Five Nights at Freddy's

"A campy, gruesome, and gloriously funny good time."

"Deeply puzzling and tonally bananas."

"A missed opportunity without any of the promised scares."

"Five Nights at Freddy's is funny, has a couple of terrific jump scares and a surprisingly involving script."

"A snooze."

"Bloodless kiddie horror."

"It’s a fun gateway horror movie for kids—and the easily scared who want to test their limits lightly."

"Not a terrible effort by any stretch, but not a need-to-immediately-see one either."

"Compelling and scary enough to beg for sequels."

"Cuddly gateway horror."

"No fun whatsoever."

"Has a good heart but feels a little toothless for something with so many killer robots."

"A rare misfire for Blumhouse."

"Five Nights at Freddy’s has absolutely no idea what kind of ride it wants to be."

"More interested in unpacking childhood trauma than packing in jump scares."

"Five Nights At Freddy's is four nights too many."

"One of the poorest films in any genre this year."

"A little half-baked."

"Just play the game instead."

"In the game... (the) pace is speedy, the threats are many. It’s all about staying alive. The problem for the movie audience is staying awake."

"Unscary and unfun."

"Would've made more sense as a straight-up R-rated splatterfest."

"While there’s enough ambient dread... to indicate why the video games are so popular, there’s more by-the-numbers plotting than needed."

"Like Teletubbies with chainsaws... it’s absurd. But not in a good way."

"A wasted opportunity – nobody involved has a feel for the material."
