Writer-director Parker Finn took a simple idea and crafted the surprise horror hit of 2019. In the sequel, the smile curse spreads as an international pop star (Naomi Scott aka Jasmine in Disney’s live action Aladdin) catches the smile curse just as she’s about to begin her world tour. The original Smile thrilled audiences to the tune of $217 million at the worldwide box office, and Smile 2 has the potential to beat that as the must-see horror film of spooky season.
