Short version: …Well, my kid loved it.
Slightly longer version: I didn’t endure or survive FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY’S. It wasn’t horrible. I, however, did not attend the same movie as my son. My son watched the movie where he got all the references, caught all the Easter Eggs, and recognized the cameos (there were apparently quite a few). In short, he was the target audience for this movie, and I’m glad he had a good time watching it.
If I can ask.. did it work as a movie?
Thinking about the Cowboy Bebop debacle.. and how it worked, more or less, at throwing up inside references, but not as an exercise in storytelling… and wondering if Freddy’s did better.
Second-newest nephew is almost in the right demographic for 5NAF so …

It was pretty paint-by-the-numbers, with no real plot twists or surprises. It did have a working narrative. It made more coherent sense than, say, Morbius.
