaps it's the daytime jumpscares or the messed up music or the monster's design, but I was genuinely surprised at how scary this film was for me personally. I usually don't scream out loud when I watch horror, but this got me doing that lol. So imagine The Ring, It Follows, Sinister, and IT, with some bits of originality and creativity that form a horrifying whole. That's Smile for you!
This movie was super creepy and intense. Didn’t expect it to be that crazy. It was great especially that ending like Jesus Christ man 😳😳😳. Great reaction guys!
Wish you guys would watch ‘Girl Interrupted’, it’s about a young woman in the 80’s going to a psych ward for a suicide attempt, and getting diagnosed with BPD and that whole journey that came with it. It’s starring Angelina Jolie, Whoopi Goldberg, and Wynona Rider. It’s not a ‘horror’ movie but it’s a ‘thriller drama’ 🎭
When Laura says “it looks like my Grandfather who died in front of me when I was seven” is excellent foreshadowing since Rose saw her own Mother die which tells us the curse is being passed on. I’ve definitely picked up on more details the more I watch it
31:18 I don't know why but that moment just made me cackle, like Kal Penn's character didn't want to be left out so he started doing that like "Hey Look! Me Too!"
Lol, I shouted "Asshole!"when the "sister"put her smile upside down at the car. I do really want a loop of the main getting jumpscared by the phone ringing(after the entity calls her at the house as the "alarm person"). Just a repeated thing of the phone ringing and it's still the hallucination, XD
The Smile Demon’s face is the thing of nightmares for me. The first time I saw the reveal of it in the theaters, completely unaware it would happen, watching it unfold in front of me second by second, I genuinely felt like I was staring into the face of Hell itself. Absolute masterpiece of horror.
6 months pregnant and I decided to see this in the theatre cause I’m a genius 😑 to be fair I was told that it wasn’t that scary and it needed more jump scares. Starting to think that person was trolling me. Nearly peed myself. But I love horror movies and I didn’t wanna miss this one lol.
I really liked the blue room opening scene. I liked how the flower pot wasn’t closed in on and was rather used as a focal point to emphasis its importance and later use
Same! Lmao that jumpscare made me jump when I watched it because most jumpscares are usually so predictable but that one got me because it was so unexpected, same with the car one which I thought was the best jumpscare but sadly the trailer spoils the jumpscare and unfortunately ruined the jumpscare for a lot of people
the girl acting as Laura Weaver was franky from an australia kids show called sleepover club { Season 1} in which she stared alongside the main actress from the 100
I really thought this was going to be a Truth Or Dare remake and I expected it to be terrible. I'm so happy I couldn't have been more wrong. 2022 has been fantastic in the horror department.
Smile was so good and the short film based on it (Laura Hasn’t Slept) is really good too. I love that they used the same actress and character from the short film as the same character we see die in the beginning of the movie in the hospital scene.
I actually really liked this movie…except for the ending. Like I liked how she died and it passed on to the ex, but I felt like the monster was a little funny or weird. I also felt like I’ve seen the monster before. I also felt like the presence of not knowing what it actually is was the scary part and it got diminished when the monster was revealed.
@@itzelwisteria1819 well yeah. I kinda of get that, but I felt like the entity was the embodiment of all trauma, of all mental illness. I thought it was going to be something like the shadowy drawings of a smile that the guy, Gabriel munoz I believe, drew before he died. But for some it worked for some it didn’t. I still liked the movie overall.
I just watched this yesterday. Omg heartbreaking. The actress that played Rose she was amazing 🤩 and omg that birthday scene disturbed me..omggggg Mustache that was painful .I wish it would've ended with the house just burning down ughhhhhh
I actually liked the ending they went with. Trauma never fully goes away. It can be maintained, but it'll always linger. I thought it was the more thematically sound ending personally
I watched this alone at home. I’m usually pretty good watching horror but I was actually on the edge of my couch for 90% of the movie. I really enjoyed it
Only part in the movie I feel is weak is at the beginning when the young woman is being evaluated by Rose. Why would there be anything breakable which could be used as a weapon, like that vase, in a mental health facility? And in the same freaking room where she's speaking to patients/mentally disturbed potential patients, it makes no sense. In fact that girl going there was a smart idea because you'd think in a mental hospital there wouldn't be easy access or any at all to harmful objects that the smile demon could force you to use to kill yourself. Yet that's exactly what happens.
wtf… i just clicked off of paramount getting done watching this. then i get this notification. honestly i thought the first half was pretty cliche, but the ending (SPOILER) where it jukes you into thinking she got to his apartment, really got me
i loved this movie SO much. The score drew me in immediately, it's my favorite thing about it. The fact that it's almost all practical effects is so impressive and refreshing, too.
Just finished it myself and god damn that was FAR better than I thought it would be. The ways it touched on psychological trauma was genuinely fantastic and some of the imagery was just down right terrifying.
this movie definitely reminded me of Hereditary: amazing subtle background scares heavy, deep, touchy subjects as plot points trauma is basically the monster/killer
I wonder how that wife felt, the one who kicked Rose out. I wonder how she felt when she heard Rose was dead a couple days later. I wonder how everyone who called her crazy and didn’t believe her felt. Even with literal evidence, so easy to find it took the ex ten minutes tops, nobody believed any of them. The pattern is so obvious that every victim has found it within a week, and nobody even cares enough to try.
Horror movies don’t generally scare me, but when the Smile Entity showed it’s true face, I didn’t just sh*t bricks, I sh*t out a whole damn brick wall.
Rob Morgan is the guy in the jail…not Michael K. Williams…smh…Rob Morgan was in Stranger Things & Daredevil tv show…The main character is Kevin Bacon’s daughter…lol…it’s so fun watching y’all btw…love your facial expressions when you’re scared…😂😂😂

If the movie nope is one,then it's Nope
I've yet to see Barbarian movie. But for me my top 3 are: Smile, Prey for the Devil and X
The main actress her father is Kevin Bacon.

The trailer was good. I knew since the moment i saw the teaser trailer this movie was gonna be good
@@nibs_777 I’m happy I didn’t watch the trailer prior cause after watching the trailer they gave out way too much
Trailer gave me truth or dare vibes and TOD was a terrible movie. Glad this one outshined it
a lot worse actually. the ending was so stupid. it felt like a disney channel halloween special.
Something people wouldn’t know, but me working in a movie theater, the soundtrack for the credits is one of the creepiest things about the movie, especially being in a large theater in the middle of the night by yourself cleaning, it’s so insanely creepy
No but for real! I work and amc and you're not wrong
I worked at Regal and had the same experience, never swept so fast in years.
Me and my friend ran out the theatre when that music hit lmao
I work at Icon Theaters and I had that same feeling, and one time when I was cleaning the theater some girls were screaming when they were listening to the music, I found that so funny though.
I know it may had a post credit scene or some shit but i just left when the lollipop song start, that song was a bad omen

It’s not irrational. Many people stay single for that very reason.
I was the biggest whip because I was alone in the theater by myself.
@@leehall686 been reporting this shit constantly and it always seems to be targeting me and a few others here in the comments allot.
Me too
"Let's put a permanent smile on that face." This is the very definition of a psychological horror film
The joker would be proud
Almost a Colombian necktie
Batman collab lol
Its wondering if The smile Demon could/couldn’t affect someone like Joker or Palpatine?

Apparently there is already a prequel. It's a short film that the director did but I forgot what the name of it. Search it up tho!
@@coolboss999 it’s called Laura Hasn’t Sleep
@@untitledonpurpose There u go. But still there is already prequel technically ep the only way forward is a sequel.
@@coolboss999 I do not want one haha. This movie is great as a stand-alone.
Didn’t go in with high expectations but came out really liking it. Genuinely was horrified when the demon showed it’s true face
I don’t think it was it’s true face
@@superkakaroto21that’s facts all I know that shii was weird and cool too lol
It's face was just soooo wrong it freaked me out and I've been watching horror since I was a wee babe.
@@31webseries it had way to many jaws and it having no skin was genuinely a horrifying thing to see.
Mf looks like Vecna's deranged cousin from Ohio or some shit.
13:10 that jumpscare was clever. highly chance we're not expecting it, yet it made us so focus 😂
As opposed to the Holly one, arguably the best jumpscare in the movie, BEING SPOILED BY THE DAMN TRAILER. I hate trailermakers so much.
@@northwind2538 I was so mad they gave that in the trailer, that would have an amazing fresh reaction in a theater full of people! But honestly this movie is the only one I’ll give passes to the jumpscares just because of how original in design some of them are

6 months pregnant and I decided to see this in the theatre cause I’m a genius 😑 to be fair I was told that it wasn’t that scary and it needed more jump scares. Starting to think that person was trolling me. Nearly peed myself. But I love horror movies and I didn’t wanna miss this one lol.
People saying that it’s not that scary have no soul
I really liked the blue room opening scene. I liked how the flower pot wasn’t closed in on and was rather used as a focal point to emphasis its importance and later use
Kinda cool since Kevin Bacon has been doing all these horror movies lately and now his daughter is the star of one
The lead Sosie Bacon was in 13 reasons why, she's also kevin bacon's daughter
Rose is played by Sosie Bacon, daughter of Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick. Been a fan for a while, she's also in 13 Reasons Why and Narcos: Mexico.
the birthday party scene is so sad, rose's reaction is absolutely heartbreaking.
The sister jumpscare got me good. The interview with the prisoner scene gave me goosebumps as well
That "ROSE" jump scare got me good too haha!
Same! Lmao that jumpscare made me jump when I watched it because most jumpscares are usually so predictable but that one got me because it was so unexpected, same with the car one which I thought was the best jumpscare but sadly the trailer spoils the jumpscare and unfortunately ruined the jumpscare for a lot of people
5:14
John: "Drew that smile a little crooked there"
Damnit man! Not now 🤣🤣🤣
the girl acting as Laura Weaver was franky from an australia kids show called sleepover club { Season 1} in which she stared alongside the main actress from the 100
😂 You wrote "...she stared..." And I thought it was quite fitting 😂
Your reactions to the upside-down-head jumpscare were so funny lol
I really thought this was going to be a Truth Or Dare remake and I expected it to be terrible. I'm so happy I couldn't have been more wrong. 2022 has been fantastic in the horror department.
Hell nah this movie is terrible and way too predictable 💀
Smile was so good and the short film based on it (Laura Hasn’t Slept) is really good too. I love that they used the same actress and character from the short film as the same character we see die in the beginning of the movie in the hospital scene.
I actually really liked this movie…except for the ending. Like I liked how she died and it passed on to the ex, but I felt like the monster was a little funny or weird. I also felt like I’ve seen the monster before. I also felt like the presence of not knowing what it actually is was the scary part and it got diminished when the monster was revealed.
Wasn't the monster supposed to look like her mother but then it teared off its face as some kind of metaphor that it doesn't have a real identity?
@@itzelwisteria1819 well yeah. I kinda of get that, but I felt like the entity was the embodiment of all trauma, of all mental illness. I thought it was going to be something like the shadowy drawings of a smile that the guy, Gabriel munoz I believe, drew before he died. But for some it worked for some it didn’t. I still liked the movie overall.
@@john.c.munoz04 true, for me it kinda worked but I get your point too.
Yeah this movie is great and terrifying, but i dont really like the ending
The ending upset me too
The trailer scared tf out of me when I was watching Nope this summer. Idk how it was cheesy to people I was horrified.
40:27 the demons true form is truly nightmare.
9:04 Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedwick’s amazingly talented daughter!
When I saw the trailers I was hyped to see it. And it turned out the movie was even better than I thought it would be!
I LOVE this movie’s take on mental health
I just watched this yesterday. Omg heartbreaking. The actress that played Rose she was amazing 🤩 and omg that birthday scene disturbed me..omggggg Mustache that was painful .I wish it would've ended with the house just burning down ughhhhhh
Yeah she is. It's actually Sosie Bacon, Kevin Bacons daughter lol. She can act so well!
I actually liked the ending they went with. Trauma never fully goes away. It can be maintained, but it'll always linger. I thought it was the more thematically sound ending personally
The jumpscare at 31:55 made me have the same reaction haha
All actors did wonderful job at that creepy smiling throughout the movie
Yup 13:15 that was the jump scare that got me so good
I watched this alone at home. I’m usually pretty good watching horror but I was actually on the edge of my couch for 90% of the movie. I really enjoyed it
Only part in the movie I feel is weak is at the beginning when the young woman is being evaluated by Rose. Why would there be anything breakable which could be used as a weapon, like that vase, in a mental health facility? And in the same freaking room where she's speaking to patients/mentally disturbed potential patients, it makes no sense. In fact that girl going there was a smart idea because you'd think in a mental hospital there wouldn't be easy access or any at all to harmful objects that the smile demon could force you to use to kill yourself. Yet that's exactly what happens.
Coming here after seeing Smile 2 in theatres. Now I wanna see u guys react to that insane film 😂
i watched this at Cinema, I walked after that film cold as hell, that was the most unnerving and disturbing film I've ever watched.
Can we just appreciate the music? Cristobal Tapia de Veer's music is ghoulish, haunting and creepy as hell.
13:13 my dude try to run out of his body 🤣🤣🤣
@24:00 😂 not Jackson catching strays Lmfaoo “spoiled little shit”
This movie was scary as hell never saw the trailer and now i'm here again seeing a reaction of it still scared .
wtf… i just clicked off of paramount getting done watching this. then i get this notification. honestly i thought the first half was pretty cliche, but the ending (SPOILER) where it jukes you into thinking she got to his apartment, really got me
Yeah it wasn’t super original but still a very good movie imo
It was totally what I predicted to be but I was still pleased with it. That's the kinda movie it is for me.
i loved this movie SO much. The score drew me in immediately, it's my favorite thing about it.
The fact that it's almost all practical effects is so impressive and refreshing, too.
This, insidious and lights out are the kinds of movies that freak me out.
You should have seen this in theatres 😂 the music alone was loud and creepy
6:42 famous last words
Just finished it myself and god damn that was FAR better than I thought it would be. The ways it touched on psychological trauma was genuinely fantastic and some of the imagery was just down right terrifying.
We need that Smile 2 reaction from THE TWO LEGENDS OF THE REEL REJECTS!!
this movie definitely reminded me of Hereditary:
amazing subtle background scares
heavy, deep, touchy subjects as plot points
trauma is basically the monster/killer
I wonder how that wife felt, the one who kicked Rose out. I wonder how she felt when she heard Rose was dead a couple days later. I wonder how everyone who called her crazy and didn’t believe her felt.
Even with literal evidence, so easy to find it took the ex ten minutes tops, nobody believed any of them. The pattern is so obvious that every victim has found it within a week, and nobody even cares enough to try.
That scene when she dreams of going in the hospital to kill the patient was the scariest scene of the year imo. Holy fuck!
Watching this movie lights off in the dark volume up pretty creepy feeling I got.. Very creepy movie I loved it.
I know righ, just did watch it in the dark and now I'm like wtf
Sosie Bacon is amazing in this! She’s also Kevin Bacons daughter
A moment of silence for Mustache the cat 😭
Horror movies don’t generally scare me, but when the Smile Entity showed it’s true face, I didn’t just sh*t bricks, I sh*t out a whole damn brick wall.
when you said the actress name I heard saucy bacon and I can't stop laughing
This movie was pretty creepy when I watched it in theaters
my 2nd favorite feeling while watching a movie after laughter being number 1 in a theatre
Honestly gives me some major Junji Ito vibes as well! Loved it ❤
This movie actually freaked me out which never happens I slept with the light on for the first time in years
Sosie Bacon is Kevin Bacon’s daughter. Also, Joel is played by the guy who was Bart Allen aka The Flash on Smallville.
Those smiles remind of old Aphex Twin Album covers. LOL The movies are very cool. Thanks, Parker Finn.
I watched it yesterday night and man, I am still terrified. 😱
No way you can cure all your trauma in 7 days while being tortured by your own trauma…..once the entity has you your done…
This movie was actually terrifying
Rob Morgan is the guy in the jail…not Michael K. Williams…smh…Rob Morgan was in Stranger Things & Daredevil tv show…The main character is Kevin Bacon’s daughter…lol…it’s so fun watching y’all btw…love your facial expressions when you’re scared…😂😂😂
I saw this in theaters at night and I didn’t sleep
I'll never forget my sister peeing her pants in the movie theater when that head did a 180 at the car 😂😂😂😭😭😭
