Five Nights at Freddy’s is here and ready to make you question society's need for animatronics. The horror movie, starring Josh Hutcherson (!), follows a young man who becomes a security guard at Freddy Fazzbear’s Pizzeria, a defunct party destination for kids. It should be easy enough—all he has to do is watch the party mascots overnight. There’s just one issue: They’re all possessed by dead children.
The epic battle between Hutcherson and a league of extremely tall toys begins now. Five Nights at Freddy's premieres today, October 27, in theaters and on Peacock. For the full cinematic experience, we recommend watching Hutcherson run for his life on the big screen. However, if the premise of giant killer toys is unsettling to you, it might be better to tune in from home. Just keep a light on, because the story has a killer cliffhanger.
Before I explain, let’s rewind a little. Five Nights at Freddy’s is based on a popular video game franchise. Given that there are multiple games in the series, fans wondered if multiple movies are in the works, too. Well, Universal Pictures—the film's distributor—has yet to confirm, but Five Nights at Freddy’s does have a not-so-secret post-credit scene that teases what’s to come.
In the teaser, we see the outside of Freddy Fazzbear’s Pizzeria. Then the camera pans to a taxi driver (played by video-game YouTuber, Cory Devanté Williams) who survives the mayhem. While sitting in his car, he hears a knock on the window. He says he’s closed. Before he can drive off, he turns around to find Balloon Boy sitting in the backseat. If you're unfamiliar with Balloon Boy, he's introduced in the second Five Nights at Freddy’s game—so, chances are, a sequel is in the works.
In the meantime, you’ll have to watch Five Nights at Freddy’s to see what happens to Hutcherson and the rest of the cast. If the trailer is any indication, they’re in for a wild ride.
