Last year’s horror sensation, hailed as the most terrifying film of 2024, is now available for streaming, and fans can finally get their fix of heart-pounding terror.
Smile 2, the eagerly awaited sequel to the spine-chilling 2022 original, has made its way to Paramount+, joining the ranks of popular series like South Park, Frasier, and Star Trek, all of which are easily accessible through the platform’s app or via an Amazon Prime Video add-on subscription.
No Need to Have Seen the First Film
Despite some initial skepticism, horror buffs need not worry about having missed the first movie to enjoy this sequel. Picking up right where the original left off, Smile 2 introduces pop star Skye Riley, played by Naomi Scott, who finds herself cursed as she prepares for a major global tour. As she faces an escalating wave of horrific events and the growing pressure of fame, Skye must confront her dark past to prevent everything from spiraling into chaos.
The film features a stellar cast, including Lukas Gage of You, Rosemarie DeWitt, Kyle Gallner, Miles Guiterrez-Riley, and Ray Nicholson, Jack Nicholson’s son. Though it didn’t quite achieve the same box-office success as its predecessor, Smile 2 earned an impressive 86% on Rotten Tomatoes, surpassing the first film in critical acclaim.
Fans Praise the Sequel’s Terrifying Excellence
Social media is buzzing with horror fans praising the movie’s ability to haunt them long after the credits roll. One viewer wrote, “Smile 2 is honestly top 10 horror movies of the decade.” Another echoed, “#Smile2 is such a welcome surprise. It’s funnier, stranger, bigger, and most importantly, scarier than the original film, expanding the world without ever betraying what made the first film so special. Also, the dance/musical numbers are really killer. Parker Finn is the real deal.”
