Video game movies used to be a huge joke in Hollywood with alot of them being just as bad as the one that came before it. Yet in recent years they've been getting better and better with Hollywood putting in alot more time and effort into actually creating an actually good video game movie and well we have yet another brand new video game movie out there for us all to watch and well I thought that i'd check this movie out and so then join me as I review the movie that sees a Scream legend make his grand return to the world of horror films with the film in question being called simply just "Five Night's At Freddy's" enjoy.
The plot of this film is when down on his luck Mike Schmidt gets a new job as a security officer at an run down kids restaurant he discovers the restaurant holds many deadly secrets. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in al; honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty pretty bad as this films plot can best be described as being rather weak at best with the plot of the being so weak that it's hard to work out what the actual plot of the film actually is with this films plot also being rather dull and boring as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Starring in this film is Josh Hutcherson as Mike Schmidt , Piper Rubio as Abby and Elizabeth Lail as Vanessa. Also starring in this film is Mary Stuart Masterson as Aunt Jane , Kat Conner Sterling as Max , David Lind as Jeff , Christian Stokes as Hank , Joseph Poliquin as Carl , Grant Feely as Blonde Boy Ghost Kid , Asher Colton Spence as Hook Ghost Kid , David Houston Doty as Bunny Ears Ghost Kid , Liam Hendrix as Hat Ghost Kid , Jophielle Love as Blue-Eyed Girl Ghost Kid , Roger Joseph Manning Jr. as The Voice Of Foxy , Tadasay Young as Dr. Lillian , Lucas Grant as Garrett , Michael P. Sullivan as Doug and Matthew Lillard as Steve Raglan.
Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about thew actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad. However that's also the issue as the acting in this film isn't that good either as while we do get some decent performances in this film we also get alot more bad performances and heck even Matthew Lillard who is usually really good and as is a good actor plays his role like he's playing a less twisted version of Stu of Scream which just isn't right for his role in this film and while Josh Hutcherson does try to turn in a good performance he ad the rest of this films cast for that matter just elevate this films bad and predictable script.
This film is of course based of off the 2014 video game of the exact game with even the creator of the game Scott Cawthon serving as this films co-writer and co-producer. I will admit that I have never and will never play any of the games but based of off the games Wikipedia page it seems like the games have no real plot to them at all which makes me wonder why they chose to make this movie outside of the games being popular for about five minuets which means that the film had to make up this boring plot which shouldn't have been the case as the games creator worked on writing the script for the movie and yet this boring plot was the best that they could come up with.
Not really helping things is the fact that this films characters just aren't really all that interesting in the slightest. With none of them having much in the way of a personality which is fine for the game as the game is told in the first person and so the gamer can make up the characters personalities but for the movie adaptation the makers of this film should have made the effort to give the characters some sort of personality which would help to make the characters actually likable instead of just having not even be cardboard cutout of characters as is the case with the characters in this film and while not having a personality does make sense for the animatronics it's something that well ever work for the films human characters.
For some strange reason this film was released not only in cinemas but also on Peacock on the exact same day. Which just doesn't work anymore as cinemas are now fully open and plus by releasing it the exact same day and date on Peacock without a paywall it means that the film won't be able to make as much money because given the choice between watching a movie for free in the comfort of your own home or paying to go and see that exact same movie alot of people are going to take the free option just because of the fact that it would mean that they could watch the movie in the comfort of their homes and while yes this movie is currently making alot of money at the box office it's not going to make as much as money as it perhaps could have done.
This movie does try to have get a romance going between Josh Hutcherson's character and Elizabeth Lail's character. Which is something that really doesn't work as the two characters really don't have any chemistry together whatsoever with the two actors feeling more like that they just met each other that day with this not really being helped by the fact that the film that there in really doesn't call for a romance to be added as there's no situation in which the romance could be fully developed in the slightest which means that the whole things just comes of as being rather half baked when it really didn't need to be.
Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and forty nine minuets and twenty eight seconds. Which really is such a long time for this film to have especially when you take into account that for large portions of this films running time nothing is happening to advance the overall plot of the film which wouldn't be a bad thing if they were developing the characters in any way but there not doing that instead all they are doing is just watching the characters just go abut their day to days lives and there's only is long that you can see that before you start getting bored which happens really quickly in this film with this no really being helped by the fact that the film has some pretty bad pacing to it.
So now then as this is a horror film that means that I have to actually talk about the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad. AS we do get to see some pretty creative kills but what really lets all of this films ills down is the fact that we don't get to see alot of the kills in this film with the camera panning away before we get to see what actually killed certain characters and while that approach worked for films M3gan for example for a film that based of off a horror video game they really should have shown us all of the kills in this film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Overall this film really wasn't as fun as could or even should have been which is a shame because this film had all of the ingredients to be a really fun film and yet all we got was a rather depressing mess of a film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that means that this very film earns itself a grand old score of exactly a 5 out of 10 from me.
Now then as for where I personally got all of the images tat I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Five Night's At Freddy's fandom wiki page , MP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images from this film being Google Images simply because Google Images actually has images from this film up on Google Images and plus pretty much much all of the images that I personally found on Google Images were all really very fairly high quality and as well as being as really very fairly high definition as well and so then horror fans we end this review as we always do with really our one and true goddess Elvira wishing us all some really very unpleasant dreams.
