Also I'm gonna be honest and say that this video could've turned out a lot better. I barely even touched on most of what was bad with the movie and my voice over sounded pretty stilted in parts, but hopefully that'll give me the motivation to work better at the next one. Thanks for watching and hopefully enjoying despite that

    Can we all agree to never again use the phrase "tender and innocent"
  • I heard that Blumhouse will focus more on the horror aspect for the sequel
  • @tm0410
    this made me alot more thankful that I did have fun watching the movie with my friends in the theater and just enjoyed it overall pretty fine
  • @Kameko-uq5wy
    I enjoyed the movie the same way I enjoyed the games; by not thinking about them in any way whatsoever. But yeah, in that context, the main issue I have with the movie is that they don't show the animatronics more. The script really felt like a jack of all trades and a master of none. Then again, that's every Blumhouse movie.

    I have never seen in my life a better FNAF movie review . This video was well worth the 6 month wait
  • @scanchannel3259
    I hope the sequel is better because this one was just okay.

    I get scott wanted the movie universe and the game universe to be different but he could've fixed a lot of LOREEEEE in the movies that's whack in the games but it's not a horrible movie just could've been a little more scary. and the suits look amazing but they give you that joyful feeling looking at them not like how you load up jr's for the first time and your kinda scared of what they look like.
  • @thedarkroom6416
    Title is a bit clickbait lol compared to other video game adaptations this one’s solid
  • @jennifern1453
    this movie was a feel good comedy romp (and camp af) especially to me because I was rooting for the robots, and I'm ok with that. While it's supposed to be jumpscare, jumpscare, death, scary scary, blood gore, eyeballs popping out and as someone who started liking FNAF the day it dropped, thats what I expected but getting a cozy feel good movie makes me think about the journey from me having actual nightmares about being killed by Freddy and Bonnie, to now with all the memories from along the way. While an R rated version that's less camp should be dropped for people who want to see more gore and less cuddle, and this one is seen as mid by most, it's still a nice movie and the animatronics look really dang impressive, sorry for rambling TLDR: My opinion is different than yours but I still respect you, and I'm glad FNAF positively impacted you too. Have a lovely night and stay safe out there =3

    This sort of starts off as a review and ends up as a troll post

    yeah i did not really enjoy the movie i thought the art and clear work put into it was incredible but overall i wish they had just stuck to a fnaf 1 type deal (which for the most part they had, but it didn't feel like how it had when the games were first coming out and we knew nothing, like id hoped for) and used actual audios from the game, especially as someone who doesn't really try to follow the lore. if this movie wasn't pg 13 i think there could've been lots more potential for me to like it, as i wanted it to be gruesome and violent and serious feeling i guess. it just didn't really have an impact on me, and i personally believe that adapting a video game like fnaf into a movie is incredible difficult, so having the impact that i hoped for is kind of a far cry. i didn't think it was terrible or anything, just not up to expectations

    9:15 This is referring to him previously surviving a springlock failure, which can be seen by the scars created by the previous failure. Since he came back before, he believes he can come back again. Even without the scars, it isn't too hard to come to this conclusion, since he's saying it during a springlock failure, so it's likely referring to a previous failure. We even see at the end of the Movie that he's still kicking.
  • @jameslough6329
    Clearly this guy hasn’t seen the original Super Mario Bros movie, or the Silent Hill movies, or the Resident Evil movies…
  • @FruityBoi22
    Tbh I really enjoyed this movie, it was really worth the wait
  • @DIGGY_DOG
    To be honest with ya this entire movie was gonna be mid just from how long it's been in development. It should have followed it's own plot and not the plot of the fans. I think the "I always come back" line was for the references and not for the movie. The only real scary part was Baloon boy lmfao. Great video though keep it up man!

    I hope the bendy film won't end up like that. For those who don't know, the bendy franchise is focused on Joey Drew Studios, a fictional animation studio run by Joey Drew, which was responsible for numerous popular characters such as Bendy and his friends. The plot revolves around the Ink Machine, a mysterious machine created by Drew and the Gent Corporation in order to create living cartoons, which were created from the souls of Drew's employees, and is responsible for a time loop day world called the Cycle. Each game has a different protagonist trying to survive and free themselves from the horrors in the ink realm and against ink monsters such as The Ink Demon. Basically , it's the horror version of "toonstruck". Compared to FNAF, bendy is relatively more narrow and straightforward interms of its storytelling, with the most important aspect from the player is being vigilant. The characters also have more voice acting from the get go (compared to fnaf which had those a bit later in the franchise, starting with sister location). I think this film should thrive to surpass the FNAF movie in terms of audience and critical reception. For this film it should do the following three things: 1. Try not to care for the age rating 2. Try to stick to the intended genre 3. If it wants to Adapt a specific game, stick to That specific game and don't mash various things together. A few things that I think should be noted is that while it's fine to put some jokes there, they should be used in a way that fits the characters personalities. I don't think it'll be a good idea to repeat the fortBuilding scene in the five nights at Freddy's film. Now, it doesn't have to adapt everything at 100%. I do think the film will need a better opening than the one in the game, and make the ink demon more menacing than in the game (like an animalistic Jason Voorhees/Michael Myers or at best, like gordy from NOPE and Oswald's rabbit from oswald down the Rabbit hole). Maybe those are my tastes, but I think that the film should be as least practical as possible to better express the cycle's nature. Films like the upcoming harold and the purple crayon, the upcoming IF, Lyle Lyle Crocodile and the new king Kong films are what I'd go for in terms of how the less natural characters are shown. I also think the film should have a song to trademark it with, much like how it was with the FNAF film when it used the 1987 song: "talking in your sleep". In this case, the song should be "smile darn ya smile". I also have an idea for who some of the cast and crew should be: Themeatly as supervisor, screenwriter and Wally franks Mike desjardins as supervisor and thomas Connor/tom Bookpast as screenwriter and jack fain/voice of swollen Jack Ralph Bakshi as director Melanie Martinez as composer Patrick Dempsey as henry stein J.K. Simmons as Joey Drew Celeste Notley-smith as Susie Campbell Angelina Jolie as twisted Alice Daisy Reagan as Alison Angel Sean crisden as the voice of the ink demon John Meissner as the voice of piper Mat Brunet as the voice of fisher Gary McClenaghan as the voice of striker Seán McLoughlin as shawn flynn DAGames as grant cohen Dane Boedigheiner as the voice of cartoon bendy Garry chalk as the voice of cartoon Boris Lauren Synger as the voice of cartoon alice Angel Nat Faxon as the voice of cartoon charley Christopher mcullogh as the voice of cartoon barney Michelle Ruff as the voice of cartoon edgar Owen Dennis as producer (and other possible roles) Matt Braly as producer (and other possible roles) Dana Terrence as producer (and other possible roles) Cooper Smith Goodwin as producer (and other possible roles) Chris Pratt as a lost one Pedro Pascal as a lost one Jack Quaid as a lost one Josh hutcherson as a lost one Nicolas cage as a lost one Danny devito as norman polk Charles Aitken as sammy Lawrence Robert james rallison as a bendy cartoon animator Jaiden dittfach as a bendy cartoon animator Max gilardi as a bendy cartoon animator Rebecca parham as a bendy cartoon animator Adam ortiz JR. as a bendy cartoon animator Vivianne medrando as a bendy cartoon animator Daisy Haggard as Linda Lani minella as lacie benton Joe j. Thomas as bertrum piedmont I think the film itself should start with an in universe documentary film detailing the work life in Joey Drew studios akin to iron horse Cinema's the lost news reel video: https://youtu.be/WUxyj9grH5Q?si=DNUaCS0aAaPlHbl5 (During Which, the film glitches at times between joey treating them good and Joey treating them horribly). I also wanted to have a scene that shows how Henry "got" his letter from joey (while also spending time with his wife and maybe kids if he has some).

    My only problem with the movie was that it was made by Blumhouse and its PG-13. That's all.
