A horror masterpiece


I’m going to make a HUGE statement right off the bat: this was one of the best horror movies in the last 25 years AND one of the greatest horror sequels of the century. Rarely does a horror sequel manages to hold up to the original, even less so surpass it. The first one was scary and violent. This one is scarier and has even more gore. I watched it in my bed on my laptop with headphones and I was afraid I’d wake my wife up with the jump scares (which I normally don’t enjoy but I literally had shivers sent down my spine at times here). I even thought that my heart pounding could’ve wake her up. Ha! The first one had an interesting story. This one was captivating and mesmerizing. Smile 2 was extreme and once more, the music and sound effects were well used to increase the level of intensity. My rating: 8.5/10

Interesting. Most of what I've heard is that it's okay, but nothing brilliant. I'll definitely catch it at some point. I quite enjoyed the first one.

If you enjoyed the first one you'll likely enjoy this one too. It's okay, more of the same really, but it is entertaining. 6,5/10

Yeah, this isn't a perfect movie but it is a fucking awesome movie. It has its flaws but I have to admit that I also thought it was amazing and one of the best things I have watched in the last few years.

I agree. I loved it. I thought it was better than the first movie.

I agree with everything you said. Smile 2 is such an insanely great film! The other movies at the Oscars are all going to secretly know that Smile 2 is the best! Anyone who wins best Actress is also going to know that Naomi Scott is actually the best. Skye Riley's EP is better music than anything out today as well. I've already watched the film 3 times in 1 month, and it's her acting that keeps me coming back!
