As a fan of the games since FNAF 2, I can only describe this movie as a love letter for fans. It wasn't without its flaws, but I do think it was worth the 8 year wait, and that Blumhouse were the perfect people for it. I'm very curious to see how they continue to make future sequels!
@CarnoxEditzI don’t think anyone who likes FNAF really HATES it. I notice that there are two types of FNAF fans; those who wanted a hood FNAF Movie and those who wanted a good movie, and those who came in expecting a good movie were more disappointed than anything
The fact that Aunt Jane died in the house of her nephew whom shes currently in the midst of a custody battle with, and no law authority seems to notice or care was the funniest part imo
Not gonna lie, when the springtrap scene happened, I thought it was gonna happen off screen or we would see a silhouette of the springtrap with Williams screams in the background, but what we actually got surprised me a little, even with the close ups of blood on his body. When he said, "I always come back," my whole theater went insane, which shows me that I was surrounded by true FNAF fans.
@@Supl3xcityyeah I got excited as well! Amazing movie I liked how it went! Maybe he got somewhat defeated before hand and that’s why he’s saying I always come back. 9/10 for me
The ending does make a lot of sense if you really think about it. Seeing him look down at the mask and him actively knowing he managed to get the kids to haunt the suits means he knew that once he was springlocked it was over but he knew he would die and haunt the suit like the kids and in the process him saying he always comes back was to taunt them all in a way so that theyd maybe believe he wasn't truly dead.
I think the movie mostly implies two about Vanessa: - she was a witness to the murders and helping Abby helps ease her guilt of not doing anything - the answer of how Vanessa did what she did is easy: FEAR
@@drewq463Her taking a job as a cop could be her way of coping with the childhood trauma of seeing/ helping with the murders and her way of potentially helping prevent stuff like that from happening again
@@drewq463 probibly to keep things under the rug for her dad, what better then a cop to turn a blind eye? I belvie Afton actuly mentioned how she was saposed to keep things hidden in the scene were he is attacking her, though i might need to rewatch
He said he always comes back because he knows he's going to come back after his death. That's why he put the mask on. He knows how possession works, and he knows that if the children could come back through the animatronics, so could he.
I think it would’ve worked better if he said “I will always come back” as it would’ve made the scene make more sense since he hadn’t died yet, which would lead into possible later movies he says the actual line of “I always come back”
I think the reason why my theater jumped up in excitement when vanessa said "His name is William Afton" Is because it was lowkey a surprise a Tincy wincey bit because we thought they would just completely change William's name for movies sake but no they said THE NAME.
Little bit of info: the picture of the yellow rabbit is what tricked the spirits into working for Afton. When spirits die in fnaf they forget pretty much everything. Because pictures hold deep meaning to children the fact that the yellow rabbit was in the center of the photo they consider him there leader.
I really loved this movie. Only thing I wish would have happened is a Scott Cawthon cameo as Phone Guy. Other than that is was the best FNAF movie it could be in my opinion.
I can relate, I believe i found 3C films during the pandemic and I’ve been hooked since then. Always love coming to see what movie news there is, this is my go to channel 🙏🏼
As a fan from the start. Starting with markipliers gameplays, I felt like this closed off my childhood. Going from being a child to now a freshman in college, It felt like the chapter of my childhood closed. Matthew Lillard never disappoints as well.
so, matthew lilard did confirm that he signed a 3 picture deal for fnaf, so this is how I think they should do the next 2 confirmed movies. I personally think for the next movie it should be a prequal, explaining the "afton era", and how he went insane following the death of the crying child (bite of '83). Then the 3rd movie should be all the springtrap stuff, and possibly even going as far as fnaf 6, and the fire, which could close out the trilogy perfectly, as it should have for the games.
Just got done watching matpat talk about it! Markiplier was supposed to be the security guard that died...but yeah I'm right there with ya I have a basic knowledge of it so it was fun for me the ending was really intense!
my teenage daughter was so scared they would destroy this movie. i also went into it with some sort of knowledge also because she played the game years ago also my nephew...but we were so into it i had a smile on my face the whole time. the ending had all of us screaming with applaud with the crowd. i rated this movie 10/10
The experience I had watching this yesterday was amazing ESPECIALLY when we saw mattpat & he said part of his iconic line “it’s just a theory” my audience cheered Even when we saw Cory ‘ oh my goodness was it cute seeing Freddy and his gang being absolutely adorable to Abby 🥹 overall this movie was such a gem. when William Afton was finally in the springbonnie suit I couldn’t stop smiling ear to ear & my god when the living tombstone played for the end credits my audience once again went absolutely insane & we even sung along to it lol. 😅 & although the movie wasn’t received well, this movie became my favorite of 2023 & it’s a nice memory to remember.
I’ve been a fan since fnaf 2, and this is honestly everything I wanted. If you’re complaining I don’t think you understand how much Blumhouse clearly wanted to respect the franchise and fans as much as possible. Thank you Blumhouse ❤
That doesn’t automatically stop people from having criticism. It’s ok to enjoy it still, I liked it quite a bit, but understand that just because it’s only made for fans doesn’t automatically mean it’s an objectively 10/10 movie. I still had problems with the movie and I’m a fan of this series as well.
That doesn’t automatically disqualify it from any criticism. The movie was OK at best sorry to say. The only reason people like you are raving about it is because of your allegiance to the franchise while wearing rose tinted glasses. There’s a reason most outsiders of the franchise aren’t giving it great reviews. If you loved it then that’s awesome and I’m happy for you, but let’s not pretend like this is some perfect movie with 0 flaws. You can want to respect the original franchise and it’s fans all you want, but wanting to succeed and actually succeeding are 2 totally different things.
@biofitanatomy well seeing how Scott himself.was on set and had pretty much final say on everything I'd have to say they didn't mess the lore up at all. It's clearly gonna be more then one film
@@3CFilmsit really was. I sat next to this nerd friend group and they talked throughout the entire film. Everyone talked throughout the film actually. It was almost all teenagers in there watching the movie as fans. It was awesome. I had a fun time too
When I watched the movie, my theories were going crazy. I believe Mike’s Dad would be the “Henry Emily” in the movie and Garret would be the Puppet. The “Come Find Me” would most likely be Garret speaking to Mike, or William speaking to Vanessa.🎉🎉
When Mike told Vanessa about his kidnapped younger brother, she should have had a line saying that she also had a younger brother that passed when she was younger. She can say something like “it made my father go crazy” and then later when she reveals who her father is Mike puts together the whole “your father who went crazy” They also needed to add a moment where Mike questioned why Afton was his career counselor and Afton explaining it was his way to lay low with a fake name.
You can see the marionette’s eyes shine when mike first peaks back stage on night 1. Some one on twitter increased the exposure and you can even see the mask
the puppets theme music is played at the end credits and then afterwards the words “come find me” were spelt out in a robotic voice, hinting that maybe the puppet is somewhere in the movie and we’ve missed it.
Actually I believe that might be the Endoskeleton Tina. It was an endo they made on the set and put it in a bunch of random scenes in the dark as a little Easter egg i believe
To touch on the Springtrap reveal scene - it was cool being in there with all manner of people. The gasps when Afton took off the mask we’re priceless tbh. I think that was a pretty good setup and it seemed like the payoff was well worth it
As a casual fan who gave up on the series after Sister Location, I actually quite liked what we were given. I will say I think the Springlock scene could’ve been done better (I was thinking have most of it be in the shadows and have sound design carry the scene, like bones crunching, blood gushing, metallic parts moving, etc. I’m surprised how much of it we saw though). I hope the sequel will do kinda what Sonic movie 2 did (to compare it to another video game adaptation) where the first movie was fine, but the sequel improves upon it for both Fans of the source material and also for general movie goers.
I already saw it on Peacock but I just had to see it in theaters. I’m glad I did because my audience was absolutely legendary. Everybody really cheered and went all out with their reactions.
For me I liked the children of the corn vibes and the Chucky cheese vibes. Took me down memory lane from when I was a kid. I also liked that Corey Kenshin got his moment to shine.
My mom and I went to watch it the other day, and I couldn't have been more excited for her to finally see what I've been obsessed with for the past eight years of my life. I remember when the movie was playing out, she was connecting dots and learning the story in a new way. For the first time, she had no knowledge of the games. The sound of her voice when she said, "I actually liked that a lot, and it was interesting," left me feeling incredibly thankful. While there were certain flaws in parts of the movie that made it feel a bit disjointed, and some scenes left you scratching your head, I was more or less just so happy to see this movie officially out.
I really think we will get flashbacks with Matthew Lillard through the sequel. I especially HOPE Markiplier gets to be the bite of ‘87 victim! I feel like it’d be so poetic since he’s the most popular meme in the franchise. I’m really hoping Scott explores more of Afton’s story in the second one!
How would that work….the bite happened to a kid. Mark is a 50 year old man. And no way with that nose his whole head would get in a mouth like that anyway.
@@jude7225Mark is 34, and the usual understanding is that there are two bites: the bite of 83 and the bite of 87, the bite of 83 happened to the crying child while the bite of 87 happened to an employee. And it’s possible they might just go a different route considering that Vanessa is Afton’s daughter in the movie
I’m 100% sure that one of the cut scene is when Vanessa asked Mike why did he bring Abby and he said he can’t find a babysitter, they shown it in the trailer but in the movie Mike didn’t say anything at all
For me, this film made me TRULY fear William Afton. I am OBSESSED with him in this film. An awesome portrayal by Matthew Millard! The best choice they could have picked to play William Afton.
The scene where William pushes Mike in his Springbonnie costume was really good, I wish Springbonnie had more screen time and we could have seen a Mike Vs Springbonnie scene, Maybe it will happen in the next Movies.
10:30 I was expecting the movie to use something from the book to explain this, like revealing he used her for his experiments and was messing with her mind to keep her on his side. Hell, I was almost expecting her to be the Charlie of this story. I agree with the "I always come back" line. One thing I would have done, show a flashback of him preforming in character and at the end of the show he cheerfully closes with something like, "But don'tcha worry! I will come back! I always come back!" That was my biggest gripe with the movie, it played things way to safe. The games and books get insanely weird, sometimes outright ridiculous, but it's these moments that help shape the stories into the horrific nightmares they truly are. Imagine if Afton had repurposed the vandals and reanimated them as human/Animatronic hybrids? What about corrupted videos/dreams with faces distorting twitching? Another thing I would have loved to see would have been a look at that springlock suits through blueprints or test video or something to give us a more clear idea how the locks look open and how they look when closed, painting a clear picture how badly it could mangle someone... Imagine how much worse this would be if Afton, putting the mask back on in a desperate attempt to control the spirits, and then one by one they activate the locks. He screams as blood stains start forming on the suit, leaking out the cracks... Then finally, the locks in the mask go off, blood spits out the mouth, he screaming is muffled... And then he drops down as a lifeless husk and the Animatronics drag him away. Then, for a post credits stinger, we get the scene of him being left in the back room focusing on his lifeless body. Slowly panning in, then "He will come back" starts whispering, over and over, faster, more voices joining until it zooms in on one of the mask eyes, it lights up as we hear a sickening, gargling gasp of air - cut to black "He always does."
So with Vanessa, im assuming shes the Micheal afton of this universe and she (and her friends which are the mci kids) caused the bite of 83. William kills her friend as punishment and blames her fir the whole thing for the rest of her life. Which after that kinda trauma and abuse it’s reasonable to believe she’d do anything he says… it’ll probably be covered in the sequel
I'm really hoping that the sequel explains more of the lore with William Afton, maybe shows us some flashbacks, hopefully introduces the Puppet, just more lore that fans are familiar with
I think Williams knows he'll possess the Spring Bonnie suit, and thats why he says his line, but your right, the delivery was weird. I think they should have went with him being dragged away and saying something like "Ill come back!" during the post-credit scene.
I loved this movie, and funny to mention I took my dad to watch it and he doesn’t know the movie or games but he figured out who the yellow rabbit was a.k.a Springtrap when Vanessa was talking to Mike about his brother’s kidnapper, but he ended up liking it and he doesn’t play the games or heard of it. I was surprised and happy when they played the FNAF 1 song from the living tombstone at the beginning of the end credits, my whole theater and me screamed and clapped for this awesome fan made song being in the movie.
Honestly if it was 3 hours and they showed Williams killings and maybe him going around before the place shut down and actually see him do stuff would’ve been amazing And maybe a chase seen with him More jump scares and horror parts would’ve been cool too
i feel like the second film will be longer and show more lore, i at least wanna see 2 hours and a half for the next movie, im hoping the next movie can be better too with a bigger budget they have
Before watching the movie there was rumors of the secret animatronics being the puppet and balloon boy. Turns out it was the fan made sparky the dog and Ella the doll which I didn’t expect. The twist with Vanessa I didn’t see coming just bc it’s Elizabeth afton not Vanessa afton. When those credits started rolling and the living tombstone started playing I was jamming out to my childhood. I had lots of fun even with the kid friendly horror vibes and rushed finale. Seeing Matpat was great I was laughing so hard cause my mind didn’t process it was him at first even got his signature catchphrase 💀. Either fnaf 3 gets adapted next or sister location with the end credits scene being like the games showing springtrap coming back from a broken down pizzeria which was fazbear frights. I just really want to see the Funtime animatronics be adapted practically especially ennard but the puppet has to show up eventually tho.
Springlocks introduction is probably one of my favorite scenes in any movie. The way they shot it, lit it, the music, the breathing, it was so intense. The movie was fine. I enjoyed it, but that scene was great.
I think they could still pull off the whole crying child thing in the sequel through flash backs, and it was Vanessa’s younger brother that died before she was born so then that way William can still have his motive
I really did want to see more of Matthew as William. All I wanted more of after watching was for that scene to be longer. Also in terms of his line, I feel like he was saying it more towards the animatronics. He was smiling, knowing that he’ll put on the mask and possess the suit once he dies. He was telling them that this little “rebellion” they put up against him was for nothing, that they aren’t stopping him. It seems that his relationship with the souls is more like that of an abusive father, kinda how he already is to his real child. Again, it would’ve been cool to see more of that in action. Overall the movie was a real achievement for Fnaf, and I love it for what it is. If there’s one consistent double-edged sword about Fnaf it’s that there’s always room for improvement.
So they don't mention it in the movie, but you can see scars on his neck. In the silver eyes, he got spring locked twice, the first time dint really kill him, but it gave him a strange connection to the suit, so he kinda died and came back, I think that is what they did here
I LOVE THIS MOVIE!! I saw with my dad and I’ve been waiting for this movie since i was little. The critics can be really harsh, but everyone knows that everyone in this movie put their fazballs in this.
The critics are harsh because I hate to break it to you, but this is not a good movie. Unless you’re a hyper fan of the franchise, this is a mediocre film at absolute best. Yes I’m aware this was made for the fans, but it’s kind of absurd for fans to not understand why outsiders think this movie was pretty ass. As a very casual fan of FNAF, I can admit it was cool to see Freddy Fazbear’s brought to life with the animatronics and all the other references. But as a fan of cinema, it was really underwhelming.
@@h2owl205I thought it was a 8/10 I like fnaf and if you know the lore you could tell they rushed it all in the end afton should of been in the movie more and they should of kept it creepy like how it was in the beginning
You know after 8 whole years of waiting for this movie it does not disappoint I mean sure there are a few changes but it still holds up even with those changes
My behavior was similar to chris with William Afton. Seeing Matthew Lillard in the spring bonnie suit and going all out was enjoyable to watch. I was a little disappointed there wasn't mord him or animatronic action.
This, Scream 6, and Megan are my favorite movies of this year by far. And they probably will give William a motive and flash backs in the 2nd movie, hopefully.
13:55 They said this movie was for fans and they could have made this movie a little longer explaining the backstory of William Afton but maybe on the next movie
I hope that in the sequel we will see more of Vanessa and William backstory and some of Mike's questions to Vanessa along the lines of "Why did your father do this? Has he always been like this? Where did it start?"
20:52 In the film, Mike says “Our mom died a little while back. And Dad, he couldn't handle it, so…” This could either imply that his dad committed suicide, or simply left them. If it's the latter, the 2nd film could reveal that Mike’s dad is Henry, and maybe something wrong happened between Henry and William, prompting William to kidnap and murder Henry’s son, Garrett.
Yes! Maybe it's just like in fnaf 4. We don't know so much about William and Vanessa relationship and backstory, maybe she had a siblings and one of the animatronics accidentally killed her brother or sister. Maybe that's why William get mad at Henry and later we know what's happened. It would be cool. (Sorry for my English, I'm from other country and we don't use English grammar so much)
I went to see this movie opening night, I loved everything about it. I’ve been a fan since the first game, this was truly for the fans. I’m so happy it is doing so well with money regardless of being free on peacock, I think they’ll definitely make the sequel more great than this first one 🐻
i overall loved the movie, i was the peak age for fnaf back in the day and IT CONSUMED ME. i was obsessed- fanart, fanfics, anamatics, songs, just some weirdness overall (calling purple guy vincent bc no one knew his name) i was lowkey holding back tears at some of the scenes where it was just mike walking through the pizzera and not to mention, how amazing the animatronics looked. the details on all of them was amazing, foxy has always been my favorite of the main 5 (how i felt after listening to those sad foxy songs: 🥺😱😥😢😡🖤🖤💔💔🔗) there were some things i didnt rlly like but the pros heavily outweigh the cons
i will say there's likely a directors cut that's going to be released because if you think back to the trailers there are a good few scene's that just don't appear in the movie
I have been a diehard FNAF fan since 2014, I get that as a movie its not the best and has it flaws, but I loved this movie. By the end I was tearing up especially after the springlock scene, and then TLT's FNAF 1 song started playing and I just started full on crying (of happiness).
I can agree that there should have been more William Afton in the movie, but even as a newcomer to the franchise, i thought this movie was fantastic. I didn’t really have a problem with the script and the cinematography and score for the film were genuinely brilliant.
Wayyy too many cheesy POV shots with the fisheye lens, really thought the film did a poor job of the framing it’s characters as well, it broke the rules of thirds way too many times
16:36 You don't really have to die to come back, it's moreso telling us that they've kept appearing and making kids go missing, and that they'll always come back and do that each time. It's sorta similar to Pennywise mixed with Venom. 19:06 "Find Me" is the catchphrase used by the character known as RWQFSFASXC/Glitchtrap/Black Rabbit. It first appears in FNaF 3, and a second time in Help Wanted 1. It's in relation to a game of hide and seek. There's even a short story starring RWQFSFASXC called "Hide and Seek". Hopefully that gives more context to who it is.
I noticed that the book at the beginning was called “Dream Theory,” and I feel like that has to be a reference to the dream theory from back in FNAF 4. Loved that they actually included Sparky, though. I never even considered that they might do that! Finally, I want to point out two things that MIGHT have been done on purpose, but it’s kinda a stretch. 1. Afton was kinda the phone guy in the movie. I feel like that had to be on purpose because pf how popular of a theory that was. 2. One of the guys who broke into the restaurant was named Carl. Carl is a popular fan name for the cupcake.
As a fan since 2015 This Blew my expectations It was absolutely Amazing In my opinion The only thing That i could really think that could be better/In proved Is probably More Golden Freddy screen time but In my opinion its one of my favorite movies ever
Absolutely Loved it! As FNAF Fan I'm Very pleased 😊 And The Cameos From CoryxKenshin and MatPat Was Great to See 👍 And The Animatronics Was Freaking Amazing, Not many Jump scares but I'm Not Complaining and Josh Who plays Mike Is Fantastic, and Abby's Actress Is Too, and Matthew Lillard was really good as William afton Even though he didn't have Much Screen time
I thought the movie was alright. Some of the movie definitely wasn't very serious, probably for the children audience. Especially that fort-building scene. It was really nice seeing Matthew Lillard portraying a psychopath with a knife. Also, those close-ups of his ribs being crushed by his own technology was really eye-appesling.
It sounds like the second movie should split the runtime between being a sequel and prequel. Show flashbacks that tell us why Afton does what he does, and balance it with a sequel that shows Mike's search for his brother.
Just watched the movie, one of my favorites movies I ’ve seen in a while and I’m excited for more. There’s so much more they can do with a sequel and I’m looking forward to it!
I really appreciate this review. Acknowledging the fun bits with the movie but not ignoring the fact that there was still potential and flaws that could've used work.
I saw this today with my dad and cousin, and since they are not fans like me their aspect on it was a lot different and negative compared to me - I really enjoyed it. It was slow during the beginning but got more interesting during the break-in and when they try and kill Abby. I was disappointed they didn't reference the lullaby that they had been doing in the trailers that would have made me like it further and I agree that they needed to make the story make a bit more sense. Personally I think the "I always come back!" line made sense because he is saying that they can try and stop him but he will just keep returning, although I wish he delivers the line like in the game to be more menacing. If they do make a sequel I'm hoping Blumhouse learn from their mistakes and take this movie to be more as a "test run". Loved a lot of parts such as the cameos and the animatronics were awesome especially that insane cupcake 🤣, and I would rate it 9/10.
I feel like it's a hard series to adapt to live action and they did well enough for me. I really hope there are more movies because I think the sequels could be fantastic if they listen to some of the criticism. This movie definitely felt like a prototype for what could be an intense FNAF movie. They spent a ton of time fleshing out characters and the overall plot and while that's great, I think the next movie needs to go all in on surviving the animatronics. If the next movie is a prequel like FNAF2, It would be perfect as a more standalone story that is mostly horror. Either way I'm looking forward to the future installments and I hope this movie does well enough to warrant them being made. Can't wait to see Springtrap in full force. It better push PG-13 to the limits.
I love the movie, Blumhouse did a great job, now I went to see the movie with my mom, and she doesn’t know much about financial consulting you about was a handful of the characters about the child murders but overall at the end of the movie she really liked it and understand what was going on. She did ask a lot questions afterwards, but that’s mostly coming from whatever happened in the video games and how it was different from the movie. Also she love that sweet part of the animatronics getting hang out with Abby and just be kids again 😢
I saw this movie twice in theaters and my crowd as well as myself adored it. I have my issues and should have been R. But I love the animatronics, and Springtrap coming out best part. I was surprised how good the springlock accident looked for PG-13.
Also looking more at the balloon boy animatronic he definitely looks like an endoskeleton with a rubber mask over it and maybe this is how they’ll tie in balloon boy and circus baby pizza world especially with the theories of masks being worn and the the fact balloon boy never fit in that well with the theme of Fnaf2
I've been a fan for almost 10 years... this was 100% a love letter to fans.. i loved this movie.. Lillard gave me Stu Macher vibes from his performance.. thats what i was hoping for
Hi Chris in the credits after the post-credit scene you can hear it play the music box and that was an important mechanic in the second game and I think It's a hint for the puppet in the sequel 19:02
For the next movie, I’m hoping it’s a prequel, sort of like the games, and it can follow William afton through his life, from opening up fredbears diner, to becoming a mass killer, and maybe there could be a post credit scene showing spring trap turning back on saying the iconic phrase “I Always, Come Back!”
Chris! You're soooo right dawg! That opening was dope and the music was a bop! 🔥 🎶 --- Also, I think that the sequel will either double down and make it a bigger fan film. OR Which is what I think, is that they'll make it more general audience friendly and explain a bit more of the history, characters and such.
I had so much fun with the movie! I’m okay with pretty much all of its flaws, it could be better but I really liked it anyway! I was able to come to my own conclusions with a lot of the parts that went unexplained, I think every fnaf fan should see this movie
thanks for being the best film review channel. no one really reviews thing with a level head anymore and i feel like that's a key thing when reviewing any movie
What's crazy is I've always hated on FNAF. Always thought the animatronics were cringey and such, but after watching this movie and understanding more of the unique lore, it makes me want to play through every single game, and get into it. I like movies and media that makes me think, and this movie made me think about astral projection, and dreams. Ive had reoccuring dreams like what was shown in the movie, and it does make you sit and think deeply. Awesome video!
Foxy was by far the scariest in the movie. That one scene that made me jump was when Foxy was standing in the front of the hallway and killed Jeff. The opening scene was also very creepy. But I absolutely enjoyed the FNAF Movie. We've waited 8 years for the FNAF Movie. Thank you Blumhouse and Scott Cawthon!!
Came back from watching it 2 hours ago and really enjoyed it! It was slow in a few parts, everyone applauded when William had the suit on and when the credits played the iconic fnaf song. Everyone gasped at Vanessa's reveal, but to be honest I didn't like the twist as much. It wouldve made sense with Steve/William being Mike's dad since he hesitated when he was about say Mike's last name, but maybe in a sequel that could happen still somehow...maybe. I'd give it a 7/10.
After night 3 there should have been one more scene of the animatronics attacking people and the golden Freddy scene with aunt Jane should have been scarier
I love when Matthew did the classic cleaning off the knife trick at 13:08 it was a great call back to Scream when Stu cleaned off the blood from his knife as Ghostface
I just love how Mathew Lillard throws in that Scream easter egg/reference when he cleans the knife with his hand. It was great and my GF was so shocked she didn't catch it. Huge Scream fan but not a FNAF fan and she still really liked the movie.
Absolutely loved the film! It was definitely more of the suspense mysterimore than horror which was different than i expected tbh, but i still really liked the film. Fully agree with yoy on the first scebe setting that pg13 horror tone and expected it to flow through. Im really curious what the directors cut will look like with the extra scenes. Im going to be flabbergasted if there isnt one coming at some point.
As a veteran FNAF Fan, I have been waiting for this movie long enough only to see it today with my best friend who's also a fnaf fan. Even tho yes there was some flaws that held it back for me, I still enjoyed it as a five nights at freddy's movie
Also when it comes to the “I always come back line”, it’s another thing that fans would understand more. Afton has struggled a lot throughout his life. And he always comes back from those struggles so to speak
One thing that they kind of missed out on in terms of context for the springlock scene, a lot of fazbear’s tech is made on the cheap, and cuts corners in terms of safety. That’s part of the reason the spring locks are so sketchy. So it’s played for humor in the games universe, but provides vital context and tension as well since you come to distrust any tools that are at your disposal, as they’re just as likely to bite you in the butt as they are to help you.
I loved the scream reference where Matthew cleaned the knife when he was in the suit like ghostface does and it’s also cool how he was ghostface in the first scream
17:44 I think the springlock scene was far more similar to how it is in the books than it is the games, if you actually look at the scene in the graphic novel version of the first book it looks pretty similar visually, like how we see him lay on his side for a bit before ending up on his back then he gets dragged away by the animatronics just like in the movie.
As a fan of the games since FNAF 2, I can only describe this movie as a love letter for fans. It wasn't without its flaws, but I do think it was worth the 8 year wait, and that Blumhouse were the perfect people for it. I'm very curious to see how they continue to make future sequels!
Sounds like the Mario movie and Godzilla King of the Monsters
Omg I love your videos
Omg I love your vids!
If only it was rated R
@CarnoxEditzI don’t think anyone who likes FNAF really HATES it. I notice that there are two types of FNAF fans; those who wanted a hood FNAF Movie and those who wanted a good movie, and those who came in expecting a good movie were more disappointed than anything
The fact that Aunt Jane died in the house of her nephew whom shes currently in the midst of a custody battle with, and no law authority seems to notice or care was the funniest part imo
That’s what I said lmao like did they just ignore her dead body in the living room
Not gonna lie, when the springtrap scene happened, I thought it was gonna happen off screen or we would see a silhouette of the springtrap with Williams screams in the background, but what we actually got surprised me a little, even with the close ups of blood on his body. When he said, "I always come back," my whole theater went insane, which shows me that I was surrounded by true FNAF fans.
Same man, I'm so happy my theater was excited for even the little things. It felt amazing
@@Supl3xcityyeah I got excited as well! Amazing movie I liked how it went! Maybe he got somewhat defeated before hand and that’s why he’s saying I always come back. 9/10 for me
I also hated when there was 6 annoying little kids screaming stupid shit. Other than that, it was good
My complaint about that scene is the fact that "I always come back" feels extremely forced
Yea, I feel that most of it still happened offscreen as he was still jittering and screaming while he was being dragged off.
The ending does make a lot of sense if you really think about it. Seeing him look down at the mask and him actively knowing he managed to get the kids to haunt the suits means he knew that once he was springlocked it was over but he knew he would die and haunt the suit like the kids and in the process him saying he always comes back was to taunt them all in a way so that theyd maybe believe he wasn't truly dead.
He says it in the game
Reaching is not a strong enough word to describe this lmao
@@godofthecripples1237 it’s so obvious?? if he knew the kids haunted a suit after they were dead so could he are you stupid 💀
I think the movie mostly implies two about Vanessa:
- she was a witness to the murders and helping Abby helps ease her guilt of not doing anything
- the answer of how Vanessa did what she did is easy: FEAR
I can see that, but why make her a cop then.
@@drewq463 I have no idea 😀
@@drewq463Her taking a job as a cop could be her way of coping with the childhood trauma of seeing/ helping with the murders and her way of potentially helping prevent stuff like that from happening again
@@drewq463 probibly to keep things under the rug for her dad, what better then a cop to turn a blind eye? I belvie Afton actuly mentioned how she was saposed to keep things hidden in the scene were he is attacking her, though i might need to rewatch
I can’t imagine what William did to her to make her so scared of him.
He said he always comes back because he knows he's going to come back after his death. That's why he put the mask on. He knows how possession works, and he knows that if the children could come back through the animatronics, so could he.
But in context with the movie doesn’t really make sense. Considering we’ve never seen William die and come back before
I think it would’ve worked better if he said “I will always come back” as it would’ve made the scene make more sense since he hadn’t died yet, which would lead into possible later movies he says the actual line of “I always come back”
@@carlosaleman3004 but he did take garret and then dissspeared🤷🏾♂️ he seen him
How I interpret him saying that, is that he will be able to "come back" to kill again, like not come back to life but to continue to kill
To be fair, the man had a lot of metal in him so I can see why his grammar may not have been up to snuff xD @@carlosaleman3004
I think the reason why my theater jumped up in excitement when vanessa said "His name is William Afton" Is because it was lowkey a surprise a Tincy wincey bit because we thought they would just completely change William's name for movies sake but no they said THE NAME.
Little bit of info: the picture of the yellow rabbit is what tricked the spirits into working for Afton. When spirits die in fnaf they forget pretty much everything. Because pictures hold deep meaning to children the fact that the yellow rabbit was in the center of the photo they consider him there leader.
I really loved this movie. Only thing I wish would have happened is a Scott Cawthon cameo as Phone Guy. Other than that is was the best FNAF movie it could be in my opinion.
First half kinda dragged for a bit
Honestly the movie was disappointing
@@Duffle26real
That would’ve been amazing! Like some sort of cameo from him would’ve been great.
That ghost face knife swipe was 🔥🔥🔥
Chris you’ve been my comfort channel since quarantine started, I just wanted to say I love you a lot man and I’m proud of you
Appreciate that🙏🏻
I can relate, I believe i found 3C films during the pandemic and I’ve been hooked since then. Always love coming to see what movie news there is, this is my go to channel 🙏🏼
As a fan from the start. Starting with markipliers gameplays, I felt like this closed off my childhood. Going from being a child to now a freshman in college, It felt like the chapter of my childhood closed. Matthew Lillard never disappoints as well.
Dude my theater room was packed!! and when Cory and matpat came on screen everyone was clapping and cheering same with the SpringBonnie battle
so, matthew lilard did confirm that he signed a 3 picture deal for fnaf, so this is how I think they should do the next 2 confirmed movies.
I personally think for the next movie it should be a prequal, explaining the "afton era", and how he went insane following the death of the crying child (bite of '83).
Then the 3rd movie should be all the springtrap stuff, and possibly even going as far as fnaf 6, and the fire, which could close out the trilogy perfectly, as it should have for the games.
Or, they could add springtrap phase together with Afton’s past in the sequel
Just got done watching matpat talk about it! Markiplier was supposed to be the security guard that died...but yeah I'm right there with ya I have a basic knowledge of it so it was fun for me the ending was really intense!
my teenage daughter was so scared they would destroy this movie. i also went into it with some sort of knowledge also because she played the game years ago also my nephew...but we were so into it i had a smile on my face the whole time. the ending had all of us screaming with applaud with the crowd. i rated this movie 10/10
That’s crazy.
10/10? I’m glad you enjoyed it but for me this movie was a 2/10
The experience I had watching this yesterday was amazing ESPECIALLY when we saw mattpat & he said part of his iconic line “it’s just a theory” my audience cheered Even when we saw Cory ‘ oh my goodness was it cute seeing Freddy and his gang being absolutely adorable to Abby 🥹 overall this movie was such a gem. when William Afton was finally in the springbonnie suit I couldn’t stop smiling ear to ear & my god when the living tombstone played for the end credits my audience once again went absolutely insane & we even sung along to it lol. 😅 & although the movie wasn’t received well, this movie became my favorite of 2023 & it’s a nice memory to remember.
I’ve been a fan since fnaf 2, and this is honestly everything I wanted. If you’re complaining I don’t think you understand how much Blumhouse clearly wanted to respect the franchise and fans as much as possible. Thank you Blumhouse ❤
That doesn’t automatically stop people from having criticism. It’s ok to enjoy it still, I liked it quite a bit, but understand that just because it’s only made for fans doesn’t automatically mean it’s an objectively 10/10 movie. I still had problems with the movie and I’m a fan of this series as well.
That doesn’t automatically disqualify it from any criticism. The movie was OK at best sorry to say. The only reason people like you are raving about it is because of your allegiance to the franchise while wearing rose tinted glasses. There’s a reason most outsiders of the franchise aren’t giving it great reviews. If you loved it then that’s awesome and I’m happy for you, but let’s not pretend like this is some perfect movie with 0 flaws. You can want to respect the original franchise and it’s fans all you want, but wanting to succeed and actually succeeding are 2 totally different things.
Yep, as a FNAF fan it was okay. Pretty cheesy tbh. Feels like the books
I think they disrespected the lore lol but I respect the effort
@biofitanatomy well seeing how Scott himself.was on set and had pretty much final say on everything I'd have to say they didn't mess the lore up at all. It's clearly gonna be more then one film
Everyone is my theater yelled out "IS THAT THE BITE OF '87" in harmony. And it was perfect
That must of been such a cool experience 😂
@@3CFilmsit really was. I sat next to this nerd friend group and they talked throughout the entire film. Everyone talked throughout the film actually. It was almost all teenagers in there watching the movie as fans. It was awesome. I had a fun time too
The movie was the mid of 87
@@crow_g1639 ur not funny
When I watched the movie, my theories were going crazy. I believe Mike’s Dad would be the “Henry Emily” in the movie and Garret would be the Puppet. The “Come Find Me” would most likely be Garret speaking to Mike, or William speaking to Vanessa.🎉🎉
It was never about the five nights, it was about the friends we made along the way
When Mike told Vanessa about his kidnapped younger brother, she should have had a line saying that she also had a younger brother that passed when she was younger. She can say something like “it made my father go crazy” and then later when she reveals who her father is Mike puts together the whole “your father who went crazy”
They also needed to add a moment where Mike questioned why Afton was his career counselor and Afton explaining it was his way to lay low with a fake name.
You can see the marionette’s eyes shine when mike first peaks back stage on night 1. Some one on twitter increased the exposure and you can even see the mask
I see a lot of people saying that but I honestly think it’s just a light reflection
Could u give me a link to it on Twitter or something? I would like to see if for myself
@@skilled_links dont work on yt ur gonna have to just look it up
the puppets theme music is played at the end credits and then afterwards the words “come find me” were spelt out in a robotic voice, hinting that maybe the puppet is somewhere in the movie and we’ve missed it.
Actually I believe that might be the Endoskeleton Tina. It was an endo they made on the set and put it in a bunch of random scenes in the dark as a little Easter egg i believe
To touch on the Springtrap reveal scene - it was cool being in there with all manner of people. The gasps when Afton took off the mask we’re priceless tbh. I think that was a pretty good setup and it seemed like the payoff was well worth it
As a casual fan who gave up on the series after Sister Location, I actually quite liked what we were given. I will say I think the Springlock scene could’ve been done better (I was thinking have most of it be in the shadows and have sound design carry the scene, like bones crunching, blood gushing, metallic parts moving, etc. I’m surprised how much of it we saw though). I hope the sequel will do kinda what Sonic movie 2 did (to compare it to another video game adaptation) where the first movie was fine, but the sequel improves upon it for both Fans of the source material and also for general movie goers.
Honestly I wish it was more gorey
I already saw it on Peacock but I just had to see it in theaters. I’m glad I did because my audience was absolutely legendary. Everybody really cheered and went all out with their reactions.
Was it still good to watch it a second time bc I’ve seen it but I desperately wanna ask my mum to go to the cinema😚
@@ChloeLambe absolutely
Stop lying, the movie was trash and you know it
@@shaq1276have you ever heard of an opinion 🤔
@@shaq1276nah as a fan I’m happy and enjoyed the movie
For me I liked the children of the corn vibes and the Chucky cheese vibes. Took me down memory lane from when I was a kid. I also liked that Corey Kenshin got his moment to shine.
My mom and I went to watch it the other day, and I couldn't have been more excited for her to finally see what I've been obsessed with for the past eight years of my life. I remember when the movie was playing out, she was connecting dots and learning the story in a new way. For the first time, she had no knowledge of the games. The sound of her voice when she said, "I actually liked that a lot, and it was interesting," left me feeling incredibly thankful. While there were certain flaws in parts of the movie that made it feel a bit disjointed, and some scenes left you scratching your head, I was more or less just so happy to see this movie officially out.
I have the feeling that if a second movie comes out, it will be a hundred times better than the first one
Couldn’t be much worse.
Yea, with all the feedback and people talking about what didnt work, im sure scott and the producers will take it in and improve apon it.
@@randycarter3111 sad but true
@@PClizard yeah, even if the movie has it flawsa, the care that was taken to make it shows a lot from the producers
@@PClizardhopefully
I really think we will get flashbacks with Matthew Lillard through the sequel. I especially HOPE Markiplier gets to be the bite of ‘87 victim! I feel like it’d be so poetic since he’s the most popular meme in the franchise. I’m really hoping Scott explores more of Afton’s story in the second one!
How would that work….the bite happened to a kid. Mark is a 50 year old man. And no way with that nose his whole head would get in a mouth like that anyway.
@@jude7225Mark is 34, and the usual understanding is that there are two bites: the bite of 83 and the bite of 87, the bite of 83 happened to the crying child while the bite of 87 happened to an employee. And it’s possible they might just go a different route considering that Vanessa is Afton’s daughter in the movie
@@jude722550 is foul
I’m 100% sure that one of the cut scene is when Vanessa asked Mike why did he bring Abby and he said he can’t find a babysitter, they shown it in the trailer but in the movie Mike didn’t say anything at all
For me, this film made me TRULY fear William Afton. I am OBSESSED with him in this film. An awesome portrayal by Matthew Millard! The best choice they could have picked to play William Afton.
I agree, although I think William Dafoe could have also played William perfectly
@@jeremyrodriguez9763I think Matthew Millard is his brother
you spelt Afton wrong twice
It's Lillard
Bro u can't spell shi
The opening credits were awesome, but imagine it live action.
The scene where William pushes Mike in his Springbonnie costume was really good, I wish Springbonnie had more screen time and we could have seen a Mike Vs Springbonnie scene, Maybe it will happen in the next Movies.
10:30
I was expecting the movie to use something from the book to explain this, like revealing he used her for his experiments and was messing with her mind to keep her on his side. Hell, I was almost expecting her to be the Charlie of this story.
I agree with the "I always come back" line. One thing I would have done, show a flashback of him preforming in character and at the end of the show he cheerfully closes with something like, "But don'tcha worry! I will come back! I always come back!"
That was my biggest gripe with the movie, it played things way to safe. The games and books get insanely weird, sometimes outright ridiculous, but it's these moments that help shape the stories into the horrific nightmares they truly are.
Imagine if Afton had repurposed the vandals and reanimated them as human/Animatronic hybrids? What about corrupted videos/dreams with faces distorting twitching?
Another thing I would have loved to see would have been a look at that springlock suits through blueprints or test video or something to give us a more clear idea how the locks look open and how they look when closed, painting a clear picture how badly it could mangle someone... Imagine how much worse this would be if Afton, putting the mask back on in a desperate attempt to control the spirits, and then one by one they activate the locks. He screams as blood stains start forming on the suit, leaking out the cracks... Then finally, the locks in the mask go off, blood spits out the mouth, he screaming is muffled... And then he drops down as a lifeless husk and the Animatronics drag him away.
Then, for a post credits stinger, we get the scene of him being left in the back room focusing on his lifeless body. Slowly panning in, then "He will come back" starts whispering, over and over, faster, more voices joining until it zooms in on one of the mask eyes, it lights up as we hear a sickening, gargling gasp of air - cut to black "He always does."
So with Vanessa, im assuming shes the Micheal afton of this universe and she (and her friends which are the mci kids) caused the bite of 83. William kills her friend as punishment and blames her fir the whole thing for the rest of her life. Which after that kinda trauma and abuse it’s reasonable to believe she’d do anything he says… it’ll probably be covered in the sequel
I'm really hoping that the sequel explains more of the lore with William Afton, maybe shows us some flashbacks, hopefully introduces the Puppet, just more lore that fans are familiar with
I think Williams knows he'll possess the Spring Bonnie suit, and thats why he says his line, but your right, the delivery was weird.
I think they should have went with him being dragged away and saying something like "Ill come back!" during the post-credit scene.
Yeah, pretty cheesy
I loved this movie, and funny to mention I took my dad to watch it and he doesn’t know the movie or games but he figured out who the yellow rabbit was a.k.a Springtrap when Vanessa was talking to Mike about his brother’s kidnapper, but he ended up liking it and he doesn’t play the games or heard of it. I was surprised and happy when they played the FNAF 1 song from the living tombstone at the beginning of the end credits, my whole theater and me screamed and clapped for this awesome fan made song being in the movie.
Honestly if it was 3 hours and they showed Williams killings and maybe him going around before the place shut down and actually see him do stuff would’ve been amazing
And maybe a chase seen with him
More jump scares and horror parts would’ve been cool too
i feel like the second film will be longer and show more lore, i at least wanna see 2 hours and a half for the next movie, im hoping the next movie can be better too with a bigger budget they have
Before watching the movie there was rumors of the secret animatronics being the puppet and balloon boy. Turns out it was the fan made sparky the dog and Ella the doll which I didn’t expect. The twist with Vanessa I didn’t see coming just bc it’s Elizabeth afton not Vanessa afton. When those credits started rolling and the living tombstone started playing I was jamming out to my childhood. I had lots of fun even with the kid friendly horror vibes and rushed finale. Seeing Matpat was great I was laughing so hard cause my mind didn’t process it was him at first even got his signature catchphrase 💀. Either fnaf 3 gets adapted next or sister location with the end credits scene being like the games showing springtrap coming back from a broken down pizzeria which was fazbear frights. I just really want to see the Funtime animatronics be adapted practically especially ennard but the puppet has to show up eventually tho.
Springlocks introduction is probably one of my favorite scenes in any movie. The way they shot it, lit it, the music, the breathing, it was so intense. The movie was fine. I enjoyed it, but that scene was great.
They actually got me to be on the edge of my seat during when Chica tried pushing Abby into the springlocks
Was waiting for this review loved this movie definitely wasn’t the biggest horror movie but was definitely a great FNAF movie
This makes me want to see Stu come back in Scream! Call the movie 'Ghostface' and have Matthew come back as the lead.
I think they could still pull off the whole crying child thing in the sequel through flash backs, and it was Vanessa’s younger brother that died before she was born so then that way William can still have his motive
I really did want to see more of Matthew as William. All I wanted more of after watching was for that scene to be longer. Also in terms of his line, I feel like he was saying it more towards the animatronics. He was smiling, knowing that he’ll put on the mask and possess the suit once he dies. He was telling them that this little “rebellion” they put up against him was for nothing, that they aren’t stopping him. It seems that his relationship with the souls is more like that of an abusive father, kinda how he already is to his real child. Again, it would’ve been cool to see more of that in action. Overall the movie was a real achievement for Fnaf, and I love it for what it is. If there’s one consistent double-edged sword about Fnaf it’s that there’s always room for improvement.
So they don't mention it in the movie, but you can see scars on his neck. In the silver eyes, he got spring locked twice, the first time dint really kill him, but it gave him a strange connection to the suit, so he kinda died and came back, I think that is what they did here
I like how Lillard did his classic Knife Wipe in this as he did in Scream
I LOVE THIS MOVIE!! I saw with my dad and I’ve been waiting for this movie since i was little. The critics can be really harsh, but everyone knows that everyone in this movie put their fazballs in this.
yup
The critics are harsh because I hate to break it to you, but this is not a good movie. Unless you’re a hyper fan of the franchise, this is a mediocre film at absolute best. Yes I’m aware this was made for the fans, but it’s kind of absurd for fans to not understand why outsiders think this movie was pretty ass. As a very casual fan of FNAF, I can admit it was cool to see Freddy Fazbear’s brought to life with the animatronics and all the other references. But as a fan of cinema, it was really underwhelming.
@@h2owl205I thought it was a 8/10 I like fnaf and if you know the lore you could tell they rushed it all in the end afton should of been in the movie more and they should of kept it creepy like how it was in the beginning
I love how this film maintains the soul of the franchise by being goofy. This might take people off guard, but this is fnaf
You know after 8 whole years of waiting for this movie it does not disappoint I mean sure there are a few changes but it still holds up even with those changes
My behavior was similar to chris with William Afton. Seeing Matthew Lillard in the spring bonnie suit and going all out was enjoyable to watch. I was a little disappointed there wasn't mord him or animatronic action.
This, Scream 6, and Megan are my favorite movies of this year by far.
And they probably will give William a motive and flash backs in the 2nd movie, hopefully.
13:55 They said this movie was for fans and they could have made this movie a little longer explaining the backstory of William Afton but maybe on the next movie
I hope that in the sequel we will see more of Vanessa and William backstory and some of Mike's questions to Vanessa along the lines of "Why did your father do this? Has he always been like this? Where did it start?"
20:52 In the film, Mike says “Our mom died a little while back. And Dad, he couldn't handle it, so…”
This could either imply that his dad committed suicide, or simply left them. If it's the latter, the 2nd film could reveal that Mike’s dad is Henry, and maybe something wrong happened between Henry and William, prompting William to kidnap and murder Henry’s son, Garrett.
Yes! Maybe it's just like in fnaf 4. We don't know so much about William and Vanessa relationship and backstory, maybe she had a siblings and one of the animatronics accidentally killed her brother or sister. Maybe that's why William get mad at Henry and later we know what's happened. It would be cool. (Sorry for my English, I'm from other country and we don't use English grammar so much)
@@liberty6908 oh shit this would actually be cool. Vanessa becomes like Mike from the games
I went to see this movie opening night, I loved everything about it. I’ve been a fan since the first game, this was truly for the fans. I’m so happy it is doing so well with money regardless of being free on peacock, I think they’ll definitely make the sequel more great than this first one 🐻
i overall loved the movie, i was the peak age for fnaf back in the day and IT CONSUMED ME.
i was obsessed- fanart, fanfics, anamatics, songs, just some weirdness overall (calling purple guy vincent bc no one knew his name)
i was lowkey holding back tears at some of the scenes where it was just mike walking through the pizzera and not to mention, how amazing the animatronics looked.
the details on all of them was amazing, foxy has always been my favorite of the main 5 (how i felt after listening to those sad foxy songs: 🥺😱😥😢😡🖤🖤💔💔🔗)
there were some things i didnt rlly like but the pros heavily outweigh the cons
i will say there's likely a directors cut that's going to be released because if you think back to the trailers there are a good few scene's that just don't appear in the movie
I have been a diehard FNAF fan since 2014, I get that as a movie its not the best and has it flaws, but I loved this movie. By the end I was tearing up especially after the springlock scene, and then TLT's FNAF 1 song started playing and I just started full on crying (of happiness).
I can agree that there should have been more William Afton in the movie, but even as a newcomer to the franchise, i thought this movie was fantastic. I didn’t really have a problem with the script and the cinematography and score for the film were genuinely brilliant.
Wayyy too many cheesy POV shots with the fisheye lens, really thought the film did a poor job of the framing it’s characters as well, it broke the rules of thirds way too many times
@@gabewhite9182 can u explain more?
16:36
You don't really have to die to come back, it's moreso telling us that they've kept appearing and making kids go missing, and that they'll always come back and do that each time. It's sorta similar to Pennywise mixed with Venom.
19:06
"Find Me" is the catchphrase used by the character known as RWQFSFASXC/Glitchtrap/Black Rabbit.
It first appears in FNaF 3, and a second time in Help Wanted 1.
It's in relation to a game of hide and seek.
There's even a short story starring RWQFSFASXC called "Hide and Seek".
Hopefully that gives more context to who it is.
I noticed that the book at the beginning was called “Dream Theory,” and I feel like that has to be a reference to the dream theory from back in FNAF 4.
Loved that they actually included Sparky, though. I never even considered that they might do that!
Finally, I want to point out two things that MIGHT have been done on purpose, but it’s kinda a stretch.
1. Afton was kinda the phone guy in the movie. I feel like that had to be on purpose because pf how popular of a theory that was.
2. One of the guys who broke into the restaurant was named Carl. Carl is a popular fan name for the cupcake.
The scene when Abby is leaving with Mike and u see Freddy’s face turn to sadness it made me tear up the Jim Henson creature shop did wonders with them
As a fan since 2015 This Blew my expectations It was absolutely Amazing In my opinion The only thing That i could really think that could be better/In proved Is probably
More Golden Freddy screen time but In my opinion its one of my favorite movies ever
10:18 if these applies to the games then it actually makes sense why she turned into vanny and tried to kill Gregory
Right !!
Absolutely Loved it! As FNAF Fan I'm Very pleased 😊 And The Cameos From CoryxKenshin and MatPat Was Great to See 👍 And The Animatronics Was Freaking Amazing, Not many Jump scares but I'm Not Complaining and Josh Who plays Mike Is Fantastic, and Abby's Actress Is Too, and Matthew Lillard was really good as William afton Even though he didn't have Much Screen time
I thought the movie was alright. Some of the movie definitely wasn't very serious, probably for the children audience. Especially that fort-building scene. It was really nice seeing Matthew Lillard portraying a psychopath with a knife. Also, those close-ups of his ribs being crushed by his own technology was really eye-appesling.
It sounds like the second movie should split the runtime between being a sequel and prequel. Show flashbacks that tell us why Afton does what he does, and balance it with a sequel that shows Mike's search for his brother.
Just watched the movie, one of my favorites movies I ’ve seen in a while and I’m excited for more.
There’s so much more they can do with a sequel and I’m looking forward to it!
My girlfriend and I went with very low expectations and came out loving the movie! Must say we have been fans for the last 6 yrs.
I really appreciate this review. Acknowledging the fun bits with the movie but not ignoring the fact that there was still potential and flaws that could've used work.
I saw this today with my dad and cousin, and since they are not fans like me their aspect on it was a lot different and negative compared to me - I really enjoyed it. It was slow during the beginning but got more interesting during the break-in and when they try and kill Abby. I was disappointed they didn't reference the lullaby that they had been doing in the trailers that would have made me like it further and I agree that they needed to make the story make a bit more sense. Personally I think the "I always come back!" line made sense because he is saying that they can try and stop him but he will just keep returning, although I wish he delivers the line like in the game to be more menacing. If they do make a sequel I'm hoping Blumhouse learn from their mistakes and take this movie to be more as a "test run". Loved a lot of parts such as the cameos and the animatronics were awesome especially that insane cupcake 🤣, and I would rate it 9/10.
EDP is a true hero. He sent his cupcake summoning Jutsu to defeat those awful thieves.
I feel like it's a hard series to adapt to live action and they did well enough for me. I really hope there are more movies because I think the sequels could be fantastic if they listen to some of the criticism. This movie definitely felt like a prototype for what could be an intense FNAF movie. They spent a ton of time fleshing out characters and the overall plot and while that's great, I think the next movie needs to go all in on surviving the animatronics. If the next movie is a prequel like FNAF2, It would be perfect as a more standalone story that is mostly horror. Either way I'm looking forward to the future installments and I hope this movie does well enough to warrant them being made. Can't wait to see Springtrap in full force. It better push PG-13 to the limits.
I love the movie, Blumhouse did a great job, now I went to see the movie with my mom, and she doesn’t know much about financial consulting you about was a handful of the characters about the child murders but overall at the end of the movie she really liked it and understand what was going on. She did ask a lot questions afterwards, but that’s mostly coming from whatever happened in the video games and how it was different from the movie.
Also she love that sweet part of the animatronics getting hang out with Abby and just be kids again 😢
I saw this movie twice in theaters and my crowd as well as myself adored it. I have my issues and should have been R. But I love the animatronics, and Springtrap coming out best part. I was surprised how good the springlock accident looked for PG-13.
Also looking more at the balloon boy animatronic he definitely looks like an endoskeleton with a rubber mask over it and maybe this is how they’ll tie in balloon boy and circus baby pizza world especially with the theories of masks being worn and the the fact balloon boy never fit in that well with the theme of Fnaf2
I've been a fan for almost 10 years... this was 100% a love letter to fans.. i loved this movie.. Lillard gave me Stu Macher vibes from his performance.. thats what i was hoping for
Hi Chris in the credits after the post-credit scene you can hear it play the music box and that was an important mechanic in the second game and I think It's a hint for the puppet in the sequel 19:02
For the next movie, I’m hoping it’s a prequel, sort of like the games, and it can follow William afton through his life, from opening up fredbears diner, to becoming a mass killer, and maybe there could be a post credit scene showing spring trap turning back on saying the iconic phrase “I Always, Come Back!”
Chris!
You're soooo right dawg!
That opening was dope and the music was a bop! 🔥 🎶
---
Also, I think that the sequel will either double down and make it a bigger fan film.

Which is what I think, is that they'll make it more general audience friendly and explain a bit more of the history, characters and such.
I had so much fun with the movie! I’m okay with pretty much all of its flaws, it could be better but I really liked it anyway! I was able to come to my own conclusions with a lot of the parts that went unexplained, I think every fnaf fan should see this movie
thanks for being the best film review channel. no one really reviews thing with a level head anymore and i feel like that's a key thing when reviewing any movie
What's crazy is I've always hated on FNAF. Always thought the animatronics were cringey and such, but after watching this movie and understanding more of the unique lore, it makes me want to play through every single game, and get into it. I like movies and media that makes me think, and this movie made me think about astral projection, and dreams. Ive had reoccuring dreams like what was shown in the movie, and it does make you sit and think deeply. Awesome video!
I think this movie did a great job of creating a fnaf universe. So many laughs and even some unsettling moments. I give this movie a 9/10
Just got back from seeing the movie, I loved it and I agree on exploring the lore much more about William Afton. Very excited for the sequal.
Foxy was by far the scariest in the movie. That one scene that made me jump was when Foxy was standing in the front of the hallway and killed Jeff. The opening scene was also very creepy. But I absolutely enjoyed the FNAF Movie. We've waited 8 years for the FNAF Movie. Thank you Blumhouse and Scott Cawthon!!
Came back from watching it 2 hours ago and really enjoyed it! It was slow in a few parts, everyone applauded when William had the suit on and when the credits played the iconic fnaf song. Everyone gasped at Vanessa's reveal, but to be honest I didn't like the twist as much. It wouldve made sense with Steve/William being Mike's dad since he hesitated when he was about say Mike's last name, but maybe in a sequel that could happen still somehow...maybe. I'd give it a 7/10.
After night 3 there should have been one more scene of the animatronics attacking people and the golden Freddy scene with aunt Jane should have been scarier
I love when Matthew did the classic cleaning off the knife trick at 13:08 it was a great call back to Scream when Stu cleaned off the blood from his knife as Ghostface
I felt the ending could’ve been longer and more action packed but the rest was pretty damn good
I just love how Mathew Lillard throws in that Scream easter egg/reference when he cleans the knife with his hand. It was great and my GF was so shocked she didn't catch it. Huge Scream fan but not a FNAF fan and she still really liked the movie.
Absolutely loved the film! It was definitely more of the suspense mysterimore than horror which was different than i expected tbh, but i still really liked the film. Fully agree with yoy on the first scebe setting that pg13 horror tone and expected it to flow through.
Im really curious what the directors cut will look like with the extra scenes. Im going to be flabbergasted if there isnt one coming at some point.
OMGGG i love how you know your stuff even though you’re not a FNAF fan it shows how you are literally a quality movie reviewer :)
As a veteran FNAF Fan, I have been waiting for this movie long enough only to see it today with my best friend who's also a fnaf fan. Even tho yes there was some flaws that held it back for me, I still enjoyed it as a five nights at freddy's movie
Also when it comes to the “I always come back line”, it’s another thing that fans would understand more. Afton has struggled a lot throughout his life. And he always comes back from those struggles so to speak
One thing that they kind of missed out on in terms of context for the springlock scene, a lot of fazbear’s tech is made on the cheap, and cuts corners in terms of safety. That’s part of the reason the spring locks are so sketchy. So it’s played for humor in the games universe, but provides vital context and tension as well since you come to distrust any tools that are at your disposal, as they’re just as likely to bite you in the butt as they are to help you.
I loved the scream reference where Matthew cleaned the knife when he was in the suit like ghostface does and it’s also cool how he was ghostface in the first scream
17:44 I think the springlock scene was far more similar to how it is in the books than it is the games, if you actually look at the scene in the graphic novel version of the first book it looks pretty similar visually, like how we see him lay on his side for a bit before ending up on his back then he gets dragged away by the animatronics just like in the movie.
Don’t know if you knew this Chris but Aunt Jane is actually a character from the Novel trilogy, I found that pretty cool. Great video as always🔥
