2022-12-27 01:49:31 +0000 UTCI think that was the point of the statement that trauma causes wounds, if those wounds are untreated/open then it provides an avenue for infection to take hold, in this case the smile entity. Edit: To further clarify the analogy, without the wound there isn't a skin break for the infection to enter, so yes the curse skips them but that wouldn't be an issue because the entity chooses the time of the suicide and only does it in front of somebody who is vulnerable. Now in the event of a murder that may not be the case but presumably it just wouldn't jump like if you murdered without a witness.

Which means the chain weren't only linked to the people in this storyline. My only question is does a person need to have trauma in their past to transfer the curse.

2022-12-26 23:35:34 +0000 UTCYeah I’m with Mrs movies with that extra 10 or so minutes to add a downer of and ending not being so good. Sometimes scary movies need a downer ending, but I think with the message the movies trying to tell regarding mental health, I don’t think telling your audience that you can’t help yourself is that good.
