Agreed, had it been implied to be truly like le bite of 87 sort of thing, just showing maybe the silhouette of the body hanging there for a second or something would be so effective at being unsettling and being a “subtle” nod to the lore.

The biggest praise I have for the film is honestly the child actors. They were shockingly good which isn't what I've come to expect in recent years. Whoever played golden Freddy will absolutely become an amazing actor
Yeah no the child actors were actually better than some of the adult actors. They did amazingly with what they were given. I also love how the vast majority of the movie was practical effects and not cgi. I'm pretty certain the only cgi went into the Cupcake.

@@Neo-Queenserenityt2l I think Scott Cawthon never properly adapts any of the games in any other medium because he doesn't want to disconfirm any theories. That's why every adaptation of FNAF is analogous to the games but not a recreation of them. Example: some people believe that the Crying Child is William Afton's son and Michael Afton is Foxybro, and he has three children. However, in the books, William only has one child, Elizabeth. Even though in the games, we already know that he has at least two children, Michael and Elizabeth, who are explicitly said to be his children in Sister Location (Elizabeth and Michael both refer to William as their father). So, this doesn't confirm the theory that the Crying Child is related to William Afton or that William has three children in the games. Vanessa is also William's child in the movie, and she obviously isn't in the games, again. So once again, it doesn't really confirm the theory that William Afton had three children instead of just two in the games. But because these don't take place in the game universe, it doesn't really disconfirm the theory that the Crying Child could be one of William's children in the games.
10:03 It’s set in the year 2000, actually. When you see Mike waiting to see William at the beginning of the movie, we get a security camera view and it shows the date, and the year is 2000.
Main reason I even wanted to watch it was purely because of it being 8 years in the making. I give it a generous 7/10, but I'm pissed we didn't get the sex scene they promised us.
8:30 To answer your complaints, that was actually Golden Freddy who is kind of implied to be a ghost, so him going to the house would have been easy. Him leaving, however was difficult because he’d have to lead Abby to the pizzeria. Also that scene was planned before filming even started. Just watch MatPat’s film theory video about his cameo for proof
I loved the sibling relationship between the main lead and the girl, and how Freddy and the gang help heal that disconnected relationship, and Vanessa learning who her true family is, they took jumpscare simulator and turned it into a beautiful family story. I was legitimately worried the girl was gonna die.
Thank god I’m not the only person who thought this. The fact this film created characters I genuinely cared about from a series filled with silent protagonists. Also anything involving William afton was peak
It also cemented my hatred for Balloon Boy. I already hated the little shit for destroying my FNAF 2 runs, but the filmmakers set him up as the true main antagonist, the one behind the scenes controlling it all. It was always Balloon Boy, that little fat plastic shitlord.
YES! Thank you for stating the obvious that critics seem to actively ignore, this is like the first time ever where the dynamic between the animatronics and living humans are properly tackled, cause they were never evil they were just restless and tormented spirits, it makes sense that a fellow child would be able to connect with them and Vanessa who they basically see most often and kept an eye on them while they were oblivious to Afton being their killer.
Ngl Pyro saying “working at five nights at Freddy’s” and having a good laugh with his friends about it was just funny, it’s that kind of moment that’s just contagious in how it makes you laugh lol
I feel like Vanessa HAD to be tame and chill during the table fort scene. The animatronics are passive towards her - something they would stop doing if she tried taking Abby away.
I agree, it was kinda obvious that she was faking her cheerful attitude when mike and her left for the back room. There was even a moment during that scene where she tried to convince mike to go along with her, as if she was trying to keep the animatronics calm.
@@Mooms The problem is that wasn't really an intentional attack from the animatronics, so her being scared of them killing Abby kinda did come outta nowhere. It would've made more sense to have a scene where Abby accidentally pisses off Bonnie or something and gets injured, then the fear would've been justified.
@@mcblazehunter6888 It didn't come out of nowhere. In the scene before she tells mike that someone broke in and gets freaked out by the fact that he has a child in his home. She most likely saw the camera footage or saw the remains of the people who broke in and panicked. Knowing that he had a little sister and knowing her father's history plus the break in, it probably was too much for vanessa. She just needed a way to get both of them away from there.
I would say that the FNAF movie is a good Movie in terms of FNAF, But not as a Horror movie. The PG-13 Kind of Killed the movie for me, but the movie I believe was made for a specific target audience anyway, hence the PG-13. It's satisfied the Fanbase so they hit the Target on the spot. If I had to give scores, 7/10 as a FNAF Movie, and 3/10 as a Horror Movie.
Even tho I loved this film, I feel like it’s not a good horror movie, which I’m fine with because they did everything else at the least ok, and at most amazing, and as a FNAF fan I loved it (Sequel when 🗣️🗣️🗣️)
Bro kids will watch gorey horror movies so I don't see why he needed to numb it down to cater to them, when ahem HALF OF HIS FANBASE ARE FULLY GROWN ADULTS NOW
@@SnrubSourceFact. I'm tired of people saying "it's a movie only for fans to enjoy" even though as a fan, it still sucked. I hate that movies nowadays can't be good and be for fans. It has to be one or the other for some reason.
The FNAF movie lacks that "desperate survival" vibe like they should have the montage of Mike desperately holding out in the office at the 2nd night when he finally realized the danger while the music "Talking in your sleep" is playing on the sequence.
Matthew Lillard is honestly such an underrated actor, he absolutely steals every scene he's in, both in this film and in others.. the way he acted the scene where Willian is skewered by the springlocks alone deserves a fucking award.
8:13 it was actually golden freddy and it is known since fnaf 1 that golden freddy can teleport so he was able to get to abby without any transport. His teleportation is also seen in the film once they arrive at the pizzeria again and abby turns around and he dissapears.
It was fantastic seeing Pyrocynical act as the security guard Vanessa for the new FNAF movie. My only criticism is that she is attempting to replicate yet another one of MoistCritikal's traits; his acting career.
Really bothered me that they had multiple scenes of Foxy running down a hall but it was always from his POV instead of letting us see it, I get the animatronics they made are like 300 pounds and move at 5mph but that's an iconic bit of imagery from the games ya know? Could have sped the footage up by 300% or something
I’d say general viewers would have to watch it at least twice to kinda understand better, like the starting credits shows William luring the five kids away which people may not have understood, and the reason William just shows up to the pizzeria is because Mike was learning about the murders and getting close to finding out who did it so William just went to finish Mike himself since he wanted Mike to be killed by the animatronics since he noticed he was related to one of his victims(Garret), but the animatronics left him alone. These are jarring during a first watch but for me get better the more you watch and understand what’s happening
100% agree It's a movie that benefits from a rewatch and an open mind for theories or idea crafting around the movie which is for better or worse depending on what u think of fnaf going into it
i think honestly even though i do think the main motivation of the movie was to be made for fans they should have put more thought into the people who are new to the series or dont know a lot about the lore. like they could have replaced the abby/anamatronic friend-time scenes with lore-explaining scenes since they took a lot of people out of the movie because they just didn't match the energy/tension the movie was trying to build. like have vanessa mention the murders more and what happened, have vanessa talk more about how she had a bad home life or set up william before he comes in. even if it's just montage scenes of mike researching the murders/shutdown of the resteraunt.
@@morg2040 I agree but I can also appreciate the fort scene showing how the kids stuffed in the suit would interact with the first child they’ve seen in the last 20 years. When you think about it that way the scene is more emotional for me since the animatronics probably haven’t been able to play like that since they we alive
for some reason i thought the actor who played the blonde kid was really good at delivering his lines and acting like a friendly child and slightly deranged at the same time
The reason why Freddy is able to get to Abby's house from the pizzeria is because its golden Freddy, not normal Freddy. And golden Freddy is able to teleport or something like that
Ok it’s 11 minutes so this is my preemptive TL;DW: - Rambles about the history of FNAF - Rambles about his personal connection with it (read “makes excuses for his deviant behaviour”) - Some entirely unrelated tangent about Dying Light or something - Only starts talking about the movie at like 7 minutes in - Beats around the bush before eventually concludes “Yeah it was alright” - Fin Let’s see how I square up. 🤷🏻♂️
There's no way critics expected a Blum house movie to be on the same level as The Shining or Candy Man... In all honestly this movie was 5/10 fun bad movie.
By the way, it wasn't Freddy in that got in the taxi, it's supposed to be Golden Freddy, that's why he dissappeard after he brought Abby to the pizzaria
I keep seeing the point brought up regarding the fort and how she seemingly randomly said he would shoot him if he brought abby back. but it's really not random, it's quite obvious that she was scared and knew what was going on. hence why you can see when they're in the back she is visibly afraid. It was even clarified that she knew what they wanted beforehand. Obviously when she knows what they're capable of she isn't gonna do anything or say anything in front of them.
@Errorz_ it's reaching because Vanessa was alone with Mike twice after he brought his sister to the big scary bear place, and she didn't say anything to him.
@@SillySweetSurpriseScott Cawthon can't write good lore at all, none of his lore makes sense and he has even admitted to changing it arbitrarily because theorists have guessed it, stop dick riding him and admit the movie was bad.
@@atvertues That's not true though? Although yes, they were technically alone twice, the first time was inside the supply closet where again, she was visibly afraid and questioned why he brought Abby. The second instance of being alone was outside the building, where she then told him to not bring her and threatened to shoot him if he did.
In the credits, you can hear the Puppet's Music Box theme and then her saying "Come Find Me" like in the Save Them Minigame of fnaf 2. So yeah, in about 5 years or so we can expect a second Fnaf Movie
I've just seen the film and I can wholeheartedly say that forcing a Mature rating on it would be a mistake. It's light hearted and the gag of having BB be the only one to jumpscare in the whole film was hilarious and effective. The fort and taxi scenes were amazing and Vanessa snapping at Mike did not seem that out of place going by what was implied.
You know what? For a hardcore fnaf fan who adored the movie, I think Pyro’s review is very fair. He personally disliked the movie but he can at least acknowledge the aspects of the film that were genuinely good while also constructively criticizing the parts that were admittedly not so good. 10/10 review Pyro
Also they did try to stretch pg-13 to the limits, it’s that because fans are around that age, if y’all are gonna complain about pg 13, please be aware of the audience Fnaf is for. I don’t wanna sound stupid, but hopefully they’ll make a full cut that’s r rated so it can reach the best.
4:45 for context mikes little sister touched bonnies guitar which was a live wire shocking her and knocking her out that's why vanessa gets mad at mike since another kid got harmed at freddys which spoilers : she witnessed and knew her father killed the at freddys and stuffed them in the suits
as someone who loves the lore, this movie was a hard watch just because of how far it strays from the original story and I just kept thinking "this makes no sense"
Meanwhile, the books include a massively different take on the story. I don’t even recall anyone spending five nights at the restaurant in any of them.
What would have been a good set up was if each night they covered a different kids death in mikes dream sequences that drop hints about William Afton, followed by an awake horror sequence of him evading, fighting off, and eventually appeasing the focus of the night. The “final night” is then a “boss fight” with Willy A where Mike uses his new knowledge of the suits to trigger a spring lock failure.
It does speak volumes that the random evil aunt is more of a driving force for the plot than the dude who’s the reason that there’s haunted animatronics.
The thing about fnaf is that it was always a bit campy. The VHS tapes make people think it’s a lot darker than it’s supposed to be and while it has some gore, it’s still pretty pg-13.
The games are about mauled dead children being stuffed into stinky, bloody robots by a serial killer and reawakening to do the same with grown men. The first game with all its limitations even shows a corpse with disembodied eyes coming out of an animatronic. The fnaf franchise was built on this disturbing gory mistery, thats why the vhs tapes exist and the fnaf movie comes out as toothless
@@gabrieletraini3849then again, there comes a point where the games start to take themselves less seriously. Exotic Butters, the blueprint system, Fnaf world, Baby questioning the player’s decisions, Vlad & his wife, Fnaf world, candy cadet, Mr. Hippo’s stories, the reward cutscenes in UCN, Fnaf world, all the troll releases, the jar of pickles being a selectable option for the 6 restaurant, handiunit, etc. Oh and Fnaf World.
@@Rclarke115 yeah but thats when the franchise got complacent and started aiming for the new target audience, those same kids scott realized comprised most of the fanbase are now adults so in my honest opinion they should have been more authentic to the original idea and vibe of the series. The movie came out toothless
This is the most brain dead take I've seen being passed around and it doesn't make sense to me At this point I'm cool with the rating because there are good engaging pg13 horror films But acting as if kids getting brutally murdered and stuffed into suits A guy literally having his internal organs ripped out and replaced with wires A girl getting crushed inside of an animatronic robot Another guy getting sliced and impaled by a suit and then going on to rot for 30 years and then having instances where he pulls his head off and shows it to us in very EXPLICIT DETAIL NOT SUITED FOR KIDS isn't scary or dark as hell Then you're beyond convincing Horror can be campy and STILL BE SCARY it's been done plenty of times it doesn't even need to be gory it just needs to be scary It's a horror movie not a thriller movie
I loved the film but it was not scary. It also was more to the fans which is a bit of a shame. To be honest, when Scott announced which one they were doing, I thought it was going to be about Michael Afton discovering his fathers crimes while reliving past traumas.
matt wasn't contracted to help them write the story lmao what are you talking about. scott wrote and help direct the movie. he just wanted to include matpat for a short cameo because of him being very important to the community. that's it.
also not to be an "um actually" type of nerd but golden freddy doesn't have a physical body and he can teleport. so him apperaing in the house out of nowhere wasn't a plot hole
the main thing that ruined it for me was how long the slumber party which 1. was really out of place and made the film feel like it’s having a identity crisis 2. meant we missed out on other stuff that could be actual horror 3. they butchered the foxy ball pit scene which was when in the trailers i was actually expecting horror just for it to be cut off and kinda end it was purely trailer footage
So every game would end up being 2 movies per game? That’s a lotttt of movies. Additionally they’re still unsure if they will be able to do a second movie with the strike going on.
2:58 i was driving by the cinema and noticed a small detail on the fnaf movie poster had the "now showing" falling off and when i pointed it out my mother called it... five freddys 😂
I thought Vanessa telling Mike that she'll shoot him was to despite the fact that their being friendly with Ashley because the animatronics are more dangerous than the accidental electrocution of Bonnie's guitar and Vanessa snapping out of her trance.
*SPOILER* : it really felt like i was having a fever dream in the middle of the movie when the animatronics were just hanging out with them like it was whatever.
I get why some people dislike it but I don’t really care I loved it! I would recommend it to anyone who wants something good to watch 10/10 great movie :)
Did pyro skip the fact that the freddy who rode the taxi had teleporting powers implied when the robot literally disappeared in thin air after mike looked back? The freddy had to use the cab because it had the kid at that point and couldn’t teleport. Not really into fnaf but I assume it was a different freddy than the one part of the in stage because there were 5 kids that got offed and it was more destroyed and rusted compared to stage freddy. Film had problems but I think that one was just a nitpick from pyro
The literal most obvious reason for Fred bear/golden Freddy / Freddy getting to Abby's house but then calling a cab is because now they had to get Abby to the pizzeria. They obviously didn't live that close and it wouldve been next to impossible to lead a little girl back the pizzeria. Kids tend to get lost easy and don't like to walk extreme distances. It wouldve been a pain in the ass for Freddy to try to make her walk back
Why are we acting like Vanessa was crazy telling mike to not bring his sister back. It wasn’t out of no where. They were all having a fun time with the fort, then Mike’s sister strummed Bonnie’s guitar and there was that explosion. That’s what triggered her to say that.
I did think the movie was bad, but fun for me tho. But lots of things drag or do not really make sense. The balloon boy jumpscares was really funny to me for some reason The "scary killer robots" being friendly felt really stupid to me, like something like that removes all horror from them instantly It also felt very tame like its ment to be an horror but an kid friendly movie at the same time, which makes no sense because it got 16+ slapped on it anyway (in my country at least)
The robots being friendly was mostly the movie trying to make the ghost kids actually characters instead of just "scary ghost that kills everyone for usually no reason". The problem is that doing this kinda ruins the horror aspect because seeing the animatronics be friendly means that we see them as goofy even after they become scary killer robots again after getting mad at Mike. Basically the movie struggles in balancing it's very different tones caused by the spirits having motivations other than murder.
solid 7/10 film, if they do plan on making more this is a solid film to get a trilogy going. personally i didn't mind the amount of exposition dumb as i've seen a lot worse but at least most of its out of the way now so it won't be as big of a problem as it was in this film, not to mention scott usually learns from his mistakes and he had a big hand in making the film too so surely the sequel will be better too
@@thecabbageman5948 plot was shit, acting was shit, movie was generally tame and the twists are predictable and lazy it doesn’t deserve any more than a 3

Thank god I’m not the only person who thought this. The fact this film created characters I genuinely cared about from a series filled with silent protagonists. Also anything involving William afton was peak
@@jynxx_bit also made Jane. All my homies hate Jane
It also cemented my hatred for Balloon Boy. I already hated the little shit for destroying my FNAF 2 runs, but the filmmakers set him up as the true main antagonist, the one behind the scenes controlling it all. It was always Balloon Boy, that little fat plastic shitlord.
YES! Thank you for stating the obvious that critics seem to actively ignore, this is like the first time ever where the dynamic between the animatronics and living humans are properly tackled, cause they were never evil they were just restless and tormented spirits, it makes sense that a fellow child would be able to connect with them and Vanessa who they basically see most often and kept an eye on them while they were oblivious to Afton being their killer.
same, really glad they gave mike his resolution
Ngl Pyro saying “working at five nights at Freddy’s” and having a good laugh with his friends about it was just funny, it’s that kind of moment that’s just contagious in how it makes you laugh lol
Dude, when Mike Schmidt started working at Five Nights at Freddy's, I was literally shook
I feel like Vanessa HAD to be tame and chill during the table fort scene. The animatronics are passive towards her - something they would stop doing if she tried taking Abby away.
they made a fort at nite
I agree, it was kinda obvious that she was faking her cheerful attitude when mike and her left for the back room. There was even a moment during that scene where she tried to convince mike to go along with her, as if she was trying to keep the animatronics calm.
Plus he was wrong about Vanessa’s threat to Mike coming out of nowhere. The previous scene showed Abby getting electrocuted by Bonnie’s guitar.
@@Mooms The problem is that wasn't really an intentional attack from the animatronics, so her being scared of them killing Abby kinda did come outta nowhere. It would've made more sense to have a scene where Abby accidentally pisses off Bonnie or something and gets injured, then the fear would've been justified.
@@mcblazehunter6888 It didn't come out of nowhere. In the scene before she tells mike that someone broke in and gets freaked out by the fact that he has a child in his home. She most likely saw the camera footage or saw the remains of the people who broke in and panicked. Knowing that he had a little sister and knowing her father's history plus the break in, it probably was too much for vanessa. She just needed a way to get both of them away from there.
I would say that the FNAF movie is a good Movie in terms of FNAF, But not as a Horror movie. The PG-13 Kind of Killed the movie for me, but the movie I believe was made for a specific target audience anyway, hence the PG-13. It's satisfied the Fanbase so they hit the Target on the spot. If I had to give scores, 7/10 as a FNAF Movie, and 3/10 as a Horror Movie.
Even tho I loved this film, I feel like it’s not a good horror movie, which I’m fine with because they did everything else at the least ok, and at most amazing, and as a FNAF fan I loved it
(Sequel when 🗣️🗣️🗣️)
It's good at what it's trying to do
Like the Mario movie
Bro kids will watch gorey horror movies so I don't see why he needed to numb it down to cater to them, when ahem HALF OF HIS FANBASE ARE FULLY GROWN ADULTS NOW
Not really, even as a fan of the original series, it's a pretty poor adaptation. The fort scene is what killed it for me
@@SnrubSourceFact. I'm tired of people saying "it's a movie only for fans to enjoy" even though as a fan, it still sucked.
I hate that movies nowadays can't be good and be for fans. It has to be one or the other for some reason.
The FNAF movie lacks that "desperate survival" vibe like they should have the montage of Mike desperately holding out in the office at the 2nd night when he finally realized the danger while the music "Talking in your sleep" is playing on the sequence.
Pyro having people with him to film this video is a bigger plot twist than anything in the movie
Matthew Lillard is honestly such an underrated actor, he absolutely steals every scene he's in, both in this film and in others.. the way he acted the scene where Willian is skewered by the springlocks alone deserves a fucking award.
He's the best adult actor in the film by far but no... No, it really doesn't.
I instantly knew he didnt actually think its that bad from the thumbnail.
I loved when they said "The five nights were the Freddy's we made along the way". Goated film.

8:13 it was actually golden freddy and it is known since fnaf 1 that golden freddy can teleport so he was able to get to abby without any transport. His teleportation is also seen in the film once they arrive at the pizzeria again and abby turns around and he dissapears.
It was fantastic seeing Pyrocynical act as the security guard Vanessa for the new FNAF movie. My only criticism is that she is attempting to replicate yet another one of MoistCritikal's traits; his acting career.
Really bothered me that they had multiple scenes of Foxy running down a hall but it was always from his POV instead of letting us see it, I get the animatronics they made are like 300 pounds and move at 5mph but that's an iconic bit of imagery from the games ya know? Could have sped the footage up by 300% or something
I’d say general viewers would have to watch it at least twice to kinda understand better, like the starting credits shows William luring the five kids away which people may not have understood, and the reason William just shows up to the pizzeria is because Mike was learning about the murders and getting close to finding out who did it so William just went to finish Mike himself since he wanted Mike to be killed by the animatronics since he noticed he was related to one of his victims(Garret), but the animatronics left him alone. These are jarring during a first watch but for me get better the more you watch and understand what’s happening
100% agree It's a movie that benefits from a rewatch and an open mind for theories or idea crafting around the movie which is for better or worse depending on what u think of fnaf going into it
i think honestly even though i do think the main motivation of the movie was to be made for fans they should have put more thought into the people who are new to the series or dont know a lot about the lore. like they could have replaced the abby/anamatronic friend-time scenes with lore-explaining scenes since they took a lot of people out of the movie because they just didn't match the energy/tension the movie was trying to build.
like have vanessa mention the murders more and what happened, have vanessa talk more about how she had a bad home life or set up william before he comes in. even if it's just montage scenes of mike researching the murders/shutdown of the resteraunt.
@@morg2040 I agree but I can also appreciate the fort scene showing how the kids stuffed in the suit would interact with the first child they’ve seen in the last 20 years. When you think about it that way the scene is more emotional for me since the animatronics probably haven’t been able to play like that since they we alive
@@Nic9458 but it completely conflicts with their later motivations in the movie though, it's jarring.
i agree
@@thechugg4372
for some reason i thought the actor who played the blonde kid was really good at delivering his lines and acting like a friendly child and slightly deranged at the same time
If theres a second one it might just be so much better since now they have all the mascots and the budget can go towards the story
Plus don't need to play safe and retread lore
Tbh, if the second film includes the Toys, 80% of the budget will go into making Mangle and Puppet and somehow moving them 💀
they need to make it scary this time
@@Amokzyy there changing the script based on criticism
Can't wait for 2035
The reason why Freddy is able to get to Abby's house from the pizzeria is because its golden Freddy, not normal Freddy. And golden Freddy is able to teleport or something like that
Ok it’s 11 minutes so this is my preemptive TL;DW:
- Rambles about the history of FNAF
- Rambles about his personal connection with it (read “makes excuses for his deviant behaviour”)
- Some entirely unrelated tangent about Dying Light or something
- Only starts talking about the movie at like 7 minutes in
- Beats around the bush before eventually concludes “Yeah it was alright”
- Fin
Let’s see how I square up. 🤷🏻♂️
Holy shit he actually stepped it up and started talking about the actual film in the first couple minutes. 💀
Credit where it’s due. 👏
Pyro having friends is the most shocking part of this video
A girlfriend is even more shocking. Imagine liking someone that's into furry inflation farts.
they clearly werent inflated enough
Im surprised he was able to make it through without edging
There's no way critics expected a Blum house movie to be on the same level as The Shining or Candy Man...
In all honestly this movie was 5/10 fun bad movie.
By the way, it wasn't Freddy in that got in the taxi, it's supposed to be Golden Freddy, that's why he dissappeard after he brought Abby to the pizzaria
I keep seeing the point brought up regarding the fort and how she seemingly randomly said he would shoot him if he brought abby back.
but it's really not random, it's quite obvious that she was scared and knew what was going on. hence why you can see when they're in the back she is visibly afraid. It was even clarified that she knew what they wanted beforehand.
Obviously when she knows what they're capable of she isn't gonna do anything or say anything in front of them.
Oh my god yall are really reaching for this film. Please for the love of god watch something better
@@calebmartinez8336 How is that reaching..? 💀
@Errorz_ it's reaching because Vanessa was alone with Mike twice after he brought his sister to the big scary bear place, and she didn't say anything to him.
@@SillySweetSurpriseScott Cawthon can't write good lore at all, none of his lore makes sense and he has even admitted to changing it arbitrarily because theorists have guessed it, stop dick riding him and admit the movie was bad.
@@atvertues That's not true though? Although yes, they were technically alone twice, the first time was inside the supply closet where again, she was visibly afraid and questioned why he brought Abby. The second instance of being alone was outside the building, where she then told him to not bring her and threatened to shoot him if he did.
Pyro definitely would love any movie with furries.
I loved the part when William said his famous line "I can do this all day"
It’s a Blumhouse movie, go in with low expectations and I’m almost never disappointed.
Or you could just raise your standards and watch a good movie?

To everyone- The fnaf movie is not based individually about the game and book... The fnaf movie is based on both fnaf books and fnaf games
I love how you say "without giving any spoilers" then proceeds to spoil the whole movie
8:20 It's harder to see. but that's Golden Freddy, who technically doesn't exist and just kinda gets to teleport and stuff.
In the credits, you can hear the Puppet's Music Box theme and then her saying "Come Find Me" like in the Save Them Minigame of fnaf 2. So yeah, in about 5 years or so we can expect a second Fnaf Movie
that wasnt freddy it was golden freddy he can teleport basically anywhere thats how he got into the house
Pyro was probably upset that foxy wasn't fat and was farting the whole movie 😂
He looks kinda like Cassidy from the movie
It was truly 5 nights at the Freddy’s
As an American me and my friends joke while in theatres was when Vanessa said “I’ll shoot you” we both looked at each other and said “American police”
Thank you Pyro for bringing us new sloppy furry content of the day.

Definitely.
@@jakespacepiratee3740 What about it?
So are you like a hater of scott cawthon or something cause that's what it feels like it's his game deal with it
I've just seen the film and I can wholeheartedly say that forcing a Mature rating on it would be a mistake. It's light hearted and the gag of having BB be the only one to jumpscare in the whole film was hilarious and effective.
The fort and taxi scenes were amazing and Vanessa snapping at Mike did not seem that out of place going by what was implied.
Just like another comment said, terrible horror movie, but a good FNAF movie.
The r rated one would've been better
You know what? For a hardcore fnaf fan who adored the movie, I think Pyro’s review is very fair. He personally disliked the movie but he can at least acknowledge the aspects of the film that were genuinely good while also constructively criticizing the parts that were admittedly not so good. 10/10 review Pyro
3:25 pyro being the only one laughing at his joke was the cringe I needed today
Also they did try to stretch pg-13 to the limits, it’s that because fans are around that age, if y’all are gonna complain about pg 13, please be aware of the audience Fnaf is for. I don’t wanna sound stupid, but hopefully they’ll make a full cut that’s r rated so it can reach the best.
4:45 for context mikes little sister touched bonnies guitar which was a live wire shocking her and knocking her out that's why vanessa gets mad at mike since another kid got harmed at freddys which spoilers : she witnessed and knew her father killed the at freddys and stuffed them in the suits
So good to see that Pyro's voices in his head got their own body and laugh at his jokes at 3:05.
Truly in le head 😂😂😂
as someone who loves the lore, this movie was a hard watch just because of how far it strays from the original story and I just kept thinking "this makes no sense"
ESP with them removing the bite, phone guy, making Vanessa Will’s kid, and Will/Mike’s family dynamic being removed
All they did was simplify the storyline and keep the important aspects. It had to be done for some extent for the movie.
@@Bozo825 you could say that, but they also got rid of phone guy 😞😞
@@ijsxijijds8jcisj Yeah, would’ve been great if Scott Cawthon had reprised his role as Phone Guy for the movie, but alas.
Meanwhile, the books include a massively different take on the story. I don’t even recall anyone spending five nights at the restaurant in any of them.
1:00 That person didn't just roast Pyro, they burned his entire house down.
You're everywhere
He was expecting at least balloons being inflated but nope, none of that.
F
What would have been a good set up was if each night they covered a different kids death in mikes dream sequences that drop hints about William Afton, followed by an awake horror sequence of him evading, fighting off, and eventually appeasing the focus of the night. The “final night” is then a “boss fight” with Willy A where Mike uses his new knowledge of the suits to trigger a spring lock failure.
It does speak volumes that the random evil aunt is more of a driving force for the plot than the dude who’s the reason that there’s haunted animatronics.
The thing about fnaf is that it was always a bit campy. The VHS tapes make people think it’s a lot darker than it’s supposed to be and while it has some gore, it’s still pretty pg-13.
The games are about mauled dead children being stuffed into stinky, bloody robots by a serial killer and reawakening to do the same with grown men. The first game with all its limitations even shows a corpse with disembodied eyes coming out of an animatronic. The fnaf franchise was built on this disturbing gory mistery, thats why the vhs tapes exist and the fnaf movie comes out as toothless
@@gabrieletraini3849then again, there comes a point where the games start to take themselves less seriously. Exotic Butters, the blueprint system, Fnaf world, Baby questioning the player’s decisions, Vlad & his wife, Fnaf world, candy cadet, Mr. Hippo’s stories, the reward cutscenes in UCN, Fnaf world, all the troll releases, the jar of pickles being a selectable option for the 6 restaurant, handiunit, etc.
Oh and Fnaf World.
@@Rclarke115 yeah but thats when the franchise got complacent and started aiming for the new target audience, those same kids scott realized comprised most of the fanbase are now adults so in my honest opinion they should have been more authentic to the original idea and vibe of the series. The movie came out toothless
This is the most brain dead take I've seen being passed around and it doesn't make sense to me
At this point I'm cool with the rating because there are good engaging pg13 horror films
But acting as if kids getting brutally murdered and stuffed into suits
A guy literally having his internal organs ripped out and replaced with wires
A girl getting crushed inside of an animatronic robot
Another guy getting sliced and impaled by a suit and then going on to rot for 30 years and then having instances where he pulls his head off and shows it to us in very EXPLICIT DETAIL NOT SUITED FOR KIDS isn't scary or dark as hell
Then you're beyond convincing
Horror can be campy and STILL BE SCARY it's been done plenty of times it doesn't even need to be gory it just needs to be scary
It's a horror movie not a thriller movie
I loved the film but it was not scary. It also was more to the fans which is a bit of a shame. To be honest, when Scott announced which one they were doing, I thought it was going to be about Michael Afton discovering his fathers crimes while reliving past traumas.
That probably would’ve been better, actually.
When freddy said "the real five nights was the friends we made along the way" at the end of the film i cried. 10/10
Only pyro wouldn't know the difference between freddy and Golden freddy -10/10 slop
matt wasn't contracted to help them write the story lmao what are you talking about. scott wrote and help direct the movie. he just wanted to include matpat for a short cameo because of him being very important to the community. that's it.
also not to be an "um actually" type of nerd but golden freddy doesn't have a physical body and he can teleport. so him apperaing in the house out of nowhere wasn't a plot hole
You forgot the tiny detail of the sister almost getting electrocuted to death after the fort scene and before the "I'm going to shoot you" scene
For context. Golden Freddy was an illusion. Explaining how he was out the house.
Seeing the performance of Pyro's dad as Foxy the Pirate had me tearing up from how beautiful it was.
The freddy in the taxi was golden freddy, a ghost basically.
Let's all appreciate how Pyro never fails to make our days worse with greasy slop
bro at least listen to critics it has some good points. The movies have flaws
Dolan fan
What exactly is your complaint? You disagree with him? Did that make your day worse?
The best part was when matpat said “pyrolive is dogshit” everyone cheered in the theater.
the main thing that ruined it for me was how long the slumber party which 1. was really out of place and made the film feel like it’s having a identity crisis 2. meant we missed out on other stuff that could be actual horror 3. they butchered the foxy ball pit scene which was when in the trailers i was actually expecting horror just for it to be cut off and kinda end it was purely trailer footage
That was golden Freddy in the car not freddy
Golden Freddy is a hallucination with powers or some shit
With how much lore the FNAF series has, I think they should have made 2 films and give a more natural pacing to all the events
So every game would end up being 2 movies per game? That’s a lotttt of movies.
Additionally they’re still unsure if they will be able to do a second movie with the strike going on.
If they had left a cliffhanger by leaving the story open, there would be even more reason to fund a sequel
Apparently Matthew Lilard had signed a 3 movie deal, and considering the success of this one, we can likely expect a trilogy
theyre gonna have 2 more movies dw
2:58 i was driving by the cinema and noticed a small detail on the fnaf movie poster had the "now showing" falling off and when i pointed it out my mother called it...
five freddys
😂
I thought Vanessa telling Mike that she'll shoot him was to despite the fact that their being friendly with Ashley because the animatronics are more dangerous than the accidental electrocution of Bonnie's guitar and Vanessa snapping out of her trance.
*SPOILER* : it really felt like i was having a fever dream in the middle of the movie when the animatronics were just hanging out with them like it was whatever.
It's such a shame Pyro wasn't cast for Foxy the Pirate and be made thicker but hindsight is 20/20
markiplier was suppose to be the nightguard at the beginning of the film.
but they couldnt schedual it
Thank you pyro for the daily sloppy. Keep up the good work
I get why some people dislike it but I don’t really care I loved it!
I would recommend it to anyone who wants something good to watch 10/10 great movie :)
so many people like that im a fan and i care but i also understand why some people don't care
Did pyro skip the fact that the freddy who rode the taxi had teleporting powers implied when the robot literally disappeared in thin air after mike looked back? The freddy had to use the cab because it had the kid at that point and couldn’t teleport.
Not really into fnaf but I assume it was a different freddy than the one part of the in stage because there were 5 kids that got offed and it was more destroyed and rusted compared to stage freddy.
Film had problems but I think that one was just a nitpick from pyro
he said he knew nothing about fnaf lore so he's not hiding anything he just didn't know
Yes the other Freddy’s name is “Golden Freddy” or “Yellow Freddy” which is the name of it in the first games, game files
The literal most obvious reason for Fred bear/golden Freddy / Freddy getting to Abby's house but then calling a cab is because now they had to get Abby to the pizzeria. They obviously didn't live that close and it wouldve been next to impossible to lead a little girl back the pizzeria. Kids tend to get lost easy and don't like to walk extreme distances. It wouldve been a pain in the ass for Freddy to try to make her walk back
Pyro never fails to fill us up with his hot sticky content
I love being filled by pyros hot sticky content
Why are we acting like Vanessa was crazy telling mike to not bring his sister back. It wasn’t out of no where. They were all having a fun time with the fort, then Mike’s sister strummed Bonnie’s guitar and there was that explosion. That’s what triggered her to say that.
I did think the movie was bad, but fun for me tho. But lots of things drag or do not really make sense. The balloon boy jumpscares was really funny to me for some reason
The "scary killer robots" being friendly felt really stupid to me, like something like that removes all horror from them instantly
It also felt very tame like its ment to be an horror but an kid friendly movie at the same time, which makes no sense because it got 16+ slapped on it anyway (in my country at least)
The robots being friendly was mostly the movie trying to make the ghost kids actually characters instead of just "scary ghost that kills everyone for usually no reason". The problem is that doing this kinda ruins the horror aspect because seeing the animatronics be friendly means that we see them as goofy even after they become scary killer robots again after getting mad at Mike. Basically the movie struggles in balancing it's very different tones caused by the spirits having motivations other than murder.
@@mcblazehunter6888 Yeah, it's almost like "Do you guys wanna be killer robots or not?! MAKE UP YOUR MINDS!"
