FNAF the movie was bad. But the one thing that is annoying me is I cannot find anyone else in the world commenting about how Aunt Judy is killed by Golden Freddy in the family living room (btw, they can just leave the pizzeria now), and then at the end of the film they all go home and eat breakfast the next morning. No comment on the corpse rotting in their living room.
It's just a massive oversight on the part of the filmmakers. It ties in nicely with the lack of scares and chills, the bewildering plot line, and massive under-utilization of some of the game's own tropes. IDK what they were trying to do with this movie, but that was some of the tamest "horror" I've ever seen in my life. And the only reason that is remarkable is because the game series it is based on is much scarier.
So, my concluding remark is that the movie is bad whether you are familiar with FNAF or if it is your first exposure to the franchise.
Like, the theater I was at had a full audience of rowdy teens, so they were suitably entertained
Me, I was just like "Okay, why are you yelling about this taxi driver" and then I looked it up and he's some YouTuber
And this is what film is going to be for a while, Glup Shitto-style "I recognize this!" garbage
I watched it at home with my girlfriend. FNAF is pretty dead to us by now because of how awful the latest releases of the games have been, now with this turd cherry of a film on top. But we first experienced it together in college when it was a novel thing. There really wasn't anything like it before, which made it exciting and fresh at the time. But that goodwill with the series has been spoiled, and it's very tired and lazy now.
I wouldn't be surprised if teenagers have lower standards, though.
FNAF the movie was bad.
How does it compare to Willy's Wonderland?
It doesn't even come close. Our neurodivergent protagonist who always takes his full breaks is the coolest, and will always be the coolest.
never played FNAF but I remember it being a thing children were into in the mid 2010's it couldn't have been all that horrific.
The thing about the games is if you are playing them alone in the dark they maintain good tension during the play session, which is why they're scary. It was popular with younger audiences because it was easy to share, make your friends play it, ridiculously simple to play (you only need a mouse and to click a few things on the screen), and, notably, not violent.
I played it once like a decade ago and spilled my drink from the jump scare that following them with the cameras allows.
Basically, she's just a device to justify why someone would stay past the first night
Which is why nobody says boo when she's dead, because she wasn't really a character to begin with
after watching that trash i'm super fucking worried about how blumhouse will massacre the upcoming Dead by Daylight movie.
i'm hoping the fnaf movie is more a reflection of cawthorn being his usual dickhead idiot self than blumhouse blowing it, but who knows
