Five Nights at Freddy's 2 (2025)
Directed by Emma Tammi
One year since the supernatural nightmare at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, the stories about what transpired there have been twisted into a campy local legend, inspiring the town's first ever Fazfest. With the truth kept from her, Abby sneaks out to reconnect with Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy, setting into motion a terrifying series of events that will reveal dark secrets about the real origin of Freddy's, and unleash a decades-hidden horror.

Heather Langenkamp confronting her mother about Freddy Krueger…
Much of the time, he’s making overt references to much better horrors, such as A Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, Jurassic Park (Wayne Knight plays another dickhead we want to see killed), and oddly enough, Scream, boasting two veterans in Lillard and Skeet Ulrich.
El intento de guiños a Jurassic Park, Scream o Pesadilla en Elm Street revela otra de sus flaquezas: una absoluta falta de comprensión de por qué esos referentes funcionan.
One sequence involves the Freddy character attacking a family on Elm Street (get it?).
Imagine Scream 2 once more, enjoyable entertainment: the killers reveal themselves, credits immediately roll, and a chorus of young teens behind you cheer they cannot wait for Scream 3 (2000).

Like “Saw” and “Paranormal Activity,” “Five Nights at Freddy’s” has become a gateway horror series for a generation.
…the Marionette (who looks copyright-threateningly close to Jigsaw)…
…(who looks copyright-threateningly close to Jigsaw)…
…as a PG-13 gateway horror film, it'd be laughed out of the cafeteria by the likes of Insidious or Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark.
What if someone had the balls to make a movie that’s even worse than Five Nights at Freddy’s? Granted, the 2023 video game adaptation/deadass incomprehensible mess wasn’t an all-timer of a turkey…
“Five Nights at Freddy’s” (2023) was a great film because the two main characters, Mike and Abby, felt fully realized, and the horror was rooted in their pain, which was relatable to a broad base.
…the much-anticipated sequel to BLUMHOUSE’s 2023 megahit “FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY’S”…
I'll admit. I don't understand the appeal of 2023's Five Nights at Freddy's.
The first “Freddy’s” wasn’t very good, leveraging its source material and animatronic beasts to juice its box office fortunes.
Not that the first “Freddy’s” in 2023 was anything to text home about.
Director
Joe Dante
Critics invoke Dante by name, and compare Five Nights at Freddy's 2 to 1 of Dante’s films.

On Dante, rather than any one film
…a children’s science fair chaotically overtaken by giant murderous animatronic animals, Joe Dante–style…
In an ideal scenario, this franchise would be a modern day Gremlins.
This is a potentially fun, Gremlins-y idea, but Tammi and Cawthon never find innovative ways to realise it…

Admittedly, I enjoyed M3GAN 2.0 quite a bit…
…tras un año para el olvido, el cual implica el fracaso de películas como «Wolf Man» y principalmente de «M3GAN 2.0» que contó con un presupuesto más abultado de lo que acostumbran sus producciones.
The premise- animatronic robots on a killing spree- is a fun throwback to ’80s classics like Chopping Mall and fits comfortably alongside recent hits like M3GAN or Christmas Bloody Christmas.
Once again, it’s produced by Jason Blum (M3GAN, The Black Phone, the Halloween franchise)…
Look, ma! I found a movie that’s almost as disorientingly Gen-Alpha-pilled than A Minecraft Movie!
This has not been a problem with this new crop of young gen Z/elder gen alpha video game movie fans that drove films like Freddy’s and A Minecraft Movie to massive success.
Director
Steven Spielberg

Wayne Knight (Jurassic Park, Them: The Scare)…
Even the film’s central idea of a child communing with giant, surreal automatons — such a eerily resonant image, recalling James Whale’s original Frankenstein — is ultimately a nonstarter.
