I originally had no interest in this. I really like Columbus as a director and when I heard he took over from Gil Kenan as director I became majorly interested. This won't be the first time he's done a movie with Video games as the basis.
Also he did a pretty good job with the first 2 Harry Potter movies and the Home Alone movies. I just hope this doesen't feel like a kids movie with scary elements. The story around Fnaf is very dark and would be better told in an R rated movie. I can see him going the pg-13 route for this which isn't bad,but R would definitely be better.
What does everyone else think of this?

Someone like James Wan or Mike Flanagan or Alexandre Aja perhaps, like a solid genre filmmaker would have been my choice. And they go with the dude from Home Alone? |

Well he did do the whole "alone" thing really work in Home Alone. My problem with Chris as director is that I think he's gonna turn it into a kids movie but with horror elements. Also James Wan would never touch something like Five Nights at Freddy's. At least I don't think he would. |

If the concept of a movie sounds silly, should the makers treat the material seriously? Normally, I’d say yes. It takes talent and creativity to take a story that most people assume has no depth and give it a twist. However, there are exceptions, like a story about the colorful animatronics of an abandoned family restaurant who come to life and start killing people. The murder sequences in FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY’S were supposed to be fun, but the ridiculousness isn’t emphasized enough. And most of the running time is dedicated to the family issues that Mike Schmidt (the restaurant’s new security guard) goes through. The tone of those scenes is so dramatic that it feels like a different movie. It’s based on a video game, in which the evil mascots would pop up in front you, the player, at any random moment. And even when nothing was happening, the location’s atmosphere was creepy enough. Why would the screen tell you that you lost before showing the murder itself? Because having these uncanny valley creatures come near you or ever stare at you while making weird noises is traumatizing enough. This combination of jump scares and the first person point of view is more suited for short online content. In fact, a lot of people had more fun watching reaction videos than playing the game themselves. That’s another reason why this adaptation’s approach needed to be campier. It was never going to work as a feature-length film that leans more towards horror than comedy.
3/10
