Five Nights at Freddy's (2023)

The latest Blumhouse offering tries to expand the story beyond the source material but loses sight of the horror aspects in the process. In theaters and on Peacock beginning October 27th, ‘Five Nights at Freddy’s’ is an attempt by horror powerhouse Blumhouse to channel the wildly popular video game franchise, in a way that fans will appreciate, while also making the story work for those who’ve never heard of the cult titles.

It’s a fine line to walk, and not one that the movie always succeeds at, looking to cram in a rarely convincing emotional throughline for its main character, one the script can’t really support.
