Thank Naomi for that. Such a great performance.

@@frankkawa2469not at all same concept done worse if you ask me especially the demon scene at the end looked super fake compared to the first. Other then joels 5minute intro (which was amazing by the way wish we got his story instead) the movie was almost exact copy and paste other then the obvious ending.

[@miragrace0]

@@ericmorrow4040i think the second one portrayed trauma in such a crazy good way though especially thanks to naomi's performance and it made me really fall in love with the concept while the first one fell flat for me

[@ericmorrow4040]

@@miragrace0 yea I agree they definitely did a better job with the whole trauma aspect but the main thing I hated about the 2nd one was the whole what’s real and what isn’t I get that’s a part of the disease when your possessed but in the 1st movie it wasn’t until the very end that she was hallucinating the whole house on fire scene while the 2nd film was like the whole 2nd & 3rd act wasn’t real that just completely ruined it for me.

I love that the film explored trichotillomania - there are few films that have shown this, and it was done rather well here.

[@neesha8781]

whats the meaning of trichotillomania?

[@scare_duardo]

Parker Finn is so talented. Such a great movie with super inventive ideas.

[@mikes5637]

Single best acting performance I've seen this year. Naomi Scott deserves an Oscar, but the Academy will never consider a horror sequel.😢

[@Screamr2024]

An Oscar is not even all that anymore, do you know how many great actors have not gotten one? MANY MANY MANY. Also, you have to do a lot of ungodly stuff behind closed doors or sometimes on camera to get that Oscar. Talent alone doesn't bring it. Hollywood lmao

[@__ZANE__]

Agreed. This was the best movie since 2019 and Naomi is the main reason.

[@zombiesingularity]

Unfortunately it's pretty much unheard of for a horror movie to get a big Oscar nomination like that.

[@leob4403]

​@@zombiesingularityyou just have to market it like an art movie like black swan got a bunch of Oscars and it was basically a psychological horror movie like smile

[@JustPippaNY]

The first Smile had me so scared at points that I was hiding under my shirt. The second one has been on my mind ever since I saw it. I've seen it now three times in the cinema. Everyone has their favorite horror series, whether it's Nightmare or Halloween or Chucky. This is my series. 😃

[@kumarsivadas4773]

6 days later. Entity is back with a bang on smile. An elevated sequel to an already masterpiece. Congrats to the team.

[@renevanderwesthuizen1520]

Paramount - can I just compliment you guys on actually doing sequels justice, with the likes of Top Gun 2 and Smile 2. My two top movies since the 2020's started. Smile 2 is incredibly good. Well done Parker Finn! I watched it more than a month ago and I'm still obsessed with watching people analysing it online. Honestly, this film deserves so many rewards on so many levels. I still have absolutely no idea on how to REALLY interpret this and I think that alone is probably one of the reasons I find this so incredibly fascinating. Because this is what art is supposed to do. It leaves the audience to interpret the work, in so many different ways, that there's no true consensus, except on this one thing: it's just art. Oh, how I wish I could now sit in my film studies/film history professor's class and hear his opinion on this. Although... his final assessment would probably also have been: It's open to interpretation. Haha. How brilliant. Thank you for great entertainment!

[@xander.defalt]

Every scene I see of this movie is so fucking haunting and uncomfortable... seeing her hair ripped out and then shoving a hand down her throat... Jesus Christ. I can even feel the terror of the scene with her mom breaking the glass

[@zamirstuff]

You don't have idea how long I've been waiting for a Behind the scenes for this movie 😂 loved the BTS from the first one, that even showed the composer recording the scary sounds

[@monicadominguez9455]

I honestly had lots of fun watching this movie. I absolutely ADORED the jumpscares and there was a point where I genuinely felt like Skye was one of many celebrities who are vilified by the media just because they're struggling with mental health issues. Like, evil metaphysical being aside, there are many Skyes out there and people don't spare an ounce of sympathy. The press turns their lives and horrors into a circus, just to sell newspapers or gain views on TikTok. It's sad.

they really could do laura's story in a prequel, like.. she was a PHD student , so i think she investigated the curse too there so many possibilities, they really could make laura's story to connect to the first movie it will be nice

Maybe but I'm more interested in what happens after smile 2 and finding a way to beat the curse for good.

[@thecaptivator4795]

I saw the 2 films b2b. When i finished watching smile 1, I wondered how the sequel is gonna work. Coz the doctor already found the mystery and solution to her problem but suffered the same fate of other victims. But in the sequel, director makes the story more interesting by making the main lead a celebrity and adding a backstory. I love how Skye made millions of witnesses in the end. If smile 3 happens, its gonna be so grandeur

[@humbucker08]

[@azl0420]

personally they should’ve kept Joel alive or have a spin off with him, but the movie still turned out great

[@jackbauer5455]

I thought it was a great irony that Joel was so focused on surviving the curse that what ended up killing was a random car crashing into him.

[@thecaptivator4795]

Dude skye Riley made 1000s of witnesses by her death. So there plenty of room for Stories.

[@azl0420]

@ there is don’t get me wrong but it would’ve been interesting to follow someone who got away with getting rid the smile curse, only one other person had done it but they went to jail. Joel could’ve been used in another movie to help out a new character, and he would have to deal with the fact that the curse spread further cause of him

[@nicoleharris6584]

If I had to redo smile 2, I would have done an offshore oil rig worker maybe an underwater welder as the main protagonist. The idea of the smile entity being stuck on the offshore rig with the protagonist is horrifying. Even an underwater scene like a welder seeing the smile entity swimming up at them and knowing how water makes it hard to move fast would be terrifying. So much potential for Smile just needs to be done right.
