Parker Finn’s Smile 2 is now playing in theaters for Halloween, and Paramount has come up with a really unique way to allow you to watch the film’s first 7 minutes online… for free!
An official Smile 2 website has been launched this morning, Bloody Disgusting has exclusively learned, with a clip on the front page featuring that opening sequence… but there’s a catch…
The website asks users to turn on their camera and smile in-order for the video to play. It’s responsive so if you aren’t smiling, the video will stop! Can you smile through the scares?
Watch the first 7 minutes of Smile 2 right now… but only if you SMILE!
In Smile 2, “About to embark on a new world tour, global pop sensation Skye Riley (Naomi Scott) begins experiencing increasingly terrifying and inexplicable events.
“Overwhelmed by the escalating horrors and the pressures of fame, Skye is forced to face her dark past to regain control of her life before it spirals out of control.”
The cast for Smile 2 also includes Kyle Gallner (Smile), Rosemarie DeWitt (“The Staircase”), Lukas Gage (“The White Lotus”), and Dylan Gelula (Dream Scenario), alongside Raúl Castillo (Army of the Dead) and Miles Gutierrez-Riley (The Wilds).
Meagan Navarro raves in her 4-star review here on Bloody Disgusting, “As someone who found the first film solid yet ultimately familiar in its influences, Smile 2 makes for one of the year’s biggest horror surprises. Scott delivers a career-defining performance, tackling so many layers to her character and with seemingly effortless ease. The scale is grander, and the scares are far more visceral and violent. But Finn’s mounting confidence and ingenuity are what’s most exciting; this filmmaker has only honed his scare-crafting chops to the sharpest of edges and is having a blast doing it. It makes for a satisfying thrill ride of jaw-dropping horror and unrelenting dread; a perfect Halloween treat for those in need of a good scare — or twenty.”
