Smile

A group of young students on a summer break buys an old instant camera from a mysterious shopkeeper, and their carefree trip turns into a nightmare. The camera does not produce ordinary pictures: those it photographs are marked, and the images are connected to the deaths that follow. As the group tries to understand what the camera is and how to escape it, they must work out its secret before they become its next victims.

Francesco Gasperoni directed and wrote the horror thriller, which was released in 2009 and runs 84 minutes. It was made as a co-production between the United Kingdom, Italy and Morocco, with Istituto Luce Cinecittà, Baxter Films and Tiberius Film Productions behind it, and Hamid Basket, Livia Benevento and Robert Capelli Jr. serving as producers. Armand Assante leads the cast as Tollinger, alongside Giorgia Massetti, Harriet MacMasters-Green, Antonio Cupo, Manuela Zanier and Mourad Zaoui.

The film has found little favour with viewers. On IMDb it holds a rating of 3.3 out of 10 from 777 votes, and on TMDB it stands at 3.7 out of 10 from 37 votes, placing it among the lower-rated titles in the director's filmography.
