the FNAF movie is kinda dumb...

I love how they put MatPat in the FNAF movie just to have him say "that's just a theory" Pure gold.

Can we all just take a moment to say Mike is screwed. His Aunt who he was in a legal case with is dead at his house. His place of employment is gone, and employer dead, or dieing. Vanessa was nearly dead from the same place, and was dropped off at a hospital by Mike. There was no witness to what happened, and mike has a history with strong drugs. He's going to jail. Sequel better be named 5 nights at prison.

I was a bit disappointed that they didn't show anything like the actual gameplay, with Mike hiding in the security room while the animatronics try to break in.

"Is it about scary robots? Is it a guy fighting for custody of his sister? Is it about a guy dealing with his dark past? Is it about a girl dealing with her abusive dad? Cause right now this movie is trying to be all of them at the same time." Welcome to the FNaF lore my friend.

I feel like this movie is only properly enjoyed by people who are already familiar with the lore. Otherwise...

I personally think it needed more jumpscares.

There's a few things that Alex gets wrong here: 1. The aunt wants Abby so she can get money from the state 2. Mike doesn't take the pills because he has trouble falling asleep, he takes them to keep having that same dream. 3. Mike and Vanessa weren't kidnapped, they snuck in and Vanessa took him into a bunker. 4. William wasn't only locked in a closet, the springlocks in his suit went off, so he was being slowly crushed and impaled and left to die in the closet.

My kids have been way deep in the FNAF lore and slowly sucked me in too. It’s so weirdly dark and disturbing, how the heck did this become a thing for kids? Of course we had those twisted “Are you afraid of the dark?” stories when I was a kid, so I can’t really say anything.

I love it as a FNAF fan, but as a regular person, I can't say much else. I don't feel like someone who hasn't had any experience with the games or books will enjoy it as much

I feel like Alex missed so much here. The killer didn't just get locked in the storage room, the springlocks were activated causing them to pierce his skin. This was clearly explained in an earlier scene. Also, Mike's dad didn't "leave" it's heavily implied he "unalived" himself.

Super important to realize that this movie is more of a thriller and less of a straight-up horror movie. They could have made it rated R and gone all out with the gore, but there are plenty of young/teenage fans that also want to see the movie, so they decided to make it PG-13 instead to allow them to have access to it and not completely traumatize them. Hence the emphasis on the story and the tension with more implied kills instead of onscreen ones.

I didn't expect it to be a masterpiece, but it's definitely a sweet celebration of the series and fanbase. The characters were well done, the set designs were really good, and for once, a child was actually written like a child actually acts like. Like, I wasn't expecting Abby to be so adorable, but the way she interacts with Freddy and the gang was so cute.

At least it wasn’t a flop. It was good enough for the fans. And I’m happy for that. Honestly, it’s crazy how Scott a single dude made it this far.

The biggest disappointment I had with the film is not once does Mike ever have to hole up in the office and stop the animatronics getting in. Granted, I’m not sure how they would have gone about that since the robots are a little more intelligent than they are in the games and don’t stop at 6 A.M., but it’s like one of the core parts of the games, y’know?

Honestly fascinating because I only ever played a few minutes of the original game so I knew nothing about the lore and I found myself very interested in the story and the lore that I honestly didn't even know was in the game until one of my friends told me after i watched it. I thought it was a very well-made movie. This is why I'm convinced when I get into the industry people won't like my movies, I seem to love a whole lot of movies that people really don't like.

I honestly really wished they did it like the horror movie origin stories like Michael Meyers or Leatherface. There’s so much back story to William Afton and what drove him to do it and his descent into madness until he was so far gone he wasn’t even human anymore and just about anybody who was a part of his life suffered for it. At least then the whole “the movie was meant for the fans” would feel more like it since it’s got a majority of the pieces from the game series and ties it all together to tell the big story. Also just scrap the whole Vanessa nonsense, he had PLENTY of children to pick from that already came with their own trauma packages.

I feel that we should normalize franchises making movies that are for fans. Not every movie has to bring in masses of new fans. I respect Scott’s decision to serve his current fan community rather than make a greedy attempt to increase the community.

Both Matpat and CoryxKenshin, two guys who've really gotten into the FNAF franchise getting to be in this movie, it's awesome!!!

The fact about the many plot twists in the movie makes sense that it’s a lot for the plot since the fnaf fans know the lore is big, REALLY big. It makes sense that it would make the movie pretty confusing for people without knowledge of the game.
