Smile is coming to Pluto TV on September 1, 2026, marking the modern horror favorite’s exclusive free streaming premiere — the first time the film will be available to stream at no cost.

Smile | Official Trailer (2022 Movie)
Written and directed by Parker Finn, Smile stars Sosie Bacon as Dr. Rose Cotter, a psychiatrist who begins experiencing terrifying, unexplainable events after witnessing a deeply disturbing incident involving one of her patients. As a creeping, all-consuming dread tightens its grip on her life, Rose is forced to confront unresolved trauma from her past before it destroys her — and everyone around her.

Since its 2022 release, Smile has become a bona fide modern horror landmark, finishing as the #1 original horror film of that year. Its deeply unsettling central conceit — the wrong smile at the wrong moment — proved to be one of the more genuinely effective horror images in recent memory. The film also stars Jessie T. Usher, Kyle Gallner, Caitlin Stasey, Kal Penn, and Rob Morgan.

Whether you’ve seen it and want to relive the dread, or you’ve somehow avoided it until now, Pluto TV’s free premiere is the perfect excuse to finally look it in the eye — or maybe not.

Smile arrives on Pluto TV on September 1, 2026, available on demand at no cost. Find it at pluto.tv.
