The original Smile centered on a psychiatric doctor who witnessed the gruesome, self-inflicted death of one of her patients.

Now, the highly anticipated sequel, Smile 2 , takes the previously established creepy grin curse from the first film.

The movie's finale was tantalizingly open-ended, leaving the door ajar for even more mayhem.

Naomi Scott is marvelous as our doomed heroine, acting like a diva at her wit's end.

Smile 2 delivers the thrills and chills of its predecessor with an even more pronounced funhouse feel.

The twists and turns of Finn 's script can be just as shocking as many of the jump scares.

The body horror dial feels a bit more turned up, with less time spent on explanations since audiences have seen the original.
