Five Nights at Freddy's 2 (2025)

Taking place at another Freddy Fazbear franchise location with its own tragic backstory, we're introduced to a new animatronic known as the Marionette. It's somewhat spookier than the first film, and therefore better, but it still can't escape the shackles of its PG-13 prison, catering to the kiddies in the audience. It'll most likely work best with those who recognize it for all the fan service.

Five Nights at Freddy's (2023)

A guy struggling to keep custody of his younger sister has to take a crappy security job at a Chuck E. Cheese knockoff with animatronic creatures that come alive at night. But Night at the Museum, this is not. Visually, the robots look great (courtesy of Jim Henson's Creature Shop), but it's missing the stark horror and simplicity of the games. It's an amusing horror comedy that does the best it can with its PG-13 premise, but if you want to see the better (albeit, unofficial) adaptation of FNaF, check out Nicolas Cage in Willy's Wonderland.
