As with its predecessor, Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 has a fundamental problem: animatronic pizza parlor animals are weird and creepy but not actually frightening.
Moreover, it shares with its 2023 ancestor a crippling case of illogicality—an issue which proves more troublesome this time around, since Emma Tammi’s sequel (December 5, in theaters) attempts to expand the mythology of the video game-based franchise. Doubling its killer-robot cast and diving deep into the source of their malevolence, it’s a follow-up that has enough PG-13 mayhem and cutesy Easter eggs to satisfy the fanboy faithful. Yet when it comes to scares, it can’t even deliver the, ahem, bear necessities.
