It’s possible to watch the first few minutes of “Smile 2” online for free if you want to get a little scary.
Paramount has created a website for Halloween where visitors can watch the first 7 minutes of “Smile 2”. The trick to getting into the slot is to turn on the camera and keep smiling. If you stop smiling at any point during the clip, the camera records it and the video is cut off. The paused video continues only when you smile again.
Sit back, smile, and watch the first seven minutes of the movie. Here.
The movie is a sequel to Parker Finn’s original “Smile” from 2022. The films follow people who face repressed traumas in their past and are haunted by visions of people who follow them with rictus smiles until they eventually lead them to suicide. The first movie follows a psychiatrist, but the second installment focuses on a rising pop star tormented by smiling. Here is the official record:
“About to embark on a world tour, international pop star Skye Riley begins to experience increasingly terrifying and unexplainable events. “Overwhelmed by the mounting horrors and pressures of fame, Skye is forced to confront her past.”
The entry was another success story for the series and Paramount. It grossed $23 million in its first weekend. TheWrap critic William Bibbiani said that the second installment of the horror movie was pretty much the same, but that doesn’t mean it was a bad thing.
“‘Smile 2’ is more of the same. Much more of the same. But it’s just as scary, and this time even more vicious and funny, proving that the premise has legs and some resilience too. “Whether there is hope for the rest of us or not, there is still hope in the Smile series, and in a world full of misery and evil, at least this is something we can smile about.”
“Smile 2” stars Naomi Scott, Rosemarie DeWitt, Ray Nicholson, Dylan Gillula, Lucas Gage, Miles Gutierrez Riley, and Peter Jacobson.
