New "Five Nights at Freddy's 2" preview released.

Now, I have to start off by saying "Five Nights at Freddy's" - which came out in 2023 - is one of the worst movies I've ever seen.

The promo material was outstanding. I was amped up and excited to see it. However, it was a complete and total dud. It felt like a bait-and-switch, and the ending was comically stupid. 

I had zero interest in seeing the sequel……right up until I saw the trailer released Thursday. It's surprisingly captivating. Give it a watch below, and let me know your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.

I really hope I'm not being set up for disappointment again with the "Five Nights at Freddy's" franchise. I already went through it once.

I don't want to do it again. Yet, I can't help but feel like I'm being pulled right back in because this preview is awesome.

It's more or less perfectly summed up by the video below.

What's crazy is that was a box office success. It made a staggering $291,493,620 around the globe. People bought tickets, which is why we're getting a sequel.

Let's just hope there are significant improvements from the trash experience I was personally forced to endure the first time around.
