Smile 2 review: Naomi Scott lights up demonic horror sequel
In simpler terms, the film Smile from 2022 draws inspiration from classic J-horror movies like Ringu and The Grudge, as well as Final Destination and It Follows. The movie revolves around a chilling series of deaths triggered by an evil, smirking entity that targets its victims one at a time. After terrifying them, the entity compels them to carry out a violent suicide in front of a spectator, who then becomes its next victim.
