"Five Nights at Freddy's 2 is the follow-up to 2023's Five Nights at Freddy's and, like that movie, is a live-action adaptation of the popular horror game franchise that features a lot of evil animatronic figures and tons of confusing and bizarre lore. The original film was a big hit at the box office, but took a beating from critics and ended up with an abysmal 33% on Rotten Tomatoes. I bet Blumhouse and Universal would love for the newly released sequel to have that score. Instead, critics seem to hate this new entry even more, with Freddy's 2 sitting at a truly awful 12% on the review aggregate site. Ouch."
""Clunky, overstuffed, and strangely lifeless, Five Nights at Freddy's 2 trades genuine scares for incoherent lore. Even the animatronics can't save a sequel that feels more like brand maintenance than an actual movie." - Dionar Hidalgo, Algo Más Que Cine "[Its] sole imperative appears to be boring its audience to death." - Nick Schager, The Daily Beast " Five Nights at Freddy's 2 plays best for die-hard fans; for everyone else, it's a stitched-together sequel with few scares and even fewer surprises." - Allison Rose, FlickDirect "Five Nights at Freddy's 2 is one of Blumhouse's worst sequels, nothing more than a cynical cash grab that treats its audience and fanbase like mindless children." -T yler Taing, Discussing Film"
Five Nights at Freddy's 2 is a live-action sequel adapting the horror game's animatronic-focused lore and released in theaters to poor critical reception. The original 2023 film earned box office success but landed a 33% Rotten Tomatoes score; the sequel currently holds a 12% aggregate critic rating. Critics describe the sequel as clunky, overstuffed, lifeless, and incoherent, accusing it of prioritizing brand maintenance and fanservice over scares. Reviewers label it boring, stitched-together, and a cynical cash grab aimed mainly at younger teen fans who follow franchise lore and Easter eggs.
