Taking to social media, viewers have shared why Smile has been keeping them up at night.

Writing on Twitter, one person shared: "It’s rare for a horror movie to really spook me, but Smile really f***** me up. last night at 4 am I was just awake in my bed panicking, “feeling” the presence of that ENTITY smiling at me from the corner. F***."

"Personally, I think the film is a metaphor to how grief and trauma can manifest itself in our minds. Only we experience the instabilities while the world looks at you like you’re crazy."

One viewer never wanted to see anyone smile again after watching the film as they wrote: "Smile is by far the creepiest film of the year. I’m probably never gonna watch it ever again and I don’t want anyone smiling at me ever again."

That's something to smile about. Right?
