The teaser for Smile 2 opens with a chilling overhead shot of a dimly lit room, the same eerie sense of dread from the first film ever-present. Naomi Scott, playing Dr. Rachel Collins, is introduced as a trauma specialist investigating a series of strange, smiling deaths. Her initial calm demeanor quickly dissolves as she watches footage of a victim, who was inexplicably grinning in the moments before their horrific demise.
Cut to Lukas Gageβs character, Ryan, a new patient haunted by nightmares of a shadowy figure. In one intense scene, he nervously confesses to Rachel that he keeps seeing people smiling at him in public places β but when he turns back, their faces are normal. As tension builds, Rachel begins to experience the same phenomena, with smiles appearing in reflections, screens, and even her own mind.
Quick flashes of disturbing images take over the screen β a disfigured face with an unnatural grin, hands clawing through dark water, and a bloodied smile painted on a mirror. Naomi Scottβs character is shown frantically tearing through old files, discovering links to a series of suicides that happened decades earlier, all tied to the same sinister force.
The teaser ends with an unsettling shot: Rachel standing frozen in front of a mirror. Behind her, the shadowy figure appears, grinning wider and wider until it snaps into reality, taking over her reflection. The screen cuts to black, with the whisper of βsmileβ echoing ominously.
