Movies like Smile, ranked
1. Smile 2 (2024)
Smile 2 doubles down on director Parker Finn's signature blend of body horror and psychological unraveling, following another protagonist whose grip on reality fractures under the weight of unexplained supernatural torment and buried trauma.
2. Let's Talk About 'It' (English Burn-In) (2017)
A psychiatrist's descent into doubt mirrors the psychological unraveling in Smile, as both films weaponize professional skepticism against their protagonists while blurring the line between external threat and internal fracture.
3. Lend a Hand (2017)
When reality fractures through psychological torment, this film mirrors Smile's descent into doubt as a therapist confronts forces that shatter her professional credibility and sanity.
4. Let's Talk About 'It' (2017)
A psychiatrist's crumbling certainty in her own mind drives both films, as unexplainable supernatural torment forces each protagonist to question whether the horror is external threat or fractured psyche.
5. The Cell (2000)
The Cell's immersive descent into a disturbed mind mirrors Smile's exploration of psychological unraveling, as both films weaponize surreal, grotesque imagery to blur the line between external threat and internal fracture.
6. Inclusion Criteria (2017)
Inclusion Criteria uses the same unreliable protagonist framework where psychological deterioration and supernatural dread become indistinguishable, forcing viewers to question whether the horror stems from the mind or something genuinely malevolent.
7. The Suspect (2022)
Director Parker Finn uses unsettling sound design and body horror to blur reality and paranoia, much like The Suspect's exploration of how a psychologist's carefully constructed life fractures under psychological pressure.
8. Compound Fracture (2013)
The creeping dread builds through unreliable perception as a family member questions whether a loved one's escalating paranoia stems from genuine supernatural threat or psychological breakdown.
