10 Best Horror Movie Kills Of 2024
9. Lewis - Smile 2
Picking just one great death scene from Smile 2 sure isn't easy, but it just has to be the brutally unflinching demise of Skye Riley's (Naomi Scott) drug dealer Lewis (Lukas Cage) early on.
After the trauma curse is passed onto Lewis in the opening sequence, Skye pays him a visit to pick up some drugs, only for him to be in the midst of a freakout, having evidently been tormented by the Smile Entity for the preceding week.
The scene culminates in Lewis finally being fully possessed by the Entity, which kills him in front of Skye by forcing him to repeatedly smash his own face to pieces with a giant barbell plate. Filmmaker Parker Finn lingers on Lewis' face as it's further destroyed with each subsequent blow, until his jaw is straight-up hanging off and he finally, perhaps mercifully, falls down dead.
And to be clear, he's still smiling the entire damn time, in turn passing the curse onto Skye and, well, if you've seen the movie you'll know how that turns out.
