I was not a huge fan of the first Five Night’s at Freddy’s movie from a few years ago, but it was not the worst thing I had ever seen. Unfortunately, Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 took a step back.

According to IMDB, “One year has passed 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. Former security guard Mike (Josh Hutcherson) and police officer Vanessa (Elizabeth Lail) have kept the truth from Mike’s 11-year-old sister, Abby (Piper Rubio), concerning the fate of her animatronic friends. But when Abby sneaks out to reconnect with Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy, it will set into motion a terrifying series of events, revealing dark secrets about the true origin of Freddy’s, and unleashing a long-forgotten horror hidden away for decades.”

I did not like this one at all. It felt so forced. The story was weak. The inclusion of the animatronics was silly. The ending was poor. I just did not like much of anything about this movie.

I do have one thing that I thought looked cool and that was the look of The Marionette when combined with Charlotte. It was a really cool design and I did like that part of the film. However, all of the other robotic characters were just a waste.

I also hate when a movie provides a teacher who would just not be around in today’s world and Wayne Knight played one here. There was so much about this that did not work for me.
