FNAF was great, Kinda wish it had blood, Every kill was offscreen or really dark and you cant really see the kill.

I don't really get what all the negative reviews are about. It's not the best movie ever or that I've seen this year, but I still had a good time watching it. The story was interesting, it had some scary parts, some humorous parts, lots of tension, was well-acted, well-shot, and the effects (both practical and CGI) were well-done. Also, the production design and creature design was great. A movie doesn't have to be restricted to either being "the best" or "horrible." The theater I saw it in was packed, the audience was responsive and seemed to be loving it, and I myself enjoyed it. I didn't really play the games, but I was definitely engaged in the lore of some of the MatPat Game Theory videos I saw. And I could tell from audience reactions that there were some cool things in the movie if you knew the games. That's not a negative, to be clear. It's always really cool when filmmakers put things in movies that true fans would catch and geek-out about. As far as being a viewer who didn't really play the games, I enjoyed the movie. And while I think knowing the games/lore would have definitely enhanced my enjoyment and enthusiasm, I wouldn't say it lacks as a movie or that the games are "required viewing" for those who haven't played them. Everything's explained pretty well. As far as the horror aspect goes, it is PG-13; I saw some reviews complaining about the lack of gore... It's PG-13. C'mon guys. But, that being said, I thought they still did a good job with the horror elements that were present. I also really liked the trio of main characters. I thought Josh Hutcherson, Piper Rubio, and Elizabeth Lail all did a good job. Also, I'm glad Josh Hutcherson is back. I hope he'll continue to be in more movies.

Didn't Josh Hutcherson used to be famous? Well here he is reduced to the role of the struggling brother of "Abby" (Piper Rubio). Their aunt (Mary Stuart Masterson) is determined that this hapless bag of bones isn't fit to look after the young girl - after he takes out a visiting father in the fountain of a shopping mall and gets fired; so "Mike" has to get another job! Opportunities are thin on the ground, but there is a vacancy doing the security night shift and an old, derelict, pizza parlour. How hard can it be? Well a meeting with the enigmatic police officer "Vanessa" (Elizabeth Lail) should have rung alarm bells, and when he has to take "Abby" there for one overnight shift - well it's soon clear that this place has secrets to keep and that it knows how to manipulate the hopes and fears of "Mike" and his sister. Can they stay sane and focussed long enough to survive this maze of malevolent mechanical bunnies? I'm afraid the presence of Matthew Lillard never helps a film, and here is no different - this is just a rather nonsensical attempt at a spooky mystery that certainly has nothing to make you jump. Rubio is actually quite decent, but there's isn't enough else happening to compensate for the very slow build up, surfeit of dialogue and frankly rather silly underlying premiss. I suppose as Halloween gets bigger and bigger, we are going to get more and more of these mediocre offerings - but despite it's more prominent cast, this just belongs on the Horror channel at 2am.

I've been waiting for this movie for 8.5 years and they delivered. This movie had everything I asked for the only issues I have with this film is that they should make it more scary, I am only giving it a 5 star is because I am bias and loved this franchise ever since I was a kid! I wished this movie had a little bit more blood!

I loved the FNAF Movie, I've been waiting for this movie for 8 years and they delivered on my expectations on a Five Nights At Freddy's Movie! My only gripe on this film just wishing it had more blood

I have been a fan of the Five Nights at Freddy's franchise for 9 years, and I can say that this was a good adaptation for the video game. I give it 3.5 stars or 7/10 because I have watched many interviews with Emma Tammi and some YouTubers were able to release BTS footage a week or so early. Those interviews and BTS videos really helped me understand the love and care Blumhouse, Scott Cawthon Productions, and Jim Henson's put into the world that they all knew so many loved. But I wouldn't go any higher than 3.5 or 7/10 because there were not that many jump scares or good scares. It got me a few times, but not as many as I wished for. and they didn't show much of William or the Spring Bonnie suit. William Afton is the villain of this franchise. In every universe FNaF has, there is a William, and he kills, and I feel like they swung and missed the ball with William a little. If they are able to make a second film, I hope they explore William more. This is a fun watch, good for fans of the franchise, and a good beginner movie for people who get too scared watching horror movies.

Five Nights at Freddy's is a fun bad film. I personally loved it. I've waited years for it to hit the big screen, and I can't believe the day came. To get this out of the way, Jim Henson's company did a fantastic job bringing the animatronic horrors to life. All the animatronic suits look phenomenal; it looks like they ripped them straight from the game. The Easter egg characters also looked really good. Jim Henson's done an awesome job! The actors for the film were great as well: Josh Hutcherson, Elizabeth Lail, and Matthew Lillard. All great actors that fit their roles perfectly. I am a little sad that Matthew Lillard's role, William Afton, didn't have that much screen time. For being the main villain of the whole film, he only had a big twist at the end. Speaking of the big twist, Matthew Lillard played William Afton perfectly; I can't imagine someone else playing the role. He tuned into who William Afton was so well. The line "I always come back" didn't really fit; at that moment, how does he know he will come back? The lack of scares in the film and the fact that Mr. Cupcake gets the most kills in the whole film are insane to me. FNaF is a jumpscare game, and this film focused more on the human story, which is fine; I would've liked more than a few jumpscares. I also don't care for the animatronics being all friendly; their kids are trapped in robots. Unless those kids were born killing, I can't see how people can be mad at the animatronics for being friendly.

Serviceable. I feel like more could've been done with the mascots via the animatronics as well as giving them each some sorta creepy voice, though this is of course based on a video game so if that's how they are in the game (which I've never played nor heard of) then I guess this is not a valid 'criticism'. Just as a film, I think that would've made it more lively. <em>'Five Nights at Freddy’s'</em>, as it is, is a passable supernatural horror. Josh Hutcherson does an acceptable job as lead, as Elizabeth Lail and youngster Piper Rubio do well too. More could've perhaps been done with Matthew Lillard's character, though Lillard is himself is alright. Evidently, the reception to this 2023 movie has been mixed, I can tell that from both the average rating chart and from those that I follow. It worked for me, that's all there really is for me to say.

Alright, so I just saw "Five Nights at Freddy's," and I gotta say, it was... interesting! If you're a fan of the video games, you'll definitely find some familiar faces and creepy vibes, but even if you've never played, there's still a decent horror story to be enjoyed. Let's start with the atmosphere. They really nailed that unsettling feeling you get from the games. The abandoned Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria is super creepy, with its dim lighting, dusty arcade games, and those... animatronics. Seriously, those things are unsettling! The movie does a good job of building tension, especially when you're waiting for something to jump out at you. There are a few moments where I definitely jumped in my seat! The story follows a new security guard, Mike, who takes a job at the closed-down pizzeria. He's got some personal stuff going on, which adds a bit of emotional depth to the story. It's not just about jump scares; there's a real human element to it, which I appreciated. Some of the characters were pretty cool, and I enjoyed watching their interactions. Now, where things get a bit... mixed. The plot can be a little slow at times. There are moments where it feels like it's taking its time to get to the scary parts, and some of the dialogue felt a little clunky. Also, if you were expecting non-stop, intense horror, you might be a little disappointed. There are definitely creepy moments, but it's not a super gory or overly scary movie. It's more of a suspenseful thriller with some horror elements. The special effects were pretty good, especially the animatronics. They looked really realistic and moved in a way that was both cool and unsettling. The visuals definitely added to the overall creepy vibe of the movie. Overall, I'd give "Five Nights at Freddy's" a solid 6/10. It's a decent horror film with a cool atmosphere, some good jump scares, and a story that keeps you somewhat engaged. If you're a fan of the games, you'll probably enjoy it more, but even if you're not, it's still a fun, spooky watch. Just don't go in expecting the scariest movie ever made, and you'll have a good time! It’s a fun spooky movie to watch with friends.
