Mike must figure out how to save his sister from the grasp of the revived creatures. However, it means he has to ask people he wouldn’t imagine asking for help.

Recap

The movie follows Mike, Abby and Vanessa living in the aftermath of the first movie. However, a new figure has emerged to cause them even bigger problems.

Best Parts

The movie has a lot scarier interactions with the famous figures. It focuses a lot more on the horror elements and steps out from being just robotic like movements with the newest addition. The best part of the movie comes from the animatronics, which look flawless, scary and the sound effects for the stomps are haunting.

Worst Parts

The dialogue is not the strongest and often feels more out of place or overly simple at times. Elsewhere, it feels more rushed in the final act, after holding a bit more back from the bigger battles.

Final ThoughtsFive Nights at Freddy’s 2 feels bigger, scarier and more lifelike.
