In Smile, for example, the ending sequence in that abandoned house or whatever it was reduced an otherwise excellent horror film closer to its cheesy peers in my opinion.

I agree somewhat but want some kinda reveal. However, I think that the one in Smile was a bit off for whatever reason (just going by very faint memory haha).

I liked the ending of Smile. I thought it fit the movie.

From the movies listed above I also liked Barbarian, Doctor Sleep, Evil Dead Rise, and Black Phone.

This is flat-out the scariest move I've **ever** seen.

No blood. No ghosts. (Almost) no violence. Pretty much a study of evil hidden in plain sight.

And it literally freaked me out for YEARS.

It's called "The Vanishing" from 1988. You do NOT want to see the American version-- they ruined it. You want the one from 1988 that's Dutch/German/French with English subtitles.

It's dated, but won a bunch of awards in Europe. And obviously the premise was good enough that they "remade" it for American audiences (and completely destroyed the entire point of the movie in the process).

I watched it in the early '90's, and to this day I'm still somewhat freaked out by it.

The ending of Smile was perfectly fine for me.
I honestly would be pissed to not see a visualization of the antagonist of ANY horror flick.
FYI... Part 2 is in the works and will, as it should, delve into the origin of this entity or force.
Release date is later this year near Halloween.

It stars the extremely attractive IMO, Naomi Scott

Is that a criterion for you in horror movies, attractive leads?

Cool, would love a prequel of that.

Speaking of attractive damsels in distress...

Another movie and female lead I really like and anticipate.

The original Vanishing Point with Barry Newman.
Ex cop and race driver Kowalski on 'speed' tries to deliver a new Dodge from Denver to San Francisco in record time.

he's a few recommendations:
Talk To Me
Barbarian
Hellraiser 2022
Doctor Sleep
Evil Dead Rise
Black Phone
Wolf of Snow Hollow

Smile was one of the worst movies that I've seen in quite some time. Even my 16 yr old daughter, who loves horror movies, agreed.

Oh well. I stand by what I said. And it's highly acclaimed by critics and most folks who watched it.

I liked it. I’ve seen it twice already. Second time was with my daughter. She liked it too.

We’re all different and that’s what makes the world go round.

Late night watching Unhinged. Russell Crowe as a psychopath taking road rage a bit too far.

I am so I for this! The best cast I've seen together in a very long time... And it's a Guy Ritchie film on top of that!

....city would've been up to their eyeballs in lawsuits from all the crashes

That's actually what I initially thought too.

Actually that would be pretty clever marketing.
