The Five Nights at Freddy’s trailer is chock-full of “hell no” moments.
Should down-on-his-luck Mike Schmidt (Josh Hutcherson) take a job as a security guard at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza? Hell no. Should he bring his younger sister Abby (Piper Rubio) along for the ride? Hell no. And should he stay in the pizzeria when the restaurant’s creepy animatronics start coming to life? Say it with me — hell no. But we wouldn’t have a movie if the characters ignored any of these red flags, so it’s off to Freddy Fazbear’s with us, where horrific delights lie in wait.
This adaptation of the viral horror game comes to us courtesy of Blumhouse, who’ve already hit a horror home run this year with M3GAN. Suffice it to say, freaky dolls are in their wheelhouse, and the animatronics of Five Nights at Freddy’s are no exception.
The trailer gives us our first glimpses of villains like Freddy Fazbear and Foxy — get used to their faces, because it won’t be long before they’re jumpscaring the living daylights out of us.
Five Nights at Freddy’s hits theaters and Peacock Oct. 27.
