So no, Rose does not survive in Smile and even worse, it seems the curse has found a way to keep itself going, with Joel now presumably set to be its next victim. Smile is currently playing in UK cinemas.
She pours it on herself and lights a match. After spending our time seeing things from Rose's perspective, often in uncomfortably closeup shots, we see her final moments through Joel's eyes, who can't look away despite his horror. The curse has now been passed on to him.
She then takes her own life in front of Joel, effectively passing the curse on to him. The Smile ending closes as the camera focuses on Rose's death being reflected in Joel's terrified eye, showing that her fate will continue to happen to other people.
Fully possessed by the demon, Rose douses herself in gasoline and sets herself on fire — just as the real Joel bursts inside her home and witnesses her death, becoming the next victim.
In the final act of the film, Dr. Rose Cotter, the protagonist portrayed by Sosie Bacon, realizes that she has to be alone when the monster finally comes for her. While she ultimately fails to kill the beast, as was her plan, she very nearly finds a way to stop its havoc once and for all.
After all the death, pain, and heartbreak, the ending left us with little peace of mind as we travelled from the rainy streets of Bolton, England to Tokyo, Japan. There, we happened upon another group of friends whose worlds were about to change forever.
Then Jaya (Ashna Rabheru) deletes Red Rose and all its evidence, and they are relieved their ordeal is finally over. But the thriller offers one final twist, as Jaya is heading back to be reunited with the rest of the gang, she meets the real Gardener (Harrie Hayes), and it's a woman.
So once the psychiatrist started to suffer from similar hallucinations, Rose decided to investigate what was really going on. As it turns own, Rose is cursed by trauma, which in Smile is represented by a shapeshifting apparition that scares its victim until their mind is shattered.
The trauma of her mother's illness and death also affects the major relationships in her life, both with Holly and with her fiancé, Trevor (Jessie T. Usher), who was looking at Rose with skepticism long before her strange behavior began.
Smile clearly wants the audience to see the connection between Rose's curse and mental illness. Throughout the movie, characters use therapy buzzwords and often suggest that Rose's mental state is a result of her genetics and past trauma.
Rose doesn't and, ultimately, that patient takes her own life right in front of her. Soon after, Rose starts having visions of a smile entity herself. It's that simple; witness someone who's infected take their own life, and you wind up with the curse yourself.
It is a demonic entity responsible for an ongoing series of gruesome murders, which it facilitates through a “curse” which passes from victim to victim in a “chain” stretching back to an unknown beginning.
The ending of the film is particularly sad since it proves that as soon as Joel agrees to help Rose figure out what's happening, he isn't able to extract himself from her, and he will never break free.
After laying waste to the Paladins, he takes Morgana into his arms and teleports them both to parts unknown. In the final sequence of the episode, Iris, her face scarred by Merlin's lightning, is inducted into the Holy Trinity's ranks as a warrior of God.
At least seven hours of moisture: Extended periods of moisture are the primary culprit of black spots. When moisture like leftover water or morning dew sits on rose leaves and stems for longer than seven hours, the plants become highly susceptible to the disease.
As Joel walks in, Rose is wearing that familiar creepy smile and has covered herself in gasoline – about to light a match. So no, Rose does not survive in Smile and even worse, it seems the curse has found a way to keep itself going, with Joel now presumably set to be its next victim.
The people around Rose, including Trevor, her therapist Dr. Northcott (Robin Weigert), her boss Dr. Desai (Kal Penn), and her sister Holly (Gillian Zinzer), certainly seem to think the problem is more neurochemical than supernatural—that is, until it's way too late.
Rose McGowan has been feeling “deeply sad and very low” in recent weeks. The 47-year-old actress took to her Instagram Story on Thursday (03.06. 21) to share a candid post about her mental health in which she admitted she has been struggling with her depression recently, which has left her feeling drained.
What happened to Rose's father? The film's opening sequence pans across a series of portraits of Rose's family, with her mother, father, and her sister Holly all happy together. Then Rose's father disappears from the pictures. It's unclear whether he died or abandoned the family.
“You have wounds that never fully healed,” says Madeline, but Rose has already self-diagnosed: She is suffering, she insists, from “fleeting moments of stress-induced hallucinations.” This diagnosis comes along with a proposed solution. Rose demands a prescription for Risperdal, an oral antipsychotic medication.
Netflix's Red Rose did not have one single villain, instead utilizing multiple villainous characters. However, the Gardener was behind the killings of both Roch and Alyssa, making them a relentless and frightening foe to Wren and her friends.
They link Red Rose to Alyssa, then link Alyssa to her classmate Jacob (Charlie Hiscock), who died around that time — and who wrote the original code for Red Rose. At first, Jacob designed Red Rose so he could learn more about Alyssa and, eventually, get her to fall for him.
In the season finale, viewers find out that the person who created the Red Rose app is Jacob, a schoolboy who creates the app to spy on someone. In the first episode, viewers witness Alyssa's death, and it is her who Jacob is obsessed with.
