Man this was a rough year where even the big movies that we hoped for were mostly middling at best and lots more were outright bad.
But to support something I did like
Smile 2
I actually hadn’t seen Smile 1 before seeing this but it had a really great classic horror movie vibe of tension and uncomfortableness leading up to a payoff of just downright hard horror in the style of Edgar Allen Poe or Hereditary. And a second watch is actually great for picking up a lot of clever writing.
Just watched this last night and like the first it’s a genuinely enjoyable popcorn horror.
What I hate is the goddamn monster. It’s stupid. Personal opinion works much better as an unknown but that’s really my only gripe.
I loved the scene with the dancers and them fighting here it was so creative.

I saw Smile 1 and it was fine - Smile 2 took that basic premise turned it up a notch or two. I went I’m with pretty low.expectations but it really delivered. One of the best horror films of the year.
