“Bolder, nastier and bloodier” – promises director Parker Finn of “Smile 2,” rated R-18, uncut, opening in cinemas October 16

“The sequel goes bigger, it goes bolder,” promises writer/director/producer Parker Finn of Smile 2, follow-up to breakout psychological horror hit Smile. “It’s way more off the rails, it’s nastier, it’s bloodier. Everything you loved about the first film, we do that ten times bigger.”

In the Smile universe, the entity or curse transfers from one victim to another by taking control of the current host and compelling them to end their own life in front of a witness – while sporting a frighteningly creepy smile, an unsettling image that has now become iconic in the world of horror movies. That witness then becomes the next victim and once inside them, the entity infiltrates the crevices of the victim’s mind, weaponizing their thoughts against them and gradually exerting greater control over their reality, manipulating their perceptions and actions. 

“We watched that happen in the first film, and I wanted to find new ways to trick both Skye and the audience,” says Finn.
