    One of the aspect that really stands out is the Naomi Scott's acting. This movie for me really put her in the map. Her acting was phenomenal. She really nailed it portraying someone who is slowly descending into madness.

      I’d say the same for Sosie Bacon in the original Smile. Naomi does a AMAZING job & delivered the performance of a lifetime.
      I realize in the Smile films you ABSOLUTELY HAVE to be a great actor to be casted. Without the main character the Smile films aren’t as effective.

Saw it in a premium screen with an engaged crowd (except some tweens that kept walking endlessly thru the side aisles) and the movie was gorgeous to look at, terrifying and so intense. Naomi Scott's performance I think should be Oscar-worthy, the twists and turns this movie took, the set pieces, the sequences... Everything in it was absolutely amazing! Definitely one of the best horror sequels and horror movies or movies in general of this year.
    Also that one jumpscare with the phone... The way I literally JUMPED from my seat and left me with my mouth gaping open! 🤣

Not just actors and actresses who were good FOR a horror movie, but actually giving great acting performances. She was great, she wasn't even really a likable characters in terms of who she is as a person and yet she is so good in the role that she was captivating.

      I loved this movie, but there were definitely a few scary scenes that could've held the tension and done something really unsettling, but instead ended with a - granted, really good - jumpscare. Take the icebox scene, the night Jemma slept over, the man in the mirror. They all had me holding my breath, and they built it up well. I personally just feel like they popped the tension in an "easy" and fast way when they could've drawn it out and done something really fun.
      The "dancing horde" and the initial death scene were exactly what I wanted with all the others, and they prove the director had the potential, and just decided on other ways of handling it.

The pace of the movie, from the very start it jumps right into it and doesn't let go for a moment to let the audience breathe. Especially with help from the score, it sets the tension and dread right when those first notes hit. It's play on trauma and how it affects a person is appreciated because it's done well and it's done right while maintaining the horror of the Smile demon. I would even say melding with it. I.cannot wait for the 3rd movie.

    You always give movies a fair shot in your reviews. Whether you think they're good or bad, effective or weak, you always approach them fairly. Not like some other snarky reviewers who want to sound like the cool kids who are smarter than everyone else. Good on you sir!

    Yo! Experiencing MEAN GIRLS (the musical - the Halloween scene) and JOKER 2 this year. I could easily spot the inspiration and influence. I couldn’t help but wonder if this year was the year musicals were making a comeback. Deadpool & Wolverine kind of went there with their opening sequence. Then we have WICKED coming out in a few weeks.
    All in all. Watching SMILE 2 last night made me think what if JOKER 2 came out after this movie. Because the treatment for SMILE 2 was very similar to Folie à Deux in alot of ways. I thought it was creative and smart to heal traumatic social themes with a few musical numbers. *Jazz hands

      HAHA I said the same thing. When her dancers were after her I was waiting for jazz hands. Unlike you, hated it. At least it deadpool it was played for laughs....another movie that didn't quite succeed and was a big disappointment as a sequel.

      @@orange222... so I wasn’t reaching 😁 I feel like everyone was told if you going to put out a gritty movie in 2024 (including Terrifier three 🤣) you would have to do some type of musical number in your film…so we don’t fall into this deep depression that these stories are trying to tell us. I will say the dancers in the MEANS GIRL & SMILE 2 movies deserve awards for the visual displays they gave us. Soooo dope‼️

      @@SuperExtrovert that was a great scene when they came after her in her apartment but I feel musical numbers just don't fit in most films that aren't musicals. As for the rest of the dancing it was adequate, I felt they had to dance to her skill level. She was a competent imitator but not a skilled dancer. Perhaps it was just the choreography but seems like they did such a good job with the one scene they had more untapped talent than was shown in the dance numbers which were pretty formulaic.

    Good review - however, a few minutes ago I watched Ryan George's new video that had a creepy jump scare, then watched this video that also had a creepy jump scare, so I'm now all jump-scared-out for the rest of the year, thanks guys😆.
