We chat with Smile's writer and director ParkerJFinn about the inspiration for his new horror film and how he collaborated with star Sosie Bacon:
Parker Finn makes his feature directorial debut with Smile, a terrifying new horror film that is perfect for the fall season but it will make your skin crawl. Despite it being his first time, the reviews are in and even the greats such as Stephen King are praising his work.
Parker Finn: Well, no. I made Laura Hasn't Slept just to kind of stand-alone. I think all good shorts should stand alone and exist in their own right. But while I was in post on that, there was something about it that kept lingering with me and this idea for this larger story started to emerge, and then this totally separate character story was born out of it. And yeah, just it rattled around in there and then just came pouring out of me.
You and I are both fans of practical effects, especially in the genre of horror. Can you talk to me about how practical effects add to horror? Parker Finn: Yeah, definitely. I mean, I think we're all sort of made up of all our influences, but some films that were on my brain while I was making this, in a big way, was certainly Rosemary's Baby and how that sort of positions us with that character and the camera movement and blocking in that.
We go through Rose's journey, and the more and more we dive deeper into her story, the more people kind of fall out of her life. Can you talk a little bit about the theme of isolation? Because I know you wrote this during the pandemic.
