As someone who never played any of the games & vaguely familiar with the lore. I quite enjoy this one a lot. I had a good time with it since I saw it in theaters with tons of FNAF fans all dressed up. No judgment here to the fans.
People either seem to love it or hate it, I was just middle of the road on it. I like some of the creative stuff they did with the animatronics, but I thought they could of kept the tension up more
I actually liked the movie only because I knew about the game but don’t play them. Josh Hutcherson and Matthew Lillard most definitely made this movie way more enjoyable
I've never played the games so I wasn't sure what to expect but I ended up really digging it. I thought the story and lore was really interesting. I can see the runtime bogging down rewatches but for the first watch I quiet enjoyed it. Plus, Lillards character doing the Ghostface knife wipe warmed my demented little heart.
Wow. Just found your channel. I can't believe you exist. So many videos I want to watch on so many things I love... and it's all so organized. Amazing, instant subscribe
This first movie should have just been the game saving most of the lore for the sequels. Five Nights at Freddy's is all about jump scares, and this movie barely had any. There is enough lore that they could do at least a trilogy of movies, so they should have just taken their time with the story
I watched the movie without knowing the game's lore, just having seen some RUclipsrs play it. For me, it was super boring and long. After finishing I went to read about the game's lore and I found it interesting, but the execution in the movie was poorly done.
@truthdetector4036 I didn't think about screaming, but yeah, I'd include that. I wasn't crazy about M3GAN like everyone else, but I can see why everyone else enjoyed it and I haven't seen Thanksgiving yet, but I do have high hopes for it.
I'll be honest fnaf needed to be a TV show. Like a 6 episode run. Have the first episode be on the missing brother or even a prequel to what the movie was. And you have the last 5 episodes be the 5 nights. Idk if that makes sense. This movie when you know the lore this movie screws it all up and considering Matt Pat spent years and hours on lore videos again, just to have them screw it all up.
Saw it in the theater opening day, I do know the games, I still think the movie is boring especially because the games offer so many potentially fun things. The teenagers in my audience were too chatty, like it went to Peacock that same day if you're gonna babble through it with your friends do it at home.
You are valid for be addicting to The Sims! It is absolutely a cornerstone of gaming and you are recognized. I am absolutely a gamer before human but I am not a FNAF fan. I'm not surprised this sucked. FNAF is not meant to be a character study though, that is very strange. Ty always for your content!
I took my 12 year old son, and thought it was a mess, but I really really *really* think this is because Cawthon is really a totally lost person when it comes to what to do with something he created (and maybe as person, yes, that's a dig at his politics)... He's just messed around with everything so much that nothing makes sense. As someone who just hears things from my kid, I can say that B plot is really and truly the A plot. But it's like three times as messy in the lore too. There were so many things I wanted to dig in on to convince my kid that it was actually kinda awful... but I am trying to be a good day and bite my tongue and let him love it lol... I think it balances out since his favorite movie has been Interstellar since he was 5 and totally likes things like Beau is Afraid. So I will like my bad movies and he can like his!
I don't play the games but I am a big fan of the lore of the games. I had to do research into the games for the job I had at the time. The story from the games is pretty directionless with a lot of stuff left intentionally vague because I don't think the creator expected it to become a huge franchise. However, it could be adapted into either a good R rated horror movie or a child friendly intro horror movie. The movie however fails to really reach either. I believe they're already committed to a trilogy so hopefully they can correct course.
A much better movie could have easily been made revolving around the origins of the Matthew Lillard character. Would've been a lot less targeted at kids but kids were going to see this and give it good reviews no matter what.
This movie not having Henry (a very important character to the game lore) should be considered a crime! Also, i recommend you watching the fnaf vhs tapes, they aren't canon, but they are GREAT!
I can’t believe people are calling this “camp”. This movie was the opposite of camp, it was dour as hell 😂 Almost no humor. Hopefully a sequel can pull a Wrong Turn 2, I think there’s potential
I absolutely hated the dialogue. Biggest pet peeve of movies is when a character is asking a straightforward question, and the other character just doesn’t answer or in this case spews dramatic bs instead of doing a big reveal. Like. Jfc this movie just felt like ‘Mike’ was extremely confused and was talking to brick walls.
Playing the games just to find out about the lore is even more convoluted. It's like the movie had trouble deciding what it wanted to really do. I liked the movie, but if you're not a fan of the games, then I can see the average movie goer not really enjoying it.
Five Nights At Freddy's has a fairly complex and mysterious lore that they could've pulled from and made for an interesting movie but they instead wasted it on a lot of weird family drama shit. Willy's Wonderland was a better FNAF movie than the actual FNAF movie.
I hope the huge success in the box office and popularity of the movie gives Blumhouse the confidence to take more risk with the sequel, hopefully making it r rated. Even me, a huge fnaf fan growing up who knew so much of the lore was fairly disappointed. That probably had to do with the fact that I watch more than 10 movies a year unlike most of the audience going out to see it though.
Don't get me wrong, I love kids and I'm happy to see family movies in theatre. But I was loathing seeing this film after hearing the theater etiquette was particularly awful for this film's crowd. So I watched it at an 18+ theater lol. The audience's disdain for the film was palpable man, with a few disappointed "What...?"s and *sighs* were sprinkled in. Kind of fun, I guess, but too many contrivances and plot holes to care. Not my cup of tea overall. I honestly should've watched it in a theater of screaming kids, would've been more memorable 🤷♂️
As a fan of the game and a bigger fan of film, I was disappointed by what we got. I knew that the movie was aiming for the PG-13 crowd and that already made me worried, especially since the more recent games have been watered down to appeal to children. One of the more interesting things about the first game is how little you actually know. The lore is in the background and you have to piece everything together on your own which made the games prime for theory videos and trying to understand the story became a hobby. The horrors of the child murders were always hidden from us so we have to imagine based on the details we’re given which almost makes them scarier than just showing it to us. There was also the oppressive feeling of how corporate the restaurant was. The player is told right away that if they did die, the company would get rid of the evidence and made you sign a waiver that released them of all responsibility. The restaurant is still functioning but is clearly past it’s prime. Even if the player knows the animatronics are trying to kill them, they keep going back night after night because that’s their job and at the end they’re given a lousy minimum wage check for their troubles. The movie missed all of that and instead tried to appeal to the younger fans, which makes sense on a marketing level but as an older fan I expected at least some semblance of the atmosphere of the first game. The missing sibling plot is pretty much lifted from the novel but the novel does a much better job tying it to the restaurant (I haven’t read the sequels tho). I can see what they tried to do with the screenplay but it falls flat, none of the storylines were particularly engaging. It was just too cheesy (pun intended) for my liking and I wish we got a more mature version that kept the early games’ atmosphere and tone. I blame most of this on Blumhouse honestly, their last few projects have been really bad as they’ve tried sticking to a mainstream brand of horror that is becoming less and less entertaining. Sorry for the long read.
Prior to seeing this movie, I've been aware of the games, but I never cared to play them for some reason, but having seen this movie over the weekend at home, I can agree with your opinion on this one because I feel like it was kinda slow pased for too long and the best part with Matthew Lillard as William Afton felt too short tbh, that should have been longer, it just feels like the boring parts of the movie were longer, but the most exciting parts were shorter, Five Nights At Freddy's 2023 is fine, but not exciting or perfect, but thats from me viewing as a film instead of a gamer
I think it might have been better if the lore was more vague like the games, so the story could have been a straightforward horror with a mystery unfolding in the background. Like a pg-13 Hereditary basically.
I only watched a short video on the basic lore of the games before checking out the movie (because I was curious) and I had a fun time with it! Was it amazing? No, but it also wasn't bad for me personally. I see where all of the criticism is coming from. I also am biased because I adore both Josh Hutcherson and Matthew Lillard, so that gave this movie like an extra star and I'm not even sorry about it.
The movie was ok but i could not take all the screaming and yelling of unfunny jokes by the kids in my theater. I legit complained and got a refund for the first time of my life
My little sis is a big FNAF fan and she said the movie was really good and I really enjoyed it too but I agree the pointless sub plots were not needed you can easily take it out and not miss anything I was genuinely bored by those scenes I loved the animatronics fight scene, building the table Fort scene and the climax were the best parts of this movie
I'm a FNAF fan since 2014 but that didn't affect my viewing or what I thought of this film, cause if the film was bad, then I would've hated it. Also, this film doesn't do nothing wrong with the lore, it's just a simple version of it with some changes..that's it! this film does the game justice and it's a fun movie, but apparently it's so bad that nobody can enjoy it without beign called a dumbmass fan
This one was *meant* for the fans. Everyone who hasn't played the games that I've asked what they thought of the movie never ranks it higher than "meh." it's been stuck in development hell forever and went thru multiple directors/scripts. Personally I had a good theater experience surrounded by friends and fans, crowd laughed or cheered when we saw something from the series. On rewatch tho? It's just ok.
It’s a really good starter movie for kids though. I took my 6 year old to go see it and it was like her first movie theater scary movie experience and we had a blast.
I had heard the name before, but I honestly thought it was somehow related with Freddy Krueger, lol. But knowing zero about the lore, I actually had a pretty good time watching the movie and definitely look forward to a sequel.
YES YES AND YES ! I feel like this movie was just and only for the game fans and it just shouldn’t be like that cause look at Silent Hill . I have never played the games and I adore the film. The girls and the gays were back for Josh and at least he served us , hope we get to see him more :( . And goshhh yes , the sub-plot storyline was way too heavy for this film like seriously ? Lmafo
Even as a fan of the franchise, I agree the film was very messy, and mismatched the lore to try to make it fit, but that's how films work. As the for the film, I found most of your thoughts to align with, and if a lot more thought put into the plot, it probably could've a great film that no only the fans, but everyone else could've enjoyed. I think the film could've also benefitted from an R-Rating, and the side plots were more setbacks than pleasant acommpaniment. *Spoliers* I agree that if they leaned more into the custody side plot and removed the lost brother one that the film would've been much better, especially given how much screen time the dream sequences took up. The movie doesn't do much in terms of scare, and even though the animatronics intially had an intimidating feel to them, the sister becoming friends with them really seemed to diminish that. Probably had to do withat PG-13 rating. Overall, I don't hate the film, and there are certain things I like, but due to certain issues with the plot, it fell flat.
I am a sucker for the game but this movie is really bad. The games has a lot of theories that are far more interesting and disturbing but they went to the route of theory that is just very lame that I despise.
I'll stick with Willy's Wonderland even though the shaky cam sucks and I hate it it still delivers on what it is and knows what it's doing. Even though WW is a complete rip-off concept of FNAF, it at least doesn't take itself seriously and has fun with the concept plus there's a lot of gore and delivers on what it's suppose to be. It has problems like shaky cam which turns me off I can't stand movies horror/action doing shaky cam to where I can't see wtf is going on. Also, not a fan of Hunger Games too much shaky cam. I think Battle Royale is miles superior even though it's just 1 book and 1 movie. It did what THG couldn't for me and made me care for the characters. Plus BR came first. THG's is just a watered down copy. What would be interesting is to get your take on THG vs BR and FNAF vs WW in comparison vids to see what you thought of each. Also, the only horror video games and lore I care about are the first 3 Silent Hill games. Not a fan of Resident Evil I like survival horror not action horror.
Ive never played the game but i had fun with this. Its like...Sinister for kids😂 Josh Hutcherson was fantastic here. Once I realized the Henson company did the puppets...it all made sense. Super heavy subject too. Can we discuss how if what happened to the villain is what happened to the kids, how horrifying that is? Also...*possible spoiler* * * * * * * * Big nostalgia in the reveal and the "I will always come back" was just the icing on the cake. Felt like a little nod😂
I’m Gonna Defend This Movie. I Know Pretty Much Nothing About The Lore Of FNAF But I’m A Fan Of The Games. By The Time The Movie Was Over I Knew Way More About It Then I Did Before Seeing It. 8/10
I liked it a little better than you did. I'd give it 3 stars, but I don't really disagree with anything you said about it. Even more than M3GAN, this would have been WAY better with heaps of gore. Oh well. Hopefully this will lead to more genre work for Hutcherson and Lillard. Well, I suppose it WILL if they sign on for FNAF 2. I think it was helped by the last movie I saw in the theater being Exorcist: Believer. That set the bar pretty low. 😂
Never played the game, but I was familiar with the basic premise and I really enjoyed the film. It had the perfect spooky and quirky Halloween vibes for me and I really enjoyed the true crime-ish feel of the animatronics' backstory. Also my childhood crush Josh Hutcherson slayed.
I feel the same I just wish they hadn’t got rid of the horror element . Not enough jump scares or actual violence like the lore is known for . The fort building scene was my least favorite didn’t think it was needed
As a fan of the franchise since the beginning I loved the movie. Yeah it has its problems but I overall liked the movie. I fell off the franchise a couple years back though so I’m not fully up to what everyone else is, but to me coming back to the franchise when the most recent game came out, even though I didn’t get into it, I learned a lot about the fan base and the way it had become more tailored for kids. I feel like if kids weren’t so into the franchise and the movie had come out in its hay day then it would’ve been rated R because this is a franchise filled with child murder, mutilations, and robots wearing the skin of people. This franchise was dark, disturbing, and gross in a very cool way cause there were mini games in the style of old video games that gave the lore and it was cool and dark. l just hope the next movie takes more risks and is better written, cause I did love the movie but I do understand why some people don’t like the movie. Also I’m gonna get to meet Matthew Lillard on the 18th and I’m very excited about it!!
Oh my days I thought I was alone in this opinion. I thought it would have been a fun film. This is a fun vacuum, anyone thinking this is proper campy doesn't know camp! Matthew Lillard is great with what he's given but there's nothing here to really make him memorable. Josh Hutcherson's is well done and compelling in ANOTHER film, it's a drag in this. This needed to go bonkers Evil Aliens splatterfest. Instead we got C grade Prisoners mixed with 10% of D grade Chopping Mall!
I saw it in the theater and on peacock. I really enjoyed the movie and was a huge fan of the games beforehand. I just wish we would have got an R rated version . I feel like a few lines fell flat but I loved the casting and the Easter eggs were fun to spot with a cameo I really enjoyed seeing
@@HauntedHippie yea I have a few gripes with it personally could’ve been more effective but I watch the film for fun . The fort building was my least favorite part . They took the horror element out of it which made me sad .I hope they listen to the fans when making the sequel.
i think a sequel could be alot better because they told the origin story in this movie, so for the sequel they can focus on making a movie for everyone and not just the fans
Being one of your patron members I watch you reviews with an open ear to listen to what you think and feel. I fully understand your point of view on this movie. I have not played any of the games, but I know it’s on VR too. I gave it three stars. I try not to be a critic. I don’t criticize you because I can see where you’re coming from and I’m always here to hear what you think. After your review I’d probably score it two and a half stars. Maybe a sequel will give us more kills. 🤡 But it’s nice it made some money so as to help others who put out Horror to get better funding is my hope.
@@HauntedHippie it’s always nice and appreciated to get a reply from you. Especially with all you have to do. I do like your hearts. I give my two cents but always in a respectful way. Sometimes I like a movie a little more than you may. But I also see your reviews that I gave it less stars and feel to go back to see it again because you’re so insightful I may have miss something you saw. 🙂
lmao dragging gamers spoiler alert: I kinda agree with you- I think there’s too much subplot. I love dream stuff but they didn’t use it to its full potential, it was more like flashbacks. I feel like if they cut the custody stuff and focused on the characters and mystery of the place it would’ve hit harder. oh well! defo one for the teens. I think PG-13 horror can be morbid- temple of doom is pretty gnarly and I think that’s PG-13
Yeah, this is a fan movie because the creator of fnaf was heavily involved in the making of the movie. So i completely understand why people who are not into or know about fnaf will not like it. The creator put a lot of Easter eggs in the background of the movie for the fans of fnaf, similar to how he does it in his games. I'm pretty the company got a deal to make 2 more, and Scott (the creator) usually like to make his story connect. So I'm pretty sure this movie was the stepping stones for what is to come. With all that been said, good review.
Hey Kylie, huge fan! I comment a lot and have enjoyed your content for years. The comments dehumanizing “gamers” and generalizing them as if they were beneath you wasn’t necessary and really disheartening. The gaming community is wonderful because it’s a mix of all different kinds of people from all over the world, coming together to enjoy common interest. I hope next time you can use different and more kind rhetoric because I can’t be the only person you rubbed the wrong way.
I’m not obligated to be kind to a community that’s generally horrible to me and other women/minorities/etc. Maybe consider why I’m able to make those kinds of generalizations and have majority of people agree with me
I didn't think it was great but serviceable enough loved Matthew Lillard he was totally stu at the end I've never played any of the games but I can understand why for the people that have played the games loving it as much as they do overall I give it a 7/10
That’s pretty much of your review, they could’ve change it better than original game. I’ll be honest about fnaf story is pretty lack luster and make you really confused, and I completely forgot about it. Also villain twist reveal is really predictable, like I know when they cast Matthew in this movie, and yep I called it!
I work at a theater and decided to pay to watch it at 3:45 opening day instead of waiting to watch it for free 14 days later. I personally thought it flew by, BUT I'm a FNaF fan so maybe that's why I don't understand what critics say. Btw, you're honestly the kindest Freddy's disliker so I completely respect your you're opinion. Just don't forget you're a very awesome and gorgeous woman. I apologize for any rude haters who attack you for voicing your respectful opinion.
Saw five nights of Freddy in the theaters people who are fans of the games seem to really dug this one. myself I fall in line like yourself never play the games knew nothing about the plot except from watching the behind the scenes clips on how the movie was gonna be made. Walking into it blind feeling a bit optimistic. The film was all over the place. The overall look of the animatronics was fantastic. Mathew Lillard performance as always he kills it good to see him here gave a breath of fresh air. The subplots, storyline, character portrayals; as well as the main protagonist was so subpar. Didn't live up to the hype.
I got to be honest I'm confused as well as to why this franchise is so popular but I don't have much to say other than for the people that do enjoy these games and this movie more power to them
Despite any negative review or positive they made a lot of five nights at Freddy's video games and there might be a movie sequel. Also fun fact the creator of five nights at Freddy's originally tried making children video games but he got not that much attention until he did five nights at Freddy's kind of ironic.
I didn’t even know it was based on a video game until after I watched it. The whole time I was watching I thought they were just inspired by chuck-e-cheese lmaooo.
Tbh. I saw it in the drive in theater and it enhanced the scare factor for me. I don’t think it’s the best movie of the year or the best movie really at all but it was enjoyable. I liked it. It had flaws though…..😂
Loved the unscripted review Kylie! I don't much about the FNAF lore either but I know it's pretty complex. While I know you didn't really like or care for the movie, I do appreciate your honesty in these. I just hope people will behave themselves in the comments when it comes to your criticisms. Thanks again Kylie! Also I love the lighting you used in the video!
Also Matthew Lillard was supposed to play a very evil, depraved, lost antagonist yet it felt everything but. Just way to campy for a plot as terrifying as fnaf, just very underwhelming imo
I've tried. I really have....but I sat down 4 different times to give this a shot and I fell asleep each time. Granted, I was smoking some fine fine marijuana...but with that said....that's how I roll everytime I watch a movie and I make it through plenty hahaha!! Some of the animatronics were def cool though, I won't even lie haha
I can see non-fans of the games not enjoying the movie and that is okay. As a fan I enjoyed it and had fun looking for Easter eggs which kept it from feeling like a 2 hour movie. Yeah, the dream stuff dragged on a bit though the interactions with the ghost children was cool. The movie wasn't perfect by any means, but it was a love letter to the fans. The movie is like the books, it takes place in a similar universe as the games. The 8/16-bit intro summed up the important part of the game lore that related to the movie. Stu tried to live an honest life starting anew life as the owner of a Chuck E Cheese style resteruant. Children being the worst and driving him back to a life of murder.
I forgot to comment this but this movies fatal flaw is advertising it as a killer animatronic movie because its not really that although i will say this for the second movie that should change because we refer to them as the toy animatronics they are glossy and clean looking. And they are not POSSESSED by children and they are actual Killers so hopefully if you do decide to see fnaf 2 you will enjoy it they stated this movie was never meant for the general audience and they weren't trying to expand the audience until the sequels and this was only a movie for the fans considering it took 9 years for this to come out.*biting them in the ass now* So i would hope you give fnaf 2 a chance. OH AND THE SUBPLOT WITH THE BROTHER IS NEW FOR THE MOVIE! AND NEVER FEAR AS HE SAID "I ALWAYS COME BACK" HE IS AN ESSENTIAL CHARACTER IN THE FRANCHISE SO HE WILL COME BACK 🙏🙏🙏🙏 I APPRECIATE YOU BEING HONEST AND RESPECTFUL!
I love fnaf 😂. I saw this in theaters when it came out, and my theater was hyped throughout the whole movie. It’s a great fnaf movie with so many Easter eggs and references to the games, but with some controversial changes from the video game lore; 8/10 fnaf movie. That being said, solely as a movie, definitely not an 8/10, and I can totally understand someone who knows nothing about fnaf not liking it
I was more of a fan of the lore and even with that i thought it was bad, very inconsistent throughout like it didn’t know what it wanted to be even as a horror fan it didn’t do much for me
Umm, well, PG13 means I'm almost certainly out. It depends, but most of the time with this type of movie its true. I'm not gonna bother. Good review though. Didn't make me wanna watch it at all (thanks!), but good and entertaining regardless. PS: agree on M3gan. Pretty shit.
M3GAN is a rip-off of the Child's Play remake which I loved. Mark Hamill as the new voice of Chucky, the Joker fit like a glove for me it's so underrated. If you want a rated R FNAF movie check out Willy's Wonderland with Nicolas Cage.
I've not played any of the games, but I was always under the impression that the audience for them was way younger, like 12-13. And so when I look at this movie through that lens as sort of a 'my first horror movie' type thing, I thought the level of violence was appropriately low and honestly if I was still a kid I bet I would have really dug this movie. I agree with you as an adult that it wasn't particularly good, but I can definitely see the value in looking at this movie as essentially a kids movie.
You gotta also understand that the fnaf movie was in development hell originally it was gonna come out i believe 2015 or something like that but it had so many scripts that were scrapped in being made, idk if u know this youtuber but markiplier or just mark was gonna be in this movie but his role was gonna be at the start with the security guard running away from something but it was cut because he has a movie being made called iron lung, but yes it is proven that the main 4 characters of the franchise freddy foxy bonnie and chica are all practical no cgi was needed except for the cupcake i think. And my only complaint was it should've been rated R because the lore of this movie is really fucked up and disturbing but they did it for the lil kids, i liked it but it should've had more gore and mathew lillard should've had more scenes, hopefully he'll have more scenes in the next 2 movies
Lol yeah it does, i just hope yk they do something better in the second movie cuz like I said I did enjoy it but I do understand the issues people have with it
watched it in theaters didn't enjoy it but the surprisingly largely female audience who grew up with the game seemed to love it heard them freaking out throughout but as a movie 3 out of 10.
I am a gamer and a fan of the FNAF franchise and I won't scare you. I only play the first one and watch RUclipsrs play the game. I agree that it should be gory and rated R cuz what Purple Guy did deserves to be rated R. Hopefully if there's a sequel, it would be rated R.
as a huge fan of the francise for the last 6 years this movie was everyting i wanted, but i 100% understand that people who know noting of the games woudnt like it.
my 14 yo brother made me watch this movie and was mad at me when i didn`t enjoy it, other than that im excited to watch ur video, a great way to spend my monday night
Always love these unscripted videos. And while I do play video games, I definitely don't relate to that really toxic side of "gamers." While I haven't seen it, from what I heard this movie is more so for the fans than anything. I actually haven't played the games but I have read up on the lore and I do think it's interesting but it's also kind of confusing. So it's understandable for general audiences to be confused coming in without knowing really anything. Which is sort of similar to the MCU and DC movies. Even though I haven't read much of the comics, I do love the stories and characters. But movies from both sides and really live action movies and shows in general don't seem to excite me anymore. The only one I can think that amazed me in recent years is The Batman. It's why I usually stick to animation since most animated stuff has always been far more enjoyable to me. Even though you didn't really like this, I do appreciate the review. I hope the comments don't get bombarded by fans saying and calling you the most horrible and disgusting things for this. Honestly the extremely toxic behavior of obsessed fans in really any fandom is why I just have a hard time being a part of any community. Hopefully things are tame but I won't be surprised if it gets heated. But thanks as always Kylie! Also I really love the purple lighting in this
@@HauntedHippie Oh I didn't think you were at all since I knew exactly what type of gamers you were talking about cause I also have that same amount of disdain for them. And from watching your Outlast playthrough, I know you've said that you're not really into gaming with just how disorienting it can be, which is understandable. Plus I'm in a few gaming communities hosted by female gamers so I definitely know what type of gamers you aiming your comments against since the female gamers I follow have said the same thing
12:40 You beat me to it! I've never played the games (Although to be honest I'm not a big fan of spooky games/movies, I prefer to watch other people discuss Horror instead) but I seem to remember FNAF being the big thing 7 or 8 years ago. I didn't even know they were making a movie based on the game until this video popped up! Feels like the moment to make a FNAF movie came and went about 6 years ago. Same goes with The Uncharted movie that came out last year. Or that Slender Man movie that I've heard was apocalyptically bad. 😂

"Gamers scare me", this is normal thought coming from a 99 old lady!
I actually liked the movie only because I knew about the game but don’t play them. Josh Hutcherson and Matthew Lillard most definitely made this movie way more enjoyable
Went to see this in the theater and the smell of teenager was overpowering
She have the same thoughts than my grandma has. 😂😂
teenage spirit smell
As opposed to Elder smell? 😂😂😂🤢
Hi Kylie do you read horror novels? And do you have a favourite?
Thats why i went early, teenagers scare the living shit out of me
I've never played the games so I wasn't sure what to expect but I ended up really digging it. I thought the story and lore was really interesting. I can see the runtime bogging down rewatches but for the first watch I quiet enjoyed it. Plus, Lillards character doing the Ghostface knife wipe warmed my demented little heart.
This felt like a David Lynch movie by people who don't understand David Lynch movies.
Wow. Just found your channel. I can't believe you exist. So many videos I want to watch on so many things I love... and it's all so organized. Amazing, instant subscribe
This first movie should have just been the game saving most of the lore for the sequels. Five Nights at Freddy's is all about jump scares, and this movie barely had any. There is enough lore that they could do at least a trilogy of movies, so they should have just taken their time with the story
I watched the movie without knowing the game's lore, just having seen some RUclipsrs play it. For me, it was super boring and long. After finishing I went to read about the game's lore and I found it interesting, but the execution in the movie was poorly done.
Apart from Saw X and Evil Dead Rise, which have been great movies, this year hasn't been a good year for horror movies.
M3GAN, Scream VI, Thanksgiving all got pretty decent overall reviews from critics and fans. This FNAF movie was crap though.
@truthdetector4036 I didn't think about screaming, but yeah, I'd include that. I wasn't crazy about M3GAN like everyone else, but I can see why everyone else enjoyed it and I haven't seen Thanksgiving yet, but I do have high hopes for it.
I'll be honest fnaf needed to be a TV show. Like a 6 episode run. Have the first episode be on the missing brother or even a prequel to what the movie was. And you have the last 5 episodes be the 5 nights. Idk if that makes sense. This movie when you know the lore this movie screws it all up and considering Matt Pat spent years and hours on lore videos again, just to have them screw it all up.
a tv show would've slapped actually and all that was good about the movie def could've been expanded upon
The Scariest Cut has joined the cult! Great review BTW!
Saw it in the theater opening day, I do know the games, I still think the movie is boring especially because the games offer so many potentially fun things. The teenagers in my audience were too chatty, like it went to Peacock that same day if you're gonna babble through it with your friends do it at home.
You are valid for be addicting to The Sims! It is absolutely a cornerstone of gaming and you are recognized. I am absolutely a gamer before human but I am not a FNAF fan. I'm not surprised this sucked. FNAF is not meant to be a character study though, that is very strange. Ty always for your content!
I took my 12 year old son, and thought it was a mess, but I really really *really* think this is because Cawthon is really a totally lost person when it comes to what to do with something he created (and maybe as person, yes, that's a dig at his politics)... He's just messed around with everything so much that nothing makes sense. As someone who just hears things from my kid, I can say that B plot is really and truly the A plot. But it's like three times as messy in the lore too. There were so many things I wanted to dig in on to convince my kid that it was actually kinda awful... but I am trying to be a good day and bite my tongue and let him love it lol... I think it balances out since his favorite movie has been Interstellar since he was 5 and totally likes things like Beau is Afraid. So I will like my bad movies and he can like his!
I don't play the games but I am a big fan of the lore of the games. I had to do research into the games for the job I had at the time. The story from the games is pretty directionless with a lot of stuff left intentionally vague because I don't think the creator expected it to become a huge franchise. However, it could be adapted into either a good R rated horror movie or a child friendly intro horror movie. The movie however fails to really reach either. I believe they're already committed to a trilogy so hopefully they can correct course.
A much better movie could have easily been made revolving around the origins of the Matthew Lillard character. Would've been a lot less targeted at kids but kids were going to see this and give it good reviews no matter what.
The movie should’ve had a R rating because they can convey the severity of Aftons actions and the horror the kids would’ve gone through
Really enjoying your content! Please keep it up :D
This movie not having Henry (a very important character to the game lore) should be considered a crime! Also, i recommend you watching the fnaf vhs tapes, they aren't canon, but they are GREAT!
I can’t believe people are calling this “camp”. This movie was the opposite of camp, it was dour as hell 😂 Almost no humor. Hopefully a sequel can pull a Wrong Turn 2, I think there’s potential
Fun fact: the animatronics were animatronics and separate wearable suits basically there was MINIMAL VFX
It started out decent then took a major nosedive. I plan to watch again in a few weeks to see if it grabs me differently
I absolutely hated the dialogue. Biggest pet peeve of movies is when a character is asking a straightforward question, and the other character just doesn’t answer or in this case spews dramatic bs instead of doing a big reveal. Like. Jfc this movie just felt like ‘Mike’ was extremely confused and was talking to brick walls.
Playing the games just to find out about the lore is even more convoluted. It's like the movie had trouble deciding what it wanted to really do. I liked the movie, but if you're not a fan of the games, then I can see the average movie goer not really enjoying it.
All Hail Matthew Lillard! He was easily the best part of this film!
YESSSS MASTERRRRR! Peter McNicol Renfield anyone? * realizes it's a really random comment *... * crawls under a couch and dies *
Five Nights At Freddy's has a fairly complex and mysterious lore that they could've pulled from and made for an interesting movie but they instead wasted it on a lot of weird family drama shit. Willy's Wonderland was a better FNAF movie than the actual FNAF movie.
Yup and someone will defend it as a comedy thriller though it was billed as a horror movie.
Agreed on Willy's Wonderland.
Well the games do have the Afton Family, so we just have to see where the movies are headed
@@DORAisD34D I just hope they give Springtrap that slasher villain energy in a sequel
I hope the huge success in the box office and popularity of the movie gives Blumhouse the confidence to take more risk with the sequel, hopefully making it r rated. Even me, a huge fnaf fan growing up who knew so much of the lore was fairly disappointed. That probably had to do with the fact that I watch more than 10 movies a year unlike most of the audience going out to see it though.
!!!!
Don't get me wrong, I love kids and I'm happy to see family movies in theatre. But I was loathing seeing this film after hearing the theater etiquette was particularly awful for this film's crowd. So I watched it at an 18+ theater lol. The audience's disdain for the film was palpable man, with a few disappointed "What...?"s and *sighs* were sprinkled in.
Kind of fun, I guess, but too many contrivances and plot holes to care. Not my cup of tea overall. I honestly should've watched it in a theater of screaming kids, would've been more memorable 🤷♂️
As a fan of the game and a bigger fan of film, I was disappointed by what we got. I knew that the movie was aiming for the PG-13 crowd and that already made me worried, especially since the more recent games have been watered down to appeal to children.
One of the more interesting things about the first game is how little you actually know. The lore is in the background and you have to piece everything together on your own which made the games prime for theory videos and trying to understand the story became a hobby. The horrors of the child murders were always hidden from us so we have to imagine based on the details we’re given which almost makes them scarier than just showing it to us.
There was also the oppressive feeling of how corporate the restaurant was. The player is told right away that if they did die, the company would get rid of the evidence and made you sign a waiver that released them of all responsibility. The restaurant is still functioning but is clearly past it’s prime. Even if the player knows the animatronics are trying to kill them, they keep going back night after night because that’s their job and at the end they’re given a lousy minimum wage check for their troubles.
The movie missed all of that and instead tried to appeal to the younger fans, which makes sense on a marketing level but as an older fan I expected at least some semblance of the atmosphere of the first game. The missing sibling plot is pretty much lifted from the novel but the novel does a much better job tying it to the restaurant (I haven’t read the sequels tho). I can see what they tried to do with the screenplay but it falls flat, none of the storylines were particularly engaging. It was just too cheesy (pun intended) for my liking and I wish we got a more mature version that kept the early games’ atmosphere and tone.
I blame most of this on Blumhouse honestly, their last few projects have been really bad as they’ve tried sticking to a mainstream brand of horror that is becoming less and less entertaining. Sorry for the long read.
Don’t apologize! Found it insightful
Prior to seeing this movie, I've been aware of the games, but I never cared to play them for some reason, but having seen this movie over the weekend at home, I can agree with your opinion on this one because I feel like it was kinda slow pased for too long and the best part with Matthew Lillard as William Afton felt too short tbh, that should have been longer, it just feels like the boring parts of the movie were longer, but the most exciting parts were shorter, Five Nights At Freddy's 2023 is fine, but not exciting or perfect, but thats from me viewing as a film instead of a gamer
I think it might have been better if the lore was more vague like the games, so the story could have been a straightforward horror with a mystery unfolding in the background. Like a pg-13 Hereditary basically.
I only watched a short video on the basic lore of the games before checking out the movie (because I was curious) and I had a fun time with it! Was it amazing? No, but it also wasn't bad for me personally. I see where all of the criticism is coming from. I also am biased because I adore both Josh Hutcherson and Matthew Lillard, so that gave this movie like an extra star and I'm not even sorry about it.
The movie was ok but i could not take all the screaming and yelling of unfunny jokes by the kids in my theater. I legit complained and got a refund for the first time of my life
I skipped this one. I'll just watch Willy's Wonderland if I want a fun B movie about killer animatronics.
This movie felt like this other movie in the end and I’m like how did I not see that coming
My little sis is a big FNAF fan and she said the movie was really good and I really enjoyed it too but I agree the pointless sub plots were not needed you can easily take it out and not miss anything I was genuinely bored by those scenes I loved the animatronics fight scene, building the table Fort scene and the climax were the best parts of this movie
I'm a FNAF fan since 2014 but that didn't affect my viewing or what I thought of this film, cause if the film was bad, then I would've hated it.
Also, this film doesn't do nothing wrong with the lore, it's just a simple version of it with some changes..that's it! this film does the game justice and it's a fun movie, but apparently it's so bad that nobody can enjoy it without beign called a dumbmass fan
Who called anyone a dumbass?
This one was *meant* for the fans. Everyone who hasn't played the games that I've asked what they thought of the movie never ranks it higher than "meh." it's been stuck in development hell forever and went thru multiple directors/scripts. Personally I had a good theater experience surrounded by friends and fans, crowd laughed or cheered when we saw something from the series. On rewatch tho? It's just ok.
It’s a really good starter movie for kids though. I took my 6 year old to go see it and it was like her first movie theater scary movie experience and we had a blast.
I had heard the name before, but I honestly thought it was somehow related with Freddy Krueger, lol. But knowing zero about the lore, I actually had a pretty good time watching the movie and definitely look forward to a sequel.
YES YES AND YES ! I feel like this movie was just and only for the game fans and it just shouldn’t be like that cause look at Silent Hill . I have never played the games and I adore the film. The girls and the gays were back for Josh and at least he served us , hope we get to see him more :( . And goshhh yes , the sub-plot storyline was way too heavy for this film like seriously ? Lmafo
I fear that Josh and Matthew returning for a sequel would force me to go lol
The purple lighting is sooo good!!!
Even as a fan of the franchise, I agree the film was very messy, and mismatched the lore to try to make it fit, but that's how films work. As the for the film, I found most of your thoughts to align with, and if a lot more thought put into the plot, it probably could've a great film that no only the fans, but everyone else could've enjoyed. I think the film could've also benefitted from an R-Rating, and the side plots were more setbacks than pleasant acommpaniment.
*Spoliers*
I agree that if they leaned more into the custody side plot and removed the lost brother one that the film would've been much better, especially given how much screen time the dream sequences took up. The movie doesn't do much in terms of scare, and even though the animatronics intially had an intimidating feel to them, the sister becoming friends with them really seemed to diminish that. Probably had to do withat PG-13 rating.
Overall, I don't hate the film, and there are certain things I like, but due to certain issues with the plot, it fell flat.
I am a sucker for the game but this movie is really bad. The games has a lot of theories that are far more interesting and disturbing but they went to the route of theory that is just very lame that I despise.
I'll stick with Willy's Wonderland even though the shaky cam sucks and I hate it it still delivers on what it is and knows what it's doing. Even though WW is a complete rip-off concept of FNAF, it at least doesn't take itself seriously and has fun with the concept plus there's a lot of gore and delivers on what it's suppose to be. It has problems like shaky cam which turns me off I can't stand movies horror/action doing shaky cam to where I can't see wtf is going on.
Also, not a fan of Hunger Games too much shaky cam. I think Battle Royale is miles superior even though it's just 1 book and 1 movie. It did what THG couldn't for me and made me care for the characters. Plus BR came first. THG's is just a watered down copy.
What would be interesting is to get your take on THG vs BR and FNAF vs WW in comparison vids to see what you thought of each.
Also, the only horror video games and lore I care about are the first 3 Silent Hill games. Not a fan of Resident Evil I like survival horror not action horror.
What is the Game of hunger?
serious question - What makes you think Thanksgiving won't be good when you've got Scooby Doo ranked as one of your top 10 horror movies on a list lol
Red herring/Faulty analogy fallacy
this shouldve been our collab
Fuck
Ive never played the game but i had fun with this.
Its like...Sinister for kids😂
Josh Hutcherson was fantastic here.
Once I realized the Henson company did the puppets...it all made sense.
Super heavy subject too. Can we discuss how if what happened to the villain is what happened to the kids, how horrifying that is?
Also...*possible spoiler*

Big nostalgia in the reveal and the "I will always come back" was just the icing on the cake. Felt like a little nod😂
This is how we get Stu’s return lol it won’t happen any other way
I’m Gonna Defend This Movie. I Know Pretty Much Nothing About The Lore Of FNAF But I’m A Fan Of The Games. By The Time The Movie Was Over I Knew Way More About It Then I Did Before Seeing It. 8/10
I liked it a little better than you did. I'd give it 3 stars, but I don't really disagree with anything you said about it. Even more than M3GAN, this would have been WAY better with heaps of gore. Oh well. Hopefully this will lead to more genre work for Hutcherson and Lillard. Well, I suppose it WILL if they sign on for FNAF 2. I think it was helped by the last movie I saw in the theater being Exorcist: Believer. That set the bar pretty low. 😂
Just watched it last night. 100% agree with you on everything.
Willys Wonderland is literally the movie you wish this was lol
I was bored by that one but. Willing to give it a redemption rewatch after this
this movie was so bad that it made me watch a 1 hr lore video to see if i just didn’t get it or something 💀
Never played the game, but I was familiar with the basic premise and I really enjoyed the film. It had the perfect spooky and quirky Halloween vibes for me and I really enjoyed the true crime-ish feel of the animatronics' backstory. Also my childhood crush Josh Hutcherson slayed.
I feel the same I just wish they hadn’t got rid of the horror element . Not enough jump scares or actual violence like the lore is known for . The fort building scene was my least favorite didn’t think it was needed
As a fan of the franchise since the beginning I loved the movie. Yeah it has its problems but I overall liked the movie. I fell off the franchise a couple years back though so I’m not fully up to what everyone else is, but to me coming back to the franchise when the most recent game came out, even though I didn’t get into it, I learned a lot about the fan base and the way it had become more tailored for kids. I feel like if kids weren’t so into the franchise and the movie had come out in its hay day then it would’ve been rated R because this is a franchise filled with child murder, mutilations, and robots wearing the skin of people. This franchise was dark, disturbing, and gross in a very cool way cause there were mini games in the style of old video games that gave the lore and it was cool and dark. l just hope the next movie takes more risks and is better written, cause I did love the movie but I do understand why some people don’t like the movie.
Also I’m gonna get to meet Matthew Lillard on the 18th and I’m very excited about it!!
Oh my days I thought I was alone in this opinion. I thought it would have been a fun film. This is a fun vacuum, anyone thinking this is proper campy doesn't know camp! Matthew Lillard is great with what he's given but there's nothing here to really make him memorable. Josh Hutcherson's is well done and compelling in ANOTHER film, it's a drag in this. This needed to go bonkers Evil Aliens splatterfest. Instead we got C grade Prisoners mixed with 10% of D grade Chopping Mall!
For what they did with the movie I liked it the animatronics were pretty cool and also the knife swipe iykyk
I saw it in the theater and on peacock. I really enjoyed the movie and was a huge fan of the games beforehand. I just wish we would have got an R rated version . I feel like a few lines fell flat but I loved the casting and the Easter eggs were fun to spot with a cameo I really enjoyed seeing
So glad at least some of the fans got what they wanted 🙏🏼
@@HauntedHippie yea I have a few gripes with it personally could’ve been more effective but I watch the film for fun . The fort building was my least favorite part . They took the horror element out of it which made me sad .I hope they listen to the fans when making the sequel.
If you had to pick would you rather rewatch 1. Five Nights at Freddy’s or Exorcist Believer?
FNAF for sure
i think a sequel could be alot better because they told the origin story in this movie, so for the sequel they can focus on making a movie for everyone and not just the fans
Being one of your patron members I watch you reviews with an open ear to listen to what you think and feel.
I fully understand your point of view on this movie. I have not played any of the games, but I know it’s on VR too.
I gave it three stars. I try not to be a critic. I don’t criticize you because I can see where you’re coming from and I’m always here to hear what you think. After your review I’d probably score it two and a half stars. Maybe a sequel will give us more kills. 🤡 But it’s nice it made some money so as to help others who put out Horror to get better funding is my hope.
I’ll never be mad about a horror movie doing well in the box office but I feel like blumhouse never takes away the right lesson from their numbers
@@HauntedHippie it’s always nice and appreciated to get a reply from you. Especially with all you have to do. I do like your hearts. I give my two cents but always in a respectful way. Sometimes I like a movie a little more than you may. But I also see your reviews that I gave it less stars and feel to go back to see it again because you’re so insightful I may have miss something you saw. 🙂
You be spittin sometimes
lmao dragging gamers
spoiler alert: I kinda agree with you- I think there’s too much subplot. I love dream stuff but they didn’t use it to its full potential, it was more like flashbacks.
I feel like if they cut the custody stuff and focused on the characters and mystery of the place it would’ve hit harder.
oh well!
defo one for the teens. I think PG-13 horror can be morbid- temple of doom is pretty gnarly and I think that’s PG-13
As in Indiana Jones? That’s PG 😭 so I’m right there with ya hahah
@@HauntedHippie yes!!! lmao literally PG and they rip homie’s beating heart out- blood and everything.
kid’s movies used to be scary!
I appreciate this review although I don't like to play the games I do like the lore of the games. But I'm still up to see it
Yeah, this is a fan movie because the creator of fnaf was heavily involved in the making of the movie. So i completely understand why people who are not into or know about fnaf will not like it. The creator put a lot of Easter eggs in the background of the movie for the fans of fnaf, similar to how he does it in his games. I'm pretty the company got a deal to make 2 more, and Scott (the creator) usually like to make his story connect. So I'm pretty sure this movie was the stepping stones for what is to come. With all that been said, good review.
Hey Kylie, huge fan! I comment a lot and have enjoyed your content for years. The comments dehumanizing “gamers” and generalizing them as if they were beneath you wasn’t necessary and really disheartening. The gaming community is wonderful because it’s a mix of all different kinds of people from all over the world, coming together to enjoy common interest. I hope next time you can use different and more kind rhetoric because I can’t be the only person you rubbed the wrong way.
I’m not obligated to be kind to a community that’s generally horrible to me and other women/minorities/etc. Maybe consider why I’m able to make those kinds of generalizations and have majority of people agree with me
the vague gamer hate in this video is hilarious
I didn't think it was great but serviceable enough loved Matthew Lillard he was totally stu at the end I've never played any of the games but I can understand why for the people that have played the games loving it as much as they do overall I give it a 7/10
That’s pretty much of your review, they could’ve change it better than original game. I’ll be honest about fnaf story is pretty lack luster and make you really confused, and I completely forgot about it. Also villain twist reveal is really predictable, like I know when they cast Matthew in this movie, and yep I called it!
I work at a theater and decided to pay to watch it at 3:45 opening day instead of waiting to watch it for free 14 days later. I personally thought it flew by, BUT I'm a FNaF fan so maybe that's why I don't understand what critics say. Btw, you're honestly the kindest Freddy's disliker so I completely respect your you're opinion. Just don't forget you're a very awesome and gorgeous woman. I apologize for any rude haters who attack you for voicing your respectful opinion.
Saw five nights of Freddy in the theaters people who are fans of the games seem to really dug this one. myself I fall in line like yourself never play the games knew nothing about the plot except from watching the behind the scenes clips on how the movie was gonna be made. Walking into it blind feeling a bit optimistic. The film was all over the place. The overall look of the animatronics was fantastic. Mathew Lillard performance as always he kills it good to see him here gave a breath of fresh air. The subplots, storyline, character portrayals; as well as the main protagonist was so subpar. Didn't live up to the hype.
I got to be honest I'm confused as well as to why this franchise is so popular but I don't have much to say other than for the people that do enjoy these games and this movie more power to them
True
Despite any negative review or positive they made a lot of five nights at Freddy's video games and there might be a movie sequel. Also fun fact the creator of five nights at Freddy's originally tried making children video games but he got not that much attention until he did five nights at Freddy's kind of ironic.
I didn’t even know it was based on a video game until after I watched it. The whole time I was watching I thought they were just inspired by chuck-e-cheese lmaooo.
Maybe it would’ve been better that way 😭
It really would have!!! That’s what I was hoping for. And I wrote that comment before you mentioned it in the video😅
Agreed, the dream sequences were sooooo unnecessary & repetitive. Would have been so much better rated R with more gore
I've played the game a few times with my nephew and niece in California; not sure if the movie captured the same vibe
Imagine if Leigh Janiak made this movie instead. Holy crap.
Tbh. I saw it in the drive in theater and it enhanced the scare factor for me. I don’t think it’s the best movie of the year or the best movie really at all but it was enjoyable. I liked it. It had flaws though…..😂
Loved the unscripted review Kylie! I don't much about the FNAF lore either but I know it's pretty complex. While I know you didn't really like or care for the movie, I do appreciate your honesty in these. I just hope people will behave themselves in the comments when it comes to your criticisms. Thanks again Kylie! Also I love the lighting you used in the video!
Wow.. Josh hutchersons only 5’5”? I tower over that mofo too! Hahaha I remember seeing him in movies when I was a kid cuz he was too lol
Also Matthew Lillard was supposed to play a very evil, depraved, lost antagonist yet it felt everything but. Just way to campy for a plot as terrifying as fnaf, just very underwhelming imo
I've tried. I really have....but I sat down 4 different times to give this a shot and I fell asleep each time. Granted, I was smoking some fine fine marijuana...but with that said....that's how I roll everytime I watch a movie and I make it through plenty hahaha!! Some of the animatronics were def cool though, I won't even lie haha
I can see non-fans of the games not enjoying the movie and that is okay. As a fan I enjoyed it and had fun looking for Easter eggs which kept it from feeling like a 2 hour movie. Yeah, the dream stuff dragged on a bit though the interactions with the ghost children was cool. The movie wasn't perfect by any means, but it was a love letter to the fans.
The movie is like the books, it takes place in a similar universe as the games. The 8/16-bit intro summed up the important part of the game lore that related to the movie. Stu tried to live an honest life starting anew life as the owner of a Chuck E Cheese style resteruant. Children being the worst and driving him back to a life of murder.
I'm confused, was he a child murderer and the suits were a place to store the body's or did he need the kid's body's and ghost for the suits to work?
Maybe both who knows
He’s a child murderer and stuffed their dead bodies into the suits
If you haven't checked out Willys Wonderland staring Nic Cage? I think you would seriously dig that!
I forgot to comment this but this movies fatal flaw is advertising it as a killer animatronic movie because its not really that although i will say this for the second movie that should change because we refer to them as the toy animatronics they are glossy and clean looking. And they are not POSSESSED by children and they are actual Killers so hopefully if you do decide to see fnaf 2 you will enjoy it they stated this movie was never meant for the general audience and they weren't trying to expand the audience until the sequels and this was only a movie for the fans considering it took 9 years for this to come out.*biting them in the ass now* So i would hope you give fnaf 2 a chance.
OH AND THE SUBPLOT WITH THE BROTHER IS NEW FOR THE MOVIE!
AND NEVER FEAR AS HE SAID "I ALWAYS COME BACK" HE IS AN ESSENTIAL CHARACTER IN THE FRANCHISE SO HE WILL COME BACK 🙏🙏🙏🙏 I APPRECIATE YOU BEING HONEST AND RESPECTFUL!
This movie didn’t know what it wanted to be at all. I personally thought it was terrible. Not scary for the most part.
I love fnaf 😂. I saw this in theaters when it came out, and my theater was hyped throughout the whole movie. It’s a great fnaf movie with so many Easter eggs and references to the games, but with some controversial changes from the video game lore; 8/10 fnaf movie. That being said, solely as a movie, definitely not an 8/10, and I can totally understand someone who knows nothing about fnaf not liking it
I was more of a fan of the lore and even with that i thought it was bad, very inconsistent throughout like it didn’t know what it wanted to be even as a horror fan it didn’t do much for me
Umm, well, PG13 means I'm almost certainly out. It depends, but most of the time with this type of movie its true. I'm not gonna bother. Good review though. Didn't make me wanna watch it at all (thanks!), but good and entertaining regardless.
PS: agree on M3gan. Pretty shit.
M3GAN is a rip-off of the Child's Play remake which I loved. Mark Hamill as the new voice of Chucky, the Joker fit like a glove for me it's so underrated.
If you want a rated R FNAF movie check out Willy's Wonderland with Nicolas Cage.
I've not played any of the games, but I was always under the impression that the audience for them was way younger, like 12-13. And so when I look at this movie through that lens as sort of a 'my first horror movie' type thing, I thought the level of violence was appropriately low and honestly if I was still a kid I bet I would have really dug this movie. I agree with you as an adult that it wasn't particularly good, but I can definitely see the value in looking at this movie as essentially a kids movie.
but then why leave in the grotesque plotline of human corpses inside the animatronics and all the child kidnapping and murder hahah
@@HauntedHippie 😂 that’s a great point, I definitely agree. The source material is pretty damn dark for like a product that skews towards kids haha
You gotta also understand that the fnaf movie was in development hell originally it was gonna come out i believe 2015 or something like that but it had so many scripts that were scrapped in being made, idk if u know this youtuber but markiplier or just mark was gonna be in this movie but his role was gonna be at the start with the security guard running away from something but it was cut because he has a movie being made called iron lung, but yes it is proven that the main 4 characters of the franchise freddy foxy bonnie and chica are all practical no cgi was needed except for the cupcake i think. And my only complaint was it should've been rated R because the lore of this movie is really fucked up and disturbing but they did it for the lil kids, i liked it but it should've had more gore and mathew lillard should've had more scenes, hopefully he'll have more scenes in the next 2 movies
And i understand ur opinion on it and trust me i feel the same way but i do like it alot even though im not a hardcore fan
No wonder it feels like a 2010s film
Lol yeah it does, i just hope yk they do something better in the second movie cuz like I said I did enjoy it but I do understand the issues people have with it
watched it in theaters didn't enjoy it but the surprisingly largely female audience who grew up with the game seemed to love it heard them freaking out throughout but as a movie 3 out of 10.
I am a gamer and a fan of the FNAF franchise and I won't scare you. I only play the first one and watch RUclipsrs play the game. I agree that it should be gory and rated R cuz what Purple Guy did deserves to be rated R. Hopefully if there's a sequel, it would be rated R.
as a huge fan of the francise for the last 6 years this movie was everyting i wanted, but i 100% understand that people who know noting of the games woudnt like it.
my 14 yo brother made me watch this movie and was mad at me when i didn`t enjoy it, other than that im excited to watch ur video, a great way to spend my monday night
Hahaha sounds about right
Always love these unscripted videos. And while I do play video games, I definitely don't relate to that really toxic side of "gamers." While I haven't seen it, from what I heard this movie is more so for the fans than anything. I actually haven't played the games but I have read up on the lore and I do think it's interesting but it's also kind of confusing. So it's understandable for general audiences to be confused coming in without knowing really anything. Which is sort of similar to the MCU and DC movies. Even though I haven't read much of the comics, I do love the stories and characters. But movies from both sides and really live action movies and shows in general don't seem to excite me anymore. The only one I can think that amazed me in recent years is The Batman. It's why I usually stick to animation since most animated stuff has always been far more enjoyable to me. Even though you didn't really like this, I do appreciate the review. I hope the comments don't get bombarded by fans saying and calling you the most horrible and disgusting things for this. Honestly the extremely toxic behavior of obsessed fans in really any fandom is why I just have a hard time being a part of any community. Hopefully things are tame but I won't be surprised if it gets heated. But thanks as always Kylie! Also I really love the purple lighting in this
I appreciate that because my commentary about gamers doesn't apply to you that you didn't get offended lol
@@HauntedHippie Oh I didn't think you were at all since I knew exactly what type of gamers you were talking about cause I also have that same amount of disdain for them. And from watching your Outlast playthrough, I know you've said that you're not really into gaming with just how disorienting it can be, which is understandable. Plus I'm in a few gaming communities hosted by female gamers so I definitely know what type of gamers you aiming your comments against since the female gamers I follow have said the same thing
12:40 You beat me to it! I've never played the games (Although to be honest I'm not a big fan of spooky games/movies, I prefer to watch other people discuss Horror instead) but I seem to remember FNAF being the big thing 7 or 8 years ago. I didn't even know they were making a movie based on the game until this video popped up! Feels like the moment to make a FNAF movie came and went about 6 years ago. Same goes with The Uncharted movie that came out last year. Or that Slender Man movie that I've heard was apocalyptically bad. 😂
