Skye Riley: [to the Smile Entity] You’re not in control, I am!
In one scene Skye places a VOSS water bottle down on a stone /marble kitchen counter and a noise matching the sound of something plastic being placed down is heard.

. Well Smile 2 certainly delivers in the performance of Naomi Scott as Skye Reily.This role should gain her a lot of attention and hopefully lead to more leading jobs.Award worthy definitely but let's face it this is a horror film so it& #39;s unlikely to happen.The film itself offers only vague answers and a lot of guesswork as to what's real and what's Skye hallucinating.This does get a little frustrating as it's repetitive throughout the film.Also what's with the amount of times Vossi water appears?!It gets kind of ridiculous.
Leaving things to the imagination is fine but so is great storytelling where the writers aren't just using it as an excuse not to come up with answersThis would be an average six star movie but Naomi Scott is a star so it gets at 7
Maybe I'm missing something and the water drinking is more of a plot device than the one we are offered about dehydration.However there's much to admire in this sequel and it's not just a retread of the first movie.There's some creepy moments and an ambiguous ending that calls for a part 3.I hope a few more things are revealed.
