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.

Chuck Bowen

Style Weekly (Richmond, VA)

The film’s ending, a knockout, likens the modern media fame game to nothing less than ritual sacrifice.

Fun in the moment, but ultimately nothing too memorable.

A better film could have been made from this situation, had it not been part of the “Smile” franchise.

The movie was exciting fast paced. It was expected and more frightening on the edge of my seat.

"Smile 2" has a body slam of a pre-credit sequence and that helps keep the slow burn of the first half of the film tolerable. The film is definitely a showcase for Naomi Scott, -perhaps too much of a showcase, as the film is long, -but she's a much more convincing "Pop Star" than M Night's daughter in "Trap". Parker Finn maintains a genuinely creepy vibe throughout the film, the jumps are effective, and the violent bits genuinely made me wince.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Enjoyable and a fun watch with really good scares, confusing ending but what led up to it made up for it the cg was eh sometimes but still fun.
