As somebody with PTSD, I can tell you that it is in fact possible to have the same dream every night for MONTHS in a row.

I watched this with my 15 year old daughter who is totally involved with FNAF, she loves it and I thought it was okay… the best part was her realizing that the bad guy was Matthew Lillard that she had seen as Stu in Scream and didn’t recognize him lol

Fun fact there were plenty of darker scenes in this movie, but unfortunately got cut out of the movie because of movie ratings like, for instance, there was apparently going to be a scene where Vanessa as a child, would look at a dark room and hear screams of children as you can faintly see William Afton killing them

To keep it short: It was an okay movie. Way too mild to be a good FNAF or horror movie BUT those costumes and location are amazing! I would give it a 6/10

I think this movie was definitely meant to purposefully leave heaps of possibilities and doors open for the second film. My biggest wish for the second film is that they dive into the 80s more with William afton (and show more of his relationship with vanessa) if it’s a sequal (which it most likely will be) they could definitely use heaps of flashbacks.

Great review as always, but one critique is that we actually do know what happened to garret. He was killed by afton. That's it. Like not in a way that tied him to any of the animatronics, but apparently just as a murder in general. We know this because when we see the photo of Vanessa as a kid, she's holding garrets plane, presumably given to her by William as a gift. Then, when he's being attacked by afton, he says that he will kill him like he killed his brother.

Even as a diehard fnaf fan this is the BEST review I’ve seen over the movie. Compliments what it does right and doesn’t sugarcoat the genuine flaws. Hats off👑👑

i gotta say- as a die-hard fnaf fan, i tried to go into the movie with relatively low expectations; i knew a lore accurate movie was pretty much impossible, ....but oh god... the "freddy and friends save the day" shit with mike's weird ass little sister just had me rolling.

I've seen an older Elvis popping up a lot lately. Very distinguished. That's a guy who's opinion I trust.

I'm pretty sure that the scene with the hand reaching out of the animatronic's mouth is a reference to multiple fan-made creepy-pasta videos, most notably "audio_recognition.mp4 [FNaF/VHS]" which still gives me chills every time I revisit it. It's a great concept when it's the ghostly-pale hand of a murder victim who believes that they can still be rescued, but when it's a fleshy hand belonging to a giggling child with murderous intent... yeah, I agree that it's corny.

Aww, your wife "Meaning more to you than anything in the world" is adorable. Well done sir, You are doing it right 😊

0:04 i’ll admit, that’s a fucking sick transition

Imma be honest even as a fan of the game, it was just alright for me. Felt a little rushed, and plenty of suspenseful moments missed for me. Still kinda fun to watch.

The only other evidence that Steve raglan noticed about Mike was if you look at the car there was no license plate which means Garrets kidnapping was premeditated but it could have also been a detail that Mike missed and isn’t featured in his dreams. Edit: Thank you’ll so much for the likes!

I saw the fnaf movie with my son and we really enjoyed it. An R-rating could have made it creepier or more intense but I understand they were targeting younger teens as well as longtime fans; it didn't ruin the experience for me and an okay PG horror movie gives me something I can actually watch with my kids... that's the most important thing in my opinion. Also a few counter points I thought I'd bring up: 1. What Mike was doing is loosely based on the concept of lucid dreaming, where you can control and interact with your dreams in a very deliberate way. I have done this on a few occasions, and they say you can train yourself to become better at it over time. So it's really not that far fetched, nor is it unreasonable to think that a desperate person would cling to any hope they could. 2. I don't understand why people seem to think trauma just magically disappears over the course of a few years or even decades. I know people who had just 1 horrible experience and it has lasted a lifetime of pain. I know it's just a movie, but I think our perception of how people deal with trauma and the timeline for recovery is incredibly skewed. My uncle drank and did drugs until it claimed his life, and it was all because he lost his older brother when they were young. 3. Why wouldn't Afton know the last name of his first victim? It probably made news coverage and clearly there is some connection between the families even if they don't spell it out blatantly (I assume Mike's dad worked with Afton and it will be a plot point of the 2nd movie). 4. Age gaps between siblings isn't that uncommon, my brother and I are 12 years apart and my wife's sister is almost 13 years older than her. My parents are in their 50's now and my bro is in his early 20s, so the gap between Mike's sister and him isn't really all that unbelievable. Especially if you consider the idea that his parents may have had another child in an attempt to try and fill the void of his brother, happens more than you think. 5. That cupcake was hilarious!

11:47 Mike has been spending months, maybe even years, using a combination of lucid dreaming training, self-hypnosis, and drugs, to ensure he gets the same dream every night. This is all laid out in the movie, if you were paying attention.

Whether people think the movie is good or bad, you have to admit, this year was THE YEAR for FNAF.

It's worth noting that when William first read Mike's name he stuttered at the last name and had a noticeable pause. I think there's for sure more to him than just a random security guard

The phrase “I always come back” is what Afton says in the games when he dies

Are we not gonna talk about that immaculate transition from Shaggy to Springtrap in the beginning?

Five Nights at Freddy's by The Living Tombstone is actually the first FNAF song and without it the FNAF fandom probably wouldn't have been as big.

i think the cop character really brought the story down. her showing up for multiple nights didnt make sense. her getting involved in mikes personal life after only knowing him for a few hours was too pushy and mike never pushed back. they could have made mike say he let her be weird and confusing and pushy with him bc shes a cop or something. if some lady showed up on my first? second? night at a job id have politely asked her to leave so i could do my job. they truly tried to make her seem like a good person underneath all the deaths she caused with her father but thats not a good person thats an annoying cop.

One thing I can say for certain is that those who think the movie is 10/10 are just in a delusion to make themselves believe the movie is attending to all expectations and is everything they wanted, which is not true

It wasn't an 87% because it was a great movie. It's an 87% because it hit every visual marker it needed to. It looked SO good. Everything made it look and feel like Fnaf come to life. The story, on the other hand, was a bit rough.

I think the only reason William recognized Mike's last name is because his business partner is Henry (who is Mike's dad in this timeline). William had contempt for Henry which is why he killed Henry's youngest son Garrett, who is presumably the replacement for Charlotte (the first kid to ever be murdered by William, also Henry's daughter)

I do wish we had gotten out R rated Gorey horrific fnaf movie but ultimately I’m happy with the book game lore hybrid we got

The theory is that his brother is the puppet and Mike's father is a stand in for Henry Emily. They're definitely getting a sequel, so it's a safe play to leave questions

As a person with a childhood trauma I gotta say that it can be very realistic to have the same vivid dream for nights and nights on end, Elvis.. It's unpleasant to say the least, especially when you wake up from it, finally manage to go back to sleep and the shit starts anew. So far no pills have helped with it either.

The suits are amazing ...my gf is a huge fan so she was pointing out how things were different and taking from the book

Umm, guys? Is this Freddy Fazbear’s?

The moment he asks abby, what are the animatronics and she says "Ghosts" and he just goes "oh, make sense" is funny af

Finally someone who knows the movie had more potential to be scary if it was rated R

I do think it was funny that the people meant to destroy the place came in during the day.. how would that get the night guard fired? He wasn't there..

I wouldn’t consider myself a die hard fnaf fan but the movie made me really happy when I watched it. I don’t really know why. So 10/10 for that

I think having Vanessa be related to Afton was a not so good writing choice considering Afton only had one daughter in the lore and she died at a young age. I also just hated Vanessa's writing for her dialogue in general *shrug* I hope that this testing the waters first movie leads us to some really great sequels

I think Garret will be a lot more important in the 2nd movie, thats already in pre-production. Scott said in a twitter post that he will listen to fan and critics and probably makes the 2nd one scarier. A lot of Plot that happens in the 1st movie will probably be explained in the 2nd. And Vanesaa got Brainwashed by William Afton, to do things she does not want to do. And also, i always come back is a iconic Line of William Afton, because he always does come back. Its just one of the most known and iconic voice lines in the franchise

I don’t think this matters, but in the FNAF game series, William is British. But he’s seemingly American in the movie; I don’t hear an accent.

12:24 he said the thing!!

I think the critics underrated it, so the fandom took it upon themselves to counteract the critics so they overrate it. The same happened with Super Mario.

I don't think the criticism of Mike still being grief stricken was all that fair, he explains in the movie that he also lost his parents because they couldn't get over the grief. He has a difficult time supporting himself and his sister because he basically has no family left except his crazy aunt. I don't think this movie was perfect or anything but for what it was I thought they did a good job. This movie is way more entertaining than most horror movies coming out today, and better written. The set was great, the animatronics were practical, and I honestly thought Josh Hutcherson did a great job, he really sold his character well and his passion made me like Mike a lot more than I think I would have if someone else took the reins. The plot has its issues but I was really drawn in by Mike as a character and I think the movie would've been way better if it focused on him more. The fort scene was stupid and Vanessa made no sense but I don't think these parts of the the movie made it unbearable to watch. I think that the movie would've felt way more solid if it didn't try to pander so much to children, like I was 11 when the first game came out and I never really figured that the robots were really INTELLIGENT y'know, like possessed sure but I figured that they just acted violently because they were in a more base form, like unintelligent robots with unbridled rage or something. These robots though lose all their mystery and intrigue when they build that stupid fort, and after that scene this movie loses all of its steam and just goes down hill. If this movie had more serious moments like more character development for Mike and his sister, and moments that were similar to the games with cryptic storytelling I think it could've been a great movie, but I think my mental rating is like a 65 -70 (I kind of liked it sue me). Should've been rated R but that would never happen.

When Afton says, I always come back, that's his signature line that started back in the FNAF 3 trailer. Also he doesn't actually die in the movie either, just like in the games, he barely clings onto life in the suit for thirty years until the events of FNAF 3. While it was goofy to actually see, it is faithful to the games.

You know, mikes brother could have been stuffed into a balloon boy suit, and is using a mini balloon boy figurine to try to comunicate to his brother. It would expalin a lot.

Regarding the films story and themes, Scott played a major part in the films story development. The books also don’t match the games (exactly), but themes and characters carry over in different ways in this franchise than in most. Scott sometimes gives a 1-to-1 character a completely different name or design based on how he wants his message conveyed, so it not following the video games 1 for 1 is pretty on point for how the story has been told in this series.

I 100% agree. If they had used the actual lore it would've been a hell of alot better. The OG story is really fucked up and cool, scott accidentally wrote some really cool narritive beats

I stopped playing the games after the 4th one because I was too old for it, and at that point in time the internet decided it was cringe to play the games. When the movie was finally guaranteed to happen and the trailer dropped; I decided to visit my childhood and watch it. I had fun, I've always been a fan of practical effects over digital and the best part was easily the animatronics themselves. And yeah, Springtrap's scene was great; 14 yr old me would never have guessed that I'd ever see the Springlock scene in live action, on the big screen. I wouldn't give the movie a 10/10, but I had a good time and I enjoyed the highlights of the movie.

The reason he had the same dream was because he was forcing himself to and took pills he thought if he did he could remember a plate or a face that would show him who took his brother

Personally, I think alot of issues with the movie could've been solved with a longer runtime, then they would have more room to develop Vanessa, William, and Garrett and allow them to explore more of the games story

I thought it was pretty clear in the movie, Abby has some special needs issues. She's autistic or something, and also she's been talking to these ghosts for years, they're her only friends. Her ghost friends that she loves and trusts taking control of a robot to play with her isn't something I would expect her to find scary in the least.

Same Elvis! My friend who knows nothing of FNAF loved it while I, having known the characters and lore, thought it was mediocre. Not bad, but not good either

I was really shocked when Shaggy showed up at the end and used his Super Mega Ultra Powers and obliterated the cupcake. Great scene.

well matthew lillard signed on for three movies so i think they already wrote three movies into an arc with the lore they wanted to involve…like maybe they didn’t fully write three movies yet but i think they know they are doing for the three movies it that makes sense…so I wouldn’t be surprised if they had already made plans for the second one so they could pop out one every year around Halloween? it’s also blumhouse who love low budget horror 😂 but i think there’s a good chance the second movie will delve into the backstory with the pizzeria and William Afton, Garrett, the puppet, and a bunch of other stuff, so I’m really interested to see what they do

My biggest wishes for Fnaf would have been if they leaned into more of the slasher elements of the movie. Of the whole movie, we get 2 sequences (both incredibly short) of the animatronics and Afton actually posing a threat. The sequences where they were just messing around with the animatronics felt quite dumb and the dream sequences were useless. I wish Matthew Lillard was given more room to shine. He's a great actor with long and early ties to horror in Scream and Scoobie Doo. After I learned that the Ghostface and Springtrap now share the same actors, it made me want a Scream-like chase sequence near the end where Michael and William actually duke it out, nodding to the Fnaf franchise with plenty of jumpscares, and towards Scream with more than just him wiping the knife, maybe add a couple of classic Stu quotes to bring a bit of comedic relief to the chase sequence

as a fan i found the film kind of disappointing its mainly because of the source material changes, we don't get to see mike in the office trying to defend himself from the animatronics and the office itself doesn't even resemble the one from the game. also while not outright comfirmed, its heavily implied in the games that mike and michael are the same person and it really makes me wonder why the movie didn't went with that, it would have given mike a bigger connection to both freddy's and the antagonist. the animatronics lack the threatening and creepy presence they have in the games and before anyone uses the "there possessed by kids excuse" in case you forgotten there possessed by kids in the games too but that didn't stop them from being scary, i didn't really like that they become so friendly early on it really took away the suspense, that fort building scene felt like an unintentional middle finger to anyone who was hoping this was gonna be a genuine horror film. and vanessa is afton's daughter? yeah okay i guess were just gonna ignore his 3 actual children from the games. some might think this is nitpicking but this is just how i feel if you like it that perfectly fine but personally this isn't what i wanted from a fnaf film, it lacks the scary tone of the games and feels more like a horror comedy, though i guess that should have been expected since after 4th game the franchises started to tone tone down the creepiness most likely out of fear of scaring away the younger fans i honestly prefer some of the fanmade fnaf films over this cause while not perfect i feel like they did a better job capturing the tone of the games.

Elvis: i was sad to learn that this wasn't the Micheal who killed his brother but the security guard st the first five nights at Freddy's game! Fans: ... Should we tell him? Other fans: *No* let him leave in peace!

As a horror movie it should have been a lot scarier. I'm surprised that they did very little with the camera thing from the first FNAF game and have the animatronics move towards the office with Mike having to survive. Also I found the movie to be too long.

Although the execution is mid, I’m fond of the fact that the FNAF Movie tried to do its own thing while mixing up elements of very significant parts of the medias -Mike could’ve have had more extensions to him as a character like more natural buildup of him believing the hauntings and why he chooses to have his dream Hopefully some of problems of the first movie get addressed in the second movie like what happened Garret who is most likely going to be the Puppet 10:55 Did he watch the Bang of 87’ memes

Afton is 100% aware that he'll be possessing his suit. And he isn't dead, at least not fully. Golden Freddy is keeping him alive, though in agony.

Ermm... Actually, Michael Afton and Michael Schmidt are the same person, he just uses his mother's maiden name when he applies for the job at Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria to avoid attention by having the same last name as a local serial killer 🤓🤓🤓🤓

12:24 honestly I agree, it has been so long. Since last he’s seen his brother, lost to that monster. The man behind the slaughter…

8/10 They should've not have wasted William's Afton catch phrase in the first movie. Granted that everyone was aware of it, but a new watcher wouldn't understand it

They let mike live because he didnt do anything to make them hurt him. The people breaking in were damaging the pizzeria, so the animatronics killed them.

I mean, a lot of people think Garret IS in one of the animatronics, just not one that's in this location, which would be why they don't show up in the dream sequences

If you're looking for an actual horror fnaf experience, check out the fnaf vhs videos, they're terrifying. So something of note, Mike Schmitt in the games is actually Mike going back to the pizzerias in an attempt to free his brother's spirit (his intentions is still highly debated). Another thing, the families are inversed. So in the games and books The Afton family has three kids and the Emilys (Afton's business' partner) have one. In the movie Afton has 1 child and the Emilys have three. That's why Mike isn't exactly the same Mike from the games. It wasn't Freddy took Abby to the restaurant, it was Golden Freddy who can teleport for...reasons. The reason Garret isn't in the movie is because he'll most likely be in the next movie. The only dead child associated with a car is the puppet, who also was revealed in the second game. IMO Vanessa and the child custody stuff was lame or just badly handled, but the movie was fun.

I think the original point of the movie was pure fanservice and maybe rebooting the story of the series. Fnaf jumpscares became not scary a long time ago so nobody expected it to be scary and the series was known for it's dark lore rather than gore. Purely for the fans rather than being a good film (also the development hell for the movie). I definitely agree with you with your story criticisms tho.

That transition from Shaggy to Springtrap was smooth

As someone who has experienced trauma decades ago, It NEVER goes away. At least not without some serious help, which most people can’t get here or afford. Also, what is a Matt Patt?

If I could change anything about the movie I would say a couple more jumpscares, be a little bit more horror, but for the fort building scene it shows that the animatronics aren't mindless killing machines, just twisted souls that never really had a chance at living their lives. Would it have been better without it? Possibly but it shoes the nature of them not being killing machines.

Thank you, it's literally what i was saying about the movie fron the second the credits rolled I was genuinely dumbfounded at how many people liked it without a second thought

Instead of a commentary track for the bluray, they should add Markiplier reacting to the movie in the corner.

That transition at the beginning was cold af 🥶

Yeah, that's the number one problem I have with this film....no true scares. The second being little backstory about FNAF/Bite of 87. This film should have taken place 97% of the time at Freddy's and 3% day time. Hopefully they can do better with a sequel.

17:38 that’s William Aftons singnature slogan which you just called dumb

The main reason this movie doesn't follow the games is due to Scott's decision to make it easier for people who've never played a FNAF game to get into it. That way they didn't feel like they were missing much from not playing the games. It's easier to view the movie as a different canon from the FNAF games. Similar to how the books are a different canon than the games. Though I loved the movie, I would've liked more scares. A rated R FNAF would've been great.

I was so disappointed that on Mike's first day, I was waiting for phone guy to call him but instead he watches some old VHS tape. Really let me down :(

The lore part - I think that everyone involved with the story production and Scott himself as well agreed that the movies should exist in their own seperate timeline to the games and books so they only keep some of the more major plot points and characters. As far as the protagonist being Mike, I disagree with the notion that he is "just the fnaf 1 security guard" as even in the actual lore it's implied that Mike Schmidt was possibly Michael Afton. In case of the movies though there are clear hints dropped that Mike isn't just a random security guard given a backstory, but he could possibly be a son of Henry Emily as the events that transpire are very similar to the books, which this movie used as inspiration. William kills Henry's child, who by some small hints dropped in the movie could be the puppet, Henry's relationship goes into turmoil, his wife dies (in the movie I guess she leaves) Henry goes insane with grief, creating a sentient doll animatronic who in this case could possibly be Abby as it would explain her seeing the spirits of the children as she herself is a manifestation of remnant and how she was born while supposedly Henry's marriage was falling apart. The only character I would outwardly question would be Vanessa being William's daughter but it could possibly explain events of Help Wanted and SB further down the movie timeline.

I love your content, man. I've stumbled upon your channel via the people ruin everything series and would constantly binge your work, alongside the videos that covered drama. You got even better with your movie reviews, and in general, had a great evolution in content. While i dont end up binging your work as much because of less free time, i still enjoy it whenever a new video pops up on my homepage. Keep it up, you're dope

Like your wife, I knew nothing about the games prior to watching it and I really enjoyed the movie. I also did a deep dive into the lore afterwards 😂

Pretty much the only criticism of yours that I 100% agree with and yelled "THANK YOU!" at my screen over was "Vanessa sucks but the film wants us to think she's a morally good person for some reason." Vanessa genuinely didn't even need to be in the film. As a character she just doesn't quite fit, and the majority of annoying chatacter tropes (character who knows all the lore about the monster for no reason, character who wont tell you why the heck its dangerous but instead insists on being vague and spooky instead of actually helpful, etc) were used on her. She's a weird hybrid of "exposition giver" and "idk we need a female lead" and just ends up feeling out of place and bringing the flow of the story to a grind. Even presenting her as more morally grey like her actual game counterpart would have justified her character a little more (sequel stuff, maybe) but as she is right now, I just can't stand the "I am 100% capable of helping but I just don't because something something daddy issues." No shade to the actress though, she did a great job and was perfectly cast to mimic the in game Vanessa. Just think the character was utilized poorly

4:27 Remember, the entirety of the script for this movie was either created or signed off on by Scott. Since you didn't play any games past 4 or read any of the books/novels, you might not know it, but Scott has created alternate timelines and continuities for pretty much every new medium. The 3D games (help wanted through ruin)? Different continuity (at least slightly). The novels? Completely different timeline. The goosebumps-style books? Almost all of the short stories are not directly canon, set in a world where names/events are different, but still related to the original story. So the movie having a different story from the games is par for the course for Scott.

I very much enjoyed this movie. The one part that drove me nuts is what happened with the Aunt’s body after they stopped Afton???? She’s just chilling on the floor in his house when they get back. Like, someone is going to look for her and the last place she was known to be is Mike’s house, a man who is known to hate her and is trying to keep custody of his sister. He would be suspect #1. I wish they had instead wrote it as she was knocked out, and when she woke up the next morning they just told her she ate something bad and passed out or something. They kind of just gloss over her death in the scene at the end where they’re eating breakfast lol

So one thing about the movie I think you glossed over is the part about how Mike has the same dream every night and you claimed that it isn't realistic because nobody has the same dream every night. But in the beginning it shows him reading a book about the practice of dreamscaping and shows him listening to forest sounds. He talks to the cop lady about how he uses "familiar sounds" and sleeping pills to help him get to the same dream every night. Those are called dream anchors and also some people use totems. Familiar items and sounds to make the brain more aware and have more control of the dream and it has very real science behind it. As someone who used to practice lucid dreaming I could have any dream I wanted any night I wanted as I was in full control. I did it for years. Your critiques of the mocie are mostly valid, ive never played FNAF and thought the movie was pretty average. It was decent, worth a watch.. but I just wanted to point out that the one particular critique you had about the dream sequences was inaccurate.

I really love the editing on this! I usually listen to your vids while working, but for this one I kept it to actually watch, so I wouldn't miss any funny or cool editing.

"I always come back" is literally a line Afton says from the games...

As a fan of the games, I thought this movie was exactly what it needed to be.

I absolutely can say that they were killed because they were wrecking things. Just like in real life with your home when someone walks into your house and start wrecking things you respond immediately which is what happened with the group. However, the security guard was more like an uninvited house guest who won’t leave. You’ll try to get him out non-violently but if he keeps coming back or won’t leave you’ll eventually escalate things.

Thanks for including that carrot meme. I never seen that one before and it made my day, thanks. (I literally paused the video to type this. I am enjoying your video so far)

I remember watching this in theatres and the majority of the audience were actually teenagers and they surprisingly knew a lot about the lore and were completely geeking out at all the Easter eggs and references. (Kept murmuring to each other when they noticed them.) I was quite shocked never would've thought so many teenagers would've gotten into a game that came out like 9 years ago. It was quite enjoyable seeing how into it they were more than me actually and I've been following the games and lore since it first dropped. They went crazy when they say Matpats cameo but didn't know who Cory was 😅 and even shouted out" WAS THAT THE BITE OF 87 "when Mike's babysitter was chomped by Freddy

A lot of plot holes that are mentioned by many most likely be answered in the second and third movies. Due to the success of the first and Lillard signing something that doses something that leads to a three movie deal so we will see more installments.

1:12 I mean, wasn’t it confirmed by Jason Blum that it was made strictly for the fans tho?

This guy says THE FNAF MOVIE WAS MIIIIIIIID Then he says NOW BUY MY MERCH ANGRY CHILDREN!

My daughter and I watched this together and we both were like “Why didn’t they just stick to the lore?” I mean they could flush it out more. Maybe go back in time when they first created the Pizza joint and then the bite of 87 happened and how it changed Afton. I mean at least it would have been a much better film than this. And yes rated R because they can’t do as much at pg 13. I guess maybe the smaller kids couldn’t see it but it would be a much better horror film that way or at least make it creepier if they are going to keep it pg 13. Just my take

I am not a huge fan, I took my friend to the cinema to watch it together and we pleasantly enjoyed it, my only complaint was that it felt like they played it a bit too safe on the gore and the scares, like holy shit did they hold back on everything which could have worked in this films favor. All in all, I'm just glad that it didn't become a trainwreck.

13:06 im pretty sure the kids were just appearing in mikes dreams so they could act weaker than they actually are and gain his trust so they can take abby

I enjoyed the movie a lot, but i think what i enjoyed most about it is the open questions that we were left with. Theorising is a lot of fun and it made me go down the whole FNAF rabbithole once again. I'm really excited about whats to come, but if i'd just rate the movie itself, it would probably be a 7/10 for me. Lets hope for more horror, all in all i'm pretty excited to see whats next.

8:18 made me laugh way too hard, I had to rewind it 3 times cause it was so good.

As a FNAF fan, it’s a 10/10, BUT as Horror movie fan, it’s a 6.5/10

The whole "you have to be a fan to enjoy it" mentality is BS, because I myself have been a fan since FNAF 1, and I STILL think the movie is incredibly flawed.

I do find it very funny that the bad guy wearing a mask is played by Shaggy Rogers lol it’s like Opposite Day

I thought the movie did its best to appeal to both die-hard fans and FNAF newcomers. I've watched playthroughs of the games and don't consider myself a die-hard, but I don't regret spending the money to see it.
