FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDYS 2

When ‘Five Nights at Freddy’s’ became the highest-grossing horror film of 2023, a sequel was inevitable – there was no way the powers that be would pass up the opportunity to leverage off of its success. Sadly this installment feels like a blatant money grab, with a weak plot and a frustrating, unresolved ending. Yep a third movie is on the way and it seems just as unnecessary as this one. Josh Hutchinson, McKenna Grace and the rest of the cast are mediocre and one dimensional, but I’ll be kind and say it’s due to a lack of material to work with. This films only redeeming quality is the impressive design of the iconic animatronics, with their molded plastic bodies and expressive, toy-like features. Beyond that, it fails to deliver any excitement or genuine scares and doesn’t honour the video game or the fans. A dull and silly letdown.
