Horror sequel Smile 2 makes it very clear from minute one that it won't be taking any prisoners. The much anticipated follow-up to writer/director Parker Finn's 2022 breakout hit Smile kicks events off with a bang, beginning with a striking and brutal one-shot scene. Of course, we won't be diving into spoilers here - you'll have to see the film for yourself - but what we can tell you is that it makes an immediate impression.
Which is exactly what Finn was hoping to achieve, who returns to helm this second installment. Speaking to GamesRadar+, he reveals that with the opening he wanted to do something he hadn't done before, whilst throwing audiences right into the action. Finn explains: "Where the first film ended, I knew I wanted to have some connective tissue, a sort of through line between them, and so it felt like a natural place to start.
