There are no scares — but even worse — there’s no fun. Five Nights at Freddy’s is as predictable as it is disappointing.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Jul 28, 2024

I don't know if my brain will maintain its cranial structural integrity...

Everything has a purpose and the designs are enough that OG fans will understand everything but new fans will also pick up on the clues that are being dropped through the design.

| Original Score: B | Feb 25, 2024

Five Nights at Freddy’s had everything working in its favor. The film’s cast has a solid cinematic genealogy. Jim Henson Creature Shop assisted with animatronics. FNAF fandom waited in anticipation for years, continuing to world-build and create lore.

A frontrunner for the top "Oh right, that is a real movie I saw" movie of the year but there's enough here to be likable enough for me in the moment.

| Original Score: B- | Dec 27, 2023

The adaptation of the 'Five Nights at Freddy's' video game saga is a failed attempt to bring the mock horror of the original to film [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: C- | Dec 16, 2023

Tammi does a great job bringing the 'Five Nights at Freddy's' video game to the big screen.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 13, 2023

Five Nights At Freddy’s could have done more to capture the simple terror of its video game inspiration’s storytelling. However, director Emma Tammi has delivered a crowd-pleasing retro horror that has the potential to be just as much of a cult favourite.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 11, 2023

Fight Nights at Freddy’s is just not effective enough as horror and has a slowly plodding pace that can’t be saved by its talent.

| Dec 10, 2023

The ending sort of sets up a sequel but if we are to spend any more nights at Freddy’s lets hope the creative team bring more fear and dread to make these animatronic antagonists less cuddly.

| Dec 6, 2023

A tame yet enjoyable triumph for fans of the video game. Those unfamiliar with the series might walk away feeling more lost than a devoted fan.

| Nov 30, 2023

You’d be forgiven for expecting a zany, over-the-top romp in which heroes battle the increasingly creepy cartoon animal-like robots as they fight to stay alive, but it isn’t that. Well, OK, it’s … kinda that … eventually.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Nov 30, 2023

All this movie needs is Nic Cage and it'd be fine.

| Nov 29, 2023

A deeply unpleasant and quite ridiculous game of hopscotch among devastating kidnapping thriller, nasty family drama, and empty serial killer nonsense.

| Original Score: D+ | Nov 27, 2023

The film mostly concentrates on Mike’s familial travails and history. It flails around trying to come up with psychologically resonant characteristics for its protagonist. It ends up with an inert and implausible narrative.

| Nov 25, 2023

Intended (apparently) as a horror flick, it’s not scary, and, despite the absurdity of the story, it’s not funny. It’s barely anything at all.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Nov 24, 2023

A lot of it feels like an Elm Street sequel, and you’ve got to respect a film about menacing animatronics that casts Mary Stuart Masterson.

| Nov 22, 2023

An early sequence where we watch these mascots come to life and dispatch a group of people shows promise for something better (and the animatronics do look pretty solid), but it’s all for naught. This is about as good as cardboard pizza.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Nov 22, 2023

A video game adaptation made overtly for the fans and only the fans. Newcomers will be totally lost, but it's target audience should have fun.

| Original Score: B- | Nov 21, 2023

So much plot is crammed into this nearly 2-hour film that it's honestly quite shocking that there's nary a scare to be found.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Nov 20, 2023
