Can you survive five nights? The terrifying horror game phenomenon becomes a blood-chilling cinematic event, as Blumhouse – the producer of 3GAN, The Black Phone and The Invisible Man – brings Five Nights at Freddy’s to the big screen.
Five Nights at Freddy’s is a supernatural horror film based on the video game series and franchise of the same name.
The film follows the troubled Mike Schmidt (Josh Hutcherson) as he begins working at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza, where the previous night a security guard desperately attempted to flee from an unseen force but was captured and strapped to a torture device, which mutilates his face and kills him.
Schmidt is fired from his job as a shopping mall guard after assaulting a negligent father whom he mistook for a kidnapper. Mike’s career counsellor, Steve Raglan, offers him a job as a night guard at Freddy’s. Though initially reluctant, Mike accepts after social services threaten to take custody of his younger sister Abby and pass her over to their estranged aunt Jane, who desires only the custody’s monthly payments.
On the first night, Mike falls asleep and dreams about his brother Garrett’s kidnapping; he also sees five children who witnessed it but when Mike tries to approach them, they run away. On the second night, Mike has the same dream, but when he attempts to confront one of the children, he is attacked, causing him to awaken…
Will Mike last five nights?
