EARLY ACCESS: Five Nights at Freddy's FULL REACTION

Five Nights at Freddy's, missed the mark for us. Josh Hutcherson takes the lead in this film as a troubled security guard. He embarks on a night-time job at a deserted family entertainment center, only to uncover a chilling secret — its four animatronic mascots spring to life and have a penchant for murder. The film also features notable supporting performances by Elizabeth Lail, Piper Rubio, Mary Stuart Masterson, and Matthew Lillard.

The animatronics are a highlight, combining practical effects and CGI to create lifelike and terrifying characters. The filmmakers have done justice to the iconic Freddy Fazbear and his companions, making them as unsettling on screen as they are in the games.

We're unsure if a better grasp of the game might have improved our experience with this film. While it had its moments, establishing a connection proved to be a challenge. The actors performed admirably given their roles, yet an overarching connection remained elusive. Despite some commendable highlights, the film failed to fully engage us.

What was your reaction? What did we miss here?

EARLY ACCESS: Five Nights at Freddy's FULL REACTION

Never thought I would see Diamond Dave with the highest rating haha

As someone who only has 2 days worth of knowledge about the lore (I watched Smosh's videos on YT), this movie was fairly enjoyable for me! Probably a 3/5. I would love to see you guys play the video games! VR seems scary as hell but I'm also a big scaredy cat

Hailey

You Guys Should Definitely Watch Willys Wonderland And Compare The Two Because They're Very Alike But Willys Is Way Better. Thanks For The Content Fellas !!!

There's a chance for a few things coming that could maybe involve doing something more for this. :)

Badd Medicine

hahahahaha.... we will always remind him of that.

I never cared for Five Nights at Freddy's but I thought the movie was okay. I can tell it was made with passion and desire behind it, but I just wasn't part of the target audience and I think you guys weren't either. Not every movie is going to resonate with everyone at the end of the day. I love Oak disliking the Last Airbender live action movie so much that he actually forgot it was the worst movie he'd seen on the channel. 😂

Marco Gutierrez

Honestly, Nicholas Cage's movie "Willy's Wonderland" did better and it wasn't even based on the game and the people behind it swear there was no inspiration. However, it definitely screams FNAF. I've played FNAF and while I wasn't a big fan, I was excited for the movie. It missed the mark for me as well. But, I am glad to see Mathew Lillard (even if the "twist" was obvious with his casting). He did amazing as usual!

Megan

Silent hill is better imo - This was a bit of a miss for me tbh

SilverDoe🎔

You guys should watch a lore video or play the games ! There’s a lot of

Nicholas Scala

If you guys ever take on gaming for the channel I vote for this game lol much better than the movie

yeah 20m budget for like 1 or 200m in like 2 weeks

Pedestrian

As someone with extensive knowledge of the 13 games I hated this movie the first time, but now I see the vision. This is actually secretly a classic and I look forward to the sequels

J Knight

Sadly this was a disappointment for me. 🤷‍♀️ I was either hoping for a truly scary movie with this, or something to really keep me interested in it. And it did neither. I love Josh Hutcherson though and I think he did great and they did a great job with the design and throwing it back to the game, but otherwise I just didn't enjoy it. It's not horrible but it's not a movie I think I'll ever feel like rewatching.

Sarah

I felt pretty much the same way. It's like it was ALMOST good...but fell short on connecting the dots. The individual scenes were a highlight, but then it would yadda-yadda to the next scene and just hope we came along.

Jessi

I did like this movie. It wasn't as good as I hoped it would be but as a fan of the game and the lore I stilled enjoyed it. I think somethings could have been done better but the lore is soooo complicated by now and the premise is kinda weird already. This is ment to be a love letter to fans and the YouTubers who helps the franchise hence all the cameos and easter eggs.

Emma Donoghue

While a lot of fans are happy about it, this movie is absolutely not made for people who are new to the franchise. You're supposed to have a working understanding of the lore of the universe before watching the movie. I thought it was all right but I had to have my friend explain a lot of it to me afterwards

Gandheezy

I had a feeling this one would miss the mark for you guys. 😅 I talked to some friends about it after catching the movie in theaters. We agreed that it’s easily a movie made for the fans. For my friends and I who are familiar with the community and source material we had a fun time catching the references and cameos, gave it a solid, fun 7.5/10. Can definitely tell a lot of heart went into it for the fans. But for people who are unfamiliar going in, it’s really not that great of a movie and pretty mediocre sadly. Definitely could’ve used more in the scare/horror category but I can see they tried to play it safer for the targeted demographic. I’m hoping they keep in mind the feedback to improve the viewing for both audiences in the sequel. (Sorry for formatting, I’m on mobile rn lol.)

Badd Medicine

Well, they can’t all be TLOU, huh.

Cl4-tp gaming Channel

Yeah with Fnaf the games are pretty straight forward. But theres hidden lore thats hard to find and things hidden in source codes to the game. Freeze frames of small details changing. A whole community has been trying to figure out the complete story for 8 years now. Theres even books 😂. So your reaction is understandable its aloooooot.

Rhyea

It made a good amount of money it's first week. Gotta imagine this made it's money back.

Badd Medicine

Ahhhh then that makes sense. Interesting thought from them, but makes sense.

Badd Medicine

We figured that some that have knowledge of the game would probably get it all more so then not knowing. Good to see you enjoyed it. 🤘🤙

Badd Medicine

Looking forward to your thoughts if you watch it

Badd Medicine

I'm with Answer— I would LOVE to see you guys react to the first game! It's so simple, straightforward, and effectively scary. I was a big fan of the first game and how well it was able to build tension with such simple game mechanics and minimal graphics. I was hoping they would keep the story in the movie just as uncomplicated, but oh well. I know a lot of fans really enjoyed it.

JessTellsTales

I believe one of the creators/or someone working on the movie even said that it wasn’t meant for people who are new to fnaf, like if you are not a very lore-based fan then it would not be meant for you, i’m not 100% sure about that because i just saw a video of someone saying that.. take with a grain of salt what I say

Lydia

As someone who does follow lore and have a soft spot for fnaf. I actually like the movie. We usually get pretty bad video game based movies. And its pretty decent to me especially since alot of the fanbase is kids.

Rhyea

Hey! Glad youre reacting to Fnaf movie. After reading the reaction. (Still going to watch btw) just wanted to say that the movie is more for lore fans than anything. And kids. If you noticed the waiter ness is MatPat from game theory on youtube who has done tons of videos on fnaf. You should definitely react to and check those out!!! Love your channel! Fingers crossed for studio ghibli movies soon 💗

Rhyea

Completely agree. I never really played the games outside of a handful of times, but it was pretty disappointing. Was really excited for this one because I love Josh Hutcherson and Matthew Lillard, but ended up being let down.

Steven K

Never heard of this movie 😆😆

Josip Buretić

Never played the game but somewhat understand the premise I found the police officer to be frustrating I felt her story could have been told earlier to establish a bit more of what we were dealing with, without giving away the ending

Victoria Davis

lol. Knew it would miss the mark. Most of the fanbase grew up playing the video games and it was marketed toward kids. I'm a generation older and didn't get it, either.

Money-Kate Olsen

Excited for this one!
