I had no idea what was going on, but it did scare me. LOL

Having not seen Smile 1 or its short film predecessor Laura Hasn't Slept, I had no expectations going into the movie. I was afraid I might be lost but there seemed to be only minor continuity between the movies. For those who saw the first movie the schtick of a menacingly smiling specter may have been old hat, but the movie used it judiciously to invoke feelings of unease and dread.

Seemed like a whole mind game. Different from the first one. Not sure the ending was the best. How will the next play out with so many people seeing the smile at the end.

It was entertaining, but didn’t live up to the first movie.\rIt gave more questions and answered none of them or from the first film. I loved the actors and their performances were amazing, but it seemed more like a straight to streaming movie
