A night-time security guard must survive his shifts at an abandoned pizza restaurant filled with murderous animatronic mascots.
FNaF fans, rejoice! It has taken nine years, but the movie adaptation of the Five Nights at Freddy’s video game series has finally arrived.
Josh Hutcherson stars as Mike Schmidt, a troubled security guard who accepts a job at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza, a family entertainment centre that was shuttered in the ’80s after several children went missing.
Mike soon realises why the job has a high turnover; the restaurant’s animatronic mascots – Freddy Fazbear, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy – become hostile during the night.
Five Nights at Freddy’s should have been a simple, straightforward horror set in one location with Mike going up against the murderous robots. But instead, we get a convoluted, messy story that is not remotely scary.
Because director Emma Tammi and co. wanted a PG-13 rating in the U.S. (it’s a 15 in the U.K.), the film cuts away before we see any violence or gore. We hear the killings...
