About this deal

Each of the main actors (and their characters) get some screen time here, and all of them provide some interesting interviews. Marisa Mirabal of IndieWire gave the film a grade of B−, noting its plot's similarities to films such as It Follows, The Ring, Oculus and Final Destination. Colour depth is good, and pushes naturality, but there is nothing to wow, even fire lacks a little heat, tending towards yellow.

Yet one more cunningly disarming tactic to keep us just a touch off kilter as we walk to the parking lot. The short movie later received a wide release as a bonus feature on the home video media release of Smile; Paramount marketed the feature as a " Smile original short film". Fantastic Fest Unveils 2022 Lineup, Featuring Smile, Anya Taylor-Joy's The Menu and Park Chan-wook Tribute". Thankfully, the film doesn’t get bogged down too much in the mystery side, choosing instead to keep the focus on the horrific visions that continue to haunt Rose as her grip on reality unravels. The point being, this one works on a few levels and while there are better films out there (this one shares a lot with The Ring), give it a shot.A feature adaptation of Finn's short was announced in June 2020, and the cast was added in October 2021.
