I really enjoyed about a half hour or so of this engrossing film. I have never played the game nor ever will. But the movie was really interesting up to a point, when the farcical elements became too apparent.
I mean utterly ridiculous. This borders on the realm of fantasy horror. Stick to real life. There are more unusual stories based on actual events than made up fantasies. However I'm being a little lenient here because the film is based on a PC game and with all the tongue in cheek dark humor therein.
Plot: it is a dark tale indeed. A man lost his brother when he was a young boy, kidnapped in broad daylight at a park. He witnessed the kidnapping but is unable to communicate this to his parents and save his brother. He is tormented by this guilt up to his adult life. Things take a mysterious turn when he gets a job as a night guard at an abandoned family diner known as Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. There he falls asleep and starts dreaming again of the same day his brother was kidnapped. Watch the film to find out what happens next...
Verdict: much better than most of the dull horror films I have seen this year like Pet Sematary Bloodlines and Exorcist Believer. This is a very good movie but as the old adage goes, "too many cooks spoil the broth". If kept to reality, rather than supernatural horror, this would have been a very good movie.
