I will admit, I am not a fan of the games, my son however, is a big fan!
He was keen to watch this movie and I have to say the trailer looked ok so we did, and my expectations were not high.
Five Nights at Freddy's sets up quite well, the characters were interesting enough and the visuals are nice and gritty.
It didn't take long to wonder how the movie rated as a 15 though. It is like they started to tone it down to make it a 12, but couldn't quite sneak it under the threshold. It was disappointing, the creepiness wasn't creepy, the horror wasn't horrific, the violence was timid. The whole thing felt as though it was made for a younger audience.
I can't give it more than 5/10 Not because it's bad, but because it missed the chance to be far better.
