THE FNAF MOVIE ENDING EXPLAINED... 

20 years!!!!!

Although a lot of people disliked this first movie, I think it did an amazing job in World Building, especially for the Sequel coming up, which makes me incredibly more excited for it.

I hate that people don't like the movie just because of the fort scene. When it's trying to show us (and not tell us verbally until later when Vanessa says it) but it's trying to show that they're kids inside the animatronics. Their souls, their bodies. Everything

Some people were saying it was stupid that a drawing saved the day but to me it was so powerful. Especially since the doctor said earlier how important pictures are to children. As a kid I drew all day everyday and now I’m in college for animation so it made me feel…not useless. That drawings are powerful and can show people things that you can’t tell them. Idk I just loved that in this movie 💖

I love that they showed the humanity of the ghost children, playing, being antagonists but not evil.

Can you explain why my father didn't come home...

Just a side note, I think the production team made a good choice by taking the red eyes out until the very end to show how angry the animatronics were about the truth being revealed to them and how they were lied to for 20 years.

The fort scene confirmed what I always felt. The animatronics only attacked certain people not everyone. It's not a typical wrathful ghost lashing out it's against targets.

Honestly, explaining the FNAF lore to newcomers is really heartwarming.

I think the other value of the fort scene, that I think makes me particularly sad as a writer that people don't like the fort scene, is that it's part of the strong visual storytelling going on. When we first see Abby, she's in a fort in her room, feeling safe with her stuffies. When Abby spends the night at the pizzeria, where is she staying? In a fort in Mike's office, nestled in safe where he can keep an eye on her. It doesn't come out of nowhere, we see the fort again and again throughout the movie. The fort represents a child wanting to feel safe, and the spirits of the kids just want to feel safe with their new friend. It doesn't just make sense because they're kids, it makes sense because it's been intentionally set up *in the film* to mean something. Love your takes here!

It's strange to me that so many people just wanted everything spelled out to them. A lot of the stuff I hear people being confused about was hinted or foreshadowed in previous scenes. With the exception of Golden Freddy. This was great exercise in having the setting and character tell the story just as much as, if not more than, dialogue. So much dialogue was able to be cut because the setting and characters were able to foreshadow so much.

This isn't a theory, but rather a personal story. The movie premiered early here in Hungary (Oct 31). I was in complete silence while watching the movie, because I was shocked. All the details in the background, sound effects, visuals, everything... They put SO MUCH love and care into this. It was clear that the target audience were fnaf fans. Definitely worked, since there were quite a lot of people who were wearing makeup, dressed up like the puppet and security guards. Someone even printed a "bite of 87 Markiplier" and taped it on his head. The theater was extremely thrilled, everyone was excited, laughing and scared at the exact moments. It was an incredible experience, I was waiting for this movie, since I was 10 (18 present). I watched it with my best friend who did some research before hand, but not generally a fnaf fan. She said she loved it. At the credits, when the music box started playing I was in tears, she noticed I was really emotional and hugged me, while I was explaining to her, how much this mattered to me. My entire childhood was affected by this franchise, why i began learning english in the first place and it brought me joy while I didn't had much friends back then. Overall, I'm still a bit emotional and really excited for the future.❤

Dawko, you summed it up perfectly with the kids and the fort. With your telling of how these animatronics are really just kids, the fort scene becomes one of the most powerful. I will never forgive any of the big reviewers on saying that these kind of things are bad or goofy. This movie was incredible in every way as a FNAF fan, and it will always stay that way.

Can I just say, Matthew Lillard, AMAZING performance. He REALLY committed to the role. At first, I didn't see how he would fit in the role, but he's far more talented than I thought, because he made the role his own, without changing the character too much.

Vanessa at the end of the movie is in a perfect position for a fnaf 4 type nightmare situation, having grown up with all the trauma and fear of the animatronics + all the recent events to induce such a nightmare during her coma

I really like everything surrounding William Afton in this movie, everything he says and does, and some of his foreshadowing are SO GOOD. Especially his lines and how they are delivered, like him telling the kids “Look at how small you are!” Is just sociopathic manipulation 101 it’s just all handled really well

I do want to say that the springlock scene was incredible to see happen! To see something that we've only read about/seen play out in 8-Bit happen in live-action was something many have wanted to see ever since FNaF 3. But I have seen a lot of people who are disappointed that Afton didn't scream or go crazy when the springlocks initially activated. However, I found Lillard's acting here to be very realistic, as that's likely how someone would behave when being stabbed in the abdomen like that. Shock, adrenaline, and gasping/gargling noises as you deal with the sudden intrusion/pressure of large pieces of metal piercing your organs. Due to Lillard's portrayal, I think the scene is even more impactful this way than if he had just screamed in pain. It's also very similar to the FNaF 3 minigame. Springlocks go off, Afton stands shaking in shock, and he slowly falls down as his brain/body processes the sudden injuries.

I think Vanessa felt bad for helping her father hide all of the bodies of past victims. (The security guards and people who break in) but she didn't know about the children until later on. But again, out of fear, she listens to her father. Not wanting to end up like his past victims. But when she meets Mike (even before she meets Abby), she tries to save him. She told him he HAD to quit. But when she met Abby, that determination to get him away was doubled but now mainly focused on Abby. Since she grew closer and closer to Mike, learning of his past and now meeting his sister and caring about them both, she finally had enough strength to go against her father and try to end it once and for all.

If Garrett is the puppet, the “come find me” message could be directed towards Mike. I think that would be a pretty cool plot point

2 things I have to say: One, THANK YOU for giving more context for the fort scene. It gets to show that the animatronics aren't just brutal killers haunted by children but ARE still children, and just want someone to play with after 20 years Two, this is a friend's theory, but it's VERY highly believable that Henry could be Mike's dad, except the last name is changed from "Emily" to "Schmidt" in this AU. William couldn't have kidnapped Garrett for no reason, so it's highly likely that he's the version of Charlie in this universe, since William had a personal grudge against Henry, and Garrett would eventually become the Puppet. Plus, there's also the part where Mike says his dad disappeared for an unknown reason. I think either he walked out on the family because he couldn't handle the pressure of losing Garrett, or it might be like the silver eyes trilogy where he offs himself. And one more thing, William pauses when he reads Mike's last name and looks at him with some sort of familiarity, because he already knows he's Henry's son and that he kidnapped and killed Mike's brother. But, we'll just have to see what happens in the 2nd movie and I'm SUPER hyped for it

The idea of the spirits not remembering their killer, Afton influencing the spirits, and even using drawings to make the spirits remember are all details ripped straight out of "The Fourth Closest". Rather surprised they included that plot point. Honestly I think the lore/story was handled pretty well for the most part.

Okay consider, we're shown in the games that when the springlock suits are inactive, they lean to one side. Assuming the suits were made from natural animal materials and there's at least a bit of leaking like the games, it would be reasonable to assume that a bit of decay would occur, particularly on the side slumped inward trapping moisture and stuff.

Don't care how many people disliked certain scenes. The whole film is amazing. I absolutely adore how they portrait the dead kids. I'm exited to develop the theories for that new universe

I always thought the fort scene was wholesome, I legit smiled while they did that. I was fully aware that the four ARE actual kids and how they can finally have someone to play with, so I thought it’s super cute and wholesome. So thanks for saying what some of us wanted to, and hopefully people won’t diss the fort scene anymore.

I actually enjoyed the fort scene and the "animatronics turning good" scenes with the context that, without Abby being there, making it clear that Mike is good. He would have been torn to shreds on the spot, his little sister is the only thing keeping him alive, adding a subtle bit of tension to the scene despite the lack of hostility.

Best theatre experience I have ever had and when the Living Tombstone song came on at the end it put it over the top for me 🔥🔥🔥

At the beginning when Mike plays the tape. I LOVE how the woman said "A magical place where kids and grown ups alike, where fantasy and fun come to life" That's what phone guy said in FNAF 1.

For me, the fnaf movie was the only movie I have ever seen that actually lived up to the hype. I cannot think of a better way they could have made the movie. 10/10

I honestly don't know why some people didn't like the movie, it was amazing

I was pretty confused at the ending, but after doing some research, I learned that apparently that weird part where all the text scrolls down at the end, those are actually names of people who worked on the movie. I think that's a pretty clever Easter Egg for them to put in, but it doesn't appear to have any significance to the story.

I have to say I was not expecting the fort scene, or for them to really even show a soft side to the animatronics. But I think that it was great, and made it easier to understand for newcomers WHY the animatronics are alive in the first place and showed that the lore has a LOT of depth.

The "drawing saving the day" plot actually makes a lot of sense if you read The Silver Eyes trilogy. At the end of the last book, Carlton makes a drawing of Springbonnie killing the kids and tells the kids that Afton is the murderer; just like in the movie.

I think the most goofiest thing about this movie is the pizzaria place suddenly deciding to collapse at the end. The structural integrity of the building wasn't compromised at any point of the movie, because old buildings that have been abandoned for 20 years will not just suddenly collapse like that unless they were poorly built.

William Afton saying his iconic line made sense in the context of the scene, and I don’t like how people keep saying it doesn’t. William was telling everyone that he always comes back, so they should expect him to return. He knew that if the missing children could return through possessing animatronics, then so could he, which is why he put the Spring Bonnie mask back on as he was “dying.” He was embracing his fate and transformation into Springtrap.

I really enjoyed this movie! The only problem I had was the “I always come back” scene. I’ve kept up with fnaf for about 8 years now so of course I recognize this iconic line (I would be upset if they didn’t include it). However I think it came a little fast and almost out of the blue. I would prefer him saying something like “you think this is the end? No.. I always come back”. Just something to build it up more. But that’s the only teeny tiny problem I had with this movie. The rest is an absolute masterpiece!

I get why people didn’t like the fnaf movie, they wanted more scares then story building and hidden meanings. The movie I felt created an atmosphere that was ominous and scary in its self, which fnaf has been going great for years. I enjoyed the fort scene because it gave the animatronics a sliver of humanity and showed us there are still actual children in there somewhere

This was the most fun I’ve had in a theater. So many reactions and gasps, it was so fun. I also kinda like the fort scene, like you said, they’re just kids and if they meet another kid they’re gonna want to play. It’s actually kind of heartbreaking that these kids are stuck in these borderline monstrous bodies but still have the spirit of a kid.

Glad you could explain the purpose of the fort scene! I totally understood why they did that! They're kids, of course they want to play with Abby, of course they want to build a fort! Really good video analysis! I think they confirmed that the second movie is gonna be about the fnaf 2 location

Over 9 years since they announced this project back in 2015. That was when I, was in the 4th grade ! I cannot wait for a sequel although I want them to cook I don’t mind waiting because they absolutely delivered with this everyone who worked on this movie did a phenomenal job.

Intriguing detail, Springbonnie's withering and Golden Freddy's withering are on exact opposite sides of their respective bodies. Springbonnie on his right, Golden Freddy on his left, and equally as intriguing, they both have similar kinds of withered damage, looking almost like burns. Lore reasons aside, this detail does a great job of subtly proving that Golden Freddy's physical suit is a dilapidated Fredbear animatronic (that's either nonfunctional or stuck in suit mode, hence why GF only really appears as a ghostly crumpled mascot), and actually raises an interesting question about this universe's history: What happened with Fredbear's, and why do only the harvest gold characters have this burn damage?

Although it was a massive tone-shift, I really agree with your stance on the scene with Abby playing with the animatronics. It's important to remind the audience that they are still at the same maturity level they were before being killed. Granted, maybe there was a different way of going about this, but honestly it was hilarious all around so I wouldn't change a thing about that. Maybe it'll play into the next film(s) somehow, maybe a shift in tone when introducing other characters that might not be as nice?..

Even though the movie wasn’t for most, us veterans love this a treasure deep down, a truly remarkable masterpiece brought to life and if and when a second movie should come out, I’m all for it.

When people asked why an abandoned place needs a night guard, I had my own answer, but the point you brought up with Afton continuing his spree was a great point. Abandoned locations tend to get broken into and trashed. If the FNAF location was real, that place wouldn't be preserved at all and completely destroyed like the troublesome three attempted to do. Initially I thought keeping it preserved was Afton's trophy or sentimental value to keep as part of his past and not wanting to let go (besides knowing the ghosts existed). I love the first part of the walkthrough of the pizzeria and how old and well preserved it looks in the film. Whether you're there or watching it you really feel like you're sent back to the 80's. If that place had no security or anyone over the years checking on it it be like any other abandoned place in reality. It's like a museum or time capsule I guess. I didn't know people were upset about the Fort scene, but it made perfect sense because from the lore and games you're reminded of the tragedy of souls trapped inside that are literally children. It's like a reoccurring message to the eeriness of it. This seems to come from fans more in favor of a storyline that the souls completely forgot who they were and adapted to the characters they were stuffed in, which isn't the case. But either way the animatronics were built to entertain kids so if they were that advanced without the ghosts it's not unusual still for the Fort scene to make sense.

To be fair, the “I always come back” line would’ve been better at the end of the movie and not during the climax.

I love how Dawko just easily explains almost all of the things critics are wondering about and call "plot holes" or "plot that doesn't make sense", showing that you just need to think a little bit to understand this amazing movie!

I love how William goes, "I always come back" before putting on the mask, that show how smart the guy is and how he knows that the springlock failure will not kill him

After watching this with my friends, I felt like this movie is more based on the silver eyes books while also being original in its own way and I kinda liked it

I know the fort scene has a purpose but it still takes the threat away from the animatronics when you are meant to take them seriously in later scenes, I feel like they could have gone about it in a different way

While the movie has its flaws, it does a lot of things masterfully and gives just the right amount of fan service that we all wanted

My only question is about Golden Freddy. The child representing Golden Freddy seems to be the smartest among the bunch, and probably the only child whose face was pretty clearly discernible. I was surprised that he didn’t know the real story, and also that he could easily move out of the building at will.

I think the movie was amazing! I am crossing my fingers for the sequel! I have no problem with the fort building scene. I feel it only adds to the creepiness later on. My only complaint is that a lot of Vanessa's lines felt weird or slightly out of place. Not in the sense of her hiding things, but rather it felt like she herself was written weirdly. Almost like she is still a child in some ways. Also I have a suspicion with the scene of William reaching out to the Golden Freddy Spirit, that Golden Freddy may just be his son in the movie universe. They do share some similar features. Also also (correct me if I am wrong), if the first night guard was meant to be Markiplier, could the next movie, if it were a prequel, star Markiplier? Might be going crazy but isn't Fritz the fnaf 2 night guard?

I keep seeing people wondering why Springbonnie's suit is withered on one side and not the other, but for me, I just assumed that this suit has been left alone somewhere against a wall and the side resting on said wall is getting moldy and started rotting away while the other side is perfectly fine. I figured as much since Springbonnie has been revealed in the trailer, hope this conclusion of mine makes sense but I'm fairly confident its correct? Anyway what's your thoughts on it.

A lot of people may hate the fort scene but I think that was one of the most hilarious and entertaining scenes especially when Bonnie falls backwards. What a film!!! I’m so happy the it is now finally out after all this time. ❤️

Interesting idea i had, the side of the suit that’s damaged is the same side he holds the knife - so the burned off parts could be where the blood splatter was and he burned it off or cut it off to destroy the evidence.

i absolutely loved the fort building scene, even watching the movie the first time knowing almost nothing about the franchise. all i knew going in was that the suits were haunted by dead kids so i felt like seeing them represented that way was really nice, and i appreciate it even more now that i've really gotten into the lore and have a deeper understanding of what preceded the movie

Not as scary, but it perfectly nailed the story and lore aspect. Another bonus is this movie is for true fans.

Another detail I’m excited to see how they handle in the sequels is with Vanessa: Does she succumb to her father’s manipulations and continue her father’s work as Vanny? Could EASILY redeem how dirty she was done in the actual games…

I loved the fort scene, so much! A lot of people might wonder why it was ever included, because we already knew that the spirits in the Animatronics were kids, but watching them build that fort, seeing how much they loved having a new friend, in Abby, and getting to see them enjoy being kids, after 20 years of being alone, was so heartwarming! This movie had a lot of new eyes, looking at the FNaF franchise for the first time. It's pretty typical for a movie series to have their first movie introduce the main characters, allowing the audience to emotionally attach themselves to the characters, whether it's because an audience member finds a particular character really cool and interesting, or they might feel sympathy for them, or some other reason. I think the FNaF movie made a really great first impression, overall, and I can't wait to see what Scott's plan is for the future! 🐻🐥🐰🦊 Har har.. har har har.. har.. har har..har har!

Honestly i didn't think the movie was scary but that shot of afton in pure suffering before the door slams shut on him was absolutely bone chilling

This was a really good analysis!! As a fan, I understood the movie, but you pointed out a lot of little, deeper details that I didn't initially consider and that really helped the story fall fully into place! Thank you for these Dawko - you always explain things in such a clear yet thorough way! I also agree about Garett possibly being the Puppet, it just seems to make the most sense as of right now! I'm so excited to see what's done for FNAF 2!!! P.S.: Fort scene haters, I'm coming for you, watch your back (jk, your opinions are valid! I personally adore the fort scene though!)

You're always so incredible Dawko, cheers to you for making us happy everyday.

I am 28 years old been following fnaf games since the first one . I absolutely loved this film. I went with my younger brother who knew almsot as much as I did, a friend who knew nothing who watches horror and a friend who knows nothing who doesnt watch horror. And all three had different but no less great reactions. I'm so proud of this team

I wish they had more spingtrap references before he actually shows up at the end. I went with my friend, who's a big fan, and her boyfriend, who knows nothing about fnaf. We had to explain a lot to him afterwards because he did not understand why all of a sudden theres another animatronic suit with an actual guy inside with no foreshadowing at all. It would be cool if they had him walking around in the background like how you see chica walking past the fan when they guys are trashing the place.

I'm assuming that the damage to SpringBonnie has to be related to water damage, as it looks more like black mold! Rats were also in the pizzeria (seen when Mike is in the vents to go save Abby from Chica) and they could've eaten/chewed on the suit, depending on where the suit was stored/located. (Assuming it was stored in the pizzeria as well as the other animatronics like sparky and the weird baby doll one.)

Also I must say thank you Dawko for being willing to take the time to explain to new people in the fanbase, me being in it for so long I’ve known all the lore and it makes sense to me, but it’s definitely great you’re willing and open to discuss the details of the movie for new people!

I’m surprised that people actually didn’t like the fort scene. I thought it was a really amazing way to remind the audience that these really are innocent kids.

I was one of the people that didn't like the fort scene at first, but after hearing this explanation, I understand why that scene was created. Thanks for the explanation!

I actually loved the fort scene❤️ I didn’t know it wasn’t liked by many! But as a 5th grade teacher, you explained everything so well when it comes to drawings and how it helps express who they are. I always encourage my students to draw any time they want to express themselves (whether it’s good or bad 😞) but well done explaining😊

The movie was phenomenal. I hate how much hate is given towards the Fort scene. I think the fort Scene makes so much since for it being in the movie. The fort scene shows that they aren’t just these animatronics that are doing Williams dirty work, but these are still kids. These are kids that hasn’t felt so much joy or happiness in a long time. They feel that joy when Abby comes and it’s been 20 years since they have seen a kid and been able to feel such joy. People really don’t think for certain things and this is one of those things. So glad the fort scene was included.

I really hope the sequel has a bunch of flashback scenes with what it was like for Vanessa growing up and being manipulated by William.

I think one of the most chilling parts about the movie is the fact William wasn’t born a psycho but was rather made one as he still shows emotion for Vanessa this fact alone just shows how wretched broken and messed up he has become he is absolutely crazy and acts like a maniac seing how a guy that supposedly dedicated his life to entertain kids has ended up like that as a person dealing with some stuff too (not too serious) this goes straight through my heart when I realised this the team did a amazing job and I hope more people could realise how truly disturbing the movie was

Watching this i also just realized why William paused when he said Mike Schmitt, because he knew his brother and what he did to him, and then tried to persuade him to be the night guard

I’m pretty sure one side of the suit is withered to represent the fact that William is 2 faced. He has a dark broken twisted side but he also has his father and friend side aka his nice side.

Your interpretation really shows that the plot is so well thought of. Truly incredible. The reason for why this movie is so great is simply the deep understanding it needs the viewer to have for the plot. But once the viewer thinks about it and understands, it makes so much sense. But the story is god damn deep and depressing too. The horror aspect in the movie doesn't really come from the animatronics themselves. What is horrendous is to imagine all of this from their perspective.

One thing they may change in the sequel is who the puppet is. I can see them making Garret be the first victim and the one who possesses the puppet. Maybe hiding his body in the puppet is how william learned about remnant and inspired him to kill more

I can't get enough of this movie Mathew Lillard was perfect as William Afton. IT's so good. I have watched it 4 times now and I kinda wanna watch it again... The ways that they did the lore, the animatronics, the story it was everything I needed... I would pay a lot of money to build a fort with Freddy. I did read that scene a bit differently though. I think it's them trying to get on her good side, trying to fool her into coming back... Golden Freddy wants her soul and she doesn't even hesitate to come back when he comes for her. That, or they really are just there to have fun. I seriously loved that scene so much. There is one tiny bit of a plot hole that is actually a remnant (Hehe) from the games. The idea that he stuffed the kids in the suits to hide the bodies dude. That's like one of the first places I would look as an investigator. Not only that, they were starting to smell badly, like really bad. So like... yeah. How did they not find that?

It seems like the people who hate the fort scene aren’t even aware of the fact that the animatronics are possessed by children, despite the movie already revealing that before the scene. I guess this also reveals who truly is part of the franchise and who’s just a basic newcomer thinking that the movie is always gonna be what they expect it to be.

W to Scott Cawthon for letting these big fnaf creators on set and some even being in the movie/cameos!

Just got back from watching the movie in the cinema, and needless to say I LOVED IT. I was also surprised to see that there are a lot of fans here in our region, and it was really awesome seeing cosplayers in person and it made me wanna try out cosplaying. Waiting to watch this movie in the mall today really opened up some doors for new interests for me (like again, cosplaying) and I'm really happy with how the movie came out, I did see why people didn't see this as scary but I still loved it nonetheless and I did get a bunch of spooks even from the simplest sounds (Like Mike opening a door or something TwT) Overall, this movie is a 10/10 for me as a FNAF fan, and I also hope that they fix most of the problems (that I didn't mind) in this movie for a sequel.

I saw the movie today, I saw the phase "it's me" when Mike was in the security room (where you can see the cameras), that's a huge detail and I loved it

Thank you Dawko for explaining a lot of things that some people won't even realize, I'm going to send this video to a lot of people that are new to the franchise or haven't understood somethings in the movie :)

It’s so nice when he posts every day he always is optimistic and looks forward to his job. Thank you Dawko

going to see the movie again tomorrow actually. i wonder if mike's dad has any dialogue in the movie during the dream scenes, because as far as i recall, he doesn't. that's a bit strange. i'll see if i remember that correctly tomorrow. but yeah, i feel there's more to the family than we've been shown, and i hope that we get some more family background (if it matters) in the next movie.

Just got home from watching FNAF in theaters, and I was quite pleased with it. Looking forward to hearing Dawko's thoughts on all this.

I actually really liked the movie. Mat and Cory were hilarious. The fort scene made me feel really sympathetic for the kids (and I laughed when they dropped things). WAS THAT THE BITE OF '87?!?! The Vanessa twist. Apolitical. Just an overall good film. Maybe not the greatest movie ever, but it was certainly very good. It's the first movie I've bothered to see in a theater since ... Endgame, actually.

Just finished the movie, and I’d give it a 8.9/10, even though it lacked jump scares, and that classic horror film feel,the writing and plot was magnificent!

To be fair, the fort scene might be one of the scariest scenes in terms of emotional dread, since you understand that those kids will NEVER be able to have their childhood, their lives are over and possessing the suits is like looking through a glass at what you could’ve experienced, but never did…

Thank you Dawko for your analysis!! It helped with some questions I had about the film! You summed everything up perfectly!! ❤

About the suit being withered mostly on one side, maybe it's because of the blood splatters from his victims damaging the suit, and him being right handed. Because of the size of the suit, he should throw his right arm forward more to stab them, so the splatters would land mostly there as it becomes more exposed. And blood should be difficult to remove from a fur coated suit like his, so it damaged from removing it.

5:08 I think Afton needed a bit more presence in the movie and I think they needed a bit more of an explanation that they trust him as long as he's in the yellow Bonnie suit.

Happy Halloween Dawko! We just saw the movie and it was GREAT! I think the story was very well done. Thank you for your videos on set. Have a great rest of the night 💙

As a highly sensitive person, Five Nights at Freddy's was the first time I was ever able (or interested) in watching a horror game. I've been a fan since the beginning and I was worried I wouldn't be able to watch the first ever FNAF movie because It'd be too gory for me to handle. Needless to say, I had a bad case of FOMO and felt defeated about being active in its history. Then my brother suggested seeing it with me and I was conflicted about going. Now, I've just seen it in theaters (11/12/23) and I'm so proud of myself for doing so because it allowed me to support the franchise I love and healthily come out of my comfort zone on my own terms. Thank you to all the people who made this movie not too gory so sensitive people like me can see it, too. I felt like this experience is something relatable that many people like me are too self-conscious to share so I'm being a braver me today and posting this here to validate those like me who are too sensitive for scary movies but fell in love with this franchise regardless. PS- This Dawko video inspired me to actually post this where others could see it because I know him and his community are nice.

I definitely think the Puppet is going to have a massive role in the second movie. They're are apparently several scenes in the movie where the Puppet is scene in the background, one of them I know is true because I saw it myself, its in the scene where Mike first looks at the animatronics. When he looks at Chica, the Puppet's silhouette & eyes can be scene on the right of the screen. I took a screenshot of it & brightened it up and it was quite obvious. I also do believe that Garret will be the Puppet.

Not gonna lie the movie was a 10/10, especially the springlock scene and him getting dragged away

I’ve thought that the “come find me” at the end is a message that William somehow sent to Michael Afton because in sister location Michael ends his monologue with “I am going to come find you” setting up that Michael was the player character in fnaf 3

the fact that not only this is blumhouses biggest opening for any film theyve made but also the biggest video game movie opening is mindblowing

Personally, the fort scene was my fav, cause like you said, the animatronics are just kids. I’ve always saw them that was cause of my interest in the lore, and it was pretty cool to see the animatronics actually act in a different way to what we usually see them

I really liked the movie. My only two minor complaints with this movie are: Vanessa’s background: Sure, William is her father and he forced her, but my questions are why and how? I did remember that William said something about finishing a mess she created. Is that a possible hint to the next movie? Garrett’s end: I also thought the plot with Garrett felt a bit anti climatic, but I guess I kind of expected that Mike would encounter him in an animatronic form or spirit. However, he does seem to be at peace with his past so maybe that’s enough. But Fnaf is known for it’s mysteries and alot we had to solve through analyzing which what it makes it so great. I’m really looking forward to another movie.
