106 - "Five Nights at Freddy's"

"Five Nights at Freddy's" is a film I never thought would ever be made especially at the fact it's from a famous video game and even more so that Blumhouse made it. All right, well, you did it. It's a success in the box office coming out during the week of Halloween 2023. Great job on that too. However, this film suffers from a screenplay we are expected to believe everything we see. A lot of logic goes out the window in the film especially how certain aspects of character action somewhow connect to the third. No explanation, it just happens. I do like the production design of the film as well as the cinematography. It feels eerie seeing the closed down interiors of the pizzeria. I dig how the colors pop even in dark lit scenes in the film. It's a bit too much where the kids disappear into the darkness only to come out as the animatronic.Laaaaame. Josh Hutcherson deserved more for this film. The man can act his ass off, I wish he was given more range so i can actually get behind this character. Oddly enough, they carry this film. The things happen but the character is what pushes it. I felt like things needed to randomly happen for the story to move forward. I can't behind that except for some of comedy said by certain characters. Overall, if you love the game, watch this film. If you want to see how robots kill people even though they are operated by their souls - watch this film.

What more freaky do you need? It's there. But it's not for me. It's too easy.
