  Five Nights at Freddy's 2023

  ★★★ Watched 29 Oct 2023 1

  (CW: MatPat cameo)

  Utterly FNAFtastic, sure to gross a fazbillion dollars within the first week.

  This movie is stupid fun, and incredibly camp - while also being chicken soup for the zoomer soul. Utterly silly, but with interesting enough characters (for the most part) that it isn't JUST carried by the absurdity of it.

  Josh Hutcherson was actually pretty great in this, I enjoyed the focus on his character and relationships - despite the ensemble outside of his character being carbon copies of classic and easy tropes.

  Fun watch, likely even better while wildly inebriated. We gave it a standing ovation.

  Incredibly fun film, an incredible successor to the first spiderverse movie. My only gripe with it is that we're still awaiting its conclusion - into the spiderverse was such an incredibly well contained story that alluded to a larger picture, that the cliffhanger here feels strange and empty.

  Ultimately that's my only complaint, the visuals and audio somehow managed to step up from the incredible execution of it's predecessor, can't recommend these movies enough.

  The pacing feels refreshing to the standard of horror flicks today. Despite seeing everything sway from normality, the audience is never given more context than the characters. As we're dragged further down the rabbit hole with them, the movie constantly plays off the question: how can this…
