Ever since the success of the first “Five Nights at Freddy’s” movie, a sequel was all but inevitable, and with the recent trailers building up to the “Five Nights at Freddy’s 2” movie to release in theaters on December 5, 2025, many are excited for the next installment in this film installment of video game film adaptations.
The use of practical effects with the animatronic characters is done superbly, as they appear extremely accurate to their in-game portrayals from the second game, as shown in the trailers. Many people have been commenting on how the trailer hinted that the mask mechanic from the second game may make an appearance in the movie, which may serve a purpose to ward off the animatronic threats.
People have also noted in the second trailer, there is a shot of Toy Chica with pure black eyes with white pupils, much like how many of the animatronics are within the games. When the first movie was released, there were a fair number of people who were not fans of the orange eyes on the animatronics depicted in the film, saying that the black eyes and white pupils are scarier. While many of the animatronics in the trailer still have eyes that glow orange, fans are rather excited about this detail.
All in all, many are excited to see how Blumhouse treats their adaptation of the second game in the franchise and are very excited to see how the movie continuity branches out and evolves into the future.
