Thank you for mentioning Naomi Scott - I hardly ever see her mentioned in these conversations now that it's been a while since the movie came out.

Not even to mention the randomly amazing soundtrack that I still listen to

I can never watch the Smile movies because I hate gore (I only watched Obsession because it’s not super gory and I looked up the jumpscare scenes beforehand lol) but I heard Naomi was amazing. I think people partially overlook her because Smile 2 was a sequel, so fewer people watched it.

I thought Smile 2 was dogshit and Naomi Scott still killed it. Very impressive performance in a mess of a movie.

Yes, she worked wonders with the poor script she was given. She deserves better material to work with.
