Smile 2: Trailer Talk

After the previous film scared audiences in 2022, it’s a surprise to see that the sequel to the horror film ‘Smile’ has taken this long to come around. But the curse has returned once again.

‘Smile 2’ stars Naomi Scott (Aladdin, Power Rangers) as pop sensation Skye Riley, who begins experiencing horrifying events that force her to come face to face with her past.

Trailers can either make or break a film; there have been great trailers for terrible films, and there have been terrible trailers for fantastic films. The sequel has potential to be just as terrifying as the first film, but even the first film had a trailer that felt cheesy and full of cliches; ‘Smile 2’s trailer follows the same pattern. The opening scene looks like something out of a horror film filled with cheap jumpscares.

But the premise is interesting, and the accompanying music is eerie and creepy. Plus, a couple of scenes look like something out of a nightmare: Skye Riley being chased down a narrow hallway by far too many people, and another where she’s grabbed by a crowd of people. It resembles that of a zombie film, and it looks haunting.

Despite the cliché scenes the trailer shows, ‘Smile 2’ does look interesting and some of the other visuals are terrifying. Plus, the first ‘Smile’ film turned out to be fantastic and extremely creepy despite its trailer, so I am still looking forward to this, and being terrified all over again.
