I always took the FNAF games as something like semi-lucid dreams. The monsters and settings all seem to work on nightmare logic rather than making any real sense, with the protagonist's actions being limited to the kinds of impotent self-defense you can only take in a nightmare (can't run, can't fight, can't move from the place you're in, but for some reason looking at them stops them from being able to jumpscare you...except when it doesnt).

I get they anted a higher body count, but I don't think they needed such a contrived subplot to explain why a bunch of people would want to break into an abandoned building. People will do that, film it and put it on KZread for kicks

Should have just kept it simple. Act 1: Desperate security guard who can't afford to miss a paycheck is assigned by his security company to Freddy Fazbears for the next 5 days. Blitz through the first few nights just establishing tension and showing that the animatronics aren't where they should be until on night 3 it's blatantly obvious they are moving about. Act 2: The Guard seeks out the owner or caretaker of Fazbears and asks him WTF is going on. This is where it's revealed that the animatronics do move about sometimes but they are harmless along with some good ol' googling/library newspaper reels for some backstory about freddy fazbears. Have the end of Act 2 be night 4 where the animatronics try to attack him for the first time. Act 3: The guard tries to get reassigned but no one believes his story and he'll be fired if he doesn't go back for the final night. So, he gathers together some weapons and prepares for his last shift. The rest of the movie is night 5 where the guard is running away, hiding and fighting off the murderous animatronics. He dies or lives, who cares. The End. Make it no longer than 80-90 minutes and boom done. Add the increasingly silly lore stuff in the sequels.

I actually like how the aunt's death was offscreen. SPOILERS By that point in the movie, the animatronics had built up a rapport with Mike and Abby, so we don't think much of their focus on Abby... right up until Mike had unintentionally offered up his sister as a sacrifice to learn more about his brother. I like how Golden Freddy just appears, being friendly towards Abby and dismissing Aunt Jane's death as her sleeping. That's honestly the creepiest part of the movie, because we know Abby is being doomed but she doesn't.

I was concerned we wouldn't get your reaction to "Five Nights ..." -- yet I refused to listen to anyone else's until I got yours. Looks like this one won't find a place on my to-watch list.

Thank you so much for your review. I admit, I was deeply disappointed by this movie. Sure, the lore of the games is overly convoluted and contrived, but there is a lot that could have been done with the property that we didn't get here. They say it was "made for the fans", but they disregard so much that made the lore inside the games interesting. Vanessa was wasted here, Afton was an afterthought, and Mike barely reacted to the world around him. The kidnapped brother subplot made no sense; the five kids somehow knew who killed him but didn't know who killed themselves? They only killed during the day and they were randos that nobody reacted to or missed. The aunt subplot went nowhere, and they just left her body on the floor, unexplained for them to just find later I guess?! Won't Mike be in trouble for these people around him disappearing/dying?! He was a guard for a defunct restaurant, not an active one in the game which called for a guard. Hardly any hauntings. And by having the changes they did to the game lore, they can't really expand on the mysteries from the game because they didn't follow the rules the game establishes at all. I believe a compelling movie could have made from this IP; they could have leaned into the lore hunter aspect, since the that is what made it so popular. Have it be a investigator, looking into the events at the different locations, like small flashbacks of the game happenings through interviews, investigations and such. The animatronics and environments were awesome, but the story was awful. Severely disappointing.

I know the FNAF fandom is all about the "lore" but this movie focused on too much of the "lore" and barely on the scares. I'm not the biggest fan of jumpscares but man, at least give us something with this thing.

Spot on as always Mathew! I'm right there with you on the production design, personally the stained glass in the pizzeria was the movie highlight for me. The way I put it to everyone is it is a PRIME example of a creator not really understanding how to adapt their work to another medium. While I realize this wasn't just Cawthon's script, his name is there and I do figure that has quite a bit to do with why the film is the way it is. Iirc there's a post floating around about the various different iterations of the plot he went through (might have been around 8 different versions), and because they vary so much, I expect more time was dedicated to rewriting the script from scratch than actually refining the initial story they had. I also fully agree about the jumpscares/horror of it......this really felt like it got a PG-13 for being a "horror" movie than anything actually in the film. Glad to have you back!

FilmBrain is an O.G. yo!

The scariest thing about this movie to me was the audience. I saw this on an early Thursday screening and I was baffled by how the younger ones ate this up. The very front two rows were full of ten-year-olds shouting and cheering at the screen when a particular connection or nod to the video games happened. I can't remember the last time I had such a rowdy crowd in a long time. Granted, there were some middle aged people and college students close by, but they were tame compared to the nightmare in the very front. Taking that out of consideration, this is a really bad adaptation. I know the video games on basic levels, but enough to understand the lore. And you are right. This movie has been digesting for such a long time that it should be something unique. It almost reminds me in a sense when James Cameron was doing The Abyss and you had these other underwater sci-fi moves trying to beat his oceanic alien film. What really killed my enjoyment was the unlikability of the main character. If you are going to igive him this PTSD, why introduce him by letting this guy mistaken a rough father moment as child abuse? It's a cliche and if your going to have him go on this dark venture, you got to make us understand and care. I swear, because of Hutcherson's age, I kept thinking he was Abby's father. So it felt awkward when he kept calling, "little sister," because the building relationship didn't feel like brother and sister by how they act. There was so much time spent trying to come up with a story, build these puppets, and figure things out. Yet THIS is the best they can do? If your going to adapt something, keep the mainstream viewers in mind. Early in the year, we had The Super Mario Bros Movie which played to enthusiasts and mainstream viewers by not overloading itself on so much lore. It was basic, easy to follow, and didn't overcomplicate itself. Here, we got ghost children possessed robots that kill people and make table forts. What a waste.

I couldn’t agree more as someone who was finishing primary school and entering into secondary when the original game came out I was really into theories and other stuff about fnaf. So when I heard about this movie coming out, I reignited my love for the brand by watching people react to the games for the first time and the jump scares still make me want to piss my pants and that says a lot considering I watch a lot of horror. So yeah I was excited for this only to be absolutely bored and stopped watching halfway through I feel bad for the fans that wasted their time and money on this lame thing because it doesn’t deserve it!

I don't know if you caught 57 Seconds, also out this year, which Hutcherson plays the lead in as well. Honestly, I think the guy's just not leading man material. I mean the movie is abysmal, in a kind of baffling way, but he gives a similarly sleepy and less-than emotive performance. I think it's just his thing?

WHAT??? It's NOT campy?! That, and jumpscares, were the two things at minimum I would think they would do in this movie so I'm really surprised that they didn't do either wow

Honestly, I didn’t find the movie not even remotely close to as bad as you claim. However, to each their own.

Despite being a long time fan of this series I was extremely underwhelmed and disappointed by this film. It just fell flat and didn't really do much with what was given. Even if it was branded as a film made for fans I was just left confused as to how low the bar has been set. Especially if this kid friendly horror was any indication of the kind of audience being catered to. All that's left to say is that the Haunting of Bly Manor did it better as far as ghosts go.

If you want a good FnaF story just read the book series starting with The Silver Eyes. It had a way better plot than this movie with a huge twist at the end I never saw coming. I can't figure out why they didn't just pull from that.

But you could've easily workshopped it into a passable script with Charlie as a protagonist trying to piece together how her brother disappeared. The thing is, it sounds like this film's own screenplay might've been passable without the contrived aunt plot and some greater focus on suspense rather than long passages of time with nothing happening.
