Early reviews question its scares, with a Peacock streaming window projected for spring based on recent Universal release patterns.

Overview

  • The sequel hit cinemas on December 5 in the United States after a December 4 rollout in parts of Latin America.
  • Director Emma Tammi returns with leads Josh Hutcherson, Elizabeth Lail and Piper Rubio, supported by Matthew Lillard, Mckenna Grace and voice roles from Megan Fox and others.
  • The story centers on Mike and Vanessa as Abby’s search for the animatronics ignites new dangers and teases deeper origins for Freddy Fazbear’s.
  • An early review from El Periódico criticizes the film’s effectiveness, citing scattered genre shifts, weak scares and heavy reliance on fan callbacks.
