Movies like Smile 2

“Smile 2 (2024) is a 2020s American horror-thriller that grafts slasher and body-horror grammar onto a celebrity narrative. It stages a performer’s unraveling with propulsive pacing, high-contrast chiaroscuro and claustrophobic backstage/hospital interiors as repressed memory and escalating corporeal incidents converge. The film argues that contemporary fame can be read as a vector of psychological and bodily peril.”
