14 October 2024

Five Nights at Freddy's (2023)

The terrifying horror game phenomenon Five Nights at Freddy's comes to life as last year’s highest-grossing horror of the year globally. 

Produced by Blumhouse (M3GAN, Get Out), Five Nights at Freddy's follows Mike (Josh Hutcherson from The Hunger Games), a troubled young man caring for his 10-year-old sister, Abby. Recently fired and desperate for work so that he can keep custody of Abby, Mike agrees to take a position as a night security guard at an abandoned theme restaurant: Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria. But Mike soon discovers that nothing at Freddy's is what it seems as he is dragged into the black heart of an unspeakable nightmare. 

Five Nights at Freddy's also stars Elizabeth Lail (Gossip Girl, You), Mary Stuart Masterson, and Kids’ Choice winner Matthew Lillard (Good Girls), with cameos from YouTube megastars Cory Williams (aka CoryxKenshin) and Matthew Patrick (aka MatPat).

Nominated for Drama Movie of the Year at the 2024 People’s Choice Awards and for Best Creature FX for Jim Henson's Creature Shop at the Fangoria Chainsaw Awards, Five Nights at Freddy's already has a sequel in production.
