I’ll be honest with you. As much as I love video games and love horror games above all else, I’ve never been able to connect with the Five Nights at Freddy’s franchise. I don’t know why I have such a hard time with it, but I do.
Because of this disconnect, I had very little hope for the movie adaptation when it was first announced, but man, oh man, was I wrong. While the first official teaser for the movie adaption is just that, a teaser, it looks great, in a cheesy B-grade horror kind of way.
The Five Nights At Freddy movie adaptation hasn’t been smooth sailing. The movie was first announced in 2015 with a whole crew attached, but in 2017, the project was killed.
Shortly after that, the film rights were transferred over to Universal. Since then, it has gone through everything from crew changes to script issues.
However, now that the teaser has dropped, we can all agree that these issues and obstacles were for the best because the film being teased now looks terrifyingly terrific.
