Can y’all plz watch The Crowded Room by Tom Holland it’s one of the greatest shows and saddest

[@kcxsmooth]

Naomi absolutely deserves an Oscar nom for this performance, she DESTROYED it.

[@EMOTIONBIGLIFE]

Agree, amazing layered acting❤

[@JeshuaSquirrel]

Plus co-writing and singing the songs. Too bad the Academy usually ignores horror movies.

[@ultmotive]

They don't seem to give Oscars for horror movies, no matter how good a performance is. Same thing with Jennifer Lawrence in Mother!

[@mogg34y]

Naomi Scotts performance is incredible. And she is proper British when she speaks in real life.

[@nicholaswright2011]

Fun fact She played as Princess Jasmine in the live action Aladdin

[@Randomyoutubecommenter]

This one was more disturbing than the first one maybe

[@charlesharry7901]

​@Randomyoutubecommenter no maybe definitely disturbing than one

[@spartan_warrior5927]

The third one is more disturbing than the first two.

[@lizimoakalizmo]

@@nicholaswright2011 fun fact: she played mohini in lemonade mouth 😌

[@Lila_Moon]

So I think after the part in her apartment where she was attacked by her dancers and knocked out, everything after that wasn't actually happening. Killing her mom, meeting with Morris at the Pizza Hut; was all fake. The smile entity was having her get ready for the tour in basically a blacked out state of mind, until it was ready to put her back in control when it got her on stage. I think that is why it told her "I like wearing your skin", because it was actually in control of her body. I feel like the 3rd movie has to be a prequel, in order to advance the story and give more background to the smile entity. Looking forward to seeing what they do next, though!

[@farhanrafi8481]

Yess! this also include the call from “real Gemma” at the end. I think Gemma really did stayed the night.

[@aaronviaje134]

The actress who played Skye's mom in this movie, aside from playing Huey's mom in The Boys S4, also played the overprotective mother in Black Mirror episode Arkangel. She seems to be really good at playing the role of a crappy mom.

[@EL_Duderino68]

Ohh yeah, thanks for that.

[@disappointmentblvdd]

Skye Riley was on my top 5 artists on my Spotify wrapped lol

[@Wraiven22]

I doubt love will be the death of meeeee ❤

[@j0j01192]

Same!!

[@yll7570]

Naomi Scotts proved how much of a good actress she is with this movie. She was amazing.

[@XiaoJinx-G6]

36:40 Morris was definitely real when she *FIRST* met him after that he wasn't real including everything else. The entity was following her and when the entity heard Morris talking about a way to get rid of The entity, The entity chose to step in and try to get her away from him by manipulating her mind making her see her phone repeatedly calling and sending her fans to her so she can get away from him. After that, during the this scene 40:52 she got half-possessed in her apartment with the arm and after that everything was a hallucination, while her body was physically moving and getting ready for the tour, That's why the entity said *"You're not in control Skye"* at 55:16. Terrifying.

[@Tbizel]

That’s interesting her being half possessed good call didn’t think of that.

[@packedentertainment2866]

Says you. The whole movie seems to be in her head. So if she did make a whole person up in her head then it makes no sense & if not … then they should’ve made that more clearer but instead this movie’s whole motto is “let it slide, the logic will keep logic-ing, trust”.

[@XiaoJinx-G6]

@packedentertainment2866 What's your deal? It's clear that you're the problem, not the movie lol. The entity is capable of manipulating the human (host) mind whether it's making them see things, feel things, control them or all of the above and OBVIOUSLY the entity is messing with her head throughout the movie but not 24/7. The first half of the movie The entity was just messing with her then the second half of the movie right after she was talking to Morris about how to save her The entity possessed Skye, putting her under an illusion throughout the rest of the movie. It's pretty clear if you actually pay attention to the movie it's just that YOU is just getting tricked up into thinking that everything is an illusion. There's a difference between a character being under an illusion on and off at times and IS under an illusion throughout the whole movie, you know because clearly she wasn't.

[@lavendertaffy7591]

I assumed that she was hallucinating for almost the entire movie, since she was wearing the butterfly outfit at the concert.

[@XiaoJinx-G6]

@lavendertaffy7591 You can say that yeah. For the first half of the movie The entity was just messing with her, manipulating her mind at times whereas for the second half of the movie she was under an illusion.

[@GarrettHarlen]

The actor who portrays Paul Hudson is perfect casting. He’s Jack Nicholson’s son.

[@showard7153]

I cracked up when Nikki said Lewis had nice teeth too.

[@Rizzlebeef]

These movies are so effing mean to their protagonists. Next-level gaslighting and hopeless torture. At least the girl from The Ring leaves you alone for the first seven days!

[@debajyotiroy8726]

That's the point of psychological horror... To psychologically destroy the protagonist and the viewers as well throughout the movie which lingers for days or even weeks within the mind of viewers that wtf just happened? Parker finn is a genius... Ring, It follows and other movies were predominantly curse transmission movies but smile franchise focus on psychologically disturb and destroy the protagonist and viewers at the maximum level...

[@belesir8847]

Yeah I'm getting a bit tired of this trend tbh, it's getting predictable and it's just unsatisfying to watch.

[@j0j01192]

The worst part about this movie is that this girl was already STRUGGLING. At least in the first one she seemed to have her shit a bit more together.

[@phousefilms]

There's hints that a lot of the things she's experiencing are fake. They say she's dehydrated when she's in the health clinic(sort of impossible after drinking gallons of water). Morris doesn't react when she's being called repeatedly on her cell phone when he's detailing a plan to stop her heart. Also, though obviously you can tell(given the reveal), Skye's mom doesn't react to Gemma being in the apartment or her greeting her. I think it was a hallucination from the arm going into her throat onward.

[@j0j01192]

@@phousefilms to be fair… drinking too much water can lead to dehydration as well 😂

[@mr.checkyourself4672]

The first scene with Morris is real

[@LLJourney09]

Naomi really chugged all those bottles! She said in an interview she had to chug five bottles during one of the scenes because they had to keep reshooting the sequence to get it right. Insane commitment right there.

[@Lakerfanforlife]

That’s a good way to get bladder infection

[@gpeddino]

That's actually insanely dangerous. Water intoxication is a thing and it's very fatal.

[@LLJourney09]

@ fully agreed!

[@Hotcakes706]

The scene where Gemma is driving Skye and she says that Skye can’t drive, notice how when Gemma is driving it looks as she can’t drive either, further confirming it was Skye.

[@scottcunningham799]

The smile monster just reveals itself to the victim right before the die. So it doesn't have to look or appear realistic. It's just another illusion they see like all the other illusions throughout the movie. Basically like having a nightmare where seeing anything is possible.

[@andresf1876]

@@scottcunningham799 it’s also a supernatural being so it doesn’t have to look like anything we know. And people don’t need to see the first one to know what’s happening in this one so showing the monster is necessary

[@mcfearsun]

I think it’s super creepy tbh

[@parksnrec5476]

I am so in love with Naomi Scott's performance! Can we talk about her best acting moments? She scooted on her butt away from the dealer faster than I can run. The way she screamed and clawed at her face when the dead dealer was behind her and shaped her mouth into a smile. Her ad lib. at the children's benefit was so painful and unfortunately humorous. Those are a few of my favorites… What are yours?

[@RS-bn1ty]

Lukas Gage smile though, perfection lol

[@orangelanternnunley1720]

The jump scares in this movie are so good. Don't feel bad, Nikki. I screamed, too. Naomi Scott deserves to be nominated for her acting in this movie. She is amazing.

[@shakycam3]

That jump scare at 25:57 scared me so bad in the theater I think there is a dent in the ceiling from my head.

[@brdsx5065]

I was shocked at how good this was, I figured a sequel would be terrible. The acting and cinematography is very very good. That intro though, YES.

[@Kickinthescience]

You can definitely tell that’s Jack Nicholson’s son when you find out its him with that smile

[@generic_sauce]

I kept thinking he looked so familiar the entire movie, then I saw his name in the credits 😂

[@Rosie-ij3on]

Looks just like Jack Nicholson in The Shining with that smile

[@gpeddino]

@@Rosie-ij3on Apparently that's exactly why the director cast him. He wanted to pay tribute to The Shining.

[@hessu275]

Naomi's performance is outstanding, Skye feels so real with all her flaws

[@WarmEnchantment]

I love the commentary on how much pressure these stars are actually under to perform and present a certain image even when they are not okay, also I love Naomi Scott and didn't even recognize that this was her until reading comments then was like wait who does she play. She played Jasmine in live action Aladdin, pink ranger in power rangers reboot movie, she was in Disney channel movie lemonade mouth, and the Charlie's angels remake

[@tetamale4280]

this sequel surpasses the original, it's a fact

[@Washinyot]

i mean how can you expect the smile entity to not emerge, thats the whole point. It prepares you by fucking your mind up till it possesses you to spread it.

[@Wolfking99-x4r]

Smile 2 was fantastic there were a lot of good Jump scares that actually made me jump and the ending was terrifying

[@scottc4199]

INCREDIBLE SOUND DESIGN AND MUSIC AND ACTING

[@hjrsinstmashups]

This new Nikki’s jumpscare scream at 34:22 might be my new favorite

[@bennet8448]

For me, the Smile universe has become a new horror franchise! Because I liked the Conjuring franchise before this, but it became too commonplace, especially after the second Nun film. I'm definitely looking forward to the sequel to Smile, considering how FIREEEEE the ending Smile 2 was!!!!! I'm literally speechless..... Naomi Scotts was incredible in this movie!!!

[@AkronRain69]

Naomi killed it!!!!!!! 🙌. Hope she gets more big roles!

[@THEmainAlphaz]

Naomi was Jasmine in the live action Aladdin and was one of the Angels in the 2019 Charlie's Angels.

[@Chonson]

Nikki's jump scares are the greatest 😂

[@MultiGreenG]

Think about someone in a higher power getting this demon thing, like the president or something. How chaotic THAT would be... 😮

[@manofmovies29]

This one is absolutely better than the first one and the first one is already sooo good.

[@DigiMyst]

The moral of the story is: Drink. Voss. Water.

[@Erttshnr]

I was patiently waiting MONTHS for this reaction and it DID NOT disappoint😌🫶🏾

[@ryanratcliff2548]

This is random, but nothing tops The Haunting of Hill House ‘backseat driver’ jump scare. That’s as good as it gets. Great reaction

[@ikilledsifodyas]

Totally agree. That one from THOHH is the mother of all jump scares.

[@shredi_knight-v3c]

Totally agree. That one from THOHH is the mother of all jump scares.

if someone like Skye Riley existed and was telling that heavy a story on the Drew show, Drew would be sitting in her lap lol

[@kfzq]

The soundtrack. The sound design is just amazing

[@thegamingvulture8304]

I like the Erie soundtrack in this movie especially in the beginning when dude is hit by truck it sets the movie up nice.

[@Mnstrsplayhouse]

I have a theory that she wasn't actually drinking all that water when she is offered water she refused it or only took a sip and in the hospital one of her symptoms is dehydration

[@tetamale4280]

all the songs are BANGERZ, Naomi was amazing in all senses

[@willking247]

By the way Naomi Scott also played Jasmine in the remake live version of "Aladdin"

[@rap250]

The jump scare after looking on her phone got me even after rewatching two times it’s insane

[@captainawesome360]

27:48 Steven’s “come on now” perfectly describes how much the demon was messing around. 😂

[@Malcorn8169]

Ray Nicholson played her boyfriend. Dad: Jack Nicholson you can see the resemblance at times.

[@ororomunroe4055]

It's sad that Naomi Scott is not getting award love just because awards bias against horror

@@ororomunroe4055 Shes already won the Astra Award for Best Performance in Horror/Thriller! But I agree she deserves MORE.

Fun fact: Parker Finn appears in the movie as the photographer in that one scene with the Skye Riley photoshoot.

I shit myself multiple times at the theater alongside my grandmother! Smile 2 is the best horror movie I’ve seen in a while!

You guys are so wholesome! Love watching you! You make me feel welcome and comfortable which can be really hard for me to feel! Thank you for everything you do! Have an amazing Christmas ❤

[@zeallygreen]

It makes me sad that horror movies rarely get any Oscar attention. Between Naomi Scott’s performance and Demi Moore’s in The Substance and now Nosferatu, they are the best movies and performances this year, hands down. Also, are there any better jump scares than Nikki? Don’t think so….not even close! 💚💚

[@tetamale4280]

since the opening scene i knew this movie was gonna be AMAZING

[@Atman94]

Yes I watched your reaction to the 1st Smile movie a few days ago, so cannot wait to jump into this one

[@VESS6.0]

Pritty much the entity took over her whole mind after she had the conversation with morris in the bar, skye's mental state was very weak, thats why after 3 days she could not tell what was real or not, compared to joel his mind was strong and made it to 6 days...

[@samhasanain4841]

Naomi Scott's performance was OSCAR WORTHY...no joke.

[@generic_sauce]

Definitely liked this one more than the first, Naomi Scott killed it! Very curious to see how the 3rd will go!

[@mcfearsun]

It’s interesting how the smile demon gets SKYE to actualize what she wants out loud before it takes things a step further. It used her best friend to clarify why she wanted to get to Staten Island and then again to get the reason why she would be willing to stop her heart. It’s almost like it wants the host to say her plans out loud even if IT already knows. Great reaction btw

[@PrincessSarah090288]

I knew you guys were gonna enjoy this. Smile 3 has already been confirmed and we can't wait😈😈🔥🔥🔥

[@zcythegeist]

What I love about Smile 2 jumpscares is that there's no music cue unlike other films. They set it up in times that you feel safe on a scene.

[@Aerizal]

Absolutely love this reaction channel!

[@hashmath3458]

YESSSSSS FINALLYYYY! NEVER CLICKED ON YOUR VIDEO FASTER!!!! NAOMI SCOTT'S PERFORMANCE DESERVES MORE ATTENTION!

[@Roggen45]

Yay dad jokes!! 🥰 And yes chatting with you guys is fun, and have some good discussions too! 😍🔥 Happy Holidays and hugs from The Netherlands! ❤️

[@Hoodie_HD]

Gives you a whole new empathy for people IRL who struggle with these kinds of mental illnesses, where you don’t know what’s real. I can’t imagine how torturous it must be, especially if you can’t get help.

[@fletchgang123]

Everything after the sequence with the fist going down her throat up to her going on stage is an entire hallucination. When she is on stage and unalives herself when it becomes real again. She didn't kill her mother at the doctor's clinic or get locked in the freezer. The demon was fucking with her mind that whole time.

[@АбдуллахГафур]

Naomi Scott is Oscar worthy 💔

[@Wraiven22]

I think this is the first “it was all a dream” movie since Alice in Wonderland that I genuinely liked despite that twist being used.

[@solitarymaninblack]

The actor playing the cop. He was Bart West in Smallville.

[@Dennis_K09]

I love that you guys put this out during Christmas time!!! lol

[@HrglassHealer]

Steven has the ‘smile face’ sometimes ever notice that? 😂 I like Nikki /Steven videos…..

[@Wash869]

Better than the first!

[@nolipgloss1343]

Jack Nicholson’s son too cool for doing a cameo role basically looking like his dad from The Shining 😂

[@Wash869]

React to the film: THE TAKING OF DEBORAH LOGAN (2014), a very interesting Found Footage style horror, tense and with disturbing moments (literally). It's worth checking out this forgotten gem.

[@candy2325]

That movie is soooooo good

[@kimberlyjeanne9456]

Aw man, I like the look of the creature! It reminds me of something from The Thing and it IS a practical effect which is always nice instead of CGI. And if that nasty demon was in front of me I would be terrified too. Just my take. I loved his movie and your reaction was fun! ✌🏻

[@shakycam3]

The thing that stuck with me and made me watch it again is that none of it happened. From the point she got in that vessel onstage everything wasn’t happening. That means, when she met Morris and he explained everything, that was this thing describing ITSELF.

[@solitarymaninblack]

I watched this yesterday. From the trailer I knew that it would end with the singer in front of the crowd.

[@8BitCristopolis]

this movie was *smooch* a chef's kiss. FANTASTICO

[@andrewstone1240]

the creature reveal in the first movie was my favorite part of that movie. the monster is soooo unnerving

[@AbsolutAlim]

I’ve watched so many reactions just cause of these jump scares!!

[@thejoker.nation]

the fact that joel survived from the curse but he has bad luck to not survive from the car !!

[@daurydavis3983]

38:44 she's princess Jasmine in the live action Aladdin movie, she's in the Charlie's Angels reboot movie, I think she was also in the Power Rangers reboot movie.

[@viralmx80]

The part where her car crash self falls from the ceiling in the freezer is for some reason the most unintentionally hilarious thing I've ever seen.

[@paulpol7300]

for me she started to be possessed by the demon at the time of the mirror scene when he forces a smile on her ,at the beginning when she has the same outfit.. , at this moment she is possessed (little girl smiling not real , "ugly man" alfredo not real , moris is not real ,gemma not real, charity evening not real,death mom not real,etc..) everything else is in his head except the last scene of course.the demon has been playing with her since that moment in front of the mirror and the first smile from her...go smile 3 and go to the apocalypse

[@HrglassHealer]

Hair pulling is called trichotillomania. It’s a result of trauma/PTSD. I suffered from it for decades. Definitely seek therapy for this condition & blessings to all who suffer from it. ❤️‍🩹

[@courve]

The mom didn't reply to Gemma when she visited the apartment. Same reason why Gemma didn't want to go to rehearsal.

[@JeshuaSquirrel]

Having a celebrity be the trauma demon's target puts a whole new set of potential issues in play. For instance the meet and greet line. Was the smiling little girl real or not? Sometimes people are just overwhelmed and don't know how to act. Then of course the overall access to so many sources of trauma.

[@tetamale4280]

this and The First Omen has the best jumpscares of the year

[@leighwhite6700]

OMG I was totally into how you both had The faces of WTF gag at the 10ish minute mark with the weight to the face. Fabulous ♥️ 😂 Great reaction ❤ Great sequel 👏

[@MultiGreenG]

A movie crossover of Saw and the Smile movies would be dope. They could call it "Saw You Smile." 😂 It would get sick very quick.

[@Lakerfanforlife]

And what would the plot be

[@cazper420]

What made you use the frame of her experiencing extreme constipation?! 😂 Gonna love this reaction. I wish I could've stayed up long enough for the watch along

[@LauraCourtneyette]

I like how the first ad that played was about improving your smile 😂

[@ThousanWhite]

The smile demon monster is what makes these movies what it is. I’m kinda surprised that people are still not coming around to it

[@Peak_there_is]

Im gladded I waited for this to drop I kinda saw u guys live before u guys started then I left 😭😂

[@DesertDwight]

Typically I don’t mind watching horror movies at home, but I believe this is one of those horror movies that benefits from the big screen. One of my favorites this year!

[@CJ-bs6zf]

Someone needs to make a third where the protagonist is about that life! When the entity said “youre not in control skye” thats when i would’ve clocked her tea sorry, entity or human youre getting clocked. Plus it would just be funny to see the entity struggle to possess someone whos super unbothered 😭

[@kristianbanks6450]

I love Naomi Scott in this! She was incredible! Her performance is one of my favorites all year, it was Oscar worthy! I felt her anxiety and I felt like I was going insane with her. She did a sensational job in her role! I wasn’t expecting to love this film as much as the first one, which I already loved. This sequel is way better than the first one IMO❤✨ thank you so much for watching!!

[@mcfearsun]

I so did not expect him to get hit by that truck 😂

[@markcraft]

By the way, Paul Hudson is played by Jack Nicholson's son
