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.
