Huh. Was curious and checked out RT, Metacritic and IMDB, and saw Smile 2 is actually doing pretty well with both critics and audiences (RT's rating for critics and audience is 83% for both, which is a rarity when both line up like that). I'm still going to wait for streaming though. I thought the first was fine for one of those "we wanna be like The Ring curse" movies.

I checked after the viewing and was flabbergasted that this movie had better reviews.

Fuck, this is all shot on 35mm film, and already looks glorious!

Shame it had to start off with Love Hurts, one of the cheesiest cornball songs ever in existence.

This is the 2nd Jason Patric cameo for this challenge, and both are 2024 flicks, though this time it was Narration. Interesting.

Sumbitch, this is one of those movies that won't get listed as a 2024 movies because it hit festivals in 2023, so it'll be listed as 2023 at IMDB and Flickchart. I really hate that, they should go with the official release dates damn it. It was officially released in August 2024, dagnammit!
