Synopsis

Candy's: Chapter II is a 2026 American supernatural horror film and the second installment in the Five Nights At Candy's trilogy, which in turn is based on the eponymous spin-off video game franchise to the Five Nights At Freddy's games. Written and directed by M. Night Shyamalan and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and David Twohy, it stars Sasha Calle and Lexi Rabe reprising their roles as Mary and Marilyn Schmidt, with Mary-Louise Parker, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Finn Wolfhard, Tom Hardy, Hugh Jackman, Danny Glover, Russell Crowe, and Karl Urban. In the film, Mary Schmidt joins her daughter Marilyn, who lost a bet, for five nights in an old factory, where they confront an evil they had defeated two years ago. Production began two weeks after the first film's release; originally, Marilyn was set to be the protagonist like in the second game, but plans changed when Shyamalan and Calle decided to make Mary the protagonist again, alongside her daughter. Candy's: Chapter II was released in theaters on December 18th, 2026, to financial success, grossing over $617 million worldwide. It received generally positive reviews with praise for its visual effects, atmosphere, Calle and Rabe's performances, and Hans Zimmer's musical score. A concluding sequel entitled Candy's: The Final Chapter was released one year later.

  • misterwolf Plot: Marilyn Schmidt is forced by Ryan her bully, to participate in a bet; the winner will gain respect from the entire school, while the loser must spend five nights at an old factory. Unfortunately, Marilyn loses, and when Mary learns of this, she decides to go with her, knowing that she is afraid of the dark.

On the first night, they quickly regret their decision, as they come face to face with Cindy the Cat; they retreat to an office, where they look through a monitor, spot Cindy, and accidentally activate a telephone. They realize that Cindy gets distracted by phones, and this gives them the advantage to eventually reach 6:AM.

  • misterwolf Before the second night begins, Mary confronts Ryan, who deduces that Marilyn has double-crossed him about his earlier demands to go alone. She then slaps him before snitching him to his parents, who punish him for bullying Marilyn. During the second night, Mary reluctantly leaves Marilyn in the office with Gallus watching over her. She encounters Chester the Monkey, who tries to enter the vents. Marilyn spots this on the monitor, and quickly seals them shut. Mary distracts Chester and Cindy long enough for 6:AM to approach, narrowly saving both hers and Marilyn's life. Later on, Marilyn contemplates not going back to the factory, but Ryan arrives, and after he apologizes to her and becomes her friend, he encourages her to follow her heart; both she and Mary realize that they must go back, and they bring Ryan along for the third night.

  • misterwolf Mary and Ryan run into Candy the Cat himself, who follows them into the hallway in front of the office. Marilyn uses the flashlight to drive him away, while also encountering an old animatronic called the Cat. As 6:AM approaches, the Penguin arrives, and he tries to kill them, but Franklin arrives and subdues him, revealing that he has been staying nights in the factory in order to eventually confront his brother, Vinnie.

  • misterwolf On the fourth night, Franklin is found dead by Ryan, having been killed by a mysterious animatronic. He hides his body in a locker, not wanting him out in the open. Vinnie arrives, and he tries to kill Ryan, but Gallus saves Ryan and subdues Vinnie before retreating to the office. As all of the animatronics they have encountered are about to kill them, Mary fires off a shot, saving Marilyn, Ryan, and Gallus just in time for 6:AM to approach.

  • misterwolf As the fifth and final night begins, Ryan selflessly locks Mary, Marilyn, and Gallus in the office and goes down to the basement. He overloads the fuel line and lights it on fire, before being killed by the same animatronic who murdered Franklin. He is revealed to be the Rat, another old animatronic. He then kicks the office door down, and reveals to Mary that he and the Cat were human victims killed by Vinnie, who was previously the Puppeteer. As he is about to kill both Mary and Marilyn, the fire that Ryan set ultimately distracts him, allowing Mary to beat him with a broken pipeline. She eventually knocks him down before she escapes with Marilyn and Gallus; however, before they exit, a severely damaged Vinnie says "It is all your fault! And one day, I'll make sure.... YOU'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO SLEEP AGAIN!!!!!!". Mary then drives away with Marilyn and Gallus as the factory burns down.
