It was a rough but fun shoot.
It’s hard to escape the creeping dread of Parker Finn’s new film Smile. Terrifying grinning faces are splashed across billboards and YouTube ads, while actors have been placed strategically at baseball games to scare attendees. Smile is everywhere, and now it’s finally hit theaters!
In Smile, psychiatrist Dr. Rose Cotter (Sosie Bacon) witnesses a traumatic event involving a patient. In the following days, strange and terrifying occurrences plague Rose. The only way to deal with the terror is to confront the ghosts of her past.
Dread Central sat down with stars Sosie Bacon, Jessie T. Usher, and Kyle Gallner to discuss preparing for such an intense film, self-care, and more.

Smile is playing now exclusively in theaters.
