In the summer of 2014, struggling video game developer Scott Cawthon released “Five Nights at Freddy's,” unknowingly changing his life and internet culture forever.
The game built off every child’s innate fear of those creepy Chuck E. Cheese animatronics and begged the question, “What if they were alive?” It was a smash hit. Now, after garnering billions of views on YouTube with playthroughs and theory videos, to the “FNAF” IP becoming a cottage industry unto itself, packed with sequels, spinoffs, novels and now a full-blown movie franchise, 2014 is going to be a year remembered for spawning a multimedia franchise
empire.
Just like how the first video game’s sequel was adored by its online fanbase, filmmaker Emma Tammi’s sequel to her 2023 film adaptation is, at best, a step up from the original and, at worst, just as good as the last.
