Critics Consensus

Blessed with a nerve-jangling star turn by Naomi Scott, writer-director Parker Finn broadens Smile's conceit into a pop stardom nightmare that'll leave a rictus grin on horror fans' faces.

Audience Says

Taking the initial premise to horrifying new levels of twisted, Smile 2 installs Naomi Scott as a scream queen and cements a beaming franchise.

Wendy Ide

Observer (UK)

The special effects are bracingly revolting, the malevolent smiles as creepy as ever. And the film has the added bonus of some killer choreography, in every sense of the word.

Rated: 4/5

While I’m sure I’ll again be in the minority, for all of its obvious strengths, and just like its predecessor, Smile 2 made me angry, and that’s all there is to say.

Rated: 1.5/4

FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

This is the rare case of a horror sequel that is better than the original.

Vague Visages

“While there’s a great movie hiding inside a solid one, ‘Smile 2’ remains one of the most demonically entertaining horror films of the year through Finn’s twisted and refreshing style.”

Ian Bunting

Daily Record (UK)

This follow-up’s two biggest strengths are its lead actress and the stunning shooting style.

A Nightmare On Fierce Street Podcast

Smile 2 has some strong performances and cool camera work. However, it also muddles its own lore and takes the predictable route to the obvious conclusions.

Rated: 2/5

Smile 2 is absolutely terrifying in the best way possible! It takes everything that worked in the first movie and cranks it up a notch. The scares are creative and genuinely unsettling, and the psychological tension keeps you on edge from start to finish. The story dives even deeper into the eerie mythology behind the curse, and the characters feel real and relatable, making their fear hit even harder. The visuals are haunting, and the sound design will have you jumping at the smallest noises. If you’re a fan of horror that messes with your head, this is a must-watch!
