In this Five Nights at Freddy's video essay, we're diving headfirst into the polarizing world of the Five Nights at Freddy's movie adaptation. While it's true that this film explores some intriguing themes related to childhood trauma and childhood iconography, it's a challenging experience for anyone who isn't a diehard FNAF fan. Sadly, the fnaf movie is not good.
We'll be discussing the highs and lows of the movie, dissecting why five nights at freddy's falls short of expectations, and pointing out some of the missed opportunities that could have elevated it. From the eerie animatronic characters to the intriguing psychological elements, there's definitely a lot to unpack here. But does it all come together in a satisfying way? This is the fnaf movie explained and the fnaf movie ending explained.
Join us as we take a critical look at the film, examining its storytelling, character development, Josh Hutcherson and Matthew Lillard, and how it handles the deep-rooted lore that fans of the game series have come to love. We'll also explore the reasons why, despite its potential, this adaptation might leave casual moviegoers scratching their heads at the huge problem with five nights at freddy's.
This FNAF movie review isn't about bashing the film but rather providing a balanced perspective on why it may not resonate with a broader audience.

It’s the best movie
I liked the set design but the actual movie was pretty much a disappointment
(pre-text: i've played vicariously thru Markiplier and been really into the lore theorizing with MatPat since this all started plus i never got into the books [just realizing the whole fnaf multiverse is a thing]). i liked the goofy kid fun scene with robots because we've gotten so far away from the issue that those are legit kids. but i could have sworn they wanted Afton, becuase the kid drew a bunny. so the logic and tone-shift threw me way off when they wanted to have abby. ... i still think there are some Afton in the Pizzaria scenes still missing showing how he's able to overpower/threaten the ghost kids and using their love/enjoyement of having a friend to join them. /// Vanessa being afton kid was interesting. and maybe there are more Afton and Emily Family issues in the future. but i thoroughly enjoyed the acting from the non-cameo performers and the tension director was bringing to the story (took a while for me to appreciate Vanessa) . honestly. Scott tells stories poorly. that's why he shifted to books with a co-author. Game dev and character design, very good. narrative, not so good.
@@froggers3690 ur a disapointment >:(
It's your opinion but it's good for me many fans go in theaters you feels the fan service in this movie I wish the second movie are better than this if they make and I wish its rated R18 it's not scary because it's PG-13
Calling the fnaf games a mobile game just hurt my soul😂😂
Haha I'm sorry that was just my first experience with it! 😅
@@FilmSpeak it's okay, I played fnaf 2 on the iPad when it came out cuz I didn't have a computer 🤣
@@FilmSpeak its okay. I mistook fnaf as a mobile game when I first saw it.
The first game wasn’t Mobile but….Cmon. It was a mobile game yk? It could’ve easily been a mobile game
@@deelee5958 the dark timeline of fnaf 😭
The practical effects in this movie is so refreshing in a time where we’ve been bombarded with CGI.
The practical effects were probably the best part of the movie tbh
What CGI?
whyd they look so fake then?
@@MAX-de8fe the costumes? Or what?
Well cgi from cupcake happened
I feel like a lot of people that weren’t fans were expecting it to be somewhat similar to the games. But the games, especially the first three, are a lot more vague, and open to interpretation which is why I think the story went the way it, which didn’t meet a lot of non-fans’ expectations
I just wasn’t expecting a silly SpongeBob-like atmosphere like the one in the movie, could swear FNAF was a horror game, at least the first one
@@Angel-OtkAbsolute fax. The movie is extremely limited by its PG-13 rating. The lore of FNAF is violent and dark. This movie was boring as shit.
@@leonardostefanucci4106 im saying, then you have the people that always describe Scott as this “serious Christian” when he literally makes serial killer games/movies for kids💀
@@leonardostefanucci4106 William actin is like a fictionalizes version of someone like Jeffery dahmer and you had children all exited on the theater whenever he showed up or talked😭💀(the one I went to at least
is it wrong that I've been a fan for 10 yrs and want the move to be adapted solely only fnaf 1 game with mike surviving looking cameras in an office and maybe springlocked scene? i mean i expect second movie to be heavy lore and the first movie to be more thriller adrenaline rush and scarier with minimal lore
I knew most people who didn’t know the lore wouldn’t be able to fully vibe with the movie but as a fan I had plenty of fun with my time with it.
Muh lore
That's awesome! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
If my enjoyment of your movie depends on me being fully aware of years lore, then you’ve failed as a movie. You should be able to do double duty by bringing in new fans and appealing to your existing ones. Movie sucks
It was horrible unaccurate to the game lore idgaf abt the books
@@TalesfromtheshelfNot true at all when the movie was literally created for the fans who’ve played all the games.. they said this when they started filming. It’s only rated bad because people though it was gonna be blood & gore when they advertised it as pg13.
I really liked the practicality of this movie. I thought the cinematography was interesting, the script was fun without being irreverent or feeling cynical. it was a really nice change of pace from most action-heavy movies we get these days, kind of felt like a return to older conventions of filmmaking. regardless of what you thought of this film in particular, I think more movies like this should exist and get at least some hype and theatrical release. I know instead of that, we'll probably just get sequels that fail to recapture those qualities, but I'm still glad this movie exist, and I hope it can be successful.
Me too man me too
The lore of fnaf is already lazily written and not that deep. These fans are saying that the “general audience” doesn’t understand meanwhile every 55 year old boomer on rotten tomatoes basically understood 90% of the plot in like 7 seconds lmaooo- it’s not a good movie because the very thing it’s based on isn’t a good story. For most, It works as a quick lil “”mobile”” game or something for you to obsess over at like 14 for half a month let’s be real- the movies like AT LEAST 4 years late
Yeah the movie is garbage and the people saying they know the lore don’t because this is a bastardization and relies solely on key jangling
I think my main problem with this movie is the same I have with the new Haunted Mansion film. You have an iconic, atmospheric location, and we don't get to just be immersed in it. We are inside, outside, at home, in a diner, at someone else's home, back to the main location, and now we are out again.. It's daytime, nighttime, daytime, nighttime... etc.
The most misunderstood movie of 2023 should have never been advertised as killer robots because thats not what it is
That is so true, such a waste of time
@@redlady1166 no??? This movie was not a waste of time to many people
When I saw the trailers..... that's exactly what I thought.... nothing but killer robots.
@@brentsobie3977 exactly
@@allsparkstudios1299it’s got a 5.6 on IMDb with 10k votes. Thousands of people were really disappointed
I thought the first half hour was actually pretty effective in setting up atmosphere, mystery and tension but then they ruin it all again when they have the animatronics become all friendly with Mike’s sister. That was a huge mistake in my opinion and undermined any potential horror the movie was going for.
I think that scene gets redeemed if they just put it at the beginning. The movie wasn't very scary to begin with but at the very least the tension and stakes should be building up and not going all over the place
I'm under the impression that that scene was meant to make the audience lower their guard a little bit before they ramped up the horror aspect towards the end. A little bit of "aww see they're not so scary" to "oh shit they're trying to kill his sister to make her one of them now and oh damn is that Springtrap manipulating them all along? How are they gonna get out of this now?" kind of thing. But that's just my theory....
@@stephenjacobs5916 It doesn't work because literally the scene right before we see the animatronics kill 4 people
@@stephenjacobs5916 Having Abby play with them is fine but it should feel eerie and like something could go wrong or one of them could snap at any moment. Mike should stay very suspicious and immediately take her away from them again which could then directly lead into the animatronics becoming even more hostile towards him because they see him as a threat who wants to separate them from Abby. The whole “building a fort together” thing with the music and comic relief was too much.
@@NCozy 4 bad guys. And yes I realize the security guard at the beginning probably wasn't a bad guy. But by the time the playful scene comes in so much has happened that you're most likely not really thinking about him.
Die hard FNAF fans are coping so hard screeching "It was made for the fans! Non-fans will hate it!"
Im a fan
I hated it
If youre really a fan yo would see how this is basically a fan film with a budget, nothing but easter eggs and references with 0 substance to hold it all together, not scary, not dark, not funny (enough). People are conflating THEIR EXPERIENCE seeing the movie with their friends/in the theatre with a large crowd which makes it way more fun vs the movie itself which was flat and boring.
Seeing FNAF movie with my friends and taking the piss out of it - 10/10
Seeing FNAF movie - 3/10
I’ve been a fan since February 2015 and tbh I had some issues with it but i still really loved it 🤷♂️
Thank you for this. Your right tho people are using their happiness from watching people like Matt patt n Cory and getting excited at Easter eggs as a reason they feel like the movie is good when in fact none of those things have anything to do with whether the movie is actually good or not
Kinda impressive we actually got a review from someone who isn't a fan who didn't completely tear it to shit
People should've look at it for what it is, instead of burdening the movie with their massive obsession
I think this movie was made for ppl who were already fans of the games and books. So much of the lore is presented in a way to be more of a wink and a nod to fans rather than how traditional horror movies do it. I can completely understand someone who knows nothing about the franchise coming away from this movie just like "Well that was a let down." while those of us who have kept up with the story as it unfolded walked away thinking about how amazing it was to see the beginnings of this horror franchise depicted so faithfully. And yes, I said beginnings. There is still so much lore to cover in the next installments that we could be looking at at least 4 more movies. And that doesn't even cover the new games and books that have and are currently coming out. Honestly, as a fan of the stories and lore of FNAF I'm looking forward to what they give us next.
Definitely not this was more so of the book not the games barley anything about the games lore was in here
@@lesliethomas9532 And where in my comment did I say anything about the lore not being from the books? I said the lore was from both the games and books, which it was. There were elements taken from both and combined to make something new, yet familiar. And yes there was plenty of lore from the games thrown in there. If you didn't see it then I'm sorry you were not paying attention. There was more lore taken from the books, of course, because the books expanded on the lore much more than the games did. But elements of both were most definitely there. As well as some new stuff just to make the movie a bit more distinct as it's own universe.
@@stephenjacobs5916 I’m saying it was more so the books more than anything else the only thing from the games tbh was the characters mike shmidt William Afton and that’s probably it
I'm not here to take away anyone's enjoyment of the movie cause I was happy to see these characters on screen too but...this almost two hour movie couldn't find a way to deliver exposition of just the five kids disappearance in a more speedy fashion? Which is all the movie establishes as it's main plot? Like I'm not surprised people are enjoying the movie but there's so much bias in defending it/attacking the critics for hating it.
I wouldn’t say FNAF is a “mobile game” foremost, yes there are mobile versions but a pc is gonna give you the best experience and allow better gameplay.
I just got back from the movie and it’s honestly exactly what I needed this halloween. I really enjoyed it! Found it predictable but based on the cast announcement and character names it was all pretty obvious. Still had a great time and was spooked in the way I enjoyed and the movie even made me cry! It could’ve been a little tighter but overall I can’t wait to rewatch it and make my own review :)
the dude is bashing a movie based on a game he hasnt even played and is crying its for the fans and not a layman.
his opinion is = to the shit i just flushed
Although I liked most of the movie for what it was, I have to admit that your interpretations of Mike's trauma and the lose of innocence of the children are much better than what we got and would have been really cool to see.
I think the problem with the movie is that there is too many comedic moments and that one of the scenes is like a scene from a family film. The tone shift is the worst thing in the movie.
I could also mention the animatronics having goofy faces which also makes it less mature. There is also the intro that's in minigame form, which makes no sense to a person who doesn't know anything about the series. The kids's death should have been explained in a flashback so that everyone understands what happened.
I can agree with your first part but the second parts eh. The movie was made for fans who waited years, veterans and people who knew the story. Its basicly the reason the games are here, because of the story. And since its the most famous part of the franchise its not unusual for them to expect people to know about it.
@@gaster1636the movie has been sold as it can be for everyone but only children fnaf fans enjoy it
@@gaster1636so you mean it's not designed to be good because us veterans will eat it up because we waited years? that's horrible logic! a movie that can only be enjoyed by fans of the source material and can't stand on it's own isn't really a movie at that point is it
@@royalcass woah woah woah thats not at all what i mean! Im just saying that because it has such a sheer amount of fan service its logical that people who know more about the games lore will enjoy it more. I dont in the slightest mean that its just something wed watch anyway even if its horrible, i watched the movie myself and i enjoyed it and especially the funny easter eggs. Family members who werent fnaf fans before the movie seem to be interested in it now but id understand it more if new people wouldnt appreciate it as much because of the sheer fan service that they wouldnt understand. I hope this cleared some stuff up because I personally loved the movie even with its flaws and dont mean anything bad to it or the og fans
I saw the movie yesterday night, I love it!
Sure the movie isn’t exactly like the games & doesn’t have mad horror, blood n gore & or nightmare-ish moments but for fans who are familiar with the series, it was awesome.
Besides hoping for a sequel, hopefully they’ll hear certain people & up the age rating a bit with more scariness. If they don’t & the 2nd movie is somewhat similar to the 1st then whatever, I’ll take what I can get.
"Ill take what i can get" is the attitude that allows them to make shitty movies like this cus the fanboys eat it up regardless of the quality, the next one will be more of the same because theres no reason to "take risks" and make the movie based on a pretty dark horror series not scary or dark
@@thimbletoe That’s your opinion & choice, besides being a FNAF fan - I love video-game based movies in general.
Yes even the ones that people said were bad like the Ratchet & Clank movie.
@@mariocooper1996 Im a FNAF fan and this movie was a let down, you can keep eating shit but dont tell other people it tastes good
@@thimbletoe Just cause I said I loved it & hope for a sequel doesn’t mean you have to be a toxic ass.
I'm a fan.
This movie was trash.
Let's be honest this movie was always gonna be a FNAF adaptation for the fans before being a horror movie and it honestly does a great job at adapting the games so it's understandable that the general audience wouldn't like it while the fans loved it.
This "for the fans" argument is so weak. Can't they give the fans a good movie?
@@hmon661 It's only weak when the fans don't like it. I'm not even really a fan, nor have I seen the movie yet but I heard from actual fans of the series that they enjoyed the movie. I can appreciate a film doing it's best to appeal to the people looking forward to it the most. Too many movie adaptations of things with big audiences make the mistake nowadays of trying to appeal to an even wider audience and they end up making something relatively sub-par or flat out dissapointing from a fans perspective and very mid-teir and forgettable to a general audience member.
@@hmon661 I agree it may not be a good movie on filmmaking standards but for the "lore" or adaptation standard like I said it does a great job so it is good that the fans actually enjoyed it and it's okay if non fans didn't like it this what movies are about after all some people love certain movies while others doesn't
@seifeldinwael5284 no lol, it didn't. It can't even adapt the games accurately.
@@yinnacle9885 doesn't have to be an exact copy of the game even The last of us didn't do that the point is to have creative changes without going too far from the original and the way I see it the actually did a pretty good job.
I played the games. I thought it was extremely good. Especially knowing Scott Cawthon himself helped work on it. If you play the games he made, it does match his style. One criticism I understand is overall, how does Vanessa know that her dad killed the 5 kids and stuffed them into the animatronics but didn't try to help the police when she became a police officer?
But Scott Cawthon every time with a new FNAF project always leaves more questions than answers but this is a movie. That should have been one of the questions to answer in the movie itself. Matthew Lillard did say he has a 3 film contract for FNAF movies so there is a plan for 3 movies. I'm not going to be surprised they make so much more. So it could be answered more in the sequels but it should have answered it in this movie.
i dislike when people say stuff without research, "fnaf is a mobile game", hmmm yes they invented VR headsets to be connected to your totally very powerful phone!
When he talked about lucid dreaming and observing every detail in an attempt to gain an answer, etc, I felt like the movie was starting to implement some sort of commentary on how we treat lore and Easter eggs and cohesion in stories like FNAF. Maybe it was going to say something about obsession and fixating on something. But I guess I got ahead of myself.
The movie isn’t about the lore.
It’s about the friends made along the way.
As someone who kept up with FNAF from the first 4 games and more or less dropped off from there this SO refreshing to hear. Just from seeing the trailers I wasn't expecting this movie to be remarkable but I wanted good fan service and even from that standpoint it was so unremarkable. Like we get 3 bb jumpscares, cameos from 2 FNAF youtubers, animatronics hinting at other lore/games but we don't even spend a full night feeling like Animatronics are after us. I would have rather this movie be full of fanservice but...like I'm stating the obvious when I say this movie would be nothing without the FNAF IP. The way people are using this of all things of an example critics are just wrong about is just insane to me. Yeah this movie is fun to watch with fellow fans but the blind praise is just nuts.
Yes FNAF lore is deeper and all but this movie is focusing purely on the missing kids, what it was putting down was not hard to pick up and an easy to contain part of FNAF, trapped in an ridiculously boring movie with disappointing fanservice, that is at best hilariously bad. I would be so much more forgiving of the stance "this was truly for the fans" if it was trying to bite more than it could chew in terms of lore.
Well 1.it wasn’t forgettable because the movie being up for 9 years until now, 2. The movie was one of the most money opening weekend in BLUMHOUSE movies ever, 3.Fnaf is not a game mobile, it is a pc that they transferred to the mobile 4. I respect you didn’t like as much the fans did it and that’s okay everyone has different opinions, but I think if you got to get the lore you would understand what’s for the fandome
I'm pretty sure fnaf started out as a pc game and not a mobile game.
It did start as a PC game, then it was added to Mobile & years later on Game Consoles.
Tbh I had a great time watching this movie, I am not a super fan but I am a fan, me and my friends would make our own drawings of animatronics. The movie was great in my eyes, foxy and the cupcake were standing on business the entire film 😂
This confuses me so much. Especially the fact he said it's a mobile game. Aslo, why are some people saying it sucks when they don't even know what it's about.
It's a shame that the fnaf fandom, in their desperation for a movie, is so content with a movie that doesn't capture the suspense of the game at all.
THIS, the atmosphere and content of the games were very dark (minus Security Breach). I don’t know what Scott was thinking…
@@AmokzyyBro how long have you been a FNaF fan💀
@@icethepenguin9013probably longer than you’ve been on earth😂
I disagree, while I of course think the movie has flaws, it also needs a certain amount of understanding. While you don’t need to know the full fnaf lore, it’s important to understand that fnaf is a series that gives you clues to what’s really going on. The things that weren’t explained are thing that we as viewers need to find. It’s always been like that in the games, and I already have seen great theories, some most likely being true. And while it’s advertised as a horror film and this and that, it’s really more so a thriller, but that shouldn’t take away from the movie. The movie in the end, is it’s own cannon from what it seems like, just like how the books are separate from the games but still can give context or clues. This movie does what it wants to with what we know from the games, and turns it into its own story, while yet keeping it faithful. This is why I feel like this film is still accessible for people who haven’t played the games. As long as you understand that there’s more beneath the surface than what was literally explained in the film, than you may have a chance of looking at it different. Although if you think it’s boring, that’s fine, everyone has their taste. But for the movie really being it’s own entity, I feel like the film wasn’t boring, and pretty well thought out using what was given to us through the games and books. I will agree though that the kills were a little lackluster and all of that, but I really wasn’t focusing on that too much myself.
Yeah and plus it wasn't meant for everyone it was just meant for the fans. It has stuff that only fans would understand and im really glad they added The Living Tombstone at the end
I knew this was gonna be a fans movie only. There’s a few casual people who liked it but they’re very few and far. If I had to rate the movie it’s an 8/10 as a movie for the fans 7/10 as a movie on its own.
Fan movie= lazily made movie but with Easter eggs fans will enjoy
"FNAF is a bad movie" 🤓
"FNAF is a good movie"
🍷🗿
at the same time:
"FNAF is so bad, it follow cliches, yappity yap yap 🤓🤓"
"FNAF is badly written but its enjoyable."
I was very underwhelmed and disappointed with the film, I've been a fan since the beginning, I watched hundreds of videos on the lore (got tired of it for the past couple years cause they started getting targeted more towards a younger audience) and I don't get why people are saying "it's for the fans"
as a fan I'm still disappointed, it feels more childish and targeted towards the younger generation of fans when I was going into it hoping for something along the first couple games cause the lore is genuinely dark and disturbing and it seemed like they didnt want to convey it in that way, it was just very goofy and not the vibe I was hoping for from it :/
also just throwing in lore bits and things from the games doesn't mean it's "good" for the fans, the execution of it was just goofy and rushed
although I did like the story bits between Mike and Abby, I thought that was handled pretty well
and the animatronic costumes look fabulous
I feel the same way. I'm not a hardcore fan, I remember avoiding the lore in the beginning because it was essentially just Matpat making up the story based on a few papers from the games. I was more into it for the aesthetic, the creepiness, the designs. I only started getting into lore when it was all set in stone by watching 2 hour youtube videos about everything.
In the movie i was very disappointed that they went with a slasher and not a atmospheric horror or something. I think much more could have been done with the animatronics just standing in the darkness menacingly, their movements and kills and everything are really goofy and I hate it.
I was most disappointed by how they handled William Afton, I always got the impression he was this intelligent, well put together, stoic american family man you would not expect anything bad from but could also be menacing in the right moments. But they made him into a crazy lunatic and it's really goofy.
@@Narko_Marko yeah I love Matthew Lillard and it looked like he was having fun but he kinda just came across as a comical bad guy
I think the first half hour was very good, had great atmosphere and some decent scares but as soon as the animatronics became all friendly with his sister all the horror was just completely gone.
I'm more inclined to say it's mid than sucks outright. I think the real interest for the director is in doing 'grief study' horror like 'The Babadook' or the kind of fare 'Mike Flanagan' is interested in it. As a movie, I think FNAF probably could have used a little more 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2' energy over being subtle and trying to build suspense. In most movies, that kind of build would be welcome but FNAF is jumpier and joltier. If someone is looking for a more energized experience,, I'd recommend 'Intruder' starring Sam Raimi. It has really great suspense, great gore, and absolutely beautiful aesthetic direction. It's also a bit humorous too.
The movie looks good. Yeah. The prop and visual effect department know how to do their part of the movie making progress.
The story and characters go all over the place and make little to no sense. Because movies now a days have a poor writing department.
I wouldn’t say all movies do. Killers of the Flower Moon and Talk To Me were written very well.
honestly love the man's honesty about something he doesn't like without shitting on it and rubbing it in fan's faces.
I didn't start as a mobile game. It was a indie game developed for the PC and as it got popular they made a mobile port
I completely disagree I thought the movie was really good
How do we tell him about the angry birds fandom
I am a fan of fnaf since 2014 and my honest opinion is this movie is so bad I prefer to watch Willys Wonderland , it feelsnothing like the game. The lore was too much. It had, so much potential but it was flop
Listen, it was a bad movie but bad movies can still be enjoyable movies. And I personally thought that the fnaf movie was quite enjoyable even if as a general movie it wasn’t that good. But yeah it is very disappointing that after eight years this is what we get. But I do feel like we have to give Scott some slack because this is his first time ever writing a script and the movies flaws were not entirely his fault. He was stuck being influenced by Blumhouse producers who knew little about Fnaf and its audience. I just don’t think he deserves all the hate that he is getting from fans. Like, if you don’t like the movie, you don’t have to literally send DEATH THREATS to the creator, which is a bit ridiculous. And same goes to people who like the movie disrespecting people who don’t like it. Luckily, I do have hope that Scott will learn from his mistakes and make the second movie better. So please, fnaf fans, don’t give up on the movie trilogy just yet! There’s always a chance for things to get better! You make some mistakes a long the way and you learn from them.
Never played the games but I really enjoyed the movie.
0:29 Fnaf is NOT a kids game, this is one of the biggest misconceptions by non Fnaf fans
Bro even the FNAF "fans" (the fake ones) say that.
fnaf movie shouldnt be labelled as horror, but a fun thriller
Bro was definitely a helmet baby he's one of those people that have to watch 2 videos at a time to pay attention
Because he doesn’t like a movie you like
Bruh fnaf is not a mobile game its a pc game 😭😭😭
haha I've come to realize that. However, my experience with the game was on iPhones, people I knew who played it played it on mobile.
I think the blonde kid actor was really good and hope they get more roles.
An issue I have is that the babysitter girl gets an extremely brutal death just because, I found that unnecessary.
Hot take: I like the book better
That is a hot take bruh
See I’m not mad at the themes being touches because I know about the lore and what’s most likely to come in the next movie (if there is one). I mostly think the changes I would’ve liked was for William afton to have had more scenes prior to him popping up at the very end, and I would’ve preferred something different than a drawing that they used to show the characters who killed them… felt cheap and rushed
I liked that they focused on their own already established audience instead of trying to make it as broad appeal as they could. Not every movie has to be made for everyone.
I don’t see how the movie was more like the books than the games they were more focused on the kid audience
Why could't they make it good along the way, though?
you did not just call fnaf a mobile game
The scene where they start building the fort was a huge fever dream moment where the tension stopped but I think it somehow repaired itself like right after. For me at least lmao
You're still wrong. Multiple people complain "Theres not much gore" or " I thought this was gonna be a horror movie, they aren't hurting them." A one of the things you have to think about is that these are kids and that this scene showed the most fun they've had for years. Also gore was never in the games so idk why people are complaining about it like bruh a person was literally bitten in half
@@icethepenguin9013Wow this is false I hear the same defense for this fort scene saying "there still kids" when in the games they are out for revenge for their killer or in this case kill anyone in the movie since they kill the burglars and there was gore in the games like when Mike gets stuffed, springlock failure, the bite of 83 children getting murdered and a serial killer getting animatronics to capture children to experiment to become immortal
I don’t care what the ignorant naysayers say. I enjoyed the film very much - though I wish it was closer to and more subtle with the original game series’ lore. The games are not about the “jump scares” - it’s the lore which won me over.
Ignorant naysayers=people who like the fnaf movie slightly less than me.
I mean we all knew this movie was gonna be for fans. So, I am not surpised new people don't like it. I am sure Scott and the Blumhouse studios aren't either. They earned more than enough with this movie to make a sequel (R rated HOPEFULLY)
been a fan since the first game dropped and watched ytbers play it. watched all the theories and lore videos by matt and shit but this movie is ass. the fnaf games are scary. the movie was not scary at all. at most the movie was for the newer younger fans and kids 😂

Mobile game?
F.N.A.F.1 is a P.C game that got a mobile and console port.
Yes, I understand that now. My experiences with the game were on the mobile version and I remember that being like a big thing. Apologies.
I thought the movie was okay though it did almost nothing to show off fnafs excellent lore.
I ALWAYS COME BACK!
“Why does this movie exist” …for the fans? Literal that was Scott’s whole goal, a project he wanted to share and wanted to make for his long time fans
Which I can give full props for him!
And besides even if your not a fan of this series the movie isn’t this terrible film that you and others are making it out to be
Is it flawed? Yes. But nothing like headaching “bad” or “boring” It isn’t a forgettable film at all, ask the fans because they most likely going to love this film and keep it afloat!
This film is overall decent and honestly good due to the actual love and effort put into it, you don’t see that either any video games movies. Like the only ones I can think of that were actually good were the two sonic movies and mario movie where generally those films were good or fun films that actually have effort and love put into them, like this fnaf movie
ngl ive been crazy into fnaf since fnaf 4 and i already forgot what happened in this movie☠☠
But what about the people who want to see a good movie.
This movie was literally exactly what it was supposed to be.
YES.
How? No William no Henry no puppet barley any suspende
@@lesliethomas9532it's based off the first game so ofc there's no puppet, though you actually can see the puppet sometimes if you look closely
@@theunchartedwolf8996 the first game and this movie are nothing alike only parallels is that William kills the kids everything else is it’s own thing mike isn’t his kid the children are controlled by drawings Vanessa’s here
@@lesliethomas9532
William was there, Henry wasn't there because they weren't copyimg the game's story exactly. That's a good thing. And it's a FNaF1 adaptation so of course there's no Puppet
I thought the movie was a 7/10. They did what they could to make the movie as detailed as possible. It would’ve been impossible to have the whole thing like the game, it would be repetitive and there would be no kills unless Josh Hutcherson died.
Also, with the lore they worked with, I think it explained the story in a way that was digestible to someone that had never played the games.
8/10 as a movie for the fans. 7/10 as a movie on its own for me.
STOP CALLING IT A MOBILE GAME
As I see it, this was a fun movie, it wasn't good but I did enjoy it. Now I am a hardcore fan but I think, they should have just waited a little longer, but I enjoyed it. Also make it a little more scary.
0:01 that's two questions
really interesting to see the view of someone who's not into fnaf about this movie
personally, the movie was very fun to me, but yeah, ngl, the movie isn't great
for example, he complains about mike's trauma character arch
when in the games, michael afton's character arch basically only exists due to the trauma of his brother's death
thhe movie in my opinion feels more like a re-reading of the game's original story
and i actually like most of the takes on this new story, but the movie most of the time feels like a mess when it comes to it's story
This movie will be better once we get the other two
I don't care what anyone else says about the film I thought it was amazing cause it took things from the book's and game's lore and made it into the movie. Not even that it has so many hidden details and easter eggs not only that they made sparky the dog a literal animatronic. Scott did so good with the movie it was worth the 9 years.
but dc bout what anyone says is just ignorance to how to look at flaws and to improve the quality of movie features in objective sense :/
subjective not objective@@Solirhaps
@@Miragethecat51515 im saying the movie have flaws which can be better objectively not subjectively based on opinions
Uuuuuh fnaf was not a mobile game at first bud, it was on pc.
I watched the movie a few days ago and honestly I have 0 problems and flaws with it. I thought it was a very good movie and I really enjoyed watching it. Would watch it again.
I’m a fan of fang and it’s refreshing to see someone who sees this movie for what it really is. A bland predictable piece of mediocrity with some few interesting ideas that don’t tie in with the story and feel like they could be separate indie films at times.
As a fnaf fan you have said wrong about the game is not the mobile game is also pc game
Its a terrible film.
Horribly done.
It didn't feel like a FNAF themed anything but like a ripoff.
It was a kick in the teeth for fans.
FNAF was never meant for children. The whole series is gruesome about violating things happening to children (bad parenting if you let your kids play these games).
This is just bad honestly.
Plus they've already started changing the storyline and character.
it was so bad man. Knew it was gonna be trash when half the audience at the movie was like 14. Started decent but then it just went south
It didn’t suck it was amazing so if your not a fnaf fan then you wouldn’t understand it plus it was made just for the fans
I don’t mean to be that guy but it’s not a mobile game, I think it’s in the App Store but by that logic Minecraft and deadcells and doom are all moble games
me confused asf on where is elizabeth or anything like and vanessa being aftons daughter? nah nah…
Adaptation like this is what fans of the original source would like to see in the big screen,, seeing the things they know within the game... Glad this one was not made for critics yet everyone likes it..though it could be better ,yes. But for moview that review/critic movies.. thats for sure not gonna like this because they cannot see or feel what its showing to the fans. Resident evil has lots of adaptation yet, not one of them satisfied the majority of the fans.
Im a fan of fnaf i know all the lore and i absolutely hated this movie i literally fell asleep for 1 hour its so bad
Its for the fans thats why it exists, me and my friend absolutely loved it, sure it Wasnt perfect but there was so much love put into it so many references and things in the background as well from the games as well
also not saying everyone should love it either everyones got their opinions
The cinematography is amazing. But, for me I just don't find fnaf scary. I know the lore but just don't find animatronics to be scary, even if they add "angry eyebrows" or red eyes. If the story told in the movie was used in another movie(one without animatronics) it would be pretty good.
40 MIL in one night and a sequel
This film is a movie made essentially by the creator for the fans. Like The Super Mario Movie that came out this year. Or films like Dragon Ball Super: Broly, Pokémon the First Movie, The Hannah Montana Movie & films like that that are made for the fans. As someone that loves the lore, I personally loved this movie!
& also you asked why this film was made.. why is any film made? I hate when people ask that question for films they personally don’t like.
I asked that more as a joke and then clarified, why was it made like this. They had roughly 10 years to get it right and it felt like they just said "ehhh good enough" and gave up. Idk that's just my take. I get a lot of fans dig it tho.
@@FilmSpeak okay I get what you mean now. My bad.
@@masreg all good!
I found the movie boring and cliched as well, and it was a total waste of Mary Stuart Masterson. They couldn’t even give her a satisfying exit. She just gets knocked out (or killed) offscreen and never mentioned again. Such a waste.
I disagree about it being “dumped on streaming,” considering it was also released in theaters and made over $100 million worldwide.
This should have taken Nick Cage from Willy's Wonderland and made a sequel to that movie.
I know the story an played the game an waited 8 years , I definitely enjoyed it
I Loved This Movie To Be Honest It's A Fun Movie In My Opinion
As a big fnaf fan can I just say this: Why the heck was Vanessa in this movie? She should not be there.
This video is cinda True. The movie is only for fans, not for newcomers
The title and franchise behind this film carry it too much
i mean i thought this movie was fun but it was never gonna be amazing its still made alot of money though so we probably get a sequel
Saw the thumbnail, 2 seconds in "Ok Ok Ok" no just no
The lore of FNAF is really not much deep, bit if you want to know mlre from it. Of course you'd understand it much better
You must've never watched Game theory's videos.
Just get over it the movie barley had anything to do with the lore besides William being a killer and mikes last name
Fnaf isnt really a mobile game. It started as a computer game then became mobile and available to all platforms.
No way bro said Fnaf is a mobile game
FNAF ain't a mobile game my guy.
I'm just surprised this movie is reality it could be complete Garbage and I will still watch and enjoy it because it's 10x better than the books
Uh its not a mobile game 🤓
It was released on steam and then mobile ☝️
Well, it was a "fanservice" movie sure. But the execution was far better than Mortal Kombat movie.
Could have sworn fnaf first came out on pc, but ok
