Five Nights at Freddy's | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Tim Cogshell FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) All this movie needs is Nic Cage and it'd be fine. Nov 29, 2023 Full Review Five Nights at Freddy's | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Murtada Elfadl Variety The film mostly concentrates on Mike’s familial travails and history. It flails around trying to come up with psychologically resonant characteristics for its protagonist. It ends up with an inert and implausible narrative. Nov 25, 2023 Full Review Five Nights at Freddy's | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Perri Nemiroff Perri Nemiroff (YouTube) A so so adaptation that's entertaining enough, but a must-see for the expertly crafted animatronics. Rated: 3/5 Nov 2, 2023 Full Review Five Nights at Freddy's | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Joshua Ryan FandomWire There are no scares — but even worse — there’s no fun. Five Nights at Freddy’s is as predictable as it is disappointing. Rated: 4/10 Jul 28, 2024 Full Review Five Nights at Freddy's | Rotten Tomatoes (5) May Leitz Nyx Fears I don't know if my brain will maintain its cranial structural integrity... Mar 19, 2024 Full Review Five Nights at Freddy's | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Lyra Hale Fangirlish Everything has a purpose and the designs are enough that OG fans will understand everything but new fans will also pick up on the clues that are being dropped through the design.

LargeMetallicFellow When they said they were making this movie specifically for the fans, they weren't lying. The animatronics looked amazing, the horror was tense, and the acting was really good as well. Also happy to see one of my favorite villains finally appear on screen. And remember, he always comes back. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/25/24 Full Review Emyr My brother and I loved it Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/21/24 Full Review Jason A As a fan of the video games, it warms my heart that this movie is exactly what I wanted. There’s a lot of Easter eggs and material. That reminded me of those good old days when I was in middle school waiting to see the next week or any updates on the next game. Definitely recommend checking it out and can’t wait for the sequel. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/04/24 Full Review Jason perez As someone who has grown with the five night at Freddy franchise is was a incredible movie to watch Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/06/24 Full Review Ze Wasn't perfect but it was worth the wait Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/04/24 Full Review Gazzle Everyone dies except Freddy Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/26/24 Full Review Read all reviews
