Five Nights at Freddy's reviewed by A.A. Dowd. Narrated by Clint Gage.
Scott Cawthon helped produce this big-screen adaptation of his own indie horror phenomenon, but you wouldn't really guess as much. Expanding the game's simple, primal premise with a surfeit of character melodrama – at last, we learn the tragic backstory of security guard Mike Schmidt! – it's a Five Nights at Freddy's that labors under the bizarre assumption that the loyal fanbase wants a lot of extraneous plot surrounding the fun-center horror. Switch off the monitor, slam the door, or just play the game instead.
