10 Most WTF Moments From 2024 Horror Movies
2. An Entire Concert Gets Cursed - Smile 2
The moment that Smile 2 was announced to be centered around a pop star, Skye Riley (Naomi Scott), many predicted that the film would end with her passing the trauma curse onto thousands of her mostly-young followers at a concert. And even though the sequel's ending may have been predictable, that didn't really make it any less traumatising to sit through.
While performing a live show, Skye is assailed by the demonic entity, a grotesque skinless monster that tears Skye's mouth open and crawls inside, possessing her in the process. Skye then turns to the audience and kills herself by jamming a microphone into her eye socket, all while her fans helplessly look on.
Again, it's basically the ending everyone expected, but the cruel brutality of the scene combined with the utter insanity it suggests for Smile 3 - which could focus on the curse basically becoming an epidemic - made it no less impactful as a result.
