Smile 2

"More artistic, creepy and trippy than it is scary."

"It was a good psychological scary movie. A bit better than first one. "

"Tried to like this one but found it uneventful. I guess lead actress definitely sold her deteriorating mind but I felt I could have seen more of this entity haunt more of her and others. "

"Somehow tops the first movie in most ways. Terrifying from start to finish "

"Even more chilling, twisted, and horrific than the first one. The movie itself is full of twists & turns, jump scares, disturbing imagery, and suspense. But Naomi Scott absolutely delivers a performance in this- she's simultaneously terrified and terrifying. A disturbing sequel, you won't want to look away but you won't want to look either. Kept me locked in the entire time while expanding on a disturbing universe of gore and trauma."

"I'm pleasantly surprised to say that I definitely preferred Smile 2 to the original film. Naomi Scott really gives it her all as Skye Riley. It was cool to see Kyle Gallner return and to see Lukas Gage as Lewis after recently seeing him in Dead Boy Detectives. The use of sound is interesting, the unique camera work, and some great jump scares. I don't know about you but I wouldn't mind a Skye Riley and Lady Raven duet."

"This is a perfect example of how you do a sequel. They picked up where they left off, they expanded the lore, more creative kills, creepy visuals cranked up a notch, and an excellent twist. There was also a really good back story about a pop star and we get to see the behind the scenes of who she is and why she is such a damaged person. The story was so good ig they took out the scary parts they could play it just as a drama. Everything about this was an improvement of the original, and I really enjoyed that one. They do give you an epic finale scene that sets up the potential for another movie and I am looking forward to it. A must-see for fans of the original and anyone into horror.

"Decent sequel"

"I really liked this film. It did a great job and the actress did too. 💞"

"Smile 2 promises to build upon the unsettling atmosphere and psychological horror of its predecessor. Directed once again by Parker Finn, the sequel dives deeper into the eerie mythology of the Smile Entity, blending supernatural terror with human fears. Naomi Scott returns in the lead role, navigating a world where the line between reality and nightmare is ever-blurring. Fans can expect more of the spine-chilling visuals and suspenseful storytelling that made the first Smile a standout in modern horror. Early teasers suggest a more expansive exploration of the Smile Entity’s origins, raising the stakes and weaving an intricate web of dread and psychological intrigue. While sequels often struggle to capture the magic of the original, the creative team’s commitment to deepening the narrative and pushing boundaries offers hope for a hauntingly effective follow-up. "
