The iconic Five Nights at Freddy’s game is making its way onto the big screen. You’ve probably heard of the game Five Nights at Freddy’s (FNAF) before, and if not, this new film adaptation might just peak your interest.
Universal Pictures announced that Blumhouse’s Five Nights at Freddy’s will be released on Friday, October 27th. Five Nights at Freddy’s is an iconic indie-horror game. The film adaptation will star actors like Josh Hutcherson, best known for his role in the Hunger Games movies. Another notable actor starring in this film is Matthew Liliard, best known for his roles in Scream (1996) and Scooby-Doo.
The film is about a security guard (Mike) working at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria. While spending his first night on the job, he realizes the late shift at Freddy’s won’t be so easy to make it through. The movie includes more information on how Mike came to be a security guard and his familial details.
The original Five Nights at Freddy’s game was an enjoyable and fun game to play. The story itself is also very interesting. The family tragedy, the idea of murderous animatronics, and so on. Bringing this game onto the big screen is exciting for fans of the FNAF game. Matthew Patrick, a Youtube creator, describes the game as “a delightfully incomplete and mysterious story with just enough threads to keep you guessing.” Markiplier, another Youtube creator, declares FNAF “the scariest game in years.”
The Five Nights at Freddy’s film has gotten many positive comments so far on the “scary-rate” of it. Considering it is a horror, mystery, and thriller, it has been pretty successful in its numbers, with an audience score of 87%. The tomatometer on the film is 30%. Fans of the original game are more likely to find this new film a good watch than non-FNAF fans. However, it never hurts to try something new, go out with friends or family, and enjoy watching a movie.
