Five Nights at Freddy's

A security guard gets a job, and suddenly realises he's going to have an incredibly challenging and difficult night.

I genuinely and desperately wanted to love this film, the trailers looked so cool, and despite not being a gamer, I knew of the game.

Now, if I were judging this solely on the visuals, I'd be giving it a mammoth score, and healing praise onto it, it does look fantastic, and as for the 'locals,' they look so cool, the special effects are great, genuinely a smashing looking film, one that my fifteen year old self would have loved.

Now, the important bit, the translation from game to film, I really wish I could say it worked brilliantly, I'm not sure, I think there's something missing, does the story work? Sadly I'd have to argue that I don't think it does.

I think younger teens will genuinely enjoy this movie, for horror lovers like myself, it may be lacking a bit of bite, similar to M3GAN, very watchable, just a little tame.

6/10.
