The horror film is a sequel to 2022’s Smile, in which a demonic presence infects people, causing them to smile creepily before committing violence and spreading to the next victim. It attracted a lot of attention for viral marketing which hired actors to creepily smile while frozen in place at places like baseball games, which made it to TV.

Also recommended: Films that unearth tropes about arcane, shadowy Catholic rituals are a dime a dozen, but newer titles such as “Immaculate,” “The Nun II,” and the Russell Crow-starring “The Exorcism” and “The Pope’s Exorcist” are at least dumb and self-aware enough to be enjoyable romps.

Of course, with all the options out there, it can be difficult to determine which horror flicks are actually worth your time. Luckily, Netflix currently has a wide selection of quality choices, from timeless classics like Psycho and Jaws to modern-day slashers like Pearl and Thanksgiving to franchise refreshers like Evil Dead Rise and 2018's Halloween.
