The scar on Skye’s knee is shaped like a smile
Synopsis
As she embarks on a world tour, global pop sensation Skye Riley begins to experience increasingly terrifying and unexplainable events. Overwhelmed by the mounting horrors and pressures of fame, Skye is forced to confront her past. In one scene, Skye places a bottle of VOSS water on a stone/marble kitchen counter and a noise is heard that matches the sound of a plastic object being placed.

VOSS water bottles are made of glass, something that is specifically emphasized in the film, and so the audio does not match the action seen. Skye Riley: [to Smile Entity] You’re not in control, I am! .
Now I’m eagerly awaiting the third installment
Smile 2 is a must-watch for horror fans, offering a solid continuation of the series that keeps you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. I wasn’t familiar with the franchise before I watched the first film and I’m glad I did. It’s rare that a horror sequel outdoes its predecessor, but Smile 2 manages to do just that.
The ending, however, is the film’s only real flaw
The performances are excellent and the pacing keeps you fully engaged. After such a thrilling experience, the conclusion feels unsatisfying and unclear, leaving the audience without a clear resolution. While it maintains the suspense, it doesn’t reward the viewer for investing in the story.
