Understanding the references makes this movie so much more fun. And the MatPat cameo always kills me, shame they didn't show it in this
Same I wish we could have seen their reactions to it😭
@@XoQuickLifeXothey probably cut it because they didn’t have a reaction.
@@jk844100 probably 😔
Same
@@jk844100 these guys may be blind but i would be shocked if none of them didnt catch it
41:12 in case you are confused about that is because in the lore, the reason they go after adults is because they think its William but since they don’t know what he looked like, they go after every adult until they kill him. The reason they spare Abby is because she is a child, that they can relate to
so they just don't know about springlock bonnie's identity?
@@johnpaullogan1365 I guess not. Idk
In the games phone guy said they act normal with the kids because they are kids but with adults they just stare and act weird. So that's the context of that scene in the movie.
@@johnpaullogan1365 They recognize who springbonnie is but they don't remember the man who wore it, they just see springbonnie as their friend before abby changed the drawing.
YOU COULD NOT BE MORE WRONG! THEY ATTACK ADULTS BECAUSE WILLIAM AFTON CONTROLS THEM SOMEHOW! VANESSA EVEN SAYS THAT! OH MY GOD IM SORRY IM BEING RUDE BUT SOMETHING HAPPENED TO ME IRL AND IM REALLY PISSED!
I think the common fan theory for this movie is that the cupcake is Chica's dog due to it's size and behavior. Also the knife wipe is a reference to Scream and Matthew Lillard's performance as Stu.
Right??!? That cupcake had a certain role and it had to be a dog, also, the scream reference was so slick, honestly making the movie adoring to those that were fans or seen horrors beforehand.
I think in the games it’s also hinted that the kid possessing Chica were lured away by Purple Guy because he took her dog
They should've had him go "Are you challenging me?" at some point, instead.
@@MxMcGeekyThat’s what he did to Susie in the games. She was also the first of the five children
Never heard of that, when I left the theater with my aunt she asked me which kid possessed the cupcake confused how there's five but there ain't one for the cupcake
It was a back and forth argument me telling her that, "Carl the cupcake. Is simply just Carl the cupcake, there ain't nothin paranormal about him" and her refusing to believe there isn't a reason for him to be like that
39:25
The freaking song they chose for the end credits is just our own FNAF anthem.
You guys won't believe the cheers the people in the cinema (movie theater 🎭) went, some of them even started to sing 🎉
A lot of people were upset with how childish the animatronics acted around Abby. But it makes sense. They’re still kids in the suits so while they are deadly. They’re still kids who want to play
Honestly, as a LONG time fan of FNAF who has a bunch of other fans as friends, we LOVED this movie. no it doesn’t follow the lore exactly at all, but that wasn’t really an issue since the books don’t really follow it either, most of the bad reviews are just ppl who are mad that this movie wasn’t like a bloodbath kind of horror movie y’know? But I loved it so much it brought be right back to the early days of the fandom in the best way possibly tbh
To me the only part of the lore that needs to be followed is that part where kids got murdered and now they're possessing the animatronics, and during the night they become threats.
That is the basic.
I agree, I LOVE THIS MOVIE! I sadly did not watch this in theaters. I watched it on peacock, my parents didn't have a lot of money at the time and I was itching to watch that movie so much so that I just gave in and watched the movie.
i don’t see why people was complaining about the little fort scene, they are kids .. and the fact that they actually made a five nights at Freddys movie after how many years.. come on now just be thankful they actually made the movie and actually put cory in it . what else yall want . ❤
On the escalation comment, I feel like the dramatic irony of us knowing they murdered a bunch of people and hid them somewhere before playing innocently like the children they actually are continues tension-building. As you described during that time, you all were uncomfortable and waiting for the other shoe to drop. I mean, it also serves to remind us that they aren’t just killer animatronics. They are murdered children who are losing their identities after 15-20 years. That’s another layer of horrifying.
💯
People forget that horror movies don't have to be jumpscare filled gorefests to be a horror movie. The Subject matter is what also makes a horror movie. A serial child murderer who was never caught and still on the loose, plus the ghosts of children being trapped inside the animatronics who are influenced by the man who murdered them, on top of that Serial Killer coming BACK for another child? That's horror right there. The fact that the tension felt watching the movie was almost even ramped up during the most chill, wholesome part of the movie (the fort scene) goes to show that at least for some people, it's an outright horror movie. It doesn't deserve the hate it gets just because it's not another boring slasher flick that's only about shock factor and gore. I appreciate the movies that succeed without the gore and jumpscares more.
@@kaliarchon I agree, not every horror movie has to be a rated R gore fest.
To me it also showed how kid-friendly these robots are as thats what they were designed to be. It would be weird if the entire franchise based on friendly animatronics had them look scary so having them do this moment at least helped me believe that this was indeed a very successful place before the child murders.
What’s really funny is that the cupcake has more kills than Freddy himself at the end of the movie.
The Revenge of Carl
True, but Freddy does have the best kill of the movie
@@Icybubba was that the bite of 2000?
Freddy had only one kill.
@@X-Valox-X He's tied with Foxy
I really appreciate this reupload guys, never got the chance to watch the original upload before it got hit with copyright
I had a chance to, but I wanted to see the movie 1st. Sure enough, day after I seen it, video gets taken down.
Same!
Ok, so i was wondering why the reupload, i saw the video when it was released, so i didn't noticed it was taken down.
I get that some people didn't like the movie because it wasn't that scary, but honestly the games aren't that scary but more stressful than anything. And that's why I think it does good at its job
As a fan of a the franchise who played all the games, I seriously loved this movie. I can’t speak for all fans but I think they did a wonderful job and I’m hoping we get another. A lot of fnaf fans grew up with the franchise and I think blumhoise did it’s best to try to make it friendly for fans and people who aren’t familiar or as familiar with the games and the lore.
They are actually working on the second movie, they plan to release it in a Halloween 🎃 again
Well, the sequel is now going to release on December 5th 2025, which you probs know now-
I think the choice to have the fort-building scene after the scene with the break-in was really smart, because it made the audience hyper-aware that Anything could happen.
I found the movie to be pretty good. It may not be perfect, but it was made for the fans and succeeded in pleasing them. That's what matters. And I appreciate the work put into making this. I love how great the animatronics are, Jim Henson Productions does freat work. Matthew Lillard is amazing, and it's clear they did string the lore together as best they could.
@JohnJohnson27-cs6ixThen you're dumb, as someone who's been in the fnaf fandom since 2014, 2015, I loved this movie. It really touched my heart and nostalgia for the fandom, is it a good horror movie? No, is it a good gift for the fans? Absolutely Yes. Especially the song at the end, AMAZING callback.
So because someone disagrees they're dumb?@@AphroditeOlympian
yeah, I agree. Though i find it more as if like, it's a bad movie BUT a good FNAF movie, they did good at portraying the lore the best they could and it ended up being fine. So although it may not be the best film, it is good at what it wanted to be.
@@gond6099No it's just easier to write that out than to explain how someone's opinion may not really.. make sense, yes you can not like something but if there's not much wrong with it and someone just says that flat out hate something and they don't really elaborate or explain why it's just kind of stupid right, so i totally understand why they just left that comment instead of talking to the person lol
@JohnJohnson27-cs6ix You sound like you're repeating what a critic wrote just to sound edgy.
This movie got big bonus points from me for both setting up an actual restaurant, and building actual animatronics. Practical effects aren’t always perfect, but they do add a ton to the experience.
I think the part where the animatronics starts building a fort after they went on a murder spree was scary. It makes sense since the animatronics are kids and they behave like deranged ghost spirits. I don't really go by critic reviews. I usually use audience scores.
As a horror movie? Meh. As a FNAF movie? FULL MARKS!
that guard at the beginning was written in to be played by Markiplier but he couldnt shoot on those 2 days
The opening credits play over a pixel art animation, of the yellow rabbit luring the 5 children away.
Shouldn’t have skipped ‘em. :/
Minor detail no one cares about: I'm spanish, so I saw the movie in both english and spanish.
But watching this reaction with subtitles on made me realize that the song the animatronics played during showtime wasn't random 80's song and had a hidden meaning behind, like the lyrics saying "I can hear the things that youre dreaming about" or "The secrets that you can't hide".
Which I mean, yeah, it's pretty straight forward, but for foreigners, I have a difficult time hearing the lyrics while music is playing, so didn't catch those. And even then, the song didn't had subtitles on the cinema, so there's that.
It's kinda like the same deal when people from my country likes the "pumped up kicks" song without knowing the song's about a shooting.
This movie made over 340 million dollars on a 20 million dollar budget. Yeah, it's definitely getting a sequel.
The best part 14:40 is that they use actual animatronics for this movie (you can see the cast interact with them in RUclips shorts) and not CGI 🎉
They are at least doing 2 more movies. Matthew Lillard has already said he’s signed on for 2 more and if you look on his IMDB page they are listed on there
when i saw the movie in the theater i heard a kid shout "THE BITE OF '87!!"
I'm glad this was Re-uploaded I had watched the Original and then the short version because of Copyright and now I get to enjoy it all over again
Saw this in theaters and it was a PACKED with adults and we were screaming the whole time.
Also the practical animatronics by the Jim Henson company was the best part of the movie. . people wonder why movies were better/more fun 10-20 years ago, it’s the practical effects.
CGI is the enemy of effective horror movies.
"Five Nights At Freddy's is PEAK Horror"
"Always has been"
Also the creator said this movie was made for the fans not the critics and I think more movies should be like that
36:23 is that a Scream reference? Once a slasher villain always a slasher villain I guess.
I think the worst part of Max’s death was that her legs were still moving after she got bisected, meaning that it wasn’t quick and probably painful.
Her legs wouldn’t be moving because the spinal cord be cut. The muscles in her legs couldn’t feel anything because they can’t send signals to the brain, nor receive any signals to move.
@@greenknightofwar7024 but you can see them moving in the clip. Watch it back.
@@NovaAnimations-de9vo I did it’s inaccurate is what I’m saying
We're not like chickens or reptiles though the minute her neck and head went she was dead, i don't think that's actually how people work so i don't think that's possible
The muscles would be twitching if something like that happens, so it is kinda accurate in a way.
I have witnessed a dog beheaded by a train, so the body was twitching while it had no head.
It would be the muscles doing involuntary reactions because of the body signals.
Either way, true or false, i'm not in the mood to look up for that kind of videos.
Is it accurate? Not sure, but aestethically it's cool.
A lot of people theorize that Susie’s dog possessed Cupcake, which would explain the animalistic behavior it has in the movie. (Susie is the name of the soul who possesses Chica, and I think Afton killed her dog as well.)
Tbh the villain has not that much screen time but he comes back in the 2nd one so I have high hopes for him
Tbf, he always comes back so they probably knew he didn't need too much screentime in the first one.
Hell yes! We finally get to see this reaction properly! Also, as for who's in the Cupcake, in the games, one of the kids had a dog, but Afton killed it just to lure the kid in, that kid was Chica, & Mr. Cupcake is the kid's dog.
No one is in the cupcake it's like chica's little helper.
👍
10:45 The book Mike had about Dream Theory is actually in relation to one of the first major theories surrounding the games. That was that all the games and everything happening in them was all just a dream. I remember seeing the book and bursting out laughing it’s probably my favorite little Easter egg along with the MatPat cameo
the cubby house scene, while being heavily criticised, is honestly my favourite scene- it’s literally a scene purely for the fans who have grown up with this franchise bc omg seeing the animatronics just having fun was everything
As an actual night security, I can confirm that you Never want an exciting shift.... it's never fun when it happens 😅. P.S NEVER EVER say the "Q" word, "boring"can be just as bad... it's best to say "uneventful".
ruff screaming "oh it's daddy" took me out 😂
Relatively New FNAF Fan Here:
Y’all correct how the story of the movie doesn’t follow the game’s exact. But the FNAF Lore itself can be interpreted in so many ways with the many theories that are out there. I think this movie/series of movies are gonna try and emulate that part of the games which is kinda cool.
Understanding chica and Mr. Cupcake chica is believed and cannoned as the first of the five missing kids. That being said, the method of coaxing her that William Afton used was finding her deceased dog and using that to lure her to end up stuffing her into chica so it's believed that Mr. Cupcake, if not just being an extension of chica is said dead dog.
I didn't want to be that snooty fan. That's like the whole actually as I push my glasses up but I just wanted to have that kind explanation for you guys just in case you did want to know more about it. Love the reaction to the movie, I'm proud to be a Billy 🙂🙂
Wow, I didn't think about that. That actually makes sense
@@complex2live again, either way, I just hope it helps in the differences between chica and Mr. Cupcake and Bonnie, Freddy and foxy, especially since chica is the only one to have a secondary companion
@@delaneyfells913 you did bring a very good point. Because a lot of people believe that the movie is separate from the games because it takes place in 2000, but that doesn’t mean it doesn't connect to the lore.
@@complex2live oh, I agree with what Matt Pat said about it with it being not quite a straightforward bounce of the lore, but in amalgamation of all the necessary parts that Scott feels are important per movie, as it's already been stated that except for a trilogy and that each one's going to vaguely follow the first three games So with that thing said the aspects of the lore will still hold true and to certain elements like how there's still five missing children like that hasn't changed or that William Afton is still the man who murders them and still Dawn's the golden rabbit suit
@@complex2live My personal theory with how it holds up with the lure and represents it is the comparisons between Charlie the soul that embodies the puppet daughter of Henry and Garrett from the movie have so many similarities in correlations in their respective sections of the universe being represented as the puppet
Yall Missed The “COME FIND ME” Message At The Of The Movie
Alright, second time’s the charm! Hopefully this re-upload will go out better. Love your reactions
37:52 And now you know why he's called Springtrap
This movie was awesome and I loved the RUclipsr cameos with MatPat and CoryxKenshin. A second movie is already in production and I can't wait
Even though I'm not into horrors very much, this was a good one that I don't mind watching. And I don't know if you picked it up because you edited it out, but the server at the dinner that says 'it's just a theory', that's MatPat, the guy who did the Game Theory FNAF timeline videos you guys watched before this, and on his other channel Film Theorists he has some vids looking into how this film might tie into the FNAF lore, you should totally watch them
Seeing this in theaters was one of my favorite moments of 2023! It got bad reviews because critics didn’t like it, but fans absolutely loved it. The Easter eggs, references, and cameos were so good 😁
Even though it could've been the bloodfest like you guys said, I think they really succeeded in what they were trying to achieve. I consider that the unease and uncertainty that we feel throughout the movie is proof that the movie is good. Heck, even at the end you guys agreed that it was still a bit stressing. And isn't what movies are about? Making us feel emotions?
cop lady being named vanessa is super stressful.
the villain in FNAF following springtrap/afton/the golden bunny is a woman named vanessa.
the ending and sequel hook are live action recreations of FNAF 3's minigames, which tell the story of springtrap, aka, the golden bunny when the suitlocks fail and kill him.
Fun fact the gaurd who dies at the beginning was supposed to be played by Markiplier, however at the time of shooting he was busy with another project and couldn't make it.
Thank you guys for doing this for us.
I thought we only got the 3 minutes reaction and 12 minute discussion when you guys first upload this to RUclips. So thank you guys for this 🎉
IDK if anyone else in the comments has said this already, but I 𝙁𝙄𝙉𝘼𝙇𝙇𝙔 remembered that the girl who played Vanessa in this movie ALSO plays an important role in one of the seasons of an 𝘼𝙈𝘼𝙕𝙄𝙉𝙂 TV show that I REALLY WANT y'all to get into!!! And of course, I'm talking about Once Upon a Time!! Yes, it takes a while to set everything up in seasons 1 and 2, but seasons 3 and 4 are 𝘈𝘔𝘈𝘡𝘐𝘕𝘎, 5 is good but it REALLY picks up again in season 6 and then for S7, in my opinion, just watch the last 2 episodes! But even with its problems, OUAT (Once Upon A Time) is still one of my absolute favorite tv shows of all time!! 😍😍😂😂😊😊😊
the lawyer looks like he does not want to be there
Bro Syonee is so off in space the whole time, its so funny to see him so delayed in his reactions
Me and my two best friends who are all fans of FNAF since middle school, now having jobs and being adults, we were going crazy during this movie. The small references were great.
At the end when they played the credits music my jaw dropped to the floor. The Living Tombstone is one of the most beloved videogame music producers, and to have his music at the end was AMAZING! So glad this movie was finally made after YEARS of being talked about and speculated.
Some things I wish was implemented though; Phone Guy, the classic animatronic night shift where the guard has to protect his own life by closing the doors at specific times and checking the cameras, and finally, I wish the REAL Michael Afton was the protagonist. He should have been William's son, which would have made the film much more emotional and grounded. Vanessa is fine, but I think she works better as a split-personality cult follower of Afton in the future, not as a normal cop.
I loved the springlock mechanism, like a bear trap with joints on it... Slowly crushing every organ in your body.
Never thought y'all would reupload this, this is awesome. I was in the middle of watching and paused for a fewmins to get some work done, then it got cut short into just discussion, I was so confused
*"We are FNAF"*
Thanks for the reupload guys!
The low reviews the movie got are from critics who don't really know the lore behind this franchise or "fans" who thought this movie will be only scary and scary. Even the director of the movie said that this is mainly aimed to fans of the franchise.
Happy New Year, what a good way to start the New Year with FNAF
The funny thing is, most genuine OG fans loved it. It was wanna-be's who didn't. People expected this to be gory or super scary when that's not the only factor of the games. This movie was great in my opinion. Also, a lot of people forgot that this wasn't just based on the game lore but the books too. They did well, to be honest. So minor things could have been better but no movie is perfect. Can't wait to see the next one!!!
The reason to why fnaf got popular is because unlike the most horror games and movies, it didn't need to be gory to be creepy, the original FNaF games played more with the spooky atmosphere of having animatronics hunting you down at night and also the backstory.
As someone who has been a fan for many years I loved this movie I think in the beginning the it was going for a different duration. I like how the movie went deep into the animatronics by saying Hey these are kids they aren't just killing machines they still have emotions just saying this movie does go deep if you really think about it.
Remember getting home from watching this at the movie theater to seeing your reaction to it. Really sucks both of your videos (first got blocked, the second forced you to pretty much trim out the entire movie) got mercilessly destroyed by RUclips's broken af copyright system
Im so glad for the reupload
Glad you re-upload the reaction, I didn’t have a chance to watch because it was mid term at that time. If you want to understand the movie, you can watch Film theory of course. Also cool fun fact : the 8 bit intro spoils the movie alone because both the people who play William and Vanessa have their name purple and the rest are not; and the name Matthew Lillard is next to the yellow rabbit
In a lore sense. This movie did it ok. Not good but not awful. As a movie for newer fans and people just enjoying it, its GREAT. I love it. I understand the criticism of the movie though. It didn't really follow the games. But i think its a good movie as its own thing instead of trying to compare it to the games.
Glad to see you guys enjoyed, i find this movie to be exactly what it should, casual and fun horror that tells the story in a different, more streamline direction compared to the games, the many references to aspects of the games and movies as well as two of the more prominent figures in the fnaf youtube era also made it very enjoyable for me as a longtime fan of the series, and the retelling of the story in an easy to understand way made it just as enjoyable to some of my friends that have never gotten into the series before, i'd give it a solid 7.5 or 8, could've been better, but it's definitely one of the best game adaptations to date
Finally the full reaction
OH So you did end up reuploading this! NICE
In the game lore, the way that Afton lured the kid who would become Chica into the back room was by telling her her dead dog was still alive. So the common theory is that the Cupcake is possessed by the dog.
As an OG FNAF fan I really loved this movie, the lore, the references and the Easter eggs, I had a lot of fun watching this movie, I give props to the makers and Scott (the creator of the game) for making this actually happened loved the reaction
I mean, yes, having them build the fort, THEN kill people would keep the escalation going...but what we had worked so much better. Because, again, watch your video as you ALL talked about how stressed you were, knowing they were gonna snap at some point, but not when or why.
I do enjoy the movie, for what it is, but it does suffer from being the first movie. It can't jump headfirst into the deep end of FNAF lore, so everything that is known about Afton, like all the stuff in MatPat's timeline video, can't really be discussed so immediately, it works better being sequel material. My thinking is sequels will handle the adaptation of the deep lore where this movie really just wasn't able to by principle of being a gateway movie.
Yeah I think most people with complaints expected the movie to go to the deep end immediately, kinda like the first game did
As a fan I really liked the movie and how they especially included a lot for the fans, is the credit both because it’s the first FNAF song and in the theater when the song stopped for the mid-credit, I heard a theater of people singing along
“WHEN YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES AND YOU FALL ASLEEP (SLEEP, SLEEP, SLEEP, SLEEP, SLEEP…)
AND IT’S DOWN TO THE SOUND OF A…HEARTBEAT..
I CAN HEAR THE THINGS THAT YOU’RE DREAMING ABOUT…
WHEN YOU OPEN UP YOUR HEART AND THE T R U T H C O m e s o u t…”
I love this movie. It is tied for both 3rd and 2nd place in my 2023 Movie Rankings.
THE FACT. that markiplier was supposed to be the security guard that dies in the beginning makes me sad that we didn't get it
I got so sad when u guys got copyrighted I'm grateful for the reupload
No the fans are actually loved the movie its just critics giving random reviews some are actually so bad its straight up funny
Finally people who don't really know the lore or backstory of the game think this movie is good and underrated
I did not even realize this was a react video because of the thumbnail. I didn’t even know it was your guys’ channel.
Im an all-things horror and Halloween fan, including video games and movies of course. I am not joking when I say this is my favourite horror movie that has come out in years. So many are just part of a series or are so predicatble and/or stupid that I can't watch them. I was actually pleasantly surprised that this movie wasn't gorey. Too many horror movies and games today ham up the gore and jumpscares (even fnaf is guilty of the jumpscares) but the fnaf movie being so unique in its premise, story, and teen rating made it refereshing. It stands out among all the pther horror movies I've seen recently. At the time, even the game itself was revolutionary in its premise and mechanics: there was nothing like it at the time, which is part of why it became popular. I think the fnaf movie is the same way. And it can be enjoyed by children, too, as a nice introduction to horror for the future goths, horror heads, and Halloween fans.
I really loved this movie. Its not really a good movie, its mostly just fan service. but as a big fnaf fan (who also knows that the movie is supposed to be in a difrent canon from the games, and is fine with the movie being pg) i absolutly loved the movie. I watched this in a purple guy costume with my friend, and we almost cried from exitmeny over the matpat cameo and refrence, got super energetic when william afton said "i allways come back". And just straight up cried when the living tombstone's fnaf 1 song played in the credits. Amazing to hear the best, first and most classic fansong make it to the movie.😊
This movie, was interesting
I liked the Cory and Mat cameos, hated Max’s character arc, everything else was sorta whatever
“Sorta whatever” hmm? One might say it was even “Sorta Stupid!!!?” Sorry, I’ll see myself out 🚪🏃♂️
spring with friends
Happy New Year!
I love that balloon boy is in the movie
It makes me so happy to see people who aren't big on the games that enjoyed this movie and are looking forward to the sequels.
One of my favorite parts is the fact that they balanced every corner of the fanbase. Some people really like the light hearted goofy stuff, some people want a gorey messed up film, and they hit a lot of those points in one movie. I wanted it to be a bit darker, but the way that they handled it absolutely proved to me that it can still work with those lighter tones intertwined.
I loved the movie for what it was, and I never wanted it to be perfect in the first place so I’m happy :) it gave me everything I asked for: clever kills, a bite scene, a springlock scene, likeable characters, and a really fun story. I can only really think of 2 things it lacked but both of them are possibilities for the sequel. It would have been fun to have a markiplier cameo but I can forgive that because mark was busy, and it would be cool if there was a scene with Freddy’s music box but that’s a pretty minor thing. I really really enjoyed this movie.
Happy new years 🎉
This reminds me of the Spongebob episode with Spongebob Squarebear killing the Nightguard Squidward Tenteschmidt.
I am super excited for the sequel, hopefully you guys go see it.
I did like the movie and I will give it a solid 7/10. The only problem I would say is that this movie is made for fans and it requires alot of knowledge before hand to fully understand what’s happening. That’s why the critics give it a low score and the audience score is much higher.
31:19 cory moment
It's like the Mario movie where it wasn't that much as a movie, but it was for the fans. Professional "critics" gave it a lower score and audience gave it a higher score.
As a person who has played the games and watched others play it, along with reviewing multiple people’s theories on the subject (mattpats included 😅), I really liked the movie and how it portrayed the characters so far. Do I wish the pacing of the story was better? Yes. Do I wish there was more gore and William Afton doing his usual things? Yes. But was it bad that bad to have multiple people hate on the movie and compare it to the rest of the nonsense the franchise already has just to say “this isn’t fnaf”? No, and infact I would say that this movie gives peeps a baseline understanding of what the franchise generally is along with keeping it interesting as well.
You're right that it doesn't follow the lore *of the games* to a T, though I don't think it's angering fans of fnaf, and in fact I'm pretty sure that a lot loved it. We already got 2 different continuities between the games and the books, the movie is just a 3rd. I think the low reviews are just as a result of the fact that this movie wasn't really focused on bringing in an outside audience, it was more focused on appealing to the already existing fans. That's why critic scores are generally very low.
I believe a lot of bad reviews came from the fort scene. but what people don’t realize is the fact that 1. they’re still kids in those animatronics. and 2. they were doing that to gain their trust.
Man, I ain't sleeping with the lights off that's for sure
This movie is meant to be goofy fun for the fans. Of course people who don't know all the details didn't like it.
I am excited for the sequel
