Josh Hutcherson stars in the cinematic adaptation of the video game, which hits theaters and Peacock this Friday.
If you’ve always wanted to see more of Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza, your time has arrived: Five Nights at Freddy’s will soon be both in theaters and streaming on Peacock, offering an entertaining if imperfect expansion on the popular Five Nights at Freddy’s video game franchise. The film follows Mike , a down-on-his-luck security guard dealing with past trauma who needs a job in order to remain his little sister’s primary guardian, against his dubious aunt’s wishes.
You’ve never seen the game come to life like this—each action sequence with the animatronics is twisted fun, even though the movie’s PG-13 rating keeps the terror in check. I wish it was just a tad more intense and made the effort to show the horrors more, even without the blood if need be. As mentioned, a bit of the build from the games gets lost thanks to Mike’s subplot—again: too many flashbacks!—which gets dwelled on too much.
