As a seasoned gamer and horror movie enthusiast with over two decades of spine-tingling experiences under my belt, I must say that the upcoming Smile 2 has piqued my interest like no other. Having survived countless nights of sleepless terror thanks to films from the genre’s greats, I can confidently say that the concept of a cursed pop concert tour is an exciting twist on the horror formula.
If you’re curious about where the series’ eerie smile originated from, Parker Finn can provide the answer.)
The initial film in the series presented viewers with a grin that’s best not gazed upon for extended periods, lest you encounter chilling visions afterwards. In Smile 2, a popular musician encounters the infamous curse that accompanies her throughout her global tour. Director Parker Finn recently discussed the origin of the terrifying expression and how to convincingly portray it.
As a fan, I’d rephrase it like this: “When you smile, Finn suggests doing it in a natural, friendly manner. Avoid overdoing it or causing strain to your face. The eyes should be detached from the smile, and the head should be positioned slightly. There’s even a slight head tilt involved, plus we can’t forget about the ‘Kubrick Stare,’ which we incorporated into our approach. Ultimately, it’s all about mastering the art of filmmaking through framing and design.
In the thrilling teaser for Smile 2, there’s an actor who seems strikingly similar to Jack Nicholson’s chilling smile from The Shining, a classic movie of his. Interestingly, this actor is none other than Ray Nicholson, Jack Nicholson’s son, who appears in the horror film’s sequel. In Smile 2’s promotional materials, Ray Nicholson seems to embody his father’s eerie grin, and it’s said that he managed to nail the unsettling smile scenes in a single take at just 32 years old.
The future of the Smile franchise
As for if Parker Finn envisions a future third Smile movie, he told THR he feels very confident.
There are numerous intriguing paths that the character “Smile” could explore. We’ll need to observe how viewers respond to “Smile 2,” but what makes “Smile” appealing is the potential to narrate a wide range of varied stories, immersing ourselves in different realms, and then “Smile” disrupts this normalcy.
Every new installment in a horror series carries the promise of raising the fear factor, enticing viewers to crave even more. If you’re prepared to confront more chilling smiles, the release of Smile 2 is scheduled for October 18 at cinemas.
