If you guys didn’t notice about the water bottles, other than just sitting there after everytime she drinks and downs a bottle the bottle is ALWAYS in the next shot or frame showing she didn’t actually drink it. Some bottles go back to being completely full, half full, etc. It’s fun foreshadowing

[@AubreyHodgson-qi6jv]

[@jewlliankaplan3946]

The constant drinking water is a tactic used by recovering alcoholics. The idea is that whenever you feel like drinking chug down a water instead.

[@FoxyGuyHere]

I use that tactic to eat less

[@fletchgang123]

As a former alcohol drinker. I can confirm this. I used this exact method myself during my rehab getting sober. So when Skye Riley mentioned it I immediately felt closer to her character.

[@PLaStiiCMoNtAGE]

@@fletchgang123 Good job getting sober, man. That shit aint easy

[@paulinegallagher7821]

It works because part of the joy of drinking isnt just the anticipated effects, its the chugging it down your throat. The water covers that part, and drinking water in a ritualistic way takes away a lot of other cravings as well. It also works for so many other ailments, like racing heart/anxiety and nausea.

[@justconnnoor]

Joel actually beat the Entity, that truck was very bad luck. RIP.

[@AnvilPictures]

It would’ve been funny if the driver got infected instead of the other guy because I think Ramming a guy with your car at full speed to a point the guy explodes on impact would be plenty of traumatic unless he also died in the crash as well.

[@NoSyrupLeft]

I liked his character so even though he died at least he died feeling free and didn’t get possessed. The fact that he used his police knowledge to pass the curse to a total scumbag speaks to his character instead of passing it to a random bystander.

[@AnvilPictures]

@@NoSyrupLeft he still passed it on to a bystander but at least he tried and succeeded at being free.

Naomi Scott is freaking amazing. I've been a long time fan of her since Lemonade Mouth (hey, Reel Rejects, you still haven't cover that underrated Disney Channel gem, we're still waiting guys! 😊) so to see her being in the horror genre playing a character that was traumatized by the hallucination that she was suffering so well, it's quite of a testament how talented she is

Aa someone who has dealt with mental illness and psychosis, there are a lot these movies get right about the experience. Naomi Scott deserves an Oscar, or at the very least to be nominated, but if they didn't even nominate Toni Collette I don't have faith that they will for her either.

[@kblixt]

For one particular scene, she had to chug an entire bottle of water multiple times. In fact, she mentioned that during a continuous take that lasted around five minutes, she ended up drinking a bottle five times because they needed to reset the scene so often. It definitely made her feel bloated and uncomfortable, which just goes to show how demanding her role as Skye Riley really was!

[@lizzymayethebordercollie]

It’s rare that a modern horror sequel can outshine the original. I think this one does that. The camera work is amazing.

[@OrionInSpace]

The idea of what they did with the ending by having the entire stadium see it is a potential evolution of the rules of Smile that I did not see coming, but I am all here for if they want to make a third film go bigger. Could this entity get passed off to people like that? Making it so that it becomes a disease. Eventually, to the point where almost everyone has it.👀

[@RS-bn1ty]

I’ve always thought it was a visual representation of different types of mental health like carrying anxiety and trauma around, so it affecting a whole group of people at the end makes so much sense

[@Quzga]

Tbh the sec I heard it was a pop star I imagined it Would end like this but still loved it. Expecting it made me more interested to see how she would end up there so didn't ruin the film at all, you kinda expect them to die anyway.

[@OrionInSpace]

@@RS-bn1ty ya and to that point if I remember correctly, one of her fans spoke to her about how she helped them with their mental health. I could be wrong about that but I vaguely remember that.

[@chad_kroeger]

Crazy because when the first trailer dropped, EVERYONE and their mom predicted that ending. Lol

[@whowhat0]

Calling it now, there's gonna be a shot in the third movie with all those people forming a big smile with their corpses.

[@luckyowl6432]

The Smile movies are so bleak. I see a lot of comments saying they are about conquering mental illness but I disagree. It's about a literal spirit/demon that uses your trauma against you and even if you manage to face your trauma ( like in Smile 1) it's almost irrelevant because the demon is older/smarter/crueler amd is just using what it finds in your mind as a tool... it doesn't get rid of it and it will never stop.

[@leareed3749]

I think you make great points and that on the contrary, these points affirm the entire metaphor about mental illness to me because for some people... living with a disability of the mind is chronic, incurable and potentially dangerous, thus why this demon forces it's host to take their own lives.

[@KarlUrbahn]

I know and the fact that you just can't seem to win against this entity makes the story less interesting because you're just waiting until it finally kills the main character.

[@luckyowl6432]

@@KarlUrbahn I think they can win it's just a matter of time ( getting passed the seven day mark ) or finding a way to pass it on to someone that is/gets completely isolated and immobile. The first two movies just haven't touched on that yet. I have this vague idea of someone getting infected and getting into an accident and getting trapped for a long period of time and then rescued at the last second and through that person a protagonist finds a way. Those are just ideas but hopefully it gets explored in any sequels.

[@Apache2895]

Smile 3 is gonna be interesting. We as the audience don’t know all the exact rules are yet and the entity likely found a loophole in its own rule for immortality possibly. There’s a lot of directions you can go with it in both plot and the thesis of the film

[@egranger2128]

I know Peter Jacobson from the show House which is funny cause I know the wife of the teacher, who killed himself with a hammer in the first movie, played Carla from Scrubs. This franchise is assembling the “doctor sitcom” universe.

[@AnvilPictures]

Also In the previous film they had another actor from the same run of House the director must be a fan of the show

As demonstrated by Sky drinking if it were a bottle of alcohol, which makes her way of showing her frustration similar to what was her decision to not show her true sign of insecurity. And what led her to finally show the monster. His tragic fate and the truth. , he wanted Sky to be saved.😭😭😔😣

[@thenesquik2699]

Naomi Scott performance in this movie was outstanding. I’m sad her character didn’t make it, I wish she was in the 3rd movie. In my perspective, the entity got fully control of her after the dancers attacked her.

[@mattmaru9108]

27:34 Trichotillomania. I unfortunately have that. I am a male and yes Trichotillomania generally affects females more than males. But whoever it affects it id devastating to. This movie is one of few movies that have Trichotillomania in it and I was absolutely impressed and taken back by her performance and the way they showed the reality of Trichotillomania. It's different for everyone affiliated but there is a commonality that we all share.

[@AnvilPictures]

Is it stress related?

Gemma did say hi to skye's mom but notice that mom did not respond or said anything back so gemma never stayed at skye's apartment

[@jessbailey5178]

the 'fans' in the closet were her backup dancers, I believe. I love how this iteration of the smile demon works almost like a cautionary parable about fame, and being preyed upon, hounded with no relief. It's a story we hear in like, documentaries about tragic deaths or terrible burnouts, but never as a dramatic device in horror. Excellently done and Naomi Scott is a force!

[@paulinegallagher7821]

I can't believe I saw her in that Power Rangers film and didn't even realize she was the same actress. Amazing what a new hairstyle can do. The way this movie ended really made me curious as to how they'll manage to do the third film based on how the demon functions. But whenever it drops, I hope to be in a theater watching it.

[@Pilgrxm]

I absolutely loved this opening of the film. It picked up basically exactly where I was hoping it would. And I think overall this film was far more impactful to me than the first, especially because not all of the scares were given away in the trailer.Also, the set up at the ending? Terrifying possibilities! I really hope there’s a third.

I loved how at one point in the movie the entity tells Skye, "I've been waiting for you," and at first I just imagined that as it trying to terrify her.

I gotta be real... As somebody who deals with depression and anxiety, I find both of these movies really strange. Look, I get it, it's a horror movie. I'm not expecting a happy ending.
