She then becomes obsessed with unraveling the mystery of two separate killings: eleven-year-old Tessie Fine and a bartender named Cleo Sherwood.

"Something really crazy is happening to me... I keep seeing this face everywhere." Paramount has revealed the first look teaser trailer for the horror sequel Smile 2, once again directed by creator Parker Finn. This was teased last week by a viral marketing stunt with a music video for a song by the pop star singer who is the lead character in this next one. About to embark on a new world tour, global pop sensation Skye Riley (played by Naomi Scott) begins experiencing increasingly terrifying and inexplicable events. Overwhelmed by the escalating horrors and the pressures of fame, Skye is forced to face her dark past to regain control of her life before it spirals out of control. In addition to Scott starring as Riley, this also features Rosemarie DeWitt, Kyle Gallner (from the first movie), Lukas Gage, Miles Gutierrez-Riley, Peter Jacobson, Raúl Castillo, Dylan Gelula, and Ray Nicholson. Yep this is definitely looking bigger and crazier and scarier than the first Smile! This also reminds me of Vox Lux, which I recommend if you haven't ever seen it. Here's ...
