- Writer-director Parker Finn returns to helm Smile 2, picking up where the first film left off. This time, we’re introduced to pop superstar Skye Riley, played by Naomi Scott, who is trying to rebuild her career after a personal and public meltdown.
Following a car accident that killed her boyfriend Paul, Skye has been fighting her demons. Clean and sober, she’s now preparing for a comeback world tour, but things quickly spiral out of control when she becomes the latest victim of the malevolent entity from the first film.

I wonder how it'd work if the entity spread it to someone with psychopathy or someone who handles trauma insanely well. Cause like without trauma or those emotions, no power
-Smile Entity tries to scare someone
'Oh Shit! You're so cool! How do you work? Can you be anyone? Can you be my cat and do a creepy smile???'
Or someone who isn't scared of anything. He'd be like, damn, that's crazy, now move😂
I feel like the entity would manipulate them into killing someone brutally in front of a witness to pass on the its next victim. That how the one person that survived the entity managed to survive.
i think the next movie is gonna be a suicide apocalypse movie
Perhaps the entity is picky and doesn't go after everyone. Like the anti naughty list. Lol
My main question is:
Since thousands of people were now exposed, does the entity just have to go one by one? It's just one entity, so it's pretty funny to think about it getting bogged down from tens of thousands of individuals every day, or having to spend essentially a few decades at a 9-5 to get to every person there.
And also, since multiple people can be witness to and potentially affected by the curse, and tens of thousands were just exposed, this means every human on Earth could be affected by the curse within a few weeks (if we assume the entity is able to go after them all at once).
In the first film, the prisoner who survived the curse mentions there have "been other chains in the past" so it could be the case that multiple chains could be spawned from an event like that. Perhaps that's how the entity reproduces.
I mean it’s a paranormal entity so it could very well be in several places at once. Maybe it doesn’t have a singular self like humans and other animals do, maybe it’s more like a force of nature than a single being.
"So on monday I go to timmy, if i'm doing it right it's done by friday, then I go to vanessa"
I'd like to think it can infect them all but can only torment one person at a time. The others are infected asymptomatically until it's their turn to suffer.
Yep literally a viral curse with a 7 day gestation period before it matures and can transmit. The smart move would be to have a Paramount + T.V. miniseries called Smile - The Clear Skye Curse. With Darius her Record Company head launching a Crisis Charity called Clear Skyes to treat those affected at the concert all done on a Better Help style call. We see each Episode those who have been stuck in a que for 6 days finally getting a Clear Skyes Councilor as The Smile Entity completes it's cycle. Like a live stream you get digital distortion seeing the Monstrosity manifest in a variety of different ways showing that there are individual strains of the curse not just one all competing with each other to dominate their influence getting stronger with each mind consumed.
The demon/entity feels like it belongs in the Lovecraft world.
Yeah, it feels like it would be from the same world as the IT
@@Ryan_McGee it’s probably some kind of eldritch being.
It’s not a demon it’s a entity the movie never said it was a demon
I enjoyed the video and you made some solid points, but I was really happy with the movie’s ending. It outdid the first movie’s ending. I also prefer to leave the monster in mystery, but I did really like your idea of how to beat it. Maybe if Sky or Rose actually confronted their pasts then the monster would have less power over them. Rose never spoke about how her mother really died and Sky never confessed her part in her boyfriend’s death either. If they had (regardless of the eyes of the law), would they have essentially beaten the monster?? It’s an idea I would love to see explored.
Is it just me or has this been uploaded before?
It has. Maybe it was reuploaded after being deleted for whatever reason
No
Original got hit with copyright claim so he re-edited
Yes it is.
@@sweettt321maybe now that it’s released on streaming he’s able to use better quality footage.
The scariest part for me is at 13:07
That shit stain on those underwear.
😂
Yeah, definitely imagine if he threw the under at hair and it hit in the face ugh
I wonder if there is possibility of someone who is immune to Smile entity? Like Psychopaths or true evil people.
I was wondering what would happen to someone with schizoaffective disorder. Or someone who just already experiences hallucinations, voices, and such on a daily basis
Maybe just blind people because they can't really witness (see) the suicides.
@@adl0815I wonder that too, but to hear gross sounds like that can probably mess your head up too
Or people who doesn’t know feels like to be traumatize?
The part in the movie when she escapes the hospital but then steps on glass was the scariest moment for me
Naomi Scott is really believable as a fictional pop star.
I'm surprised to hear Smile is a "Hit" because, while I personally did enjoy it, I've seen more comments online calling it Boring than I have saying it's a Good movie. That gives me the impression that the overwhelming majority of people have a negative opinion of the film.
Need to remember that people are more likely to take the time to deride something than to praise it. Negative bias is a hell of a thing on the internet.
In saying that, I’ve seen mostly ‘good but nothing exceptional’ as the general consensus
This is the first film in a long time to get me several times with jump scares. Which is my biggest criticism of the film. Perhaps I was just too invested in the film. Sucks because so many scenes in the first are still so effective but jump scares only work once.
Smile 1 was underwhelming, but Smile 2 has received the praise it deserves. I haven't been that uncomfortable and anxious watching a horror movie since years ago, everything about the movie was done right and could not have been made any better, that's how good it was in my opinion.
Smile and it's sequel reminds me of 'It Follows' and 'The Ring'.
In 'It Follows', a young woman is haunted by an entity that she can only see after an encounter through physical contact, the movie shows the dangers of STD's and reasons why to use protection.
In 'The Ring', a young woman is trying to solve a curse after watching a video tape and has 7 days to live before the curse kills her.
I loved the soundtracks in this movie. They did a really good job 👏🏽
I've discovered another plot hole: if Gemma and Sky never reconnected and everything from when Sky refused to wear her new costume was just a hallucination from the Smile entity, how did her mother and Gemma interact at 13:39? Also, the entire subplot with the ER nurse was also the Smile entity's doing.
Gemma’s interaction with Elizabeth at 13:39 is NOT a plot hole; it’s actually a subtle hint used to clue the audience in that something is not right with Gemma. Remember, prior to this scene, Elizabeth was encouraging Skye to get back in touch with Gemma as a way to motivate her to stay in a performance-conducive mindset, meaning if Gemma was actually real, Elizabeth would have had a visible reaction to her the moment she walked into the room; aaaahhhh but she didn’t. And then, if that was too subtle to pick up on (which it is), the film tries to cheekily send another hint your way by having Elizabeth NOT respond to Gemma when the latter says hi to her.
Now why would Elizabeth just flat out ignore someone who Skye (and presumably herself) haven’t seen in a year? The scene happens so fast that you don’t think about it; but again, during the entirety of it, Elizabeth never once acknowledges Gemma’s existence; and of course she wouldn’t, because she can’t see her. The smile demon on the other hand, can perceive her, and trollingly says hi because it’s an asshole
They didnt interact lol. Gemma just said hello. Thats it.
But they didn’t interact. “Gemma” said hi but her mom didn’t say or do anything in acknowledgement
Those 2 movies scared the hell outta me when i watched them
you sound like your scared of your own shadow
Is it me or was the truck going REALLY fast in a residential area?
Like it meant to do that
I'd be leaving the scene quickly if I'd heard gunshots while driving
When she snapped back to reality.......oh there goes gravity. (Couldn't help myself.)
Hell yea! I have been waiting for you to cover this one!!!!
Thanks for the video!
cool i was waiting for your take. cheers
I really enjoyed Smile, even though in some online circles, it seemed to garner a lot of undue criticism that I didn't understand. I haven't seen Smile 2 yet, but I'm keen to watch! Excellent video, Niyat.
stopping your heart to trick the entity actually sounds pretty smart, if people kept diaries or something (like the paintings she finds) with a detailed explanation of how the monster works it could be stopped like that, assuming stopping your heart works, the second way would be to die without anybody ever knowing I guess, pretty terrifying but it is sort of like eliminating the entity forever.
I have a theory, but I am sure everyone has already talked about it to death, but here goes:
I believe that Skye never even made it past the third/fourth day - well at least her mind didn't. I think within plus-minus 48hrs, Skye was already 'gone' and we were just witnessing whatever little hope was left in her subconscious. Things descended rapidly, and another theory I have was that Morris was never real. The minute he walks out the freezer, we never see him ever again, and the first time we are introduced to him as he texts her it wasn't any longer than 2 days (correct me if I am wrong. I will be doing a rewatch). Morris not being real ties back to my first theory of why Skye was gone before we even knew it and we just witnessed hope.
But why would the Entity conjure up a stranger for wishful hopelessness? Some people actually have an easier time talking to strangers about what they're going through because that stranger doesn't know them - it is a clean slate, and that gave her some bit of hope because unlike those around her, a stranger has no reason or benefit to judge and expect anything of her.
I'm going to lie, when Joel died, I laughed. Being so sudden and unexpected was what made it funny.
The Entity had Skye in that tsukuyomi fr
Very happy its back up. I got to watch this.
As soon as i realized the main victim was a popstar i saw the end coming but that didn't make it any less terrifying.
I was waiting for this vid bro! I wanted to see your take on it cause the Smile Entity is a lot more powerful now!
Hello. I’m a huge fan of you Niyat. Please do a video on Grave Encounters. Please. Have a great day. You produce great videos.
I loved both movies. I hope there’s a Smile 3.
But what would happened if the demon possessed a serial killer who is insane with no emotions
I'd really like to hear your take on The Collector and The Collection
I hope we get an apocalyptic event in smile 3. Something like quiet place day 1 but just people scarring people all over the place.
The jump scares are easily my biggest criticism of the film. The only work once while so many scenes in the first are still effective.
honestly, I feel like we could've got a lot more of her and her celeb life. Would prefer it as a TV show
This series as really grown on me. I hope Morris was real and I wonder what will happen after this mass cursing.
I'm youre 1000th like
Wouldn’t it have been cool if the demon visited M. Night Shyamalan’s daughter’s character from ‘Trap’, Lady Raven? 😅 Like an amalgamation of the two movies…..
Imagine if this thing infected Deadpool, thing be so annoyed by him be like "Yeah, ya know what? Imma go to the next person he meets"
I just saw this a few hours ago
Smile for the camera people
To those who care, hello and have a good day!👋❤️
Maybe smile! 😁
Please explore The Ancient Enemy from The Phantoms.
2 minutes ago was diabolical
This movie was AWESOME
So basically if you haven't seen it yet you just have to not go on the internet cause everybody will spoil it for you lmfao
Everything after the apartment chase scene is an illusion until the concert. What that mean is skye girl friend could still be real at the apartment scene.
What happened with Lewis? He undressed, ran after her then her friend showed up and they went to sleep?!
almost like sadako just without the tape
So Dr Taub from House M.D. wasn’t real?
Just watched the film
And was looking for your take on it
Perfect timing
DAMN I'm early
It actually ended up being petty damn good
You already did a video on this movie
reupload?
I really wish you hadn't put a screen grab from the very end of the damn movie in your thumbnail. Terrible form.
A movie sequel they didn't butcher in 2024? Actually surprised how well they did with this.
Dune part 2 anyone?
Nah you're both robots them movies were terrrrible
9:30 the shining
What’s worse it follows or smile
i think the next movie is gonna be a suicide apocalypse movie
I thought Morris wasn’t real?🤨
Meh...
I'll pass. The first one cannot be sequeled.
0:11 HEROBRINE?!?!?!
my heavily armed securitron bots would not allow this to happen in the vegas strip… come to the new vegas strip ur safe there..
Wow, I had no idea the ending was coming the way it was until we got into that final performance. Guess I’m not as perceptive as these RUclips geniuses. So sick of the negative comments/reviews. I know this video is half and half about this movie but honestly I thought it was great, obviously a 3rd movie is set up that’ll probably go much better if they get deeper into the entity’s backstory.
It was pretty obvious in the trailer if you had seen the first one
@
I didn’t really pay attention to the trailers for smile. I saw them but didn’t spend any time with trying to understand what was coming in the movie. I really think the movie was done well & I like the ending but was definitely disappointed with the lack of fleshing out what this entity is all about. There must be some lore about it.
The ending was so predictable, there was no way it wasn't ending with her on stage self deleting. The movie became far too boring once you know Gemma was fake the whole time, the no interaction between Gemma and the mom was a dead give away the rest of the movie was all in her head and waste of our time.
@
Ohh, ok.
Dudes Ripoff of Xastur. Should we call him the king in smile? 😁
Wtf happened to your Mic? Haven’t watched in months and come back to a worse Mic?
*_STUPIDEST VILLAIN DESIGN EVER_*
Complete garbage 🚮
How was the ending predictable for you?? Her emerging onto the stage at the end after being in the Pizza Hut walk-in freezer was not predictable at at.
Anyone could tell the whole pizza hut thing wasn't real. The ending was predictable because there's no way she wasn't gonna end up on stage in front of millions. This movie was boring after the opening with Joel.
This is not horror; it is psychological torture porn. The main character never had a chance of survival nor did anyone else cursed by the demon.
Here’s hoping the third movie changes that!
Hmmm idk bro seems pretty horrific to me.
That is literally what horror is... Or at least the good one. There's nothing in cheap jumpscarea
@@marianoherrera6038this movie is nothing but cheap jumpscares.
The only terror about Smile 2 is when I saw it was 2 hour long before I was dragged into the theater
I have to disagree with the negatives you discussed. The jump scares were perfectly timed and not used much. There was two. The ones that are more creepy to me was the dance crew. That was just no incarnate.
As for the subplot you mention and that it goes no where. Duh. Thats the point.
Moris was NEVER real. The plan was over the top because the demon was fucking with her. Though, we've seen similar devices used in movies to beat demons or such and in your reviews, you've not said they were outlandish.
Everything past the dance crew scene was a complete and total hallucination. The demon put sky in the backseat and took over to mend the damage it caused in real life, to get its ass on stage for its grand performance.
Pizza hut never happened.
And some people think it's lazy writing, but I like it. Its exactly what a sadistic, petty ass demon who gets off on fucking with people would do. Making you think there is hope, just to present it as a lie the entire time, that will completely destroy you. That's why the demon likes using it.
If that happened to any of us, finding out the hope we had to kill this thing or to be free was just another form of its torture... what else would you do besides give up? Anything you do can be a trick. You'll never know what's real at that point and that destruction of that perception of reality is what the demon needs to possess someone.
Kind of like hoodoo. It only works and affects you if you believe.
The jump scares were terrible and easy to see coming from miles a way. They used constant jump scares to make up for the fact the movie was far too predictable. Everything after Gemma coming over was fake, it was from that point on nothing in the movie mattered. It was boring after that point, the only good part of the movie was the opening till they killed Joel.
@Cwhirt910 Predictable doesn't mean bad. If you establish rules for an entity, then it must follow those rules. This movie is not meant to be a horror movie. Its more like The Father with horror elements within.
Clearly, you missed the point and can't see deeper meanings. So maybe watching the father wouldn't be good for you. Wouldn't appreciate or understand it.
There were only a handful of jump scares, so saying they were overused is laughable. More often, we see her reaction before we even see the scary thing ourselves, so clearly, jump scares are not the priority. The priority is seeing this person break down completely and watching that happen.
You already know how the demon operates. You, as te viewer, expect it to do what it has done. And does it make sense for it to not? If you're a killer demon, why change what works? Clearly, it's method is 100% effective.
The demon isn't trying to posses you. Its not that type of movie trying to induce terror or disgust in the viewer. Its shocking and grotesque to see the kills, but those are sprinkles on the cake. This is a psychological thriller type movie. We watch the fall of a person, just like in the father.
Thats why I like this movie far more than the first. The actresses performance is amazing. She makes you belive she's going insane. some elements of the movie could be more gore, like the terrifier, but to me that was boring. Just like devils rejects and house of 1000 corpses.
over the top gore and saying fuck every 10sec is not bold or interesting. I've seen people in real life turned into paste or blown apart. I've seen what humanity is capable of. So gore in movies just doesn't do it for me. Real life is worse.
But having your mind fucked with to such a degree. I thi k we all share that fear. Of losing control. Of waking up not knowing where we are, how we got there, or doing things we don't ever recall doing and never would thi k we'd do. As humans, we like control. We like to feel like we matter.
This entity throws all that in your face and makes you its bitch and there's literally nothing you can do about it. Sometimes, you dont win. And that's scary. Knowing no matter what you do, you're dead. Because it's true in real life. We all fight to survive, to have good jobs or seem important. We eat healthy and stay active to live longer, all knowing we were dead the moment we were born. We live to die.
I never understand some of the complaints against this movie. The "It's all in your head" trope is the BACKBONE of the entire premise. The demon/entity/eldritch being literally lives in your mind and makes you see and experience things that aren't real.
If you don't like the use of that trope, that's fine but you can't go into Star Trek and complain about the use of sci-fi tropes. That's kind of the entire point?
Am I missing something? I can understand not liking the execution of a trope but when the one thing we know about this creature is that it invades your mind and makes you see things that aren't there, I feel like complaining about that is like complaining about the sun hurting your eyes when you stare directly at it.
The issue is, the movie was predictable and you could tell where it was gonna end up once Skye meets the fake Gemma. There was no surprises, the all in your head ruined this movie where as the first movie still had some real scenes versus just in her head.
Terrible movie
Brainless take
Didn't like this one bruh
If sarcasm burned calories, I'd be a supermodel by now😚
