Five Nights At Freddy's

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
So, it was a packed showing. Obviously one anecdote isn't evidence by itself, but I've only seen my cinema this packed when Avengers was showing. I see a massive critic/crowd disparity with this.

But man...I enjoyed it, but at the same time the film was kind of heartbreaking. It wasn't bad, but there was just a little less gore than it needed, a little less edge, a little bit too long...nothing that drags the film down by itself, but definitely adds up less than the sum of its parts.

Puppets were fantastic, but didn't get enough opportunity to flex their stuff. Incredible work on their facial animation though, and I will always give credit to films that don't abuse CGI. Willy's Wonderland relied on it too much by comparison, and it hurt the experience.

Some neat kills but the gore was conspicuous by its absence. Didn't expect intestines to be falling out of sobbing children, but someone gets bitten in half and there's barely a dollop of ketchup. I had a hope they were saving it for the finale - for a moment the horror of the setting really comes to the forefront and it threatens to turn into Saw...but then nothing but some crunchy sound. Would have salvaged the movie if they'd gone all out on That One Scene.

Springtrap sounding and moving like a fucking space marine was fun. Really felt the weight of the suits.

I would watch it again, but oof...this is definitely first draft material.

Also I say again, the burglars should have been the youtuber cameos. When Matpat appeared there was a collective groan in the cinema, lmao

the only payoff the subplot about the comically evil aunt had was her henchmen being murdered and it never showed it
plus, vanessa was only used to give mike exposition and warn him uselessly, which is kinda a waste of a character
i wouldve cut it down to the situation with abby, the ghosts and mike's abducted brother

This movie is fucking trash, there was nothing scary about it, not even the Animatronics.
I'm sorry but this movie lost me the second the entire cast INCLUDING the Animatronics lying down and SLEEP TOGETHER, or when they fucking build a pillowfort.
When the hell did FNAF 1-6 have ANYTHING like that?
Or how about that the Cupcake gets the most screen time attacking humans and barely any of the others outside of maybe Foxy.
Plus that pitiful ending with the Springlocking, I've seen kid shows with more intense acting and "death" scenes, it looks like he was stabbed once and was pretending to die.
Bitch didn't even sputter a bit of blood, not even a drop.
Where's the actual Animatronics hunting the Nightguard down like in the game, or when the power goes out and Freddy starts to Sing with his eyes full bright, where's ANY actual hauntings and tension from FNAF1 or any FNAF game?

I was really excited for this because I figured it'd be a back to basics FNAF 1-3 horror, more terror and suspense. It doesn't even need fucking gore just SOMETHING.

Honestly, if the theory is true that the Banana Splits was based on a recycled/trashed script from the FNAF movie, then my god I wish they just went with that officially cause The Banana Splits Movie is better than this garbage.
Speaking of Scripts, I knew his previous Scripts for the movie were redflags, none of them sounded like FNAF.
 
Did anyone see any interesting characters around the theater when they went to see the movie in person? I saw cosplayers straight out of 2015 wearing human versions of the animatronics. I saw a couple with Foxy/Mangle masks as well. I think if you’re going tomorrow night, you’ll definitely see some people.

First of all, the visual/practical effects team nailed it out of the park with this movie. It’s clear that most of the budget went to making the areas and characters look exactly right. However, I’ve always predicted that the visual effects are a massive smokescreen. Most of the fans that like this movie will talk solely about the visuals, not realizing there is a plot with characters and dialogue. All of which are poorly written and comical.

I don’t know why, but this movie was really boring. Maybe it’s more interesting if you’re pointing at the screen constantly when you see something you know.

I thought it was strange that they built the plot around the dream theory, almost like Scott told the writing team that he liked the idea so much that he wanted to make a movie out of it. It lends credence to the idea that Scott just builds his stories off the interpretations the fans make.
 
I don't know why this annoyed me so much, but I hate the fact that the weird face shredding machine from the trailer is just never explained. At all. What it does, why it's there, just never elaborated on.

I think it kinda sums up the problem with this movie. They completely gave up on making it accessable to non-fans, and expected you to just roll with the punches. Ghost children exist? Yeah, no need to question that. Why didn't get find the bodies in the robots? They just didn't look because why would they? (I cannot believe that was the actual reason used in the movie)

The pillow fort montage was amazing and fuck anyone who disagrees.
the whiplash from being sinister threats to building pillow forts wouldve killed someone
i think only leaving in the scene where fred funbear and the rest are trying to protect abby would achieve the same thing but more subtle
Or how about that the Cupcake gets the most screen time attacking humans and barely any of the others outside of maybe Foxy.
i'd cut out all the kills because the little prologue already establishes that the robots murder guards, but i agree that the burglars who were only introduced to be killed should've died better

The FNAF Movie was conceptualized all the way back in 2015, shortly before the release of FNAF 4. It's possible the DT plot was a holdover from that time period, or was put in after the fact because they felt it was a crucial part of the 'classic FNAF' era they were trying to recapture here.
 
The comment of the dude not understanding how coomers justify sexualizing an animatronic that's haunted by a dead child. Dude's overthinking it.

If it looks fuckable, lore doesn't matter, only what's on the screen because it activates the neuron. No one who jerks off to FNAF porn thinks about FNAF lore, and same goes for all Rule 34 shit.

However that one comment has nothing on xman's vids. Besides the fact that he does pornographic content for kids and YouTube doesn't do shit about it is one thing, however the vids themselves are just grating to me for two reasons:

1) his attempts at voice acting are just fucking horrendous and make my ears bleed.
2) he's using GMod, which is based off of like Half-Life 2 Source, and all the models he's using look like shit because they're completely matte as they were never meant to be used in GMod's graphical engine, and then he does something a fucking 9 year old in 2012 would do for his GMod machinimas, which is dragging the fucking ragdolls around and using the player camera as your main camera. I think 9 year olds in 2012 put it more effort than that.

To be honest, dragging model ragdolls around like that to mimic sex animations is probably just him adjusting to his viewerbase, as shown on the video below.

can't find an archive of the picture but here's some replies.

More like "Euthanasion.Now"
Jesus Christ, I didn't know it was on this level, I think this could even be posted in some random furfag thread, I guess he must have forgotten the meds for 5 days straight. There really is no limits to parasocial relationships when you can even get obsessed with a cgi possum from a movie that's 17 years old. The sad part is that things like this are already common place now.

Also some new for the movie:

New posters appeared in Rotten Tomatoes that are just the original ones but with no red eyes

Also the movie is rumored to have already made it's budget back from selling it to cinemas

You can also see the box office predictions that movie is gonna make it's budget back regardless

All that I'm saying is that if this turns out to be true you can completely expect a sequel

I wonder if Scott will be involved in a possible sequel too. He DID say that the movie was the last Fnaf related thing he would be involved with but its my belief that the movie turned out to be a "made for the fans" sort of movie and not a disaster thanks to his supervision (which caused a lot of delays admitingly...apparently he rejected a LOT of bad scripts).
THIS is DirectDoggo now? Did he fuck himself up on crystal meth after Dayshift or something? This dude's talking like his frontal lobe is hanging by a thread.

We found the Bite of 87 victim.

"Yeaaah. Its amazing that the body can live without the frontal lobe"
An update about the guy with the Ozzy fetish, apparently he isn't the creator the creator of dayshift at freddy's I just confused him with another fangame creator with a very similar name

https://gamejolt.com/@DirectDogman https://gamejolt.com/@DoctorDoggo https://twitter.com/DirectDoggo

I'm sorry I guess I should have checked before saying it was him I had a bit of a mandela effect and was sure it was him, apologies for spreading misinformation

As for the actual dsaf creator, he seems to be a sane individual and not a lunatic

As for the actual Ozzy guy, he already sent his goodbyes on social media and it looks like he will indeed go to the psych yard

https://gamejolt.com/p/goodbye-i-ll-miss-you-all-so-much-3cf5bctr This post probably means that it is indeed over

There is a probable chance that this is some sort of internet stunt for attention, but I wouldn't make myself look like a complete deranged mentally unwell individual who is gonna be locked up in a psych ward just to get internet sympathy points, specially if the cause of my supposed episode is a cartoon character

This could also be some elaborate form of trolling, but this individual doesn't seem like the kind to do something like it, and lying about self harming for a joke would probably destroy his career anyway

("Two-Face is just like Batman because he's also got two sides to his personality!") when really no, anyone can read the damn comics and see they never had those kind of ambitions (or pretensions, whatever you want to call them) and even the authors will tell you "no we created him because horror comics were popular at the time so we wanted a horror character."

I dont mind if Two Face has that sort of sub-context now but to pretend it was always there ? Nah. All these unique dynamics and meanings he has with his villains were done over several decades with different writings building upon the other with their different interpretations eventually coming up with something significant to keep around for future interpretations.

Its like pretending Mr Freeze was always this tragic character that walks the thin line between villain and anti-hero when he only started to become this when BTAS reinterpretated him this way and it was received so well it became "canon" to his character as a whole.
However Scott Cawthon did comment on the stream saying that he might appear on a sequel

Man, Scott has his flaws but he can be just so damn wholesome at times.
 
My biggest hope with the FNAF Movie Series, since it will likely get a sequel at least, is that Scott actually tries to tell a coherent story and doesn't go bat shit insane like the game's stories did.

I saw the movie earlier and I say it's not the greatest movie out there but it was still enjoyable to watch. For a movie that went through development hell for nine years, it could've been worse. Although critics are being snobbish about it, I'm glad the film is doing good in the box office with a good chance of a sequel coming. I can see the potential of film work being improved and flow of it. cause my main complaint with the film is the flow and handling of subplots.

I do agree I wish there be a little more gore and horror elements in it, but at same time I don't see them really ever doing a R rated theatrical release just to show more gore. Especially cause they're still trying to tailor to the teen and kid demographic. R rated FNAF movie would be cool, but I just don't see it coming to light. Unless there's a FNAF spin off film for more adult audiences or if we get to FNAF 4 movie.

I will say I was also pleased with the Springtrap scene at the end with the springlocks. Was nice to see something on the big screen you were waiting for nine years happen. I kind of hope they keep Shaggy around to be William Afton for future films.


I leave with one last question for you all however, How do you feel about the character change for Vanessa in the film? do you like the route it's going in the film or like how in the game she was more of a computer programmer brainwashed by William instead?
 
I watched it and as expected, it was fucking garbage. It has some cool moments like Matthew Lillard's mindless appearance, which he was sadly killed after a few minutes of screen time. I do have to say that the actual animatronics in this movie are very detailed and look better than the shitty graphics in the original games. However, all these positives I have are not to convey this movie as something good, it's just another shit video game movie even if I'm not the targeted audience. Just watch Willy's Wonderland or the Banana Splits Movie instead.

I saw a girl dressed as Circus Baby and a guy with a Foxy mask, both part of the same group.

I don’t know why, but this movie was really boring. Maybe it’s more interesting if you’re pointing at the screen constantly when you see something you know.
A girl sitting a couple seats away from me was incapable of shutting the fuck up throughout the entire movie. "Oh my god look, it's Foxy! Oh my god! Run!"

Scott Cawthon has a better understanding what his audiences of kids and Latinos want than Hollywood. People overlook how popular FNAF is in Mexico. There are more high quality bootleg toys coming out of Mexico than China and Russia. FNAF has always been appealing to Latinos because it has strong traditional family values undertones. If you grow up in the 90s, you will know goosebumps are extra big among Latino kids. Not only more paying Zoomers showed up to watch FNAF than The Flash. FNAF had more Latino support for the FNAF movie on opening day than Blue beetle had its whole run.

I think the movie is self aware that Vanessa from Security Breach was hardly the most popular. So its trying maybe something slightly different with a slower approach. We may still get Vanny but the movie is taking its time to get to know Vanessa before we see this "evil" version of hers.

Her being in a coma is basically the creators leaving her character on a hiatus. Either she comes back for the sequel or maybe a few entries from now on, maybe to seem like everything is fine at first and have her back at a security job. We may even get Gregory at one point if it ever goes that far.
 
Any word on how much money this thing is making? A quick glance at RT shows the expected: torn apart by critics, but the fans are going nuts for it.

They will probably do a Sister Location movie as the sequel... maybe incorporate Pizza Simulator in it too so that they can establish Security Breach for the 3rd movie since the "secret ending" proves that huge building was built ontop of Pizza Simulator . Have Vanessa at the end of 2 wake up from her coma, become evil, and then be the villain for the 3rd movie. the FNAF movie series would be a neat little trilogy that "loosely" ties the games into a bow.
