Film Review – Five Nights at Freddy’s 2

In 2023, “Five Nights at Freddy’s” was a major box office success. The movie, an adaptation of the Scott Cawthon video game series, tempted fans with a feature-film understanding of a world involving killer pizza restaurant animatronics and ghostly happenings, coming along at just the right time.

Cawthon (who takes a sole screenwriting credit) and director Emma Tammi return to duty for “Five Nights at Freddy’s 2,” which is definitely interested in bringing many violent robots into action, and even a poltergeist, but storytelling hustle remains elusive yet again.
