Netflix Removing “Too Disturbing” Horror Hit ‘Smile’ in Days — Fans Say: “It Left Me Shaking”

Netflix is about to pull the plug on one of its most chilling horror films — and fans are in full panic mode. Smile, the 2022 psychological thriller that viewers are calling “traumatizing,” “brilliantly disturbing,” and “the scariest movie since The Conjuring,” is vanishing from Netflix UK on April 9 — and no one saw it coming.

A Haunting Film That Got Too Real…

Smile follows therapist Dr. Rose Cotter (played by Sosie Bacon) after she witnesses a patient’s horrifying, unexplained suicide. What follows is a slow descent into paranoia and psychological terror, as Rose becomes convinced that a sinister entity is haunting her — one that spreads through trauma… and wears a terrifying grin.

But unlike most modern horror flicks, Smile doesn’t just rely on cheap jump scares. It crawls under your skin and stays there. Critics praised its unnerving score, eerie imagery, and Sosie Bacon’s powerhouse performance, calling the film “an enjoyably nasty brush with the smiling face of evil.”

Why Is Netflix Silently Erasing It?

Despite earning a staggering $217 million worldwide and launching a hit sequel in 2024, Netflix is quietly removing Smile from its catalog. No fanfare. No countdown. Just gone in a matter of days.

Some subscribers are calling it “a crime against horror fans,” while others believe Netflix is making room for lighter content — or avoiding further controversy over how deeply disturbing the film truly is.

What Fans Are Saying Online…

“Don’t watch this alone.”
“Legit the most horrifying thing I’ve seen in years.”
“Smile stayed with me for days — I couldn’t sleep.”

The film’s eerie psychological themes and “uncanny terror” have sparked countless viewer reactions, with many calling it the best horror experience of the decade. But after April 9, it disappears from Netflix UK — possibly for good.

Where You Can Still Watch It

After its Netflix departure, Smile will still be available on Paramount+ and NOW in the UK. But horror lovers on Netflix only have a short window left to face this nightmare.

Final Warning: Watch It Now — Before It Smiles Back

Whether you missed it in theaters or want one last sleepless night, now’s your chance. Smile isn’t just another horror flick. It’s a slow-burning descent into madness, grief, and fear — and it’s leaving in days.

So ask yourself: Are you ready to see what everyone’s afraid of?
You better hurry. Because this smile doesn’t last forever.
