Whenever someone says "I hate horror movies," there's a high probability that what they're really saying is "I hate jump scares." Of course, any good genre historian knows that there's far more to a horror film than a jump scare, but by and large, folks who don't enjoy horror films typically don't enjoy the sensation of feeling scared above all else. That rush of adrenaline can be a thrilling impression for many, but deeply uncomfortable for others. Enduring that feeling is often part of the allure — a means to test the limits of body and mind without having to put yourself in any real danger.

It’s tricky to put a fresh coat of paint on the old killer-robot movie, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be done. Successful spins on the genre have included time-traveling assassination attempts (The Terminator), a satire of tourism and America’s romanticized frontier (Westworld) and noirish ruminations on exactly how humans differ from the artificial life they create (Blade Runner). It seems that if we’re going to watch bots go bad, we want to have some bigger ideas to chew on while we do.

The "Five Nights At Freddy's" game franchise and its feature film adaptation share the same basic premise: would you, either as a game player or in the audience proxy guise of Mike Schmidt (Josh Hutcherson) in the film, take a night job as a security guard in an abandoned '80-style kids entertainment establishment, a la Chuck E Cheese or ShowBiz Pizza? Furthermore, the premise assumes that the "Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria" restaurant was a successful venture in its heyday, with its original animatronic characters putting on a faux-concert of the latest '80s pop hits while "interacting" in real-time with the guests.
All of that lore nearly completely flies out the window when one actually sees what Freddy, Chica, and their other robot friends actually look like: these things are creepy looking from the jump! And that's before they become possessed by the spirits (not to mention the decomposing bodies) of murdered children,...

It’s taken years to get here, but the “Five Nights at Freddy’s” movie we’ve all anticipated is finally here, from Blumhouse Pictures and director Emma Tammi. The film is set at an abandoned family entertainment center and stars Josh Hutcherson as Mike Schmidt, a security guard coping with past traumas while accepting a graveyard shift at the Fec, where he discovers that the facility’s animatronic creatures come to life and kill anyone who is on the grounds after midnight.

Pizza, a security guard, and – most importantly – homicidal robots are key elements of Universal Pictures and Blumhouse’s Five Nights at Freddy’s, based on the popular video game.
Five Nights focuses on Mike Schmidt (Josh Hutcherson), a former mall security guard who was recently fired for beating up the father of a little boy who he mistakenly thought was a stranger trying to kidnap the child. Mike can’t really be faulted; he’s haunted by the memory of witnessing his little brother being kidnapped when he was 12.
Desperate to find another job to retain custody of his 10-year-old sister Abby (Piper Rubio), Mike reluctantly accepts the job of overnight security guard at the closed, formerly family-friendly restaurant Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria.

There's no hiding that Hollywood is in arguably its most IP-obsessed era in entertainment history. It seems like everything -- and I mean everything -- hitting the theaters these days is based on an easily recognizable brand, character, franchise, book, or historical event. As of publication, the three highest-grossing films at the 2023 box office (so far) are "Barbie," "The Super Mario Bros. Movie," and "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse," all films based on characters that have been around for at least four decades. But adapting these legitimately iconic characters is no easy task, and there's always the risk of falling into what I call "The 'Resident Evil' Fandom Problem." Meaning, a franchise has gotten so big and covered so much ground across so many generations of fans that it becomes impossible for everyone to be on the same page with what they want out of an adaptation.

Watch out, Mario, there’s another video game character hitting the big screen.
“Five Nights at Freddy’s,” the popular survival horror video game from 2014, is coming to theaters (and Peacock) just in time for Halloween. The movie picked up $10.3 million at the box office in Thursday previews.
The original video game spawned multiple sequels and spinoffs that have been hits with gamers and teens. The movie version, from Universal and Blumhourse, is aiming to capitalize on the “Freddy’s” fervor and open with $50 million this weekend, though some predictions put it even higher. It’s on track to nab the year’s highest opening for a horror movie, beating returning franchises like “Scream VI” ($44.4 million), “The Nun II” ($32 million), “The Exorcist: Believer” ($26.4 million) and Blumhouse’s own original “M3GAN” ($30 million).
Josh Hutcherson stars as Mike Schmidt, a new security guard tasked with watching over Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza, basically a creepy ripoff of Chuck E.

If you were a kid or teen in the 2000s, it's likely that you watched at least one movie featuring Josh Hutcherson, and it's also likely that you had a favorite movie with him in it. Hutcherson began acting in the early 2000s and had minor roles in a variety of TV shows before making his film debut in 2003's "American Splendor." From there, Hutcherson was launched into stardom and starred in a number of popular films throughout the decade, including "Kicking & Screaming," "Zathura: A Space Adventure," and "Journey to the Center of the Earth." By the 2010s, Hutcherson took on more mature roles and arguably landed his most popular role as Peeta Mellark in "The Hunger Games," which he would reprise for the remaining three movies in the beloved film series.

Blumhouse and Universal's live-action adaptation of "Five Nights at Freddy's" is finally here, and it certainly feels like the start of the next big horror movie franchise. The story about possessed animatronics attacking humans after hours is scary enough on its own, but learning that the killer robots run on the souls of murdered children makes it a recipe for nightmare fuel. And even still, Freddy Fazbear, Bonnie the Bunny, Foxy the Fox, Chica the Chicken, and Mr. Cupcake are not the scariest characters in the film. No, that title belongs to Steve Raglan aka William Afton who becomes — as of the end of the film — Springtrap.

The horror event of the season is finally here, and plenty of parents are probably looking for a guide on whether or not "Five Nights at Freddy's" is appropriate for their kids to watch. Chances are, if your kiddos are already a fan of the popular game franchise, nothing in the "FNaF" film adaptation is going to shock them, as the most twisted aspects of the PG-13 release are pulled straight from the game's lore. However, the film takes some creative liberties with the story, so looking up game guides won't be of any help for those looking to do some parental investigation ahead of time.
Given the film's rating, much of the scarier moments are crafted through tension and atmosphere, with the deaths occurring in shadows, off-screen, or left up to the imagination. That doesn't mean "Five Nights at Freddy's" is without hair-raising moments,...

Director Emma Tammi was facing quite a lot when bringing Five Nights at Freddy’s to the big screen with writers like Scott Cawthon and Seth Cuddeback.
Not only did they have the challenge of delivering a fresh spin on a beloved IP already adapted in multiple other mediums, they are also facing down the dreaded video game adaptation curse and the film arriving amid a small but noticeable resurgence of “stranger danger” titles (think It, The Black Phone, Barbarian and Knock at the Cabin.)
Yet, the biggest challenge for the Five Nights at Freddy’s director may have been the one thing that most horror franchises are thinking about in a completely opposite way than her film: kids. Hollywood has a long history of making scary things for little(r) audiences — think Fright Krewe, Goosebumps, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Coraline, Wendell & Wilde, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Scooby-Doo! and Are You Afraid of the Dark?...

“Five Nights at Freddy’s,” an adaptation of the popular videogame franchise, is finally out this week.
A film version of the videogame has been in development for nearly a decade, beginning in 2015 when Gil Kenan, who directed “Monster House” and who just directed the as-yet-untitled sequel “Ghostbusters: Afterlife” (due out next year), signed on to direct and co-write. That began a fairly tumultuous production cycle that at one point saw “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” filmmaker Chris Columbus sign on.
But now it’s finally here, with a film directed and co-written (with Seth Cuddeback and original creator Scott Cawthon) by Emma Tammi and featuring animatronic characters created by Jim Henson’s Creature Shop. Blumhouse, the production company behind “Paranormal Activity,” “Get Out” and more recently “M3GAN,” is overseeing the film.

There is a scene in Five Nights at Freddy’s where two animatronic monstrosities—one a giant teddy bear and the other a yellow canary so devious even Sylvester would avoid it—look menacingly at a character who watches them both on a security camera. Now, how they know this poor doomed soul is looking at the security feed at that exact moment, or why they harbor him ill intent, I cannot say. What I can attest to is they’re so determined to end his life that they are serving him a dish best served screaming. No, really! The pair carry a sentient cupcake on a dish (it even has eyes and teeth), and they drop it down an air duct with the clear assumption being the malevolent pastry will find its way through the vents and commit homicide.

Kids are generally smarter than we give them credit for. For the most part, they're curious, open-minded, and understand the most fundamental truth about the world far better than adults do: that life simply makes more sense through the prism of dream logic. For every children's movie that gets this right, it feels like there are a half-dozen more that fatally underestimate their own intended audience. "Five Nights at Freddy's" can safely count itself among those in the former category, thankfully, and it weaponizes this strength to deliver the year's most charming and unabashedly kid-friendly horror flick just in time for spooky season.
Director Emma Tammi clearly recognizes the appeal of adapting a property with the unique sensibilities and labyrinthine lore dictated by this film's source material, a video game franchise that can only be generously described as "idiosyncratic." Still, the basics have been streamlined enough for even the most casual viewer to grasp.

Like almost anyone else who grew up in the past 50 years, film director Emma Tammi has distinct memories of visiting a certain type of children’s entertainment restaurant. You know the kind. The place where the arcade games are plentiful, the ball pits are crowded, and the stage is full of animatronic critters who do their best to twitch on key to a prerecorded music jamboree.
There’s a universality to Tammi’s recollections about such places too. As a child, she had joyous fun playing the games, hearing the songs, and chewing on the pizza. And yet, every once in a while, she might catch a glimpse of a motorized mouse in a tuxedo, and he gave her pause.
“[I would have] so much fun and also feel an eerie presence amongst us,” Tammi says now with a laugh. “The animatronic [creature] looking sideways and then straight into your soul is a memory that stuck with me.

When the trailer for "Five Nights at Freddy's" first dropped, fans were shocked to see not just security guard Mike Schmidt, but also a little girl, his sister, Abby. It was doubly peculiar to see a scene of the small girl catching a cab with Golden Freddy, and not looking at all like someone terrified of a haunted animatronic killing machine. In fact, Abby looks delighted to be hanging out with the oversized robo-bear, which mirrored the young actor's real-life experience on set.
In an interview with SFX Magazine, director Emma Tammi talked about how the animatronics became the beloved bestie of one of the young stars of the film. "We have one 10-year-old actress, Piper Rubio, and she was so in love with these animatronics that she would hug them every day when she got to set and hug them every day when she left set," Tammi laughed.

"Five Nights at Freddy's" feels like an anomaly. On paper, it seems like all of the cards are stacked against it, but just as the original video game became a global phenomenon, the film looks to be defying the odds. The film adaptation from Blumhouse and Universal Pictures is set to go day-and-date, meaning the film will arrive in theaters on the same day that it becomes available to stream on Peacock. For most films, this would be a death knell, but for "FNaF," it weirdly makes sense. Similarly, the film has been given a PG-13 rating, typically seen as a sign the film "won't be good" by some horror fans, but the absolute perfect rating for something like "Five Nights at Freddy's." After seeing the film, I was fortunate enough to talk to director Emma Tammi about finding the balance of the film — where scary, spooky, creepy, and fun...

"Our goal is scary and original," Jason Blum said of Blumhouse at New York Comic Con 2023. "Even when we're doing IP or sequels, we always try to do something new."
Blum is a curator of the bloodcurdling, often with a dash of comedic rib-cracking. After all, he told his fans that "comedy and horror are cousins in many ways." The timing of a scare is linked to the timing of a joke. His producing credits include the likes of "M3GAN" and the "Halloween" trilogy.

Blum is a curator of the bloodcurdling, often with a dash of comedic rib-cracking. After all, he told his fans that "comedy and horror are cousins in many ways." The timing of a scare is linked to the timing of a joke. His producing credits include the likes of "M3GAN" and the "Halloween" trilogy.

Murderous animatronic mascots are disconcerting and all, but everyone knows that's not the scariest part of "Five Nights at Freddy's." No, the true horror of the mega-popular multimedia franchise is the prospect of ... having to search for a new job (shudder). The days start to blur together when you're unemployed, at least when you're not worrying about how to pay your monthly utility bills or whether you can actually afford to buy groceries this week. It's also why once you lock down your latest gig, it's hard to want to give it up, even if it does entail working the night shift at a crumbling family entertainment center where your co-workers are prone to committing homicide for funsies.
One presumes that's the same reason Mike Schmidt (Josh Hutcherson) ignores all the red flags upon being hired to operate as the late-night security guard at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza in the "Five Nights at Freddy's" movie.

A Five Nights at Freddy's designer clapped back at fan criticism over the look of the film's terrifying animatronics.
After years as a cult-hit horror video game franchise, the world of Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria is finally coming to the big screen from Blumhouse Pictures.
The film follows Mike Schmidt (played by Josh Hutcherson), a fledgling security guard who takes a job at a haunted condemned pizza place and arcade and comes face to face with a band of murderous animatronic animals.

Once upon a time, it's not inconceivable Steven Spielberg might have directed "Five Nights at Freddy's" or a film just like it. Recall that the young Spielberg loved terrorizing audiences. His first feature-length directorial effort, the made-for-tv 1971 thriller "Duel," was such an exhilarating blast that it eventually got a theatrical release. Then came his horror-adventure classic "Jaws," followed by the suburban nightmare of "Poltergeist". Hell, from a certain point of view, "Jurassic Park" is sort of like "Five Nights at Freddy's" only with dinosaurs. Sometimes when an entertainment attraction breaks down, the animatronics actually do eat the tourists.
"Five Nights at Freddy's" casts Josh Hutcherson as Mike Schmidt, an unassuming security guard who accepts a job keeping watch of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza at night, only to discover the animatronic mascots of the once-prosperous family entertainment center like to come alive and commit murder under the cover of darkness.

Did you know that the "Five Nights at Freddy's" trailer features more than one version of Freddy Fazbear? That's right. The Freddy that is shown on stage ready to sing with Bonnie, Foxy, and Chica is not the same Freddy shown in the back seat with Abby Schmidt (Piper Rubio). That Freddy is known as Golden Freddy and is a completely different character with different motivations. I know, unless you've dedicated years of your life to making sense of the lore, this might not be the easiest thing to follow. The best way I can explain it is that Golden Freddy is like ... a limited edition version of Freddy Fazbear.
He looks similar to the original character, but he's not the original character, nor is he controlled by the same child's soul. Yeah, those animatronics are controlled by the ghosts of dead kids, in case you didn't know. The games...

In 2022, Netflix released a live-action series based on the "Resident Evil" video games, just a few months removed from the "Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness" anime series for the streamer. Not to mention, Johannes Roberts' cinematic reboot, "Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City." That film came just four years after the end of Paul W.S. Anderson's mega-blockbuster film series starring Milla Jovovich, which ran concurrently with a series of unrelated animated films and many installments of the video game. This is all to say that "Resident Evil," as a property, has grown beyond just the games, and that the fandom has splintered off into a variety of directions and mediums. Trying to appease the whole of the "Resident Evil" community with an adaptation is at this point, impossible. Too many people want too many different things, and those differences are often in direct opposition to one another.

If you're not familiar with "Five Nights at Freddy's," you'd be forgiven for thinking that the titular FredBear animatronic was the big baddie of the series. Similarly, those unfamiliar with the "Saw" films might see Billy the Puppet as the ultimate villain; after all, his spiral-cheeked face is the one unsuspecting victims see on their video tapes instructing them how to survive a Saw trap. However, in both "Five Nights at Freddy's" and "Saw," there is a proverbial (or literal) human puppet master behind all of the carnage that is the true villain of their respective franchises. There are rumors that there will be at least three "Five Nights at Freddy's" films, which means there's potential that "Five Nights at Freddy's" could be the next major horror franchise if the first film performs as well as Blumhouse and Universal hope it does.

The "Five Nights at Freddy's" movie is still months away from release, but that isn't stopping fans from going frame by frame and picking apart the film's trailer looking for clues. All of the lore of the "FNaF" games is admittedly convoluted at best and confusing at worst, with tie-in books expanding storylines and in some cases, fan theories eventually becoming canonized by franchise creator, Scott Cawthon. Some of the smallest, most nothingburger moments in "Five Nights at Freddy's" canon have been later revealed as extremely important to the game's bigger picture, which is why it's odd that we've yet to actually see the pivotal event known as the "Bite of '87."
There are two major "Bites" in "FNaF" lore, one in 1983 and another in 1987. Before the "Bite of '87," animatronics were permitted to walk around the premises of Freddy Fazbear Pizzerias on their own, a key component to the...

What makes "Five Nights at Freddy's" terrifying? As a video game series that leans heavily on atmospheric fears that elevate the quality of jumpscares, the "Five Nights at Freddy's" franchise (Fnaf) is synonymous with scaring the bejeesus out of players. As this immersive, visceral quality is unique to individual gameplay or invested backseating, the upcoming "Fnaf" adaptation — which is being helmed by Emma Tammi — has its work cut out for itself when it comes to capturing the essence of the games. As a result, the Blumhouse-produced "Five Nights at Freddy's" film will need to venture beyond franchise rules and introduce fresh elements that work while still retaining the DNA of the games at its core, all while combining creepy lore and spooky elements to create a terrifying experience.

Hollywood has been trying to make a "Five Nights at Freddy's" film for nearly eight years, and this Halloween season, fans will finally get what they've been waiting for. Scott Cawthon's original "Five Nights at Freddy's" point-and-click survival horror game was an independent sensation, spawning a sprawling franchise and becoming the gateway to all things horror for a generation. There are games, books, toys, and enough fan art to fill a museum centered on the characters and their misadventures. While it doesn't seem like it'll be necessary to understand the full lore of the game to enjoy the movie, if you're the type of completionist who feels compelled to dive into the franchise before the film ... you might want to get started now. The release order of the nine canonical "Five Nights at Freddy's" games are as follows, including the year they debuted:

With the long-awaited release of Universal and Blumhouse's adaptation of "Five Nights at Freddy's" coming this Halloween, horror fans unfamiliar with the long-running video game series of the same name have been trying to catch up on all of the lore in preparation. The original point-and-click survival horror game is extremely easy to understand (be a security guard and don't die from evil animatronics coming to life to kill you) but has since expanded to 13 games and 32 books/graphic novels. That's a hell of a lot of ground to cover, and an impossibility for a single film to capture. With both the Writers Guild of America and the Screen Actors Guild -- American Federation of Television and Radio Artists currently on a dual strike until the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers provides an acceptable contract for both unions, there hasn't been a whole lot of information released regarding the film.

When Josh Hutcherson was cast in "Five Nights at Freddy's," it just made sense. Director and co-writer Emma Tammi's film adaptation of the lore-heavy hit horror video game franchise has the actor playing Mike Schmidt, an Average Joe who takes a job as the night security guard at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, unaware of that tiny issue where the entertainment center's animatronic mascots come to life and begin massacring people after midnight. Mike himself is the type of archetypical hero Hutcherson is best known for portraying; a humble everyman who must rise to the occasion in the face of extraordinary circumstances.
In a way, Hutcherson's unlikely transformation into one of this century's major genre movie and TV actors began with his first feature film, "American Splendor." One of the best comic book adaptations ever made, the film carries over the meta-narrative and autobiographical elements of Harvey Pekar's source material,...

The road from indie video game to big-screen adaptation for "Five Nights at Freddy's" has been a long one, with an assortment of delays, a full script rewrite, and a director change. Fans were starting to give up hope that the film would ever come to fruition, and considering the absolutely massive fanbase of the existing franchise, that's a whole lot of disappointed people. Fortunately, the "Fnaf" movie is a very real thing, and it's arriving just in time for spooky season 2023. The film features Matthew Lillard as William Afton, Josh Hutcherson as security guard Mike Schmidt, Elizabeth Lail as Vanessa Monroe, and Piper Rubio as Abby Schmidt, Mike's young daughter. Fans have also known for months that "Some Kind of Wonderful" and "Daniel isn't Real" star Mary Stuart Masterson was going to be playing "a villainous role," but no details regarding her character have been revealed ...
Until now.

The inherent pull of the "Five Nights at Freddy's" (Fnaf) video game series is suspense, coupled with the raw fear of what might be waiting for you in the dark. While the core premise of each installment is fairly easy to figure out in terms of objectives, the franchise places particular emphasis on keen observation, spatial awareness, and investment into character attributes. "Fnaf" enthusiasts must have been delighted when a film adaptation of the popular video game franchise was announced, followed by a trailer that showcased security guard Mike Schmidt (John Hutcherson) going through the wringer after accepting a job at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza establishment.
Just like players in the game, Mike has to keep track of video camera footage and resolve anomalies that might crop up during his night duty. However, things are more ominous than they seem, as Mike also has to contend with the four animatronic mascots...

Dark and grim, the Five Nights at Freddy’s trailer, released Tuesday, takes a look into Freddy Fazbear and friends’ world that perturbs all the fright and fears that can be expected from the video game and Blumhouse Productions.
The Emma Tammi-directed film, based on 2014’s multi-platform video game of the same name, stars Hunger Games‘ Josh Hutcherson, Scream‘s Matthew Lillard, Some Kind of Wonderful‘s Mary Stuart Masterson and You‘s Elizabeth Lail.
The spine-chilling preview sees Hutcherson as Mike Schmidt and Piper Rubio as his little sister, Abby Schmidt. In order to get by and support them, Mike calls a man named William Afton, played by Lillard, to inquire about a security job at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza.
“This place was huge in the ’80s with the kids. They shut it down years ago. The owner’s just not ready to let it go yet,” Lillard...

"Five Nights at Freddy's" is finally making the leap from the console to the big screen. The video game franchise has long been set to become a horror movie, and the first trailer gives fans a hint as to what the screen version of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza will look like.
The first "Five Nights at Freddy's" video game was released in 2014. A year later, the game's creator Scott Cawthon announced that a movie adaption was in the works - though the project hit a number of setbacks over the years, going through a series of directors before producer Jason Blum took the lead on the project in 2017, per Variety. The final product, which is set to premiere just in time for Halloween this year, will be directed by Emma Tammi.

Blumhouse has been working on an adaptation of the wickedly popular "Five Nights at Freddy's" horror video game for what feels like an eternity, turning the project into something I'd believe was coming to fruition when I saw it with my own eyes. It wasn't until the announcement of Josh Hutcherson and Matthew Lillard's casting that my skepticism finally started to crack, but once Blumhouse made it known that the film would be getting a day-and-date release between theatrical and streaming on Peacock that I finally allowed myself to get excited. Created by Scott Cawthon, the "Five Nights at Freddy's" game was first released in 2014, and completely took the world by storm. Videos of Let's Players on YouTube reacting to the jump-scare-focused point-and-click survival horror video game would constantly go viral, and its popularity with young gamers helped spawn a franchise.
