Is Five Nights At Freddy 39;s Movie Rating
Boone Southern
I was intrigued when I heard the news about the game receiving a film adaptation. FNAF as a video game is predicated on building suspense and unease as the player tries to survive each of the five nights until all those building feelings inevitably climax with a violent animatronic jumping onto your screen. So I was hoping the mood of those games would translate well into, at the very least, a competent horror flick. What was received instead was a piece nearly devoid of all tension and a showcase of something plaguing most established franchised Hollywood productions.
Trauma and horror have always gone hand in hand, but it seems as though recent horror films have been honing in on that aspect, and this film is not an exception. However, this FNAF adaptation never dives into their trauma with any depth, always preferring to stay on the surface level. I was initially expecting little depth in the FNAF movie. Still, when a film starts to tackle fundamental themes like preconceived trauma and its effects on people, we expect it to tackle those themes with more depth than a kiddie pool with just an inch of water.

It is Halloween time, which is scary movie time. I love watching spooky flicks this time of year, but no one in my family wants to. My wife and 13-year-old hate them, and my 7-year-old daughter is too young. My 10-year-old son is likely too young, but he likes to be spooked, and I'm a bad dad. So, I took him to see the latest video game adapted into a movie. I mean, he loves video games; maybe we just ignore the fact that the movie happens to be about some animatronic animals that gruesomely kill people.
The movie is an adaptation of the same-name video game that already has numerous sequels, dozens of comic books and graphic novels. Mostly kids play the game, and with a PG-13 rating, the studios want those same kids to come to see the movie. But is it OK for them, and is it even that good?
I don't want to give away too much of the plot, but the movie revolves around a night guard at the now-abandoned Freddy Fazbear's. Think of ShowBiz Pizza or Chuck E. Cheese. It doesn't take long for the night guard to start seeing some strange things and he soon discovers the "lovable" animatronic animals come to life ... and are not always friendly.
The movie starts with a solid scare and does a fine job of playing up those moments. There is a certain dread, and director Emma Tammi creates a claustrophobic atmosphere where anything can come from anywhere at any moment.
I already laid out the premise of the movie for you. Needless to say, it's ridiculous. Instead of a masked murderer out for revenge on some oblivious teenagers, these are animatronic stuffies made to play guitar and sell pizza. It's silly, but that's the charm.
You know what's coming and can't help but smile at the absurdity. Some good jokes and surprising visuals will make you chuckle, even though you shouldn't. I am trying to say that the movie is stupid, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.
Too often, the problem with video game movies is the story. There isn't enough there to keep you interested in what is going on with the characters. I can't say that "Five Nights at Freddy's" is an Oscar-winning story (I didn't want it to be), I just wanted it to hold my attention.
I will avoid spoilers, but there was enough of a story with the characters involved that I wanted to get to the conclusion. I wanted to know what was happening and got breadcrumbs sprinkled throughout the run time. It was enough information to satiate my appetite and leave me wanting more. Sure, it was clumsy and rushed at times, but I was surprised the story kept me as engaged as it did.
As you can imagine with the title, the movie takes place over five nights. Scary movies always have a build-up of tension and then release the scary. Then, they build the tension again to hit you with another scare. "Five Nights at Freddy's" followed the same formula. Still, the tension or quiet moments often lasted too long, and I almost forgot I was watching a horror movie.
The violence is not constant, but it comes on quick. You don't see much of the blood and gore, but a couple of moments will take you by surprise. It is a horror movie, and they are trying to give you the chills. It could very well be too much for some kiddos who are more sensitive to scares.
As I mentioned, I took my 10-year-old. He did OK with the scares because even with the horror playing out, it's tough to take it too seriously when it's done by a fluffy bear with a top hat. Where my son got nervous was the alluded child violence. There are themes of kidnapping and violence towards children that can be disturbing. Nothing is shown, and what happened is never discussed in detail. Still, those elements are there, and I think many younger audiencegoers may find it tough to handle.
"Five Nights at Freddy's" is not a home run, and I don't know if I'm running back out to see it, or if it'll be a yearly Halloween go-to, but I did have fun. My son enjoyed it, but did mention some of it scared him more than he wanted to admit.
Five Nights at Freddy's is a 2023 American supernatural horror film based on the video game series of the same name created by Scott Cawthon. Directed by Emma Tammi, who co-wrote the screenplay with Cawthon and Seth Cuddeback, the film stars Josh Hutcherson as a troubled security guard who starts a job at an abandoned pizzeria where he discovers its animatronic mascots are possessed by murdered children. Elizabeth Lail, Piper Rubio, Mary Stuart Masterson, and Matthew Lillard star in supporting roles.
Development of a Five Nights at Freddy's film adaptation began in April 2015 under the direction of Warner Bros. Pictures. Roy Lee, David Katzenberg, and Seth Grahame-Smith were set to produce it, with Gil Kenan announced as director and co-writer. After multiple production delays, Kenan resigned from the project, and further development on the film was transferred from Warner Bros. to Jason Blum's Blumhouse Productions. Chris Columbus was hired to direct and co-write, ultimately leaving the project and being replaced by Emma Tammi in October 2022. It was filmed from February to April 2023 in New Orleans and surrounding communities on a budget of $20 million.
Sometime later, mall security guard Mike Schmidt is fired for assaulting a negligent father whom he mistook for a kidnapper. Mike's career counselor, Steve Raglan, offers him a job as a night guard at the pizzeria. Though initially reluctant, Mike accepts after social services threaten to take custody of his younger sister, Abby, and pass her to their estranged aunt, Jane, who desires the custody's monthly payments.
On the fourth night, Abby is accidentally injured when she, Mike, and Vanessa are bonding with the animatronics. The next morning, Mike reluctantly gets Jane to babysit a frustrated Abby as he goes back to the pizzeria and takes some sleeping pills. The children appear in his dream again and tell him that he can stay with Garrett forever in exchange for Abby. Mike initially accepts, but when he changes his mind, he is attacked. After being strapped to the torture device that killed the previous guard and narrowly escaping, Mike is cornered and injured. Meanwhile, a damaged yellow Freddy animatronic,[a] possessed by the leader of the children, kills Jane and takes Abby back to the pizzeria.
Vanessa treats Mike's injuries and reveals that she is the daughter of William Afton, the serial killer who kidnapped and murdered Garrett and the other children. He hid their bodies in the animatronics, and now, their souls are under his control. Realizing the animatronics plan to kill Abby and have her join them in the afterlife, Mike rushes to the pizzeria. He defeats the animatronics, but Steve arrives wearing the "yellow rabbit" suit,[b] reactivates them, and reveals himself to be William. Mike tries to incapacitate William, but is easily overpowered. Vanessa also attempts to stop William, but he stabs her with a knife.
Abby remembers that the animatronics like drawings and draws a picture of William murdering the children to free them from his influence and make them realize the truth. With Mike's help, Abby shows the drawing to the animatronics, who turn on William. Mr. Cupcake bites off part of William's suit, triggering its internal springlock mechanisms, which trap and fatally wound him. As the animatronics drag William away, Mike and Abby carry Vanessa out of the collapsing pizzeria.
Some time later, Vanessa has fallen into a coma and is hospitalized, while Mike and Abby have reconciled and resume their normal lives. Back at the pizzeria, the leader of the children watches a dying William in the suit before leaving him to his fate.
The suit performers include Kevin Foster as Freddy Fazbear,[6] the pizzeria's brown bear animatronic and namesake; Jade Kindar-Martin as Bonnie,[6] an indigo rabbit animatronic; and Jessica Weiss as Chica,[6] a yellow chicken animatronic. The scatted pirate song that Foxy, a red pirate fox animatronic, sings throughout the film is performed by Kellen Goff.[7]
In April 2015, Warner Bros. Pictures announced it had acquired the film rights to the Five Nights at Freddy's video game franchise with Roy Lee, David Katzenberg, and Seth Grahame-Smith set to produce the adaptation. Grahame-Smith stated that they would collaborate with franchise creator Scott Cawthon, who co-wrote the books in collaboration with ghostwriting firm Kevin Anderson and Associates,[8] "to make an insane, terrifying and weirdly adorable movie".[9] In July 2015, Gil Kenan signed to direct the film from a screenplay co-written with Tyler Burton Smith.[10]
In March 2017, Cawthon announced Blumhouse Productions as the film's new production company after Warner Bros. Pictures put the project in turnaround.[11] In May 2017, producer Jason Blum said he was excited and working closely with Cawthon on the film.[12] In June 2017, Kenan said he was no longer directing the film.[13]
