"The reviews rolling out for Five Nights at Freddy's 2 are brutal, featuring F grades and one critic saying that "there's simply nothing of value here." The sequel premieres in theaters today, December 5, and stars Josh Hutcherson, Piper Rubio, Matthew Lillard, Elizabeth Lail, Mckenna Grace, and Megan Fox. On Metacritic (a GameSpot sister site), Five Nights at Freddy's 2 is currently sitting at a 32 metascore. That means "generally unfavorable," and of the 15 reviews so far, only one is positive."
"The scary-bad review scores aren't new for the Five Nights at Freddy's film franchise, which is based on the popular video game series. For instance, the first movie sports a 33 metascore, barely above Five Nights at Freddy's 2. That didn't stop the original film from earning roughly $291 million in 2023, per BoxOfficeMojo. Plus, in comparison, the user score was a 7.7, showcasing a wide split between critics and general audiences."
Five Nights at Freddy's 2 opened in theaters on December 5 with a cast that includes Josh Hutcherson, Piper Rubio, Matthew Lillard, Elizabeth Lail, Mckenna Grace, and Megan Fox. The film holds a 32 Metacritic metascore based on 15 reviews, with only one positive review from RogerEbert.com calling it "thoughtful and smart enough to warrant your attention." The Associated Press said the sequel has "no real horror and no real awareness that it should." The first franchise film had a 33 metascore but still earned roughly $291 million in 2023, and user scores remain notably higher. Emma Tammi directed the sequel and Scott Cawthorn wrote the screenplay, and Matthew Lillard described the film as frightening despite its PG-13 rating.
