Smile 2, the horror sequel directed by Parker Finn, hit theaters on October 18. Fans of Finn’s eerie universe now have the chance to catch the first seven minutes of the film online. But there’s a twist, Paramount has made the preview available for free, with a unique challenge: viewers must keep a steady smile on their faces throughout the entire clip.

The film follows pop sensation Skye Riley, played by Naomi Scott, as she grapples with terrifying and inexplicable events, all while navigating the intense pressures of fame. Upon visiting the Smile 2 website, fans are prompted to enable their camera and maintain a continuous smile. If their grin falters, the video stops, displaying a chilling “Keep Smiling” reminder.

Watch the exclusive seven-minute teaser through the official website.
