After the $291 million box office triumph of the first film, Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 is up against some serious competition from a new horror thriller. One of the most well-known horror franchises in computer games, Five Nights at Freddy’s had an incredible film debut. The film proved that Five Nights at Freddy’s could make the leap from the realm of video games to the big screen, as it broke box office records and generated a tidy profit. Despite this, a new horror movie has been announced, so there will be more competition for its impending sequel.

Creating fresh concepts in the horror industry can be difficult, but Five Nights at Freddy’s managed to introduce a genuinely unique idea. Turning seemingly innocent children’s mascots into killer animatronics made the franchise feel incredibly unique and launched a plethora of successful games. However, despite only making its big screen debut last year, it already seems like the FNAF sequel has a potential rival. The announcement of an upcoming horror film not only has a similar premise, but it will also transition from gaming into cinema, putting much more pressure on Five Nights at Freddy’s 2.
