i can't even say how much i loved this movie. the plot was amazing! the way you built atmosphere was fantastic! and at the end you showed Mike speaking to his little brother so he could finally forgive himself! i was so excited for the fnaf movie that has to come out this year, but i don't think it's gonna be beter than this, thank you so much!
there is only one way to find out that the Five Nights at Freddy's movie will be better than this is to actually watch it and this with your own eyes, then compare the two, until then, no assuming is required, it is merely futile.
I'm glad that fans of FNAF still continue doing very impressive things like this film. It was great, and I want to say a big thanks to authors. Hope you will have a good day!
@@ree2b obvioustly you could spot some mistakes and errors, but if you keep in mind that they are really really dedicated fans that just wanted a fnaf movie, its actually really impressive
Golden Freddie’s scenes genuinely sent a shiver down my spine. To be fair, he was always the scariest. A metal cage, containing the flesh of a dead child, slumped in your corner, watching you suffer with dead eyes.
@@cawsomeaolin And that’s the problem I have with the fans. What’s the point of always dehumanizing dead children for the sake of it? No, Golden Freddy is not a god. He doesn’t solo the whole FNAF universe or whatever. FNAF isn’t a story about power, and I don’t see why people still got arguments over it. GF is a kid around 4-8yo, there may even be 2 kids sharing the suit based on the Fazbear Frights, who was brutally killed and shoved into a literal machine. He can barely twitch, and is always in pain. And no again, he didn’t create William a personal hell. It was proven to be a prolonged nightmare in William’s coma.
In the 8 years of Fnaf, this is a perfect example of deadicated fans of the franchise. While Fnaf had its rocky moments throughout the years, it still stands as my favorite franchise. I can tell that the budget for this was pretty big, considering all the props and effort put into the details in the movie. This movie is amazing, and judging by the looks of the ending, I'm guessing you're maybe gonna release another one? Either way, this movie is amazing. I bet if Scott himself watched this movie, he'd be impressed. 😀👍
All the props and effort put into the details in the movie. By the looks of the ending, Im guessing your maybe gonna release another one? This movie is amazing . I bet if Scott himself watched this movie , he'd be impressed.
This is clearly done by professionals. I find it funny that the fans have made a full-length film, with quality storytelling and acting, with obviously a lower budget than any Hollywood or Universal film, and they made it quicker than the actual studio making the movie. Well fricken done. This is one of those movies i wish i had to pay to see.
And now watching the official film, I can say that despite the high quality of the film, the production and everything, this fan film manages to be much better than the official film itself. This fan film manages to be much more immersive, has a much better plot and manages to be much more accurate to the games in terms of adapting the gameplay, something that the official film didn't even try to do, placing the security room as a tiny room and not having metal doors, Michael from the movie sleeping all the time instead of keeping an eye on the animatronics like in the games, in addition to the pizzeria not giving the claustrophobic feeling of the pizzeria in the game. This fan film perfectly adapted the gameplay of the game in an interesting way for a film, while an interesting mystery plot takes place. Yes, this fan film left most of the things about William Afton or Henry Emily a mystery, but then again, what would Fnaf be without its mysteries and implied things?
@@Ben-zg8xk in which fnaf game you build forts with the animatronics and shoot them with tasers, uh I liked the official movie, but your own logic is very flawed
@@isabelortiz1230 you schock them in sister location it I’ll give you the fort, but game accuracy isn’t everything anyway. Most things from the games wouldn’t translate well to a movie, if the movie had the double doors like the games it would be incredibly stupid. The fnaf movie was good. Cope
The fact that someone not only made a fnaf fanfilm that has the running length of an actual full-length movie is really, REALLY commendable. I give my kudos to you and the people responsible for bringing this film into fruition. May you be able to achieve such greater lengths in the near future.
I don't understand. They not only made a FNAF fan film that has the running length of a movie, but what? I think you're missing a part of your comment or the "not only" part needs to be removed
The original horror flame of FNAF was relit with this one. Some jump scares actually got me and the story, while corny, communicated the spirit of FNAF and the emotion I imagine it would’ve been like.
1:05:14 This is genuinely one of the most haunting and realistic screams I have ever heard. I have full body chills and I am very disturbed. How did they even pull that off so well..
I love your version of Michael Afton! It's good to see that dedicated fans are still here to keep the franchise alive and entertaining for everyone. Thank you to the team, this was so fun to watch :)
Same here! Micheal in the games’ seems like he is on talking terms with William. So I love that you see that here! Especially since it seems he does it to get validation from his father. Just all in all good stuff. But, this film had a lot of passion in it. You definitely could see it 💕
Writing and acting are a bit rough around the edges, but HOLY SHIT this is fantastic! This is honestly the exact format I would love to see the actual movie take. It's clear this was a huge passion project for you guys. Amazing work!
The fact that someone was able to make a full feature length film about five nights at Freddy’s is awesome. And the fact that they did it before an official movie came out is even better maybe if this does well enough, it’ll finally motivate an official Fnaf movie to be made.
Didn't they like try to film it three times already just for Scott to throw the whole script and rewriting everything? Although I gotta say that I don't think that this is necessarily bad since apparently Scott has had a hard time adapting the story into a movie
@@dadodadokowski9108 yeah there’s been multiple scripts and tries at filming it but the one that’s in production atm is definitely going ahead im pretty sure because the cast has been announced
I'm here to put my two cents in too. While I enjoyed the official movie, I think this one has much better pacing. Maybe there's not enough action for a cinematic experience, but the way the mystery builds up to the reveal is actually really good. I especially prefer Mike having to figure everything out himself instead of Vanessa or Abby just telling him. There's also the scene of Mike checking the cameras which were very underutilized in the movie. And as amazing as the reveal of William was in the official movie, I think this version of him is scarrier because he doesn't act over-the-top. Even though we have the official movie now, I'll always appreciate this one.
After finishing the movie I have to say this was a wonderfully made film full of callbacks to lore, great music, atmosphere, sound effects, costuming and set choices,and even down to some explanations we didn’t receive in the games themselves! Being a part of the journey for this entire film was such an amazing experience and an honor to be a part of, here’s to more from the great Ex blue!
@@shameekawiggins8291 Johnathan was saved from the safe room near the end and recovered, and Golden Freddy openly said he was Evan so I’d assume he’s Evan.
Man, MASSIVE props to whoever did the screams at the Night 4 tape. Like the "AAAHHHHHH!!!! NO! NO LET ME GO!" part seems so legit, like if it was an actual person in that exact situation, usually in horror movies people's screams don't really seem very real but THIS one, hoolyy dang.
@@olavored1733 the femur breaker is an audio of the horror game scp containment breach, it's a verry loud and creepy audio, search it on YT and you'll find it but just in case I got it here for ya, but remember it is VERRY LOUD AND CREEPY viewer discretion is advised m.ua-cam.com/video/08L9sNuik5M/v-deo.html
enjoy having watched it with your mom. you're probably young, under 12, i was around the same I when i forced my parents to watch some kind of minecraft "movie" i found online, which ended up being a bunch of machinima animations. I still feel bad for them for wasting their time on sub-par content and at the same time grateful they put up with it for my naive mind. You'll definitively be the same, the realization could come next week or in 2 years, but you won't forget the memory, and not positively
@@NovaTedd lol I'm 16 but I've enjoyed fnaf since it first came out when I was young and have always made my mom watch/play the games with me. of course I also feel bad for wasting their time but my mom swears they enjoy the game just as much as I do. it was nice to be able to expiernace the joy with them that's for sure
@@kapkan6930 Okay but the fact that it's THIS good without one is bloody amazing! Imagine if this released in theaters, like IMAX, or theaters with Dynamic Box seats
This was a low budget fan film and it was amazing. The acting, the story plot, the whole atmosphere. I loved all of it. I can’t imagine what you guys could do with an even bigger budget. 😯
this is such a fantastic fan film! I've been looking forward to this since it was announced, and it did not disappoint. The story was great, and i loved seeing your guys spin on things, like the training tapes mixed with the voice messages from Johnathan, and the mini-game nightmares were such a clever way to incorporate those parts of the games. This movie also surprisingly creeped me out in many places! There's so many stand out scenes to me, like foxy slowly leaning toward mike under the desk, Golden Freddy sitting in the corner of Mike's bedroom, the scene where Mike flips the tables and finds the hidden room. Or seeing Golden Freddy in at Evan's grave. I especially love how you guys portrayed William Afton. If I'm being honest, in the games William has become a bit of a joke and not the creepy killer he used to be, but this movie captures that creepy factor again! the whole car park scene was so cool! William just being creepyily in the background watching Mike was so unsettling, and when he confesses his murders to Mike and tells him to leave before he kills him again was really unnerving! Johnathan's screams on the night 4 tape were so realistic and gut wrenching, definitely the best piece of acting in the movie. Some areas could have been better, like i feel that the news report at the start was a bit of an info dump and didn't flow too great in my opinion. The editing in some areas as well could have been done better. But don't get me wrong, the positives MASSIVELY outweigh the negatives! I can tell you guys are passionate about your work, and overall this was just a fun creepy FNaF experience. Excellent work guys👌
I’m pretty sure the editing on where it is glitchy is intentional, but if not then the problem of not getting the movie out in time helped in some sort of weird and fantastic way Hope that made sense
@@IwaneTheOne Then why would you bother saying that? If you're not gonna read it then just don't read it. Why bother going out of your way to just say you are not going to do something? It's like when people reply to something by saying "Idk." There's no value in it.
the fnaf fan movie on budget has so much better and more canon writing than the actual, official, fnaf movie that was also written by the Scott Cawthon himself, i think that says alot about the current fnaf franchise
Honestly yeah, if this got a bigger budget, you could do so much more, better acting, better cinematography, technical stuff like sound. While the OST for the official FNAF movie is pretty good, this movie's OST fits a lot more for me. The ambience + grunge rock-ish songs feel era- appropriate and also fit with Micheal Afton's personality and character and the general world of FNAF imo.
If I'm being honest, I really love Michael's descent into madness as he tries to find the lore, just like a certain youtuber that I think we should all know who's name starts with M and ends with atPat.
57:00 if you take away the context that this is supposed to be a place from a horror game, this actually looks like a pretty good place to have birthday parties
Actual Movie: custody sideplot that goes nowhere. Dream sequences with ghost children Fan movie: actual adaptation of the game and lore You love to see it.
actual movie: insane expensive tech, beautiful set, great for the fans This movie: scenes that are stupid and don’t make sense, crap looking animatronics, crap set, caters to the fans a bit.
Great film. I loved to see the shared experiences of Mike and Jonathan through the tapes, saying the same things without ever knowing it. This was an amazing movie.
(SPOILERS) 1:26:42 God I love this reference to the "bad odor" reason for being fired in the original game. It was so freakin' funny and I burst into laughing at this point, it's funny on it's own but 10x so when you get the reference. Incredible performance; with much higher production quality, acting, and storytelling than I was expecting from a fan movie like this.
This gets me so hyped for the official movie. The atmosphere, the backstory and the animatronics too. I CANNOT WAIT Not to mention how amazing this film itself is. Love it.
@@harold3165i have faith in scott. Its been almost a decade since the first movie got announced at WB, so i have faith in the script, and that it will be the best video game adaptation ever put to film.
I would rather pay double the price of official fnaf movie ticket, just to watch the remaster of this movie with higher budget on my pc, than to watch the official fnaf movie in theater for free
This awesome film needs A LOT MORE RECOGNITION. So much passion and work went into this AND ITS ALL FREE TO WATCH! I hope this feature length film gets the attention it deserves.
51:29 actually my favorite part in this entire movie. its just a really good scene. everything from the writing to the delivery is just wonderful. specifically the "either you, my dad" line
I'm gonna be completely honest, that is probably one of the best fan films I've seen. The fact the you showed all of the lore within the nights definitely helps anyone who doesn't know much about the lore, understand it. And Judging by the post credits scene, im guessing were getting a FNAF 3 movie aswell? Who knows!
I think they are making a Fnaf 3 set for a future video so it could be possible that once they make that video they might use the set to make another movie.
I watched the fnaf movie yesterday and I can 100% say that this movie is way better just the fact that the aesthetic are better and scarier is a big plus
For a fan project it's amazing even if the editing isn't perfect the story makes it better and I can only hope that the actual fnaf movie is as good as this one. Truly a masterpiece.
Even though it's only a fan creation, it's extremely elaborate! I absolutely adore how perfectly you were able to replicate the restaurant and the animatronics! That's an incredible amount of work and effort! Thanks!
Its been so long (living tombstone reference unintended) since i had this movie on wait, taking space on my tab, and now that i finally seen it, its fantastic. Even though the acting isn't pro actors quality, dialogues and emotions were great. Such a rollercoaster of feels, from suspense, horror, and those funny moments with the tapes. I mostly loved how well incorporated was the lore from the games. Michael almost using his real surname, the last nightguard replacing phone guy, but Mike just casually saying phone guys lines when picking the phone, golden freddys alusinations, mike actually being dead but somehow is still alive. And the last scene giving it a "may continue" vibe. Loved it
It was really impressive given your little pool of resources! Well done to everyone who helped create a lovely fan film for all us FNAF nerds ❤ Again so sorry you had to deal with the corrupt files and delayed primer, but it was worth the wait! ✨🐤🦊🐰🐻✨
I just found this movie at 6 am this morning.I just want to say amazing film and it’s sad that this doesn’t have more likes and views.I honestly thought FNaFs fandom was dying because of the lack of videos and posts on multiple social media sites.I’m glad to see it’s still going.Thanks Ex Blue and Scott for all you’ve done for the fans.
@@MrH.09 according to the information I saw he was heavily involved in the early stages in approving scripts. Do you have any more recent news I could look at?
This was such a great project! And the scene with Foxy staring down Mike was genuinely creepy - loved it! Also, awesome job at getting a really solid 90s film feel to it given the era it's set in. :)
The ending legitimately had me tearing up- this is amazing! You can really feel the passion for the series put into this. All fan made, presumably without a big budget, too. Super impressive.
1:20:47 dang William actually was pretty terrifying as antagonist plus the speech on the killing someone is so memorable to me I can’t get it out of my head whoever played him good props to you the line was delivered well and the acting was chilling
Y’all should be proud of yourselves. Over all, this is BRILLIANT for first time filmmakers. If you enjoyed it, you should definitely make more. Maybe even a Narrative-style web series!
This was a damn good fan film The production was solid, I was very invested in Mike’s story, and I love that this wasn’t afraid to be honest about the absurdity in some of the games. 8/10
I am just sitting here, with my jaw on the floor, geeking out... I loved every single thing about this movie. Genuinely thank you for making this. You bet I'll be rewatching it. Can't wait to find and analyze every single detail!
Just gave this a rewatch, and even though I think I already left a comment here, I'm pretty sure I finally figured out what makes this film in my opinion so much better than the official film: it has an actual vision and style, it isnt just a hodgepodge of random ideas. It isnt afraid to experiment and try things out or work with weird ideas, and when it does, it handles it with the correct amount of tact in order to keep it serious but highlight how, at its very core, FNAF is a pretty goofy story. Yet despite that, it manages to contain actual solid and relatable emotions with an ending of self-forgiveness. I read a comment here that this film reminded them of a Puppet Combo game, and I really love that comparison; from the chilling OST to the film grain (even if unintentional due to the corrupted footage), it feels like an old indie film made in the 90s, and I mean that in the best way. Really also gets the lore just right, tying in to the games nicely while still working as a fairly grounded surface level and self-contained story. The official movie, if you ask me, felt too clean, too bland and sterilized, especially in its lack of moral ambiguity and also lack of commitment to any real style other than generic shots and camera angles. It also relied too heavily on fan service, while this film has little to none that doesnt serve the plot in any manner. This just told the story of a fucked up nightguard dealing with unraveling trauma and having to INVESTIGATE (not get lore-dumped by a random cop) and SURVIVE (yes, not sleep, like he did in the official movie) five nights at the place where his traumas were born and lie dormant, waiting for him to confront them, while also leaving room to expand upon for possible sequels; exactly what the official film SHOULD'VE been like. This film aint perfect, but imo it will remain the best actual FNAF film that really exists and can be watched, start to finish, and I will always appreciate it for existing, even if you guys never make a sequel (which you confirmed you wouldn't, I watched all the behind the scenes and Q&A stuff too!)
I heavily disagree with everything you said. I loved the look of the real movie.I also loved the story of the real movie because it was trying to be different from the games.
@garrettmurphy2447 I don't have an issue with the movie trying to be different from the game's lore, not at all, but it felt to me the official movie just took the cliffnotes of the games/books lore and put it in without any of the depth it originally had. For example, springlocks in the games are treated as a thing that make logical sense but can, under rare circumstances, go extremely wrong. In the official movie, however, they are just a torture device made by Afton (and an inconsistent one at that. Why can Vanessa activate the springlocks of the Ella doll with just a broom but William Afton, in a suit of springlocks, can push, kick, and get shot by a bullet without it going off?) In the BTS of the official movie, before it came out, one of the actual cinematographers said they wanted the film to feel like the Shining, and I would've loved that. "We wanted Freddy's to feel like the Overlook Hotel of pizzerias." Awesome. Problem is none of that is present in the cinematography; Stanley Kubrick used intense and unorthodox shots to highlight the surreal nature of the events, sprinkling in cryptic messages all throughout. Furniture would move slightly in between shots with no explainable meaning. The official movie, however, in my opinion, only has a few shots that stand out to me. Sure, there's references and fan service, which I definitely enjoyed, but that alone doesn't hold up a film, at least for me. I appreciate Scott Cawthon's work, but I honestly feel like he played it too safe for movie, trying to appeal to everyone, which in turn made it stand out less, something the classic games never struggled with. I'm not gonna say there was no passion or love behind the real movie, because Scott was behind it and I know he cares about this franchise; it just felt muddied to me is all, without a clear vision because Scott wanted to appeal to every single type of fan. Unfortunately for me, I wasn't one of those types, or maybe I was supposed to be, but it just didn't work for me. And I was loving the trailers for the official movie as well! The premise sounded solid, the cast was loaded, but I just think Scott played it too safe. Personally, I prefer a slightly technically weaker film that has a clear, unique vision and dedicates itself to it rather than a bigger budget film that's unsure of what it wants to be or adapt. I don't want to dissuade your argument or anything, we may never agree, but I've been thinking long and hard about this and I have a lot to say about it. I'm sure Scott will come into his own with the sequel films, and he'll find exactly what he wants to do and where he wants to take the franchise, I just may no longer be interested in it if it takes a direction I don't care for, and that's totally fine. Wow this was long, sorry for dumping like 5 paragraphs on you lol
Thank you for watching our movie with some nuance. Night Five is by no means perfect (I don’t think it’s even that good after a year and a half of reflection), but comments like these make everything we went through to get it done worth it. I’m so glad you liked what we did. Also, just for the record, the film grain aesthetic was always the plan! The missing frames was just something we had to put up with. If you want more info on the BTS and making of the movie, I put out a video on my channel talking about it a few months back (not sure if that’s what you meant by “the Q&A stuff”)
@@GamerSketch Yep, I watched that Q&A video, plus the movie commentary (I could never forget "His chin looks like a ballsack"). To be honest I'd never heard of the Ex Blue channel before this, but I do love watching passionate indie films on UA-cam, so when UA-cam recommended me a full-length fan film of a franchise I've been a part of for nearly a decade I was very curious, and I definitely wasn't disappointed, though I did have my issues with the film past the technical issues and the visual effects on the animatronics. Watching the official movie 3 months ago has really gotten me back into thinking about this franchise, and it really disappointed me with its lack of any clear vision, and I like to occassionally rewatch segments of Night Five when it pops back in my recommended every once in a while and say "Damn, if only the official movie was more like this." Like I said, I don't think Night Five is a perfect film, but the effort and care for this franchise really shine through in this project, at least it did for me, and the ending is seriously solid. To see creators who have similar opinions and visions for this goofy franchise as I do actually come together and make something is just awesome to see. I have a feeling if you guys were given a chance at a redo and granted the keys to make an official FNAF movie with Blumhouse's budget and production, maybe even alongside Scott, it could seriously be truly amazing. Either way I'd definitely love to see more filmmaking from you guys in general, even if it isn't FNAF related or even on this channel.
@@ExtraQuestionableContent Hey man, I don’t think it’s perfect either. I’m just glad you can enjoy it on its merits as a messy but halfway decent earnest attempt at a cool idea. 😎
I love this, I love how they explained the entire backstory in a seamless way and how they explain the power during nights. It's all made great and I love fans still make these hoping Scott can actually look and see them and maybe even be able to piece together lore that we never guaranteed to be Canon. Keep it up because this was absolutely amazing
Although the lighting, camera angles, framerate, etc. may not be perfect, it is still DAMN good for such a small team and a low budget. The story and acting are honestly pretty good, and it's crazy the amount of passion you had to literally create this entire set and make an entire movie. You are by far the best FNAF IRL youtuber of all time. Keep on rocking and making masterpieces like this!
I don’t even know how to put this into words- this is absolutely incredible! a full-length film made by fans, it’s awesome amazing job to everyone who worked on this and made this possible, I just don’t know what to say, this is just incredible ^^ The story is so well made and portrayed, the “interactions” between Mike and Jonathan despite never knowing each other was cool, and the general setting, aura, vhs tape style stuff, and everything about this is just perfect
I honestly feel like Henry Emily knows about the murders of Freddy fazbear’s pizza, he just keeps silent because he doesn’t wanna lose his business and is just still grieving Charlotte’s death.
So much detail and passion was put into this film. It was fantastic.The foxy lights out part gave me the creeps. I just got a higher expectations for the real fnaf movie. Great job guys
Wow, just wow. I just finished watching the whole thing and I enjoy every minute of it, everything was so well done. The acting, props, sets, and costumes are great. One of my favorite parts about this film is the sound design. The footsteps got me to jump more then a few times, and the music perfectly fit the early 90s ascetic and the overall tone of the film, Michaels character was great here and genuinely got me invested in the story and world. You guys did an amazing job with this, I cant wait to see what you all do next.
The thing that this movie shows is that not every is good, everyone has a bit of bad/ evil apart from Mike. Henry known what happen and covered it up, made Mike look like that bad guy. This was an amazing movie the acting was out if this world, can't wait to see if they'll do another movie
I,m just gonna say... this film is reay great. Props to you ex blue and studio 64. I am a proud owner of a local film company, but i always let my budget get the best of me... i am a huge fnaf fan i would've died to make this.
I really did enjoy the movie. I like how it captured many of the main points from the lore while also putting its own twist on it. I also liked how Michael was actually given a motive to work at Freddy’s, and I enjoyed how his goal for saving Jonathan was expanded on and even included original characters. The story wasn’t just a night guard working at Freddy’s, but a man motivated to work at Freddy’s to right his past mistakes and give closure to himself and others.
This was actually amazing for a fanmade film with little experience, keep up the good work guys, with stuff like this who knows maybe you'll get to work with Scott!
@@astralfrog no he still owns everything. He just gave Steel Wool the rights to make the games. He’ll still be behind the scenes, but he’s retired nonetheless
Watched this in the leadup to the official FNAF movie, and man, Blumhouse is gonna have a hard time topping this. While there were some things that went a little over under (won't spoil) the dynamic between Michael and Evan was portrayed so well that the ending nearly had me in tears. Bravo guys, you deserve a lot more attention than you got on this.
I've always been a fan of vengeful c.c aus, but the way you guys did Michael's atonement, I absolutely love. Especially when Evan didn't need or have to forgive him, but in the end Evan made that choice and knew Mike was trying to help. You don't have a lot of actual characters that do atonement. And I also really love the little "Hi Mike" my heart 😭❤️
I think it’s because it really complemented the first game in the uncanny valley. Like even though the costumes weren’t all that they actually look very lifeless
I absolutely LOVE this. Everything about it is just… amazing. Something about some of the cheesiness in some of the scenes really makes it, adds to the vibes of the story and fits in well within the FNAF franchise. This was clearly made with a LOT of love and devotion and it deserves A LOT of praise and recognition. Fantastic work everyone. I love all of the pieces of the franchise coming together, all of the little references but combined with your own twists really sealed it. Ahhh! ❤
What an absolute achievement from you all! I can't begin to guess how many hours of love, sweat, and tears went into the overall production of this movie (even after the set was already built!). You excelled at capturing the tension of the original FNAF while combining aspects of the others, and the nod to both FNAF 2 and 3 has me excited for possible future projects! I know you had setback along the way, but you all should be so SO proud of what you've made together- it is a honour to the FNAF fandom!
I was so impressed at the scene (46:35) where Michael got stuck looking at the video tape in the office and it pans to his face and you can see the light from the video playing across his face while the music creepily slows down and then BOOM. That was a super cool detail!! Amazing guys thank you for your hard work!!
Everyone's talking about the fact that there's finally a movie.. I just want to talk about how great the story was, the actors, lore, set, props, and everything! I LOVE how the film turned out! I was crying happy tears at the end when John was saved and Mike was able to talk to Evan. It was just so sweet and heartwarming and LSBFELBSKGRNQIQPRLVPLWNEOCNSOING! Also, I love how real you guys made this film and it really went back in time to make it feel old and it was just so cool!
it gives really good 1990 movie vibes, like it was actually made in 1990. i dont know if that was their intentions but its cool and nostalgic either way!
This is an absolutely perfect fan adaptation of Five Nights at Freddys. This film was insane! The set as a whole is unbelievable and captures the FNaF 1 Location so well!! I loved the acting and the characters! Be proud of this great movie you all have created!
This is absolutely astonishing, the fact that more people aren’t freaking out about it this is almost outrageous. I’ve been a part of this fandom since 5th grade and honestly I never really wanted there to be a Fnaf movie. I thought there was no way a movie could capture what made Fnaf special. But… lo and behold. You guys did an incredible job. This makes me actually excited to see the official Fnaf movie, and it also makes me so, so happy that such dedicated, creative, talented individuals have found a home in the Fnaf fandom. The dedication and faithfulness in this movie is just remarkable.
@@rhysmarshall5720 good news! If you haven't seen it yet, a trailer for the movie is out and it's coming this year (2023) on October 27th! (They didnt specify on year so i know it's coming soon!! 😄)
i watched this right when it came out & over the months for the coming fnaf movie, and after watching the (official) fnaf movie the other day, i can def say i prefer this version. the official movie, while enjoyable and higher budget im sure, disappointed me. it felt like it was created as a rewrite of the fnaf series, a retelling, rather than a movie for the fans. so im so glad this version you made exists! i can tell it really was created by fans, for fans. thank you :)
As an ex cinema student, this movie fills me with joy. All the little novice errors I do too ahahah. But the movie is great and you guys have an amazing future in filmmaking I'm sure of it. Keep up the good work!
This is amazing in every way. It takes on the lore of the series and it’s indescribable darkness in a beautiful way. It’s creepy and terrifying at times which is exactly what it needs. And overall, I love how human they made Michael. This entire project just feels nothing but genuine. It’s outstanding
This film is amazing honestly I wish I’d seen it when it came out! I have my complaints but they’re minor I also was gonna say something about them singing the same song over and over in the party scene but then I realized that phone guy says in the game about them singing the same stupid song for 20 years and I realized that it was intentional. I love the details like that they’re so good!!
wow. i just honestly have no words. the amount of effort and the adaptations to the “plot line” (like there ever was one) are so amazing. i was so genuinely invested the entire time and even knowing the lore, i got excited at the new turns and twists. creating this kind of film takes an unspeakable amount of work at it shows. a full length fan feature film is not an easy feat to pull off but you did, and spectacularly at that. also the camera work and sound work blew me out of the water. for a completely unsupported, independent film, the production quality was through the roof and honestly better than some professionals. finally I need to talk about the set and time work. oh my god. the set was absolutely beautiful, everything looked exactly like the first fnaf location and it felt real. it also really felt like the movie was set in the past and not the 21st century. you all did an absolutely wonderful job on this film and you should be so proud. i hope to see more of your work in the future. thank you for keeping our fan base alive :)
The scene where foxy got right up in Michaels face is possibly the scariest piece of fnaf media I've ever seen. Something about it being live action just hits different. AMAZING JOB!!!
Ok after finishing this film. I love it! Everyone did a amazing job! You guess deserve a break from this masterpiece! *edit: I also love how Mike had came full circle, from the boy who was to jealous of his younger brother and accidentally murdering him to a man who will stop at nothing to find someone who he barely even knew. Please make a sequel, perhaps telling us a little bit more on Charlie and William, but you guys already made this masterpiece. You all deserve to rest. Have a great thanksgiving!*
From his masterpiece! I love my coming full circle , from boy who was jealous of his younger brother and accidentally murdered him to a man who will stop at nothing to find someone who he barely even knew.. Charlie and William to rest. Have a great Thanksgiving !
I love how you made Mike so… well, sad for his brothers death. No one really does that anymore- or not from what I’ve seen. But I’m a HUGE FNaF fan and it made me so happy to find a movie that really understands the lore. It also shows how far apart Micheal and William are. Great movie!
Commenting to help the algorithm, a full fanmade film like this deserves more attention. As a long time FNaF theorist, I appreciate that some creative liberties were taken as it keeps things fresh. May this film have never ending success
Omg! I’m speechless. You guys put so much thought and detail this, you guys even decided not to use the phone guys prerecorded voice and made your own! And the games and dreams had probably taken a lot of work. This movie deserves at least an 8/10 at lowest!😊 This was great Thank you for this unique masterpiece and telling it your own way.
This. This was absolutely stunning. Thats the best way I can describe it, honestly. The story is so much better than what the big budget blumhouse would probably create, even with their better animatronics and various effects.
i can't even say how much i loved this movie. the plot was amazing! the way you built atmosphere was fantastic! and at the end you showed Mike speaking to his little brother so he could finally forgive himself!
i was so excited for the fnaf movie that has to come out this year, but i don't think it's gonna be beter than this, thank you so much!
there is only one way to find out that the Five Nights at Freddy's movie will be better than this is to actually watch it and this with your own eyes, then compare the two, until then, no assuming is required, it is merely futile.
I think the fnaf movie will be better but again 9.5/10
I think the official movie will be scarier but I wonder if it can top this movie's story.

Golden Freddie’s scenes genuinely sent a shiver down my spine. To be fair, he was always the scariest. A metal cage, containing the flesh of a dead child, slumped in your corner, watching you suffer with dead eyes.
i always saw golden freddy as more of a god-like figure looming over everything
also yoooo fellow kwite fan
golden freddy is not the original fredbear, its only a soul a different suit. there were many versions of springbonnie and fredbear
@@cawsomeaolin And that’s the problem I have with the fans. What’s the point of always dehumanizing dead children for the sake of it? No, Golden Freddy is not a god. He doesn’t solo the whole FNAF universe or whatever. FNAF isn’t a story about power, and I don’t see why people still got arguments over it. GF is a kid around 4-8yo, there may even be 2 kids sharing the suit based on the Fazbear Frights, who was brutally killed and shoved into a literal machine. He can barely twitch, and is always in pain. And no again, he didn’t create William a personal hell. It was proven to be a prolonged nightmare in William’s coma.

In the 8 years of Fnaf, this is a perfect example of deadicated fans of the franchise. While Fnaf had its rocky moments throughout the years, it still stands as my favorite franchise. I can tell that the budget for this was pretty big, considering all the props and effort put into the details in the movie.
This movie is amazing, and judging by the looks of the ending, I'm guessing you're maybe gonna release another one? Either way, this movie is amazing. I bet if Scott himself watched this movie, he'd be impressed. 😀👍

This is clearly done by professionals. I find it funny that the fans have made a full-length film, with quality storytelling and acting, with obviously a lower budget than any Hollywood or Universal film, and they made it quicker than the actual studio making the movie. Well fricken done. This is one of those movies i wish i had to pay to see.
And now watching the official film, I can say that despite the high quality of the film, the production and everything, this fan film manages to be much better than the official film itself. This fan film manages to be much more immersive, has a much better plot and manages to be much more accurate to the games in terms of adapting the gameplay, something that the official film didn't even try to do, placing the security room as a tiny room and not having metal doors, Michael from the movie sleeping all the time instead of keeping an eye on the animatronics like in the games, in addition to the pizzeria not giving the claustrophobic feeling of the pizzeria in the game. This fan film perfectly adapted the gameplay of the game in an interesting way for a film, while an interesting mystery plot takes place. Yes, this fan film left most of the things about William Afton or Henry Emily a mystery, but then again, what would Fnaf be without its mysteries and implied things?
I’ve seen both movies and I gotta say, this on is more accurate to the lore, but both are equally good

The fact that someone not only made a fnaf fanfilm that has the running length of an actual full-length movie is really, REALLY commendable.
I give my kudos to you and the people responsible for bringing this film into fruition.
May you be able to achieve such greater lengths in the near future.
I don't understand. They not only made a FNAF fan film that has the running length of a movie, but what? I think you're missing a part of your comment or the "not only" part needs to be removed
@@bluegoosecommuterline i think they meant "not only did someone make a fnaf fanfilm, but it has the running length of an actual full- length movie"*
The original horror flame of FNAF was relit with this one. Some jump scares actually got me and the story, while corny, communicated the spirit of FNAF and the emotion I imagine it would’ve been like.
For real life
That is so cool to know

I love your version of Michael Afton! It's good to see that dedicated fans are still here to keep the franchise alive and entertaining for everyone. Thank you to the team, this was so fun to watch :)
Same here! Micheal in the games’ seems like he is on talking terms with William. So I love that you see that here! Especially since it seems he does it to get validation from his father. Just all in all good stuff.

The fact that someone was able to make a full feature length film about five nights at Freddy’s is awesome. And the fact that they did it before an official movie came out is even better maybe if this does well enough, it’ll finally motivate an official Fnaf movie to be made.
there is gunna be an official fnaf movie , the production is starting early next year i’m pretty sure
There is an official movie being made. Has a cast and filming begins in Feb.
Didn't they like try to film it three times already just for Scott to throw the whole script and rewriting everything?
Although I gotta say that I don't think that this is necessarily bad since apparently Scott has had a hard time adapting the story into a movie
@@dadodadokowski9108 yeah there’s been multiple scripts and tries at filming it but the one that’s in production atm is definitely going ahead im pretty sure because the cast has been announced
@@dadodadokowski9108 it was only scripts, none went into film production. But this one has
I'm here to put my two cents in too. While I enjoyed the official movie, I think this one has much better pacing. Maybe there's not enough action for a cinematic experience, but the way the mystery builds up to the reveal is actually really good. I especially prefer Mike having to figure everything out himself instead of Vanessa or Abby just telling him. There's also the scene of Mike checking the cameras which were very underutilized in the movie. And as amazing as the reveal of William was in the official movie, I think this version of him is scarrier because he doesn't act over-the-top.
Even though we have the official movie now, I'll always appreciate this one.
After finishing the movie I have to say this was a wonderfully made film full of callbacks to lore, great music, atmosphere, sound effects, costuming and set choices,and even down to some explanations we didn’t receive in the games themselves! Being a part of the journey for this entire film was such an amazing experience and an honor to be a part of, here’s to more from the great Ex blue!

Also, I'm almost at the end, did mike find evan?? Or Johnathan?

this is such a fantastic fan film! I've been looking forward to this since it was announced, and it did not disappoint. The story was great, and i loved seeing your guys spin on things, like the training tapes mixed with the voice messages from Johnathan, and the mini-game nightmares were such a clever way to incorporate those parts of the games. This movie also surprisingly creeped me out in many places! There's so many stand out scenes to me, like foxy slowly leaning toward mike under the desk, Golden Freddy sitting in the corner of Mike's bedroom, the scene where Mike flips the tables and finds the hidden room. Or seeing Golden Freddy in at Evan's grave. I especially love how you guys portrayed William Afton. If I'm being honest, in the games William has become a bit of a joke and not the creepy killer he used to be, but this movie captures that creepy factor again! the whole car park scene was so cool! William just being creepyily in the background watching Mike was so unsettling, and when he confesses his murders to Mike and tells him to leave before he kills him again was really unnerving! Johnathan's screams on the night 4 tape were so realistic and gut wrenching, definitely the best piece of acting in the movie. Some areas could have been better, like i feel that the news report at the start was a bit of an info dump and didn't flow too great in my opinion. The editing in some areas as well could have been done better. But don't get me wrong, the positives MASSIVELY outweigh the negatives! I can tell you guys are passionate about your work, and overall this was just a fun creepy FNaF experience. Excellent work guys👌
I completely agree, especially with the Afton thing. The whole remnant scientist story is just absurd, but this portrayal of him is amazing
I’m pretty sure the editing on where it is glitchy is intentional, but if not then the problem of not getting the movie out in time helped in some sort of weird and fantastic way
Hope that made sense
The screams from night 4 were acting at it's best
I'm not reading all that.
@@IwaneTheOne Then why would you bother saying that? If you're not gonna read it then just don't read it. Why bother going out of your way to just say you are not going to do something? It's like when people reply to something by saying "Idk." There's no value in it.
the fnaf fan movie on budget has so much better and more canon writing than the actual, official, fnaf movie that was also written by the Scott Cawthon himself, i think that says alot about the current fnaf franchise
Honestly yeah, if this got a bigger budget, you could do so much more, better acting, better cinematography, technical stuff like sound. While the OST for the official FNAF movie is pretty good, this movie's OST fits a lot more for me. The ambience + grunge rock-ish songs feel era- appropriate and also fit with Micheal Afton's personality and character and the general world of FNAF imo.
@Sonicmid Yeah just my opinion. Don't get me wrong I loved the FNAF movie but I prefer this movie's atmosphere over the official one.
If I'm being honest, I really love Michael's descent into madness as he tries to find the lore, just like a certain youtuber that I think we should all know who's name starts with M and ends with atPat.

Makes sense. Logically, ya’d think he would’ve been smarter and done more, and because he didn’t, well…
Its been so long (living tombstone reference unintended) since i had this movie on wait, taking space on my tab, and now that i finally seen it, its fantastic. Even though the acting isn't pro actors quality, dialogues and emotions were great.
Such a rollercoaster of feels, from suspense, horror, and those funny moments with the tapes.
I mostly loved how well incorporated was the lore from the games. Michael almost using his real surname, the last nightguard replacing phone guy, but Mike just casually saying phone guys lines when picking the phone, golden freddys alusinations, mike actually being dead but somehow is still alive. And the last scene giving it a "may continue" vibe.
Loved it

Y’all should be proud of yourselves. Over all, this is BRILLIANT for first time filmmakers. If you enjoyed it, you should definitely make more.

This was a damn good fan film
The production was solid, I was very invested in Mike’s story, and I love that this wasn’t afraid to be honest about the absurdity in some of the games. 8/10
I am just sitting here, with my jaw on the floor, geeking out... I loved every single thing about this movie. Genuinely thank you for making this.
You bet I'll be rewatching it. Can't wait to find and analyze every single detail!
Just gave this a rewatch, and even though I think I already left a comment here, I'm pretty sure I finally figured out what makes this film in my opinion so much better than the official film: it has an actual vision and style, it isnt just a hodgepodge of random ideas. It isnt afraid to experiment and try things out or work with weird ideas, and when it does, it handles it with the correct amount of tact in order to keep it serious but highlight how, at its very core, FNAF is a pretty goofy story. Yet despite that, it manages to contain actual solid and relatable emotions with an ending of self-forgiveness.
I read a comment here that this film reminded them of a Puppet Combo game, and I really love that comparison; from the chilling OST to the film grain (even if unintentional due to the corrupted footage), it feels like an old indie film made in the 90s, and I mean that in the best way. Really also gets the lore just right, tying in to the games nicely while still working as a fairly grounded surface level and self-contained story. The official movie, if you ask me, felt too clean, too bland and sterilized, especially in its lack of moral ambiguity and also lack of commitment to any real style other than generic shots and camera angles. It also relied too heavily on fan service, while this film has little to none that doesnt serve the plot in any manner.
This just told the story of a fucked up nightguard dealing with unraveling trauma and having to INVESTIGATE (not get lore-dumped by a random cop) and SURVIVE (yes, not sleep, like he did in the official movie) five nights at the place where his traumas were born and lie dormant, waiting for him to confront them, while also leaving room to expand upon for possible sequels; exactly what the official film SHOULD'VE been like.
This film aint perfect, but imo it will remain the best actual FNAF film that really exists and can be watched, start to finish, and I will always appreciate it for existing, even if you guys never make a sequel (which you confirmed you wouldn't, I watched all the behind the scenes and Q&A stuff too!)
I heavily disagree with everything you said. I loved the look of the real movie.I also loved the story of the real movie because it was trying to be different from the games.
@garrettmurphy2447 I don't have an issue with the movie trying to be different from the game's lore, not at all, but it felt to me the official movie just took the cliffnotes of the games/books lore and put it in without any of the depth it originally had. For example, springlocks in the games are treated as a thing that make logical sense but can, under rare circumstances, go extremely wrong. In the official movie, however, they are just a torture device made by Afton (and an inconsistent one at that. Why can Vanessa activate the springlocks of the Ella doll with just a broom but William Afton, in a suit of springlocks, can push, kick, and get shot by a bullet without it going off?)
In the BTS of the official movie, before it came out, one of the actual cinematographers said they wanted the film to feel like the Shining, and I would've loved that. "We wanted Freddy's to feel like the Overlook Hotel of pizzerias." Awesome. Problem is none of that is present in the cinematography; Stanley Kubrick used intense and unorthodox shots to highlight the surreal nature of the events, sprinkling in cryptic messages all throughout. Furniture would move slightly in between shots with no explainable meaning. The official movie, however, in my opinion, only has a few shots that stand out to me.
Sure, there's references and fan service, which I definitely enjoyed, but that alone doesn't hold up a film, at least for me. I appreciate Scott Cawthon's work, but I honestly feel like he played it too safe for movie, trying to appeal to everyone, which in turn made it stand out less, something the classic games never struggled with.
I'm not gonna say there was no passion or love behind the real movie, because Scott was behind it and I know he cares about this franchise; it just felt muddied to me is all, without a clear vision because Scott wanted to appeal to every single type of fan. Unfortunately for me, I wasn't one of those types, or maybe I was supposed to be, but it just didn't work for me. And I was loving the trailers for the official movie as well! The premise sounded solid, the cast was loaded, but I just think Scott played it too safe.
Personally, I prefer a slightly technically weaker film that has a clear, unique vision and dedicates itself to it rather than a bigger budget film that's unsure of what it wants to be or adapt. I don't want to dissuade your argument or anything, we may never agree, but I've been thinking long and hard about this and I have a lot to say about it. I'm sure Scott will come into his own with the sequel films, and he'll find exactly what he wants to do and where he wants to take the franchise, I just may no longer be interested in it if it takes a direction I don't care for, and that's totally fine.
Wow this was long, sorry for dumping like 5 paragraphs on you lol
Thank you for watching our movie with some nuance. Night Five is by no means perfect (I don’t think it’s even that good after a year and a half of reflection), but comments like these make everything we went through to get it done worth it. I’m so glad you liked what we did.
Also, just for the record, the film grain aesthetic was always the plan! The missing frames was just something we had to put up with. If you want more info on the BTS and making of the movie, I put out a video on my channel talking about it a few months back (not sure if that’s what you meant by “the Q&A stuff”)
@@GamerSketch Yep, I watched that Q&A video, plus the movie commentary (I could never forget "His chin looks like a ballsack"). To be honest I'd never heard of the Ex Blue channel before this, but I do love watching passionate indie films on UA-cam, so when UA-cam recommended me a full-length fan film of a franchise I've been a part of for nearly a decade I was very curious, and I definitely wasn't disappointed, though I did have my issues with the film past the technical issues and the visual effects on the animatronics.
Watching the official movie 3 months ago has really gotten me back into thinking about this franchise, and it really disappointed me with its lack of any clear vision, and I like to occassionally rewatch segments of Night Five when it pops back in my recommended every once in a while and say "Damn, if only the official movie was more like this."
Like I said, I don't think Night Five is a perfect film, but the effort and care for this franchise really shine through in this project, at least it did for me, and the ending is seriously solid. To see creators who have similar opinions and visions for this goofy franchise as I do actually come together and make something is just awesome to see. I have a feeling if you guys were given a chance at a redo and granted the keys to make an official FNAF movie with Blumhouse's budget and production, maybe even alongside Scott, it could seriously be truly amazing. Either way I'd definitely love to see more filmmaking from you guys in general, even if it isn't FNAF related or even on this channel.
@@ExtraQuestionableContent Hey man, I don’t think it’s perfect either. I’m just glad you can enjoy it on its merits as a messy but halfway decent earnest attempt at a cool idea. 😎
I love this, I love how they explained the entire backstory in a seamless way and how they explain the power during nights. It's all made great and I love fans still make these hoping Scott can actually look and see them and maybe even be able to piece together lore that we never guaranteed to be Canon. Keep it up because this was absolutely amazing
Although the lighting, camera angles, framerate, etc. may not be perfect, it is still DAMN good for such a small team and a low budget. The story and acting are honestly pretty good, and it's crazy the amount of passion you had to literally create this entire set and make an entire movie.
You are by far the best FNAF IRL youtuber of all time. Keep on rocking and making masterpieces like this!
I could not put it better myself
I don’t even know how to put this into words- this is absolutely incredible! a full-length film made by fans, it’s awesome
amazing job to everyone who worked on this and made this possible, I just don’t know what to say, this is just incredible ^^
The story is so well made and portrayed, the “interactions” between Mike and Jonathan despite never knowing each other was cool, and the general setting, aura, vhs tape style stuff, and everything about this is just perfect
I honestly feel like Henry Emily knows about the murders of Freddy fazbear’s pizza, he just keeps silent because he doesn’t wanna lose his business and is just still grieving Charlotte’s death.
So much detail and passion was put into this film. It was fantastic.The foxy lights out part gave me the creeps. I just got a higher expectations for the real fnaf movie. Great job guys
Wow, just wow. I just finished watching the whole thing and I enjoy every minute of it, everything was so well done. The acting, props, sets, and costumes are great. One of my favorite parts about this film is the sound design. The footsteps got me to jump more then a few times, and the music perfectly fit the early 90s ascetic and the overall tone of the film, Michaels character was great here and genuinely got me invested in the story and world. You guys did an amazing job with this, I cant wait to see what you all do next.
The thing that this movie shows is that not every is good, everyone has a bit of bad/ evil apart from Mike. Henry known what happen and covered it up, made Mike look like that bad guy. This was an amazing movie the acting was out if this world, can't wait to see if they'll do another movie
I,m just gonna say... this film is reay great. Props to you ex blue and studio 64. I am a proud owner of a local film company, but i always let my budget get the best of me... i am a huge fnaf fan i would've died to make this.
I really did enjoy the movie. I like how it captured many of the main points from the lore while also putting its own twist on it. I also liked how Michael was actually given a motive to work at Freddy’s, and I enjoyed how his goal for saving Jonathan was expanded on and even included original characters. The story wasn’t just a night guard working at Freddy’s, but a man motivated to work at Freddy’s to right his past mistakes and give closure to himself and others.
Glad you finally managed to get the movie up after a few days of technical problems. I'm so excited. I know it's going to be amazing.
This was actually amazing for a fanmade film with little experience, keep up the good work guys, with stuff like this who knows maybe you'll get to work with Scott!
Unfortunately Scott actually relinquished ownership of the series after a debacle on twitter
@@astralfrog no he still owns everything. He just gave Steel Wool the rights to make the games. He’ll still be behind the scenes, but he’s retired nonetheless
Watched this in the leadup to the official FNAF movie, and man, Blumhouse is gonna have a hard time topping this. While there were some things that went a little over under (won't spoil) the dynamic between Michael and Evan was portrayed so well that the ending nearly had me in tears. Bravo guys, you deserve a lot more attention than you got on this.
I've always been a fan of vengeful c.c aus, but the way you guys did Michael's atonement, I absolutely love. Especially when Evan didn't need or have to forgive him, but in the end Evan made that choice and knew Mike was trying to help. You don't have a lot of actual characters that do atonement. And I also really love the little "Hi Mike" my heart 😭❤️
I respect all the effort y'all put into this. Even with the last minute problems!
This was incredible, I think the best part of it was the sound effects. Your real life Freddy's restaurant really brought this movie to life, too.
I like this movie more than the actual fnaf movie
I think it’s because it really complemented the first game in the uncanny valley. Like even though the costumes weren’t all that they actually look very lifeless
I absolutely LOVE this. Everything about it is just… amazing. Something about some of the cheesiness in some of the scenes really makes it, adds to the vibes of the story and fits in well within the FNAF franchise. This was clearly made with a LOT of love and devotion and it deserves A LOT of praise and recognition. Fantastic work everyone.
I love all of the pieces of the franchise coming together, all of the little references but combined with your own twists really sealed it. Ahhh! ❤
What an absolute achievement from you all! I can't begin to guess how many hours of love, sweat, and tears went into the overall production of this movie (even after the set was already built!). You excelled at capturing the tension of the original FNAF while combining aspects of the others, and the nod to both FNAF 2 and 3 has me excited for possible future projects!
I know you had setback along the way, but you all should be so SO proud of what you've made together- it is a honour to the FNAF fandom!
I can’t believe this! A full-length insane quality FNAF fan movie. Good job 👍 ❤
this was beautiful
the actual fnaf movie we needed
Absolutely, and it doesn't feel like it's just for the fans
Nah, I like the official better
I was so impressed at the scene (46:35) where Michael got stuck looking at the video tape in the office and it pans to his face and you can see the light from the video playing across his face while the music creepily slows down and then BOOM. That was a super cool detail!! Amazing guys thank you for your hard work!!
U might wanna like edit the spoilers out as some ppl look through comments b4 watching it
@@ItsInfinityVR not my responsibility lmao I can’t control that people look at comments before watching the movie 😭
Everyone's talking about the fact that there's finally a movie.. I just want to talk about how great the story was, the actors, lore, set, props, and everything! I LOVE how the film turned out! I was crying happy tears at the end when John was saved and Mike was able to talk to Evan. It was just so sweet and heartwarming and LSBFELBSKGRNQIQPRLVPLWNEOCNSOING!
Also, I love how real you guys made this film and it really went back in time to make it feel old and it was just so cool!
it gives really good 1990 movie vibes, like it was actually made in 1990. i dont know if that was their intentions but its cool and nostalgic either way!
This is an absolutely perfect fan adaptation of Five Nights at Freddys. This film was insane! The set as a whole is unbelievable and captures the FNaF 1 Location so well!! I loved the acting and the characters! Be proud of this great movie you all have created!
This is absolutely astonishing, the fact that more people aren’t freaking out about it this is almost outrageous. I’ve been a part of this fandom since 5th grade and honestly I never really wanted there to be a Fnaf movie. I thought there was no way a movie could capture what made Fnaf special. But… lo and behold. You guys did an incredible job. This makes me actually excited to see the official Fnaf movie, and it also makes me so, so happy that such dedicated, creative, talented individuals have found a home in the Fnaf fandom. The dedication and faithfulness in this movie is just remarkable.
Theres a movie coming in 2024 by blumhouse studios in cinemas
@@rhysmarshall5720
Yeah, I’m trying not to get my hopes up lol but I hope it’s good
@@rhysmarshall5720 good news! If you haven't seen it yet, a trailer for the movie is out and it's coming this year (2023) on October 27th! (They didnt specify on year so i know it's coming soon!! 😄)
@@jittercritterimo it’s good ignore the cretics
I come from the future the movie is out and it’s good!
I like how Michael is constantly covered with purple light. Nice detail.
i watched this right when it came out & over the months for the coming fnaf movie, and after watching the (official) fnaf movie the other day, i can def say i prefer this version. the official movie, while enjoyable and higher budget im sure, disappointed me. it felt like it was created as a rewrite of the fnaf series, a retelling, rather than a movie for the fans. so im so glad this version you made exists! i can tell it really was created by fans, for fans. thank you :)
Not the Fnaf film we expected, but the Fnaf film we absolutely appreciate. It was incredible.
As an ex cinema student, this movie fills me with joy. All the little novice errors I do too ahahah. But the movie is great and you guys have an amazing future in filmmaking I'm sure of it.
Keep up the good work!
This is amazing in every way. It takes on the lore of the series and it’s indescribable darkness in a beautiful way. It’s creepy and terrifying at times which is exactly what it needs. And overall, I love how human they made Michael. This entire project just feels nothing but genuine. It’s outstanding
This film is amazing honestly I wish I’d seen it when it came out! I have my complaints but they’re minor I also was gonna say something about them singing the same song over and over in the party scene but then I realized that phone guy says in the game about them singing the same stupid song for 20 years and I realized that it was intentional. I love the details like that they’re so good!!
wow. i just honestly have no words. the amount of effort and the adaptations to the “plot line” (like there ever was one) are so amazing. i was so genuinely invested the entire time and even knowing the lore, i got excited at the new turns and twists. creating this kind of film takes an unspeakable amount of work at it shows. a full length fan feature film is not an easy feat to pull off but you did, and spectacularly at that. also the camera work and sound work blew me out of the water. for a completely unsupported, independent film, the production quality was through the roof and honestly better than some professionals. finally I need to talk about the set and time work. oh my god. the set was absolutely beautiful, everything looked exactly like the first fnaf location and it felt real. it also really felt like the movie was set in the past and not the 21st century. you all did an absolutely wonderful job on this film and you should be so proud. i hope to see more of your work in the future. thank you for keeping our fan base alive :)
The scene where foxy got right up in Michaels face is possibly the scariest piece of fnaf media I've ever seen. Something about it being live action just hits different. AMAZING JOB!!!
Ok after finishing this film. I love it! Everyone did a amazing job! You guess deserve a break from this masterpiece!
*edit: I also love how Mike had came full circle, from the boy who was to jealous of his younger brother and accidentally murdering him to a man who will stop at nothing to find someone who he barely even knew. Please make a sequel, perhaps telling us a little bit more on Charlie and William, but you guys already made this masterpiece. You all deserve to rest. Have a great thanksgiving!*
Oh they will didn’t you see the post credit scene? They will make a sequel with fnaf 3 irl
@@wiseonly52 LETS GOOO

From his masterpiece! I love my coming full circle , from boy who was jealous of his younger brother and accidentally murdered him to a man who will stop at nothing to find someone who he barely even knew..
Charlie and William to rest. Have a great Thanksgiving !
I love how you made Mike so… well, sad for his brothers death. No one really does that anymore- or not from what I’ve seen. But I’m a HUGE FNaF fan and it made me so happy to find a movie that really understands the lore. It also shows how far apart Micheal and William are. Great movie!
out of all jumpscares i was expecting, i wasn't really expecting the INTRO TO BE A JUMPSCARE!
Commenting to help the algorithm, a full fanmade film like this deserves more attention.
As a long time FNaF theorist, I appreciate that some creative liberties were taken as it keeps things fresh. May this film have never ending success
The comunity are so proud of your job, congrats. Its a very good film.
We just saw the official movie today, but I think this one is just as good.
Omg! I’m speechless. You guys put so much thought and detail this, you guys even decided not to use the phone guys prerecorded voice and made your own! And the games and dreams had probably taken a lot of work. This movie deserves at least an 8/10 at lowest!😊 This was great Thank you for this unique masterpiece and telling it your own way.
This is probably the most incredible fnaf fan-made project I’ve ever seen. This was absolutely fantastic, you guys did amazing!
You know I don't think there's words to describe how incredible this movie is. Incredible work from everyone involved!
This fan made movie story is better than a real movie
This.
This was absolutely stunning.
Thats the best way I can describe it, honestly.
The story is so much better than what the big budget blumhouse would probably create, even with their better animatronics and various effects.
