Naomi Scott deserves the Oscar for Best Lead Actress for this, she just absolutely brilliant, rich proformance from her that draws us into her world and experience. I never say Smile 1 so I went into this unbiased by that. This is psychological almost lovecraftian horror that makes me thing of the Chronicles of Darkness multiverse. It's gory at times, has some of the BEST jump scares I've never seen.I put this up their in the Hellraiser Tier were the best Hellraiser movies dwell. The Smile Entity is creepy and terrifying in a way that nothing other then the best of Hellraiser movies have been able to achieve. Naomi Scott is amazing singer and you can find like an albums worth of songs she sings from the movie. One hell of a redemption arc, a redemption that proved to be just a trap, and her worst nightmare realized. It's messes with your head, great twists, deep characters, all kinds if different types of scares, and sets up a bright (dark) future for the Franchise. With word of mouth expect this movie to have legs. I hope Spirit Halloween has some Smile Entity merch next year. Also it's fun to speculate on what exactly the Smile Entity is, like is it a demon, a ghost, a living meme, a psychic alien, just an infectious mental disorder, lovecraftian horror, one of the Furies from Greek Myth, who knows. There is still mystery there. With Skye infecting her whole audience at the end, Smile 3 is actually set up to be very different, the stakes go from just personal, to global fast. I went for my birthday and had a blast and some scares.</blockquote>
