Watch Send Help! 
Absolutely don't watch the trailers!
Don't even try to get a hint what the movie is about!
I was hooked from start to finish.
I absolutely didn't know what genre or the direction the movie was going to go!!

It's finally streaming.

I have to admit, though, I'm a bit disappointed.

While it's a decent movie, it didn't quite live up to my expectations, especially considering the listed genres and the poster, which I found a little misleading.

I was hoping for something fresh, but it felt rather familiar. They do try to subvert expectations, but for me, it ultimately falls a bit short. It's a good film and worth a watch, but I wasn't completely blown away.

I expected more from Sam Raimi; his earlier film, Drag Me to Hell, is superior.

Project Hail Mary. It was great.

You would expect to see horror stuff, but you would be surprised.

It gets very emotional and at times it's funny.

The movie mostly relied on practical effects.

The Housemaid is actually a pretty good movie.

Slow but entertaining. 

Better than Send Help.

Smile is a surprisingly good horror film, not as silly as its title and poster might suggest. It’s well-written, well-acted, and has the kind of dramatic structure I enjoy in movies. I’ve heard the sequel is even better, so I’m really looking forward to watching it.

Another interesting horror film I’ve seen, though not nearly as good as Smile, is The Autopsy of Jane Doe. The concept is intriguing, but it doesn’t quite reach its full potential—still worth a watch.

Smile 2 is also incredible. I'm not sure if it's better than the first, but it's certainly wilder in places, and I really enjoyed it. The concept is brilliant and it's executed so well. I'd gladly watch Smile 3, 4, 5, and 6! It should become a whole franchise, just like Saw, Final Destination, and Scream. This concept has so much potential.

Not a movie but the wire is a fucking great show
