Though their relationship is not smooth as the wife files for divorce, and the pair then falls into a disastrous cycle that includes not just adultery and neglect, but also murder, an alien and doppelgangers.

After filming a few shorts, Finn made his feature debut with Smile, which became the biggest horror hit of 2022, generating more than 216 million dollars globally.

The 17-million-dollar film's idea revolved around a supernatural creature that caused individuals to commit suicide. Following that success, he signed an agreement with Paramount and began working on Smile 2.
