Five Night's at Freddy's: REVIEW
30 OCTOBER 2023
After a 9-year wait the Five Night's at Freddy's movie breaks British box-offices.
The Five Night's at Freddy's movie dominated the British box-office this Halloween weekend. The movie has made nearly £5.4M in the UK since its release on Oct 25th, according to the Film Distributers' Association.
Based on the hit video-game series of the same name, by Scott Cawthon, the movie tells the story of the dilapidated 1980's Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. Staring Matthew Lillard, as villain William Afton, and Josh Hutcherson, as Freddy's newest security guard Mike. For certain older audiences, like myself, who remember when the game first came out in 2014, this movie hits the nostalgia spot.
Lillard was perfectly cast for the deranged antagonist, his mannerisms and unsettling demeanour completely contrasted that of when he played Shaggy in the Scooby-Doo live action movies.
The original game, which features jumpscares and Freddy's iconic Toreador March music box, was first released back in 2014, and a movie was discussed for many year, without fruition..... until now.
Unlike its game counterpart, the movie was hindered by its age rating (15 in the UK, and 13 in the USA). The movie successfully captured the atmosphere of the original game, even down to the small details in the security office.
Personally, I have been following the promotional material and advertisements for the movie, but one thing I noticed was that a lot of scenes didn't make the final cut (at least here in the UK).
If you hadn't seen gameplay of FNAF, with YouTuber's like Markiplier, or followed the theorists, like MatPat (who made a surprise appearance in the movie), I think a cinema viewer would easily get lost in the twisted tale of the pizzeria.
As a long-time fan of this franchise, I was so glad I was able to indulge back into the horrors of Fazbear Entertainment once again.
Despite it's Rotten Tomatoes Critics vote of 29%, fans have rated it 89%.
The Five Night's at Freddy's movie is out now in cinemas across the UK and USA, and available on Peacock.
