Our take
Smile 2 follows pop star Skye Riley as the smiling curse returns during a world tour. The R rating covers strong bloody violence, language, drug content, and suicide themes. Expect graphic self-harm set pieces, overdose talk, haunted-house dread, and constant f-word dialogue. Much harsher than typical teen horror. Adults and older teens only
Uplifting themes
Facing the past is attempted, but horror overwhelms uplift
Story (may spoil tone)
About to embark on a new world tour, global pop sensation Skye Riley begins experiencing increasingly terrifying and inexplicable events. Overwhelmed by the escalating horrors and the pressures of fame, Skye is forced to face her dark past to regain control of her life before it spirals out of control.

Talk after watching
- Fame and trauma collide for Skye. How does pressure make horror feel personal?
- The film shows addiction relapse and therapy. What support systems matter when fear takes over?
