Five Nights at Freddy's
Overview
Five Nights at Freddy's is a 2023 supernatural horror film directed by Emma Tammi, based on the popular video game franchise of the same name. The film stars Josh Hutcherson as Mike Schmidt, a troubled security guard who takes a job at a abandoned family entertainment center, Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. He discovers that the restaurant's animatronic characters — Freddy Fazbear, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy — are alive and hostile. He must survive five nights while being hunted by the animatronics. The film is a faithful adaptation of the games, with a focus on atmosphere, suspense, and jump scares. The animatronics are brought to life through a combination of puppetry and CGI. The film was a massive commercial success, earning over $290 million on a $20 million budget, making it the highest-grossing horror film of 2023. It was panned by critics, but it was beloved by fans of the games.
