Our take

Smile 2 follows pop star Skye Riley as the smiling curse returns during a world tour. The MA 15+ rating covers strong bloody violence, language, drug content and suicide themes. Graphic self-harm set pieces, overdose talk, haunted-house dread and constant f-word dialogue run through the film. Much harsher than typical teen horror. Adults and older teens only.

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.
