Five Nights at Freddy's is an adaptation of a children's horror video game.
With a relatively unknown director, Emma Tammi, the film relies on its source material, Scott Cawthon, and creative liberties, Seth Cuddeback. There was some poor dialogue in some of the character-building and exposition scenes but the film allows you to suspend your disbelief.
Josh Hutcherson plays Mike the main character who's just trying to take care of his sister played by Piper Rubio. You might remember Josh from The Hunger Games as Peeta. He tries to carry the movie and does a mediocre job in doing so. He's still a one-note-Andy.
He does have a sort of unspoken romance with Elizabeth Lail's character. Elizabeth has this sort of look that Mackenzie Davis really pioneered and a first I thought she was mimicking her. She does tend to over-act a tad but that might be due to her TV background and inexperienced director.
The CG was good, didn't see anything outstanding there. The dialogue had the most problems and for a kids scary movie rated PG-13, it scared my kids. It wasn't that scary otherwise. Result: C+
