Critics Consensus
Loaded with Easter eggs, Five Nights at Freddy's may be fun to watch for fans of the game, but most viewers of any other persuasion will find this adaptation muddled and decidedly unscary.

All this movie needs is Nic Cage and it'd be fine.

The film mostly concentrates on Mike’s familial travails and history. It flails around trying to come up with psychologically resonant characteristics for its protagonist. It ends up with an inert and implausible narrative.

A so so adaptation that's entertaining enough, but a must-see for the expertly crafted animatronics.
Rated: 3/5

There are no scares — but even worse — there’s no fun. Five Nights at Freddy’s is as predictable as it is disappointing.
Rated: 4/10

Everything has a purpose and the designs are enough that OG fans will understand everything but new fans will also pick up on the clues that are being dropped through the design.
Rated: B
