Is there an alternate ending to Smile?
In the end, Smile has all three of those endings. Rose brutally stabs a terrified patient to death at her hospital in front of her screaming boss, Morgan (Kal Penn). But that turns out to be a dream she's having while passed out in her car in front of the hospital, and she flees the hospital and Morgan in horror.
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.
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.
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.
It could be theorized that due to its difference in behavior, Smile's entity is a collector of souls, quickly consuming its victims and moving to the next, only gaining more strength with each one. A moment between Rose and the entity in Smile supports this theory, as it tells Rose that she will stay with it forever.
There's obviously a reason why the smile demon appears as a giant, looming depiction of Rose's Mom during the final act. One of the most unsettling moments in "Smile" takes place just before that when Rose's trusted therapist, Dr. Northcott (Robin Weigert) reveals herself to be the demon.
In the movie Smile, the demon uses past trauma as a weapon to latch itself on to its host, eventually killing them. The only way from the host to survive is to kill someone with a witness, so the demon latches itself on to the witness.
With a shard of a broken plant pot, the monster controlling Laura proceeds to cut open her neck open, killing herself in the process right in front of Rose, as her body falls still smiling. As the monster who haunted her is now haunting Rose.
Due to its success, the horror film "Smile", starring Sosie Bacon, will have a sequel. Director Parker Finn is currently developing "Smile 2". The horror film Smile, directed by Parker Finn and starring Sosie Bacon, released in France on September 28, 2022, will be getting a sequel.
Titled “Laura Hasn't Slept,” the short is very much in the same vibe as Smile and showcases much of the same foreboding cinematography and spine-tingling suspense beats.
Nineteen of those people took their own life within four to seven days after witnessing someone else die by suicide. In hopes of learning how she can save herself, she visits Robert Talley (Rob Morgan), the only person who has managed to stay alive after encountering the grinning demon.
We learn that the young Rose allowed her mother to die rather than call for help because she was both afraid and angry with her mother. The demon believes this long-repressed revelation will paralyze Rose with guilt, making the task of subduing and overtaking her easier.
The monster in Smile is a humanoid creature who has a huge grin, many jaws, and no skin. The monster essentially eats people and then those people become part of their body.
Finn says the face at 1:48:20 is a “true look at the evil thing that's been hiding behind all the smiles.” They called the entity Lollipop — thus explaining the use of The Chordettes' “Lollipop” at the start of the end credits — and this is what happens at the end of every cycle as the beast physically enters the ...
Rose begins experiencing hallucinations induced by the demon. Shortly after, she has trouble finding her cat, Mustache, and its tragic fate is revealed during her nephew's birthday party. The boy opens Rose's present to discover her cat's dead body.
“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.
With the colors, we wanted to do something unusual.

So my production designer, Lester Cohen, and I, really grabbed onto that.
