Review of Five Nights at Freddy’s

Adapted from the novel, the film Five Nights at Freddy’s promises a horror-filled surprise. From its trailer, it indeed offers thrilling and interesting elements. This film adaptation brings to life the animatronics from the popular independent video game.

The focal point is a story based on the mystery built in the first installment of this game franchise in 2014.

Brief Synopsis of Five Nights at Freddy’s In this adaptation film by Blumhouse and Universal Pictures, Mike (Josh Hutcherson) is portrayed as searching for a job, and after failing to find one for a long time, he must consider all available alternatives.

His search leads him to Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza, where William Afton (Matthew Lillard) hires him as the night security guard. Despite the restaurant being eerie from being abandoned for decades, the situation worsens when Mike realizes he is not alone there.

Five Nights at Freddy’s is directed by Emma Tammi from a screenplay she co-wrote with the game creator Scott Cawthon and Seth Cuddeback.
In an interview spread on YouTube and social media, Emma Tammi expresses her own fear of animatronics. She mentions that the animatronics, with their large expressive eyes, seem to have personalities of their own. These animatronics are inspired by shows created by Jim Henson.

It is also emphasized that the behind-the-scenes individuals deserve admiration for dedicating their skills to bring these animatronics to life.
The film stars Matthew Lillard (Scream), Josh Hutcherson (The Hunger Games), Piper Rubio (Holly & Ivy), Mary Stuart Masterson (Some Kind of Wonderful), Elizabeth Lail (You), and Kat Conner Sterling (A Week Away).

The rest of the film consists of scenes filled with jump scares and scoring that help surprise the audience.

As for the plot, it is very straightforward and easily predictable. However, for fans of horror, thriller, and mystery films, this movie promises something refreshing, especially after previous months filled with tense entities.
