The Smile 2 trailer is here, and it promises an even more unhinged marketing campaign than the first movie.
Now the full trailer for the follow-up has been released and we have a better idea of just what’s going on. Smile 2 stars Aladdin’s Naomi Scott as an international pop star. However, her life of fame and fortune soon comes to a crashing halt when she watches her friend Lewis (Lukas Gage) become possessed with the Smile curse and kill himself with a free weight, passing it on to her. Elsewhere in the trailer we see Skye freaking out as she keeps hallucinating people smiling at her, including a terrifying little girl. Watch the full trailer below.
The links to the first film, which stars Sosie Bacon as a therapist who starts being plagued by spine-chilling visions after she witnesses the violent suicide of her patient, are not quite clear yet. In that, Bacon’s lead discovers she’s adopted a curse which is passed on to those who see someone kill themselves while, you guessed it, smiling in a very unsettling way.
The movie ended in a terrifying sequence where Bacon’s Rose Cotter tried to confront the Smile demon and end the curse for good. However, she failed, killing herself while her ex-partner Joel (Kyle Gallner) looked on, passing the curse to him. We see him in the new trailer very briefly before he’s run over by a car, leaving a bloody print in the snow.
