Blood and gore is infrequent but when it happens there is lots of it. Only 2-3 main scenes that show it. The film contains scenes in which human characters and supernatural creatures are engaged in violent struggles which include stabbings and being set alight.
The movie focuses on mental health and trauma and it does that very well. Not for the easily rattled, lots of gore and jump-scares. I would not recommend for kids.
However, in a twist that is as agonizing and frightening as it is brilliant, we see that all this was just another hallucination induced by the monster. The most terrifying moment comes when you realize that she never beat it or escaped, and is still trapped in the house.
Smile is rated R by the MPAA for strong violent content and grisly images, and language. Violence: People are seen cutting, stabbing, and burning themselves and others. A dead cat is shown.
This film is far from as graphic and disturbing as Ari Aster's “Hereditary” and “Midsommar,” but there are still some disturbing scenes that make members of the audience want to plug their ears and squeeze their eyes shut. The jump scares are also intense but there aren't so many as to overdo it.

Trauma is very prevalent in this film. Rose, from the very beginning, is known to have experienced trauma as a child, seeing her mother overdose in front of her. That trauma is laced with guilt as she could have called for help in her mother's dying moments — but chose not to.

Sosie Bacon knew going into Smile that she would not be the Final Girl, as the Smile movie ending explained that there were no happy endings in this story. She even said she was glad the movie didn't have a happy ending (via THR).
The film is scary. The jump scares are terrifying. The shock-horror scenes are both haunting and gruesome, comparable to those in Ari Aster's blockbusters. But unlike, say, that scene in Midsommar, the moments of visual gore in Smile seem to actually propel the narrative, not just permanently disturb the viewer.
