what did you think of the FNAF Movie if you've seen it 🤔
First
it's ok
eh
Ye
Ap
I have a very strong appreciation for the fact that the animatronics in this movie weren’t just CG’d in and were actual life-size puppets. Blumhouse tends to do practical stuff like that really well.
Yes we know you hate cgi
@@assassin8636 he never said that he just said that he finds it cool they made the effort of actually making the animatronics
@@loafies7722 i can see the comment too, you can't just lie. he never said anything about finding it cool that they went through the effort of actually making the animatronics, he said he appreciated they didn't use cgi
They used the Jim Henson company. So they got people who know what they are doing for both the animatronics and the puppets.
@@assassin8636yes we know you like starting arguments for no reason baiter
I loved when MatPat said “That’s Just A Theory” and Theorized all over the place
My theater lost it when they saw Matt 😂
Dead meme mate cmon
@@overhauledunderpaid6469But he literally said "That's just a theory" in the movie though.
The best part is, they named him Ness because of his Sans is Ness theory
You joke, but-
I really liked Mike as a protagonist. You’d expect him to be your typical horror movie character who just stumbles into the dark and gets scared. Instead he actively makes a choice to continue going to the pizzeria. He’s very sympathetic due to his backstory, the fact he actively figures things out and ask questions shows that he’s pretty smart too. Mike really hooked me into this movie and made me invested in how he’ll both survive and uncover the mystery behind the deaths of the kids.
I'm surprised the film actually brought up about women and family courts. Not something I thought I'd hear in current movies.
Fr, the only dumb thing he does is sleep on the job numerous times, but the film does a good job explaining why he'd end up in dangerous situations that isn't just because he's dumb, his character motivations actually drive the plot which is kinda rare to see tbh. I honestly think the screenwriters did a great job building the plot around the characters rather than the characters around the plot . My only gripe really is that William Afton should have been set up as the main antagonist as he just showed up out of nowhere.
I agree.
Mike was easily the best character
@@cassielcruzchavolla809I mean he appeared early to send Mike to die.
I think what I liked most about this movie is that it really managed to capture the vibe of the FNAF fandom at its peak (the good side of the fandom, that is). It felt like one of those weirdly high budget fan films you'd find when scrolling through RUclips in 2015. Even without all the obscure references, it'd still feel like a love letter by vibes alone.
Been noticing this trend of movies based on popular movies (such as Sonic, Super Mario, and now FNaF) that movie critics would review negatively, fans love them, and others thinking they're okay or just good. Seems like they stay more true to the original properties, which I think helps a lot too. I remember there was a time that it seemed like every movie based on a videogame were viewed poorly, especially from the fans. Good that fans have these movies they can genuinely enjoy.
As someone who's been a Fnaf fan since SL came out, I genuinely think had fun & Im exited for what's to come next; this isn't the jaw-dropping, super spoopy masterpiece me & many of the fans overly hyping it up (fr or jokingly), but I still think that this is a good begining for the likely future movie franchise of sorts! It's like Sonic 1, as it pleases the Fnaf fan in me, but it can definitely be tweaked & built upon to be better! Hopefully the next movie(s) will be better & improve on the 1st!
I’d far rather have a movie adaptation that fans love and normies don’t than one that nobody does.
@@JamesP7 Agreed
@@JamesP7Way better than the video game adaptations of the 90s, 2000s, and 2010s; where both critics and fans didn't like it.
The critics were right in this situation
Honestly, if this movie had Brian Griffin, it would automatically be a 10/10 and you know that Mark.
Can’t believe they didn’t invite me
Five Nights at Brians. "Woah ass ahoy".
@@BrianGriffinW Hey, Brian the dog, remember the time-
Or Markiplier. Coulda gotten the Mark on strings at least lol
Well obviously
it felt a lot like a campy 80s horror flick, the spring bonnie scene especially... fitting considering it's set around that time period lol
The flashback / dream sequences were , modern day in this film was Feb 2000
Even campy 80s horror flicks had more gore and violence then this. I understand why they didn't though.

To be honest, I deliberately went into this movie with no expectations, and I loved it. Literally my only deciding factor for whether or not a movie is good is "Did I have fun watching it?"
Same, I liked the games when I was 15, been waiting for this movie since then, knew full well that the movie wasn't gonna be "good" but the movie was fun to watch, especially to see all the fanservice and little easter eggs in the background.
It's a movie for the fans ultimately.
I'm honestly was surprised by how solid the movie was. Its not groundbreaking and as a horror movie, its a little laughable, but honestly, I loved how ambitious the story was. I think its a little ironic though that the jumpscares were the weakest part imo. Also massive W Universal for including the remix at the end.
I don't know man. That BB jumpscare scared the shit out of me the 2 times it appeared in the movie.😂
@@cadencase52163 times lol
@@cadencase5216Bro my pants went from black to brown when BB showed up I’m so disappointed 🤣
@@cadencase5216it happen three times actually
Everyone was was just vibing in the cinema when the living tombstones came on 😊
I honestly had a really good time watching it opening night, I don't think it's anything spectacular, but for the people who waited years for this, i'd say it was worth the wait.
I’d agree!!
Taxi man, our beloved
I’d agree they even got the fnaf song from RUclips
Really? I’d say it wasn’t worth the wait.. should’ve stayed unreleased. Felt like we spent more time outside the pizzeria than inside. The animatronics weren’t even scary or mean. They were literally super friendly throughout the whole movie. The beginning scene is the most action besides when those people break in the building. 3.2/10
@@realruntz2608Well in FNAF the animatronics are literally just dead confused children. Like the movie wasn’t really about the jump scares it was more about personal drama which full length movies typically have to be about. A story. A lot of people don’t want JUMPSCARE the movie they like FNAF for the lore. I used to find Fnaf as a young kid very scary but I don’t anymore and really just liked solving lore puzzles.
They were friendly because they liked Abby and it’s explained in the movie. They’re just kids themselves really. The base Fnaf animatronics have never been shown to be overly mean or cruel to anyone who isn’t William Afton or Mike Schmidt in the games they work with kids and despite being possessed they love children because they are children. They don’t remember what happened with William or who killed them until the end of the movie.
And the ghost kids or the animatronics are really mean to Mike. They attack him multiple times and try to stuff him.
Ultimately I barely care about FNaF but even I will say the actual animatronics look really good. They're really detailed and look very faithful without coming off goofy in universe. Which I find pretty impressive.
Yeah thankfully the classics are probably the easiest of the designs to translate and look grounded in a movie
Imagine if they attempted the nightmares or funtines
@@jmurray1110 True. I would be interested in seeing if they could pull off Mangle or Ennard.
I honestly like the fact they kept William mysterious for this movie. Opens up for a sequel and can lighten us on how his backstory is like in the actual games (william was barley mentioned in fnaf one but he got introduced in fnaf 2) And they can do more stuff with Golden Freddy in the next movie too
As well as Vanessa to some extent.
Apparently the movie is not meant to follow the original lore and it's almost like an alternate timeline, with that knowledge I like it even more than I already did. They changed things up and made it work.
They shouldn’t brought vanessa into this movie and instead bring a old security guard in that retired early. They somehow managed to mess up the lore. Vanessa was never even mangend in the old fnaf, somehow she spawned as the daughter of wiliam
@@DEEZNuts-dh2neexactly
@@DEEZNuts-dh2ne the vanessa in the movie is a seperate charecter from SB vanessa
im just guessing her entire charecter was a refrence
Was pretty decent. Nothing groundbreaking but for what it was it was very good. Absolutely love the references to popular fan stuff like “Dream Theory”
I especially liked how they used that to be the main plot
Sparky's Diner :3
And I also like the reference of the annoying rainbow character, remember her?, man she's the worst.
In a way this is like the reverse of what arcane did to the original story, but man I have one big stupid smile everytime I saw all the fan service that appear
@@poonpoon1604
Seeing Cory, MatPat, and Dawko was just wow.
A lot of the plot's issues can honestly be explained by the fact that this is Scott's first screenplay. Usually when you have a situation like this, you'd partner him with another writer who HAS written screenplays for movies before. But...the other two writers with him...were also new. I do hope if they get a sequel, that they put him with a more experienced writer. Still let him have his creative freedom, but have someone able to steer it in a more clear way. Not so oddly paced in areas, like the last twenty minutes just....being a sudden dump of info and then Afton just showing up.
I thought that was the case for the writing, I was going to look it up afterwards but i just didn’t. I hope the second movie has the the FNAF 2 location
I hope it would be the fnaf 3 location and it switches back to fnaf 2 location as William goes down memory lane in spring trap
i mean i love Scott but we can all agree he's is not a good writer or atleast a story teller the entire story was made up along the way
Still it was really great a solid 7.5/10 for how good the movie is proffesionally and for entertainment value and my view of it as a fan an easy 9.5/10
Yeah I totally agree with this comment I absolutely loved the movie 8/10 for me. But in the sequel I want it to be alot better horror and story telling wise because I don't know it felt like they were holding back on this movie in some way.
Personally, ignoring story for a sec, I still think it is ridiculously impressive that almost everything in this movie is practical and they didn't cheap out with cgi (to my knowledge)
I believe there was for the Max bite of 2000 scene.
@@geekzone5685why did you say “of 2000?”
It's actually quite the opposite
cheap it with no CGI the puppets are far less pricy so. No your point is wrong

Let’s be real. MatPat’s cameo was more terrifying than the animatronics themselves.

Don’t talk about my baby girl like that 😞
He simultaneously whipped and nae-naed his way into production
Just finished it. I thought it was pretty good with a decent basis on the lore. Besides me thinking it could have done with a little less humor and more horror, I personally thought it found an okay middle ground with casual viewers and fans. I mainly found myself very torn on how much I wanted to see the animatronics in general, but also not wanting the magic to be gone from over exposure.
My take on the lore is that they basically did as some type of alternate universe but tried to make the lore from the feel cohesive and not at all like a mess the games have it in. And it honestly works. It's kinda funny how despite Vanessa's presence in the movie i actually prefer her here in the movie than i do the games.
@@e1iteyoshi998 right?? she was kind of goat in the movie lmaoo
I honestly really liked Mike as a character because you genuinely sympathise with him and his trauma, especially at the start when he beats up that guy who he thought was kidnapping a kid, when he’s offered the choice to dream about his brother and family being safe every night you understand why he would agree to that, he cares for Abby but what happened to his brother really affected him. I think he was a genuinely great protagonist and honestly my favourite part of the movie.
Completely agree. That whole sequence where he lets Abby go was very compelling, it shows that while he still loves his sister, he can't get over what he used to have before the kidnapping. I'm surprised Mark didn't care to mention any of it.
My 8 year old enjoyed it. It's a "horror" film for him. ( even the directors said that they basically made it for the younger audience.) I've never played the games, or read the books... everything I know about FNAF is from youtubers either fans themselves or theory makers. To me this feels like a few small edits and it could be shown on basic Cable in the daytime around Oct. It's hocus Pocus. It's a "family friendly" "Scary" movie to let the young ones feel like they are watching something out of their age range. back in my day this would have been rated PG. (old person here, brave little toaster, watership down, who framed roger rabbit. anything don Blurth) I feel this movie and any sequels it gets will end up like .. Gremlins I guess. Not really scary, but people will have a spot for it.
Well, this film is rated a 15 in the UK which makes no sense.
Happy your kid liked it. :)
Tbh, they dealt with some pretty mature topics as well (other than the usual FnaF stuff) like Mike is basically a pill addict in this movie, and it's handled tastefully.
For a movie obviously meant for kids, I was surprised to see that.
I really think that the environment you're in while watching the movie makes a big impact on how you feel afterwards. For me, my theatre was filled to the brim. People were laughing, gasping, and even cracking jokes at times which really enhanced the overall experience. I left the theatre with a huge grin on my face and truly believe that the audience played a big role in making a memorable experience 😁😁
I was at home with my mom and little brother. We had a ball.
You're real on that. Most of my environment was fun. However, the person who came with me to watch the movie kind of ruined the vibe for me. So that left a bitter taste in my mouth.... Hopefully on the 2nd watch, I can enjoy it alot more.
We had the same experience with people laughing, clapping, etc, and tbh it worsened the experience. The crowd was so loud and so "omg no way!!!" like every five minutes... Even if you're really excited and loving the movie, theatre etiquette should still be followed.
@@TC_EHGL Very true. There's a point at which having over-the-top reactions just turns annoying, and unfortunately, some people can't really discern where it is too well.
@@pundertalefan4391 glad yall enjoyed it!
as someone who barely knows the lore to these games, I loved this movie for just how much of an unapologetic shitpost it was. Its rare to see a film actually utilise meme humour like FNAF did
We know we suck, that makes us good!!
I don't know if it was intentional. It's like The Room.
@@_V.Va_it was intentional. The balloon boy jumpscares, the goofy slow head turns, all of that definitely felt like Scott cracking a joke.
@@akdreamer6497 Guess Scott already knows his audience, but also wasn't confident he could help make a serious film.
@@_V.Va_ I think this is what he wanted. The film felt serious where it needed to be. I think the film would've been a lot worse if it took itself too seriously.
I like the part in the Five Nights at Freddy's movie when Freddy goes "All too long have I been trapped in this metallic husk. I am like a living tombstone" and then drops his mic.
5:48 Vanessa does warn Mike about William coming after him, so it’s not like he comes out of nowhere
5:58 in the first scene with William, he hesitates to say mikes last name, so does Vanessa. They knew Garret so it’s safe to assume they knew Mike was his older brother. There’s also a chance Vanessa told William about Mike being garrets brother after he told her, which is why he knew about him and Garrett.
Still, it was a fun film, I liked the use of the dog animatronic (a pretty obscure reference to an old hoax) and I really enjoyed the theater experience. I loved Mat Pat and Cory’s cameo, and everyone in my theater cheered when William said that one line.
I liked the cinema expierence of this movie because the whole audience was just giving commentary the whole time, laughing, gasping and just generally clowning on the movie. As for the movie itself it was fine, I wouldn't have enjoyed it so much if I was watching it alone at home, but the crowd energy of the fans was just so funny.
I'm sorry where did you watch this where you wouldn't get kicked out for being loud, laughing or talking?
@@neasulavuori4955The Netherlands I guess, but honestly this is the first time I have been in such a loud theather but I think it was expected and no one seemed to mind. Also you have to like text a number and tell them people are being loud for them to get removed, there are no employees in the theater during the show to oversee it or anything
@@neasulavuori4955I don’t know where your at where people get kicked out of theaters. Only time I’ve seen people get kicked out of a theater is when I saw three people getting into a fistfight at Minions Rise of Gru💀💀💀
@@brockmaardanstoned6830it was so bad people finally had to say something 😂
@@brockmaardanstoned6830Yeah it was so weird being in such a loud theater especially here in the Netherlands. Normally we're all really quiet and pretty boring. But for the first time everyone was cheering and clapping during the whole movie. It was such an amazing experience tbh!
The plot and ending in my opinion felt too rushed, it’s like the spirits of the dead children who are within the animatronics are trying to earn Abby’s trust in order to stuff her into an animatronic suit so that she can be with them forever, and then Vanessa is like oh yeah by the way my dad who dresses in a yellow rabbit suit is coming to kill you, and William just randomly shows up out of nowhere and tries to kill them all.
Tell me about it. How did a normal guy manipulate spirits and his daughter can inject herself in dreams? Not even the opening monologue about dream connections helped explained Vanessa's way of injecting herself.
Eh. I liked it. Especially because you got to see how he died.
It has a lot of plot holes.
Vanessa knows the animatronics are dangerous but when Mike asks if they’re dangerous she just lets Abby do what she wants.
We know Max is her brother but how did he die? Is it a similar situation to Circus Baby and Elizabeth? Is Vanessa supposed to be this universes Michael Afton? The whole movie I thought she was going to be revealed as Elizabeth Afton.
Is Max the crying child in this story if William didn’t kill him? He’s very vindictive just like golden Freddy. If there’s no Charlie in this universe or no spring lock failure to kill William back when the original murders happened how did the kids possess the suits? Charlie put their souls in there but before that it was just bodies. The ghosts chased William causing the spring lock failure and Charlie puts them in the suits? Is Max an equivalent to Charlie because he seemed much more aware than all the other kids but we didn’t see his reaction to remembering his dad either killed him or got him killed?
Why did William kill Max and not Vanessa? Was it an accident?
Why did William kill the kid’s in this universe? Was he still looking for ways to be immortal? I’m this universe it seems like he just liked killing kids.
What happened to Mike and Abby’s aunt after Freddy “put her to sleep”?
Why is Mike so caught up on Garrett? He doesn’t seem like he’s depressed or suicidal but his obsession with his brother to be having dreams about his abduction every night seems like it’d make you be very depressed and unstable? And that fountain incident shows that but after that it stops. Mike is self aware that he’s been dangerous but he’s only been prescribed sleeping pills? A doctor with such a violent outburst knowing why Mike did it would probably hospitalized him until he can work through his trauma.
Just very odd choices but I had a great time.
@@trialerrorsharer9398 Who is Max? I don't recall a Max in the movie.
@@thephoenixxm4160 Okay maybe I’m misremembering names and Max was the babysitter. I assumed Max was the name of Vanessa’s little brother,the fifth child. Unless I completely misunderstood and that’s not even her brother. I thought she said the little blonde boy who didn’t have an animatronic was her little brother and his name was Max.
I’m quite the movie critic, especially with how bad most modern movies have been lately. As a Fnaf fan who played the very first game in 6th grade when it came out, to now, I was hoping it would at least be a decent 5/10 movie for nostalgic purposes. But somehow, it was a fabulous 9/10. I’m still speechless on how good it was!
Not most morden movies are bad and you know that
What most modern movies have you been watching to give this one a 9/10 and say most are bad lol
Mike's character writing saved the film for me
This movie kind of has me in two minds. On one hand, the visuals are phenomenal. Set design is awesome, the animatronics actually look and feel real (I love the Jim Henson Company’s practical work) and oddly enough, the costume design leant a lot to the ambiguous time frame the movie takes place in. Even the child actors did a great job.
But then you have the Cupcake mauling people, Freddy’s ridiculous angry eyebrows that made me laugh every time he was supposed to look menacing, and the whole audience CHEERING when Afton said the Line. Not to mention Afton fucking BODYING Mike. Like he can linebacker tackle a dude and be fine but Vanessa taps a springlock with a broom and they go off? Abby magically snapping the kids out of their stupor and turning them on Afton could have been cool but the way it was handled felt sort of rushed. Like the animatronics were ready to kill her and imprison her with them for all eternity but a doodle shows them that the child murderer is a child murderer?
Of the things people have mentioned, I’m bothered by the animatronics acting like kids the least. I think it’s kind of sweet. The scene with the fort reminds me of the surfing scene in Lilo and Stitch. Actually, a lot of the film reminds me of Lilo and Stitch.
I don’t think anybody thought this one was going to be a straight up horror, and I feel like what kills there were were fine, if obviously PG-13. It’s a solid 7/10
I don’t think the drawing scene at the end felt rushed. At the beginning of the movie the teacher tells Mike that drawings have a very powerful effect on children and at the middle Abby says to Mike that they love drawings. I feel like more could have been done but I wouldn’t say it was rushed either.
@@harley8939 I just mean that her replacing one drawing on the wall instantly causes Freddy and company to turn on the guy who kept them captive for 30 years. That's what felt rushed.
@@juno1752that’s pretty much what happened in The Fourth Closet.
Vanessa said they didnt remember who killed them ya??? i figured they reacted the way they did because abby reminded them using the drawing.
@@juno1752 I'd honestly advise you to re-read the novels/lh
Gonna watch this video later tonight, but here's my thoughts after seeing it less than an hour ago: as a movie, it was clunky and disjointed. As a fnaf experience? It was wonderful. I was smiling and laughing the whole way through, pointing at the screen almost every five minutes thinking "omg it's the thing!" I'd say go see it if you're a fnaf fan. Definitely worth it imo
How I felt. It's a fun movie, but it would be difficult to call it a gooood movie. It's a lot of fun, but like. "It's part of the fnaf franchise, so you're NOT ALLOWED to think it's bad!" that kind of mentality I feel like actually ends up harmful to really developing things you care about. I liked the movie a lot, but I just can't in my mind say it was a well made one, though very fun.
another cool reference is that the Babysitter was stuffed in Shadow Freddy and Shadow Freddys face flickers on the cameras for a sec at one point. But I do think we're going down the route with Ella and Charlie in future movies but with Abby replacing Charlie. Also with the negatives, I feel if the movie wasn't so focused on making it specifically over Five nights, we would have seen more animatronic stuff. But considering the title itself has "Five Nights" it kinda limited them to having to spread all the most important shit to the final night.
Or rather this movie was rushed to meet the 10th anniversary date
Ngl, to me it barely felt like Mike was there for 5 nights
Oh cool! I didn't notice that! The way she died was super epic, though. It was like some Kill Bill stuff.
As someone who was 10 when the game first came out, I absolutely loved this movie. Sure it did drag at points and took a while to get to the good stuff. the sets were well done and it honestly felt like a movie from a different era in a good way. The kills were creative and i do love how they add little details and change the lore around slightly.
@@TheHutchIsOn I found the movie good. You don’t have to be a dick to him about it.
Bro after the scene were freddy do "chop-chop" with the womans body, someone on my theater said "WAS THAT THE BITE OF 87?!" And i am from brazil and hearing *this line* made me laugh
I would call it a okay to good thriller but a great videogame adaptation and a open love letter to the fandom, i just love the movie way too much for me to think objectivly
My feelings exactly
I honestly hope they explore Vanessa and William’s relationship in the sequel. Like how Fnaf 2 (the game) was a prequel, Fnaf 2 (the movie) could go more in depth to the past of William and Vanessa and explain why they are the way they are. Then in the third movie, it can be about some final showdown between Springtrap and Mike.
IF we get a sequel. Nothing's been decided yet.
Mike, Michael, I am your father.
@@Tygermite well obviously it’s just speculation, but Matthew Lillard did say he signed a three picture deal so I was going off of that
@@inno8928also the end credits played the music box music from fnaf 2 at the very end
I'm hoping they'll use parts of the Vanessa/Vanny storyline from the games in the sequels since Vanessa is related to William in the movie.
My personal favorite scene was the beginning security guard fighting for his life. I do wish they focused more on those kind of moments rather than the dream theory and Vanessa plot line.
But still, at the end of the day the FNAF fan inside me enjoyed myself.
FNAF is often seen as an introduction to horror for young folks, and getting used to the idea that movies you like will have shitty RT scores is a big part of that.
Just saw it an hour ago with my sister. The people behind us would not shut the hell up. They were being rude. You can imagine how annoying they were when MatPat was on screen 😡
Did you know that being quiet in a threatening can improve the movie experience
*But hey, that’s just a theory*
har har har har har har harhar har har (it was me)
Yeah, that happened with me when I saw Across the Spiderverse.
I’m sorry to hear that :(
1 of the reasons why I'm glad to have seen this at home on via Peacock app.
The biggest stength of FNAF was its weakness here. Fans have so many different interpretations of how the series should be both tonally and in content that it was never going to satisfy everyone.
As a longtime fan of the series, i am very happy with how the movie turned out and enjoyed picking up on all the subtle easter eggs and nods to games and fan creations
as a horror movie, to me it wasn't very scary, but as a character driven movie it's great. my 11 year old nephew and I enjoyed ourselves when we watched it. hope the sequel builds off of this one and adds more character and horror.
It's not really a good movie, but it was still really fun to watch for me as a FNAF fan. I totally get why critics that have nothing to do with the fandom dislike it, but it's a great love letter to those who grew up (or are still growing up) playing the games.
Yes! It’s a total shitpost but it’s for us so fuck yeah
Shut up
I definitely agree!
@@Sm0k3turt I don’t see how being a shitpost makes it better? As a fan, I would rather have a good story and actual horror for more than 3 scenes and do something different than the game, or at least far enough so that the average fan can be invested in more ways than “Hehe it funny bad”
@@whyiwakeup6460fr the movie was pretty tame for what it wanted to be. I saw two parents bringing their (7-9) year old son 💀 I get that the franchise has gotten very childish but the movie is rated 15 here in Greece. How the parents brought their child to a movie like this is anyone's guess. But yeah, I really enjoyed the film and I was very pleased with it's production, but I would've given it a higher score if it actually was, you know, scary? The movie's plot also was very inconsistent imo. The 'Afton' details came out of nowhere in the last 15 minutes and it all ended pretty fast.
Yeah honestly I was very surprised at how tame it was for a horror movie. I'm usually a huge wuss when it comes to horror, but I had no scares when watching it. I did really enjoy it though, finally seeing a springlock failure in live-action was definitely the highlight for me
I wanted to try it because I'm usally a huge wuss with gore and blood. But I'm still unsure
Lol
@@kaitlando636 It's worth watching
@@kaitlando636go for it. All the gore us tame and it won't cause yoy to squeal or cringe (af least that how I felt)
There was only one really "gore-ey" moment i can recall and its pretty obvious its gonna happen. If it helps
*Spoiler on when to look away*

When the babysitter goes in and starts looking into freddie's mouth, I would look away if super sensitive.
not the scene where we see the corpse of the first guard?@@-lixiepixie-
Glad you mentioned the “children’s bodies in the suits” line since it’s the only part of the movie that made me feel kinda disturbed. Granted it’s never brought up again but it sets the tone for the rest of the movie pretty well.
My one problem with the movie is how it goes. As a slightly Fnaf fan myself, i thought the game would go over 5 nights. Each one is getting more difficult, and the suspense would make the terrifying moments worth it. You dont need gore for the first few nights, just really good coriaraphed suspense and jumpscares! Then the movie is perfect for me.
Still can’t believe that they used the bloody living tombstones fnaf 1 song for the goddamn credits. Legit gave me an aneurism when I heard it.
Been seeing the "make your own opinion" pop up way more with this film and while it's something to agree with I can't help to feel that we need to stop relearning this lesson
Like bloody hell we are taught the difference between fact and opinion in like 2nd grade
That’s so true. With this movie it’s either you like it or you don’t, as with most things. I just don’t like the condescending attitude from others towards people who do like the movie though.
My favorite part of the movie was at the end of the climax, where William Afton is defeated, the animatronics close in on him, Mike and Abbie carry Vanessa out of the crumbling building, the screen cuts to black… and then a kid near the front of the theater bluntly says “That kinda sucked.”
The audience laughed because that one statement was how all of us felt in that moment.
I am genuinely not joking when I say that my entire audience started cheering when MatPat said "that's just a theory."
They also started cheering the moment William Afton's name was dropped.
I really liked it, every time I noticed a reference or meme relating to the games, I got real happy. Someone in the theater screamed “was that the bite of ‘87” during the movies one scene, and it was great, I respect this movie a lot for what it is. I was somewhat impressed by the puppetry costume, and set design. I was even invested in the plot, it was not scared in the least during it, but I don’t care. I liked this movie a lot
as someone who knows a lot about the fnaf lore and story I LOVED this movie, seeing every thing in live action was incredible, also I loved the semi-Undertale reference
I didn't realize there was an Undertale reference! What was it?

Personally I don't mind if a movie doesn't go out of its way to be understandable to general audiences, I think it's more important to appeal to the fans since their the ones who will enjoy the movie the most and talk about it for years.
But an adaptation kinda has a reason to start fresh and that's when it should probably be the easiest to get into for newcomers, plus lots of movies do a good job at both so it's by no means impossible.
thats why i sorta hate the movie
An adaptation that is solely designed for fans of the property that it's adapting is such a waste of potential though from a business perspective.
Why only cater your film to a comparatively small demographic of people who know of this single franchise, when you could instead write it in a way so that anyone of the genre associated with the property can enjoy it? Would that not have the added benefit of getting more people interested in the adapted series?
Movies and shows that require you to do homework by playing, watching, or reading 10+ hours of a DIFFERENT piece of media is just inherently going to be a turn off to a lot of people. It's what making a lot of people less interested in the MCU and Star Wars shows.... if you want to watch Asoka, you need to watch Rebels first. In order to watch Boba Fett, you need to watch Mandalorian- but of wait if you want to understand the latest season of that, you need to watch Boba Fett. I sure hope you like all of these different series', as well as have time to watch them all, because otherwise you'll be left in the dark because the show itself won't bother to explain why that one character is suddenly alive unless you watched a completely different series.
@@sir.hopper fnaf is nto a small demographic it has taken the entire internet by storm literally everyone knows who freddy fazbear is to some extent
@@thegodzillafandomsrookie5514 Let's go over that sentence again, with some added emphases to a specific word:
"Why only cater your film to a COMPARATIVELY small demographic of people who know of this single franchise, when you could instead write it in a way so that anyone of the genre associated with the property can enjoy it?"
I never said, nor implied, that FNAF was part of a small demographic.
I guess I never had the expectation of being scared by the movie. I knew going in that Scott focuses on the story asspects first, before thinking about the scares so that was my expectation going into the movie and I was happy with how it turned out! I enjoyed every minute of the movie and my only "complaint" is that the spring Bonnie suit was an obvious wearable suit and didn't look like it fit among the other spring lock suits we saw in the movie
As someone who doesn't normally care about FNAF otherwise and didn't follow any of the game lore leading up to it, I still thought it was a fun time. I even got a few good chuckles out of it. It wasn't entirely scary imo, but it doesn't really have to be. The story for the most part was easy to follow too. I'd say it's just as good if not better than the Mario movie, because unlike there where things mostly just simply happened you can tell they at least tried with this one. I give it an a 7 or 8 out of 10. My brother absolutely loved it though, and I can't say I blame him. Everyone who worked on it did a surprisingly pretty good job. It's not a movie I'd personally revisit all that often, but it was still more than decent for what it did. I hope Markiplier gets to make a cameo in the sequel lol. I have lots of respect towards Scott, which is rare to see for most new games, films, TV shows, etc. creators nowadays.
MatPat dropped his video talking about his cameo and experience. He mentioned that he saw paperwork casting Markiplier as the first night guard that got murdered. I guess something didn't work out :(
@@MephiticMiasmaIt's because his schedule was already full from having a bigger part for another horror game film adaptation, Iron Lung. He said he's willing to make room for the sequel though.
I think it was necessary that it had a little more terror or suspense, if your gonna sprinkle some gory death scenes it should be seen a little more or non at all
I hope Mark gets to be Phone Dude for a FNAF 3 adaptation
Honestly I liked it. They translated the game as well as they could into a movie. It was entertaining, had references for fans and overall served as a good movie. A lot of people complaining seemingly wanted an hour and a half of someone playing fnaf 1 while matpat talks about lore in the background. It was great, they did a good job with this movie.
They totally could have done a better job adapting it into a movie if Scott hadn't went with Blumhouse, who in my opinion are known for making the most consecutive mediocre horror movies I've ever seen. This movie could've been genuinely scary if handled properly but obviously the franchise has been watered down to the point that it only caters to children, which isn't incredibly surprising but a little sad to see.
@@thc_freebaserthis bro when I heard Blum house was involved I had low hopes and that’s why I wasn’t that disappointed when I saw it
@@thc_freebaser I mean we can all agree fnaf hasn't been an adult, R rated horror franchise for a long time, arguably since it even began, no matter how grim the subject matter is. The focus of the games has been the story and lore with horror as the sort of basis for the games themselves. I think the best way I can describe it is teen/children's horror as sort of oxymoronic as that possibly sounds, and I doubt that as horror fnaf would be scary to any adults. Like just go back to the first game and genuinely tell me you find it, apart from the subject matter, frightening, even though as children we all considered it very scary. So I think as an adaptation of that kind of "teen/children's horror" they did well and it was also a nice trip through being a child fnaf fan.
My point is that we are just a too old to enjoy fnaf as a horror franchise. There is a good reason why the story is the most popular and talked about aspect of all the games.
@@thc_freebaserI mean, it’s more of a thriller movie like Scream. It’s not supposed to be all scares.
@@thc_freebaser
To expand on arcatii4794's point, FNAF has always had a childish fandom. And most of FNAF's "horror" aspects are just jump scares with a lot of them being really silly. Like, was SpringTrap merely walking up to you in FNAF 3 really scary??? I don't think so, but I respect how you feel about the movie!
Feel like this another case of the Super Mario Bros Movie where you'll have people who are fans of the games will love it, but the people who never heard of the games and were expecting something good will be disappointed.
Bro im not even a fnaf fan and decided to watch for the fun of it
And surprisingly enough, I had a good time, since I was in for that, maybe a jumpscare or two, the horror aspect was definitely lacking though, but a fun time tho
Seeing this opening night was such a blast, everyone in the audience was obviously a fan of the games. Hearing everyone lose it when certain scenes happened was hilarious and it was honestly surreal hearing something as simple as foxy singing or Bonnie hiding in the supply closet on the big screen. I've felt recently that I prefer not looking at films too critically as the most important factor is ultimately whether I enjoyed it and the memories it creates. Of course there's always a part of my brain that will try to objectively analyze media and make me wonder whether a film is actually good quality, as things can be objectively better or worse in aspects, and I believe it is important for media to be objectively criticised, but I'll leave that to the critics (Who are perfectly valid I'm their assessments of these recent video game films and opinions are valuable). I guess what I'm trying to say is that fnaf is dumb and this film is stupid, but I love fnaf and this film, and rightfully so.
I literally pumped my fist and said "YES!" when they had Foxy sing. I remember first learning about that Easter egg. It was wild.
The whole movie I was waiting for “Harharharhar”
They could've made the springlock failure scene a little bit longer and showed the locks snapping in his body and you'll see the locks going in through the cracks of the suit of the legs and explained why William killed and what is his goal. Hopefully the next movie it'll be better with more blood.
this is what i was thinking, it was incredibly tame and kinda disappointing in my opinion, wanted more gore but cant expect too much from a pg-13 horror movie
Yeah I feel like the pixel version you see in game was better 😭
I personally loved it, it has a few flaws, but I think the way they represent the games and even though the canon strayed from the games (kind of), the story seems well thought out and well written, I saw this with my parents (who only loosely know the lore) and they loved it. It wasn't what I was expecting (more action less horror), but some parts were suspenseful and actually scary. And even the parts that weren't scary, were still engaging and enjoyable. There were inconsistencies, but I'm willing to maintain suspension of disbelief and not stray from the point of the movie. I think this movie is an 8.5/10.
I think the sequel is probably going to set up the story more, sort of like the Mario movie went. This one is just an intro the story is built by the others. Especially since the puppet is hinted at in the end credits, its probably going to be a prequel with fnaf 2
I can’t believe when markiplier walked on screen to warn us that “You’ll be staying for 5 nights at Freddy’s.”
Truly, the video game film of all time

And the award for worst comment ever goes to
as a huge FNAF fan, I highly encourage other fans watch this in theaters ! if you don't like commentary and cheering over stuff, watch it on streaming. The theater experience made the movie significantly better
Yes yes it did, it felt so lively
Yes watching it in theaters was definitely the best choice for me, I just loved the crowd interaction 🥰
I feel like it also depends on where you are. I went to a late screening but there were still a lot of 9-15 year olds kind of being obnoxious 💀 like i enjoy a casual meme shout out hehe like any other but it was was too often and too loud for me 😩
My mom, my little brother and I watched on streaming, and still had a ball.
Wow…I am so honored that Mark delayed the release of this video and changed the entire script just so that it wouldn’t match my bingo card 🥲 also fun fact: when seeing this movie yesterday, after the scene when the babysitter gets chomped in half by Freddy’s jaw, I audibly said “WAS THAT THE BITE OF ‘87!?” and I shit you not the entire theater erupted in laughter. I seriously love the FNAF fandom so much, man.
I’m honestly so proud of this movie, they really stuck with the feel of FNaF and out tons of care and effort into it.
Can we just all appreciate that Blumhouse gave us, for the first time in years, a coherent and consistent version of the FNAF storyline
this movie was not fucking consistent 💀
no because they didnt?
What, this isn’t the fnaf games storyline
It’s the fnaf movie lore, not game
@@strikebomber2944 on what?
It wasn't consistent, they threw in the dead kids at the end when there was no lead up to that reveal at all except for the intro pixel art thing that most casual movie goers didn't even pay attention to.
When William Afton said “I always come back” me and my group and the whole theater screamed with joy 😂
I watched this last night in theatres and
This movie was completely fire, I did not waste my money at all. The story was solid and I loved Mike and Abby’s relationship dynamic. I don’t understand the hate with the pillow fort considering it was stated multiple times they are kids, and were/are easily manipulated, especially by drawings.
The only thing that was bad was the whole Vanessa being William’s daughter, and not being alot of Gore. But other than that the movie is a solid 9/10, plus it had many horror aspects, like Balloon Boy statue, the kids crying sound effects which honestly gave me chills. The animatronics catching bodies, the dream sequences, and the paranormal activity. I noticed alot of easter eggs too, the Chicas rainbow at the start of the movie, the its me written on the walls when the first paranormal activity started happening etc.
Bonnie and Chica looking at the cams after sending the Cupcake in the vents was pretty funny too lmfao, and i got the Freddy Fazbears pizza box (the Movie Theater pizza was garbage though) I put my ticket in there, for memory purposes. Something to never forget.
I loved going to the theater and seeing it because the crowd reactions were pretty good and weird at the same time…like 2 people called Bonnie their boyfriend lmao, was calling william “daddy”. Everyone got scared at the Balloon Boy statue thing, multiple reactions to the animatronics moving and interacting, everyone screamed and clapped when Cory appeared too.
When i was carrying the Fnaf box home it meant alot to me, idk if it was just me but it felt like i was carrying all of my childhood with me, it was a nice feeling. Can’t wait for Fnaf 2 and Fnaf 3.
Something I've noticed is that People complain A lot about how we don't get an answer as to why William kills Kids. The thing is it's never been told in the games either (not that i've seen atleast) nor the books (that one i don't know about, never read the books).
All this tells me is that we still have no idea why William kills Kids and that chances are that we won't know until FNAF ends (also if there is a next movie, the reason why he kills won't be explained in it, maybe just when and how he kills but that's it)
Edit: I think that at this point even Scott doesn't know why William kills Kids. And even if we ever get an answer most People won't like it and will hate it and say the reason doesn't make sense or is just boring or something
I was really surprised that I liked it, I watched it somewhat as a joke w some friends after watching the Scorsese movie and it was genuinely pretty enjoyable lol. Knew not to take itself seriously without also constantly winking at the camera
This came out quickly! Well done!
It really dose feel like a night budget fan made project that was released in theaters. And I am vary much okay with that. Like when Matpat made his camo I could feel the whole theater collectively do the Leonardo dicaprio point meme and it was amazing. Also everyone laughed at the fort building scene.
Warning Spoilers:
I thought it was a very fun movie, the animatronics look like they were pulled straight out of the game, but I wish they could’ve focused on some aspects more and could’ve given William more screen time, especially considering they got Matthew Lillard to play the role so it seems like wasted potential. I think the break in scene should’ve happened later in the movie so it doesn’t seem like they were trying to get it out of the way asap. I also think that having moments where Mike actually has to survive the night like in the actual games would’ve been better instead of him going to sleep literally every time he sets foot in the office, like having moments where he checks the cameras and sees the animatronics start moving would’ve been interesting to see, as well as while he’s checking the cameras one of the animatronics knocks one out. As well as while he’s surviving he finds newspapers or vhs tapes and slowly starts learning what’s going on instead of having Vanessa act like a human fnaf Wikipedia. The pillow fort scene sounds goofy, but tbh it makes sense because it’s something kids would do, even if they’re dead and possessing animatronics. And the movie wasn’t really scary, but there were moments that made me jump a little. So it’s a 7.5/10 for me.
I didn’t wanna dickride, but i ended up loving it. It’s weird. I loved it for all the things that a FNAF fan WOULD love it for, yet I’m kind of bothered about it. That there was nothing that made it truly great on it’s own. I kind of hate the mindset of “for the fans.” It means that the movie is unlikely to be enjoyed by most non fans. Scott said he wanted it to be a good movie in it’s own right, even if you’ve never heard of FNAF. Emma and Jason Always said “for the fans.” It’s shows a clear difference. Not to say they didn’t care, they clearly cared a TON. It’s just kind of confusing i guess. Like, do they think fans won’t like a genuinely great film? Dunno. Whatever the case, low 20s on rotten tomatoes is still an insult to it. I’d say around 50-60 is far more fare. At least the animatronics were great (Oscar worthy imo) and this film has by FAR the best fan service of any video game movie and it’s not even close. Great actors and set too. But man was that table fort building montage such fucking whiplash.
What do you mean dickride?
THIS. I enjoyed it so much, it was just fun. Sure it wasn’t very scary but it was just so enjoyable
Me: "This movie is okay so far but LOOK IT'S ELLA, SPARKY AND SHADOW FREDDY, YOU KINDA MIGHT SEE THE PUPPET AT ONE POINT IN THE BACKGROUND?, ITS MATPAT HOLY CRAP, THE LIVING TOMBSTONE?!" That summed up my experience lmao
i loved the fort builing montage. Sure it wasn't gory an scay like all those vhs things, but I liked it. Exploring the dead kids part really works for me, these are kids... after all.
@@radium6962 I liked that seen too, especially how absolutely goofy Bonnie was.
As a viewer that hasn't really gotten into the FNAF stuff, I REALLY enjoyed it. I watched it with my friend that is into FNAF and he helped me connect the dots in the story. Personally, I enjoy movies with great storytelling. I think the movie lived up to the hype. One flaw in this movie is where you can't really tell if the movie is a comedy or a horror film. Sure there were a few flaws here and there but as someone who isn't really into FNAF, I think the movie was good.
I feel the same way. This movie is great for people who never played FNAF but have always been curious.
i actually really loved one specific aspect...
the paralells with vanessa and mike. (mirrors?)
they both have the same trauma and feeling about it. Vanessa saw the kids being taken and killed and is implied to have been bait, Mike saw his brother being kidnapped by William (and from my understanding they probably never found out if Garrett was killed which is really sad bc theyd know hes not but still hold out hope that he was just taken by someone who wanted tk have a child and wasn't being hurt)
and their ways of coping are similar and self-destructive, but are different methods
Vanessa routinely comes to the Pizzareia to look at the animatronics and the place. I assume thst this is because of her guilt over it. she feels horrible for not having been able to save the kids back then so her only solution to that is to be in the building so they're not alone.
also given how the animatronics are nice to Vanessa, like they are with Abby, I'm guessing that she likely went to Freddy's daily even if she didn't really have to and would watch tjr animatronics. meaning they actually saw her grow up and know she's not William Afton. and tbh they likely still view her as a child. the ghosts have less memories and are kinda dumber than the kids were in life, so i wouldn't put it past them to just assume she's still a kid.
Obviously this doesn't help, it just enhances her guilt because she's terrified of telling anyone. Even though she's an adult now, William still has control over her.
Mike comes back to the memory of seeing Garrett being taken in hopes thst he can save Garrett by dreaming of the event. He's so guilty about jt because he was told to watch Garrett and even though he didn't even look away from him, Garrett was still taken and Mike seems to have been the only one who saw it happen. Even though we know the reasin he couldn't catch up to the car or remove Garrett from the car is because he was 12, his trauma won't let him accept that fact and begin to heal.
tldr William made them so silly
I overall loved the movie all the way through, I don’t think I’ve ever been so excited for a movie, but there are parts that I feel could’ve been done better or would like to see done with I guess a little more lore based, but for what we got I feel like it was very entertaining and brought justice to the series so far and would love to what else they’d bring in a sequel. I liked the attention to detail they had with the design and look of the place and even seeing animatronics from the books was also a cool detail :)
I feel the lack of harder horror is simply the inevitable crux of the franchise and something I expected coming in to the movie.
The franchise constantly want to jump around between full fledged horror, all ages Goosebumps-like scares and something toned down enough for young kids to enjoy and buy merch. With videogames and books you can get away with certain stuff easier but movies have a harder time as rules are way more strict and small elements can easily bump your movie up a rating if trying to go too far. Clearly they must have had a hard time to keep the rating they wanted in order to not fully alienate younger watchers that may be able to go see it as it's one of their most profitable group
remember that a movie may get bumped a whole rate JUST for having someone say Fuck three times instead of two. Making a horror flick that is toned down enough to be consumed by the target audience must be one hell of a balancing act
I like the part when Freddy said "it's Freddin time!" And Freddied all over the security guard
Homestly The Part that stuck out to me was when
*SPOILER:*
the animatronics became friendly between Vannesa, Abby, and Mike. Really highlighrs that when they realized that Mike was with the little sister, they became chill. As while yes, these ARE Murderous Robot Animatronics that need a good wash down, they are also tortured souls of kids. So if the kid says that the adults are chill with her, they are chill back. Also them building the fort was so out of left field and wholesome, I loved it.

Thank you for summing my thoughts up into words
Me and my friends actually thought that William should’ve actually been sort of in the background still setting stuff up but also pushing stuff along.
Edit: I also kinda like how they remembered that the kids were y’know, kids, I honestly don’t mind that.
I have to admit Mario, Sonic, and FNAF movies are being carried by the fans with them being incredibly biased because they claim it’s “For the fans” which sounds stupid to me and sounds like they’ve been watching to much RUclips videos instead of actual shows with actors, writing, and performance to know what makes a proper movie for ALL to enjoy (New, Old, and returning Fans)
To be fair unlike Mario and Sonic, we had to sit for 8 years wondering if FNAF was gonna get a movie at all
@@Dark-ql7knwell the Sonic movie was first announced in 2014 (by Sony because they had the movie rights at the time) and didn’t get released until 2020, while the Mario movie was first announced in 2018 and didn’t get released until 2023, so I’d say it’s a bit comparable
@@inno8928 Yeah but from what I saw it wasn't really mentioned all that much while with Fnaf it was fucking memed all the damn time
How do we get to this era of video game movies where we went from "Oh no, Hollywood is gonna ruined the franchise by making a terrible movie" to "How dare you don't like/say bad things about the movie?!"
Can you elaborate on this? I feel like I get what you’re saying with “The movie should be more than just ‘for the fans’.” but not enough. For example, what exactly qualifies as a good adaptation for all people?
I don’t get why William says “I always come back” even though nothing happened him. It’s like he knew he become springtrap and turn semi immortal.
Im not gonna lie, unlike other video game adapatations i actaully found myself at small moments enjoying or at least getting the intention behind the human related stuff.
It's far from perfect, but i can at least see a baseline attempt at compelling naratuve that just didnt execute it well.
And unlike sonic 2's wedding plot the human plot with mike needing to find a job to help take care of his sister while trying to find his brothers killer is at least on brand with fnaf
I had just left the theatre as you posted this. i heart fnaf.
The problem with most horror movies nowadays is that they don’t give you that feeling of anxiety or suspense. It’s just cheap jump scares and CGI gore. Talk to Me was a good horror movie because it had that feeling of anxiety in its more disturbing moments. I never believed for a second the FNAF’s movie would be scary, just entertaining enough.
Tbf fnaf didn’t have either cheap jumpscares nor gore, I did really like it
You look like if all the male characters in the FNAF movie fused
bro what are you going on about. most horror movies now more than ever are doing less jump scares and are expanding into other forms of horror. invisible man, hereditary, the menu and ready or not. these are all films that have came out in the last 5 years that dont rely on jump scares as there main form of horror so i dont understand why youre saying "most nowadays"
It was pretty good until near the end where they really started rushing. They didn’t know how to write the payoff for all these built up mysteries so they revealed that Vanessa knew every little thing from the start and is just now choosing to reveal everything. Then they shove in Afton who exposits everything and immediately dies . Even the dialogue in that scene showed how much they were rushing to explain everything what with Afton going “haha Vanessa I am your father and I killed all those kids and Mike I killed your brother haha now I kill you isn’t that irony???” They even had to throw in the ‘I always come back’ which doesn’t make sense for him to say yet because he hasn’t really come back from anything. It was fun for fnaf fans but not a very good movie. I think it should be enjoyable for general audiences, not just the fans
They didn't rush anything
I absolutely loved watching it and was totally worth the money. I can't really recommend it to too much to those outside the fandom.
I still think it did a lot better than I thought it could as a general movie but a lot was missing to make it an actual recommendation
Thank you so much for this review. After watching the movie, I liked it, but felt like something was off, I felt underwhelmed. And your review really helped me identify what was wrong with it. Thank you Mark.
i waited 8 years for this movie and im so happy how it turned out, im definitely rewatching this every single halloween as tradition lmao
What you said about that little part of you being hurt even if you still think the movie was mid/bad really checks out on my opinions of the Mario movie, and probably my opinions on this when I watch it.
If a Metroid movie comes out and gets below a 70 I might actually cry.
I absolutely loved it. I did a watch party at my house and we had a good time laughing at stuff and pointing out references. It was so much more enjoyable not taking it 100% serious and just enjoying it. It not being gorey made sense, because the game itself isn't gorey.
I was worried that this movie would try to be scary, but fail at it based on trailers. However, while I didn't think the movie was very scary, it didn't feel like it was trying to be, or at least that wasn't the main focus. The focus was on the characters and building intrigue for this world and its story, although it did leave quite a bit unexplained. But im personally glad it gives me something to look forward to in the future.
As more of a casual fan of FNAF, which knows all the lore, but has NEVER played the games (planning on buying security breach) or read the books, I really enjoyed the film. Just like your review I really feel it could've utilised the animatronics more, because after the first break in scene all the horror elements just went and I really just became numb to them.
I also love that Vanessa got a redemption arc because I feel in security breach that she is really just shown to be awful and unredeemable. I really enjoyed the film, even though it isn't top tier, or absolutely god awful I loved it.
Can we also talk about how SHAGGY is Springtrap, and Peeta Mellark is Micheal?! I'm sorry that was the only thing I could think about the entire time I was watching. Also I recognised both cameos of MatPat and CoryxKenshin.
Please don't attack me (my opinions) I watched it last night with my friends my media course, we all enjoyed it :)))
It was better than I thought it would be. I really appreciate all the effort that went into making the sets and the animatronics. The story and characters were also well-handled, in my opinion. My biggest problem is that it wasn't scary, and that's saying something coming from me. I just wish we got a movie like the FNaF+ videos... That said, I'm still glad this movie exists and I don't think it makes the games look bad.
honestly i'm happy you had fun with it! i know it's stupid to say i'm happy someone else enjoyed it, but knowing you like fnaf and at least had fun makes me smile😭
I liked the movie, I thought it was great. I agree with the points on the horror though, which is a shame. When they did try the horror in the people breaking in I thought it was good, but than that never come back the rest of the movie. Imagine if the movie was dedicated to the horror? Good lord, with those animatronic puppets they used it would be pretty scary
