With the curse seemingly over, she visits Joel in the Smile ending to apologize for pushing him out of her life. In what could be considered one of Smile's best reveals, however, Joel turns out to be the creature in disguise, revealing that Rose never actually left the house and is instead trapped in her own mind.
The ending of the 2022 horror movie Smile sees Joel (Kyle Gallner) arriving at Rose's childhood home and realizing that she is too far gone to help. Rose sees the monster, has a mental breakdown, and can't move. She truly and fully embodies the curse by starting a fire with her own body.
So, the entity uses Rose's body to pour gasoline all over the psychiatrist, lighting a match just as Joel comes through the door. Rose's body is smiling while she burns away, and we can see in Joel's eyes he will be scarred for life by that disturbing suicide.
The ending of the movie Smile reveals that Rose defeating and heading to Joel's place was all a hallucination. In reality, she's still in her childhood home and gets consumed by the entity. Joel tracks Rose and shows up at the house only to witness her burn herself to death, passing the curse on to him.
Joel breaks into the house and sees Rose's terrible smile at him. She sets herself on fire, and the movie ends with a close shot of Joel's eye, watching Rose burn. The movie ends at this moment. The natural ending of the plot is that Rose will die in front of Joel, and the curse will be passed to him.
In the end, Smile has all three of those endings. Rose brutally stabs a terrified patient to death at her hospital in front of her screaming boss, Morgan (Kal Penn). But that turns out to be a dream she's having while passed out in her car in front of the hospital, and she flees the hospital and Morgan in horror.
As Joel walks in, Rose is wearing that familiar creepy smile and has covered herself in gasoline – about to light a match. So no, Rose does not survive in Smile and even worse, it seems the curse has found a way to keep itself going, with Joel now presumably set to be its next victim.
The final image of the film is Rose's burning body reflected in the iris of Joel's eye, burning itself onto his psyche forever. Even though Rose did everything she was supposed to do — that we're supposed to do to process our own trauma — the monster still won.
The Smile Entity as it strangles Rose, and its most infamous quote. You can't escape your own mind, Rose. The Smile Entity, also called The Monstrosity or simply The Smile Demon, is the main antagonist of the 2020 horror short film Laura Hasn't Slept, as well as its 2022 film adaptation/sequel Smile.
Rose utters a loud scream, prompting Joel to break down the door and enter the house. Once in, Rose greets Joel with a sinister smile and burns herself, eventually passing on the curse to him, and the pattern continues. The evil spirit grows stronger and more dangerous as it feeds on its victims' fears and trauma.
Northcott (Robin Weigert) reveals herself to be the demon. Her own therapist attacks her and shatters the sacred trust between doctor and patient — it's a shocking moment that represents the ultimate betrayal. Ironically, this helps Rose realize that she may have betrayed her own mother in her darkest time of need.
Rose begins experiencing hallucinations induced by the demon. Shortly after, she has trouble finding her cat, Mustache, and its tragic fate is revealed during her nephew's birthday party. The boy opens Rose's present to discover her cat's dead body.
Bittersweet Ending: All three endings have some shade of this, with varying bitter to sweet ratios: In the good ending, you manage to save the Habiticians by way of having cheered them all up so that they have no reason to stick around for the "Big Event," and you make Dr.
The film stars Sosie Bacon as a therapist named Rose Cotter, who, after witnessing the bizarre suicide of a patient, goes through increasingly disturbing and daunting experiences, leading her to believe what she is experiencing is supernatural.
Smile,directed by Parker Finn, chronicles a set stories like these. Before going to the theatres, I'd recommend you take the trigger warnings surrounding suicide and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) very seriously.
Very scary horror. This is an extremely scary, graphic horror movie that should not be taken lightly. I have seen my fair share of horror movies over the years but this one definitely has a different feel to it. It is chilling, unnerving, and very difficult to watch sometimes.
Type of Villain
~ The Smile Entity, taunting Rose about how she will never be able to get rid of it. The Smile Entity is the main antagonist of the 2022 horror film Smile.
Not only is Rose unable to defeat the demon in Smile's ending but, in a truly vicious twist, the entity waits until Joel arrives before possessing and killing her. This means that it will be able to live on in him since the curse needs a witness to pass itself on.

After 25 years, James Cameron has admitted that both Jack and Rose could both have survived the sinking of the Titanic in his 1997 cinematic masterpiece, though there were "a lot of variables" in play.

Rose initially panics, but starts smiling evilly, presumably because that her racist beliefs about black people would be right, as Chris would end up acting like a beast. Chris, either now unwilling or too exhausted to kill his former girlfriend, stops strangling her.
The rarest smile type is the complex smile, with only an estimated 2% of the population possessing this smile. This smile is rare because it requires three muscle groups to work simultaneously when smiling.
