Critics Consensus

Loaded with Easter eggs, Five Nights at Freddy's may be fun to watch for fans of the game, but most viewers of any other persuasion will find this adaptation muddled and decidedly unscary.

All this movie needs is Nic Cage and it'd be fine.

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.

A so so adaptation that's entertaining enough, but a must-see for the expertly crafted animatronics.

4/10

In determining what type of movie this is going to be, there is really only one piece of information that you need to know. It’s starring Josh Hutcherson. So you can expect to get a rather harmless horror movie that has a subtle moodiness.

One might argue the film leans too hard into fan service, with Easter eggs galore for game devotees, but that’s also its strength—it’s a victory lap for a franchise that turned a niche indie game into a global obsession.

Freddy's Fazbear's Pizza's menu on the big screen is more cold than hot. (...) That said, it's still an entertaining movie. [Full Review in Spanish]
