'Smile' star Sosie Bacon on how exactly the new thriller gets under your skin, and why horror stories can be so good at delving into our fears—and even our sense of grief.
, the actress Sosie Bacon stars in a scene that’s basically a living nightmare. It’s so terrifying, you wonder how her character, Rose, will recover from what she has seen. And in fact, that’s the heart ofturns the familiar on its head: Rose is a hospital psychiatrist haunted by a violently tragic patient who reported seeing people with uncannily sinister smiles. Bacon landed the lead in, among other roles.
The sound design was a big part of the movie’s scares for me, and how people’s voices sometimes felt really close-up. Yeah, somebody just staring at you and smiling is so unnerving. I also think it plays with this idea. There’s that scene where she’s sitting in front of the mirror, trying to put on a smile, put on a mask, and there is something horrifying about having to pretend that you’re okay when you’re not.
Yes, totally. Grief is such a complicated thing, because it's so not just being sad. It’s got so many facets to it and also itto you. You can't control it. A loss of control of your own emotions is scary for anybody, which is why I find it to be more universal than “this woman is going crazy.” We all will experience a lack of control of our emotions at some point.Actually, that’s a really smart theme [of grief] that you identified that I hadn’t really thought about much.
