    If you haven't seen any of the trailers for this movie and you're interested in seeing it, don't watch them. They show WAY too much of the 3rd act.

    I think Smile 2 was so good, I mean it was scene after scene that just got more intense each time… also the jump scares wasn’t ur average jump scare, a lot of them got me and i appreciated that. The last 25 minutes goes off the rails in the best way and I loved the first Smile but I think this movie definitely out did it.

    Criminally un-subscribed UA-cam channel, mate! Your breakdown/reviews aren’t just “this part sucked” or I didn’t like this bit”. Hope your sub-base grows! ✊🏼

    Yes, this movie has some shortcomings (for instance we could do with a little fewer jump scares) but I had a blast watching in. Actually I liked it more than the previous one. Now spoilers, and why I think both endings actually work, though I would leave the demon to viewers imagination.This is the trauma demon, it is very difficult/impossible to overcome trauma without help. And both characters are lonely. Particularly Skye. She is also traumatized much more that Rose was, she deliberately caused the crash which killed her boyfriend and badly injured herself. That is why she was a "better" host for the demon, easier to overcome. The tragedy of Skye lies also in the fact that the only way to escape the demon would come at a horrific cost for her, worse then death. Maybe it is good that she does not know it, only the viewer does. She would have to kill again, this time it would have to be deliberate premeditated murder. Not an impulse in a drunk/drugged state. Naomi Scott gave a phenomenal performance. To me that is the role of 2024, male or female.

    Do people actually find the smiling gimmick to be creepy? the whole "creepy smile" thing has just been so over done in horror, I just find it cringey at this point. I feel like it was done a bit more tastefully in the first one, whereas in this movie someone would do the "creepy smile" before every single scare, and sometimes the "scare" its self would just be someone smiling. Idk, there were some good parts and the movie wasnt horrible, but it felt like bubblegum popcorn horror cloaked in smart cinematography and cool sound design

      🤷‍♂️ Depends who's smiling. I wouldn't call most of them creepy looking.

    Finn Parker is a director to watch.
    I just hope he will show us he can do more than Smile.
    I would prefer he doesn’t do smile 3 next.

    imo I couldn’t feel connected or empathy for the main character. The first movie did it better somehow.

    I think the ending of Smile 1 was fitting
    Rose made progress, she took a step forward but not nearly enough to fully beat her trauma and she knew that
    And yes these movies have heavy symbolism but its also gonna follow the rules of the curse despite if it makes sense symbolically or not cause at the end of the movie that thing still is an acutal demon that they arent completely sure on how to deffeat yet

    I don’t think it’s just allegory.
    I think it’s also about a literal demon that feeds on victims who are vulnerable due to trauma.
    The ending of smile makes sense because it’s not an allegory about overcoming trauma. It’s a film about a demon who preys on broken people.
    Analyzing films for themes is fun but I think you are trying to make these movies more about subtext than letting it be a horror film, about a truly scary idea.

      Well sure. It's certainly still about a reality/memory distorting monster. I'd be hard pressed to believe she'd stuff her cat in a child's birthday present and forgot about it entirely, solely because of unresolved trauma. It is still a supernatural horror story on the surface. Digging deeper is just what I do on this channel. 😉
