Five Nights at Freddy’s Movie Trailer Reveals Animatronics’ Deadly Intentions
The initial trailer for the Five Nights at Freddy’s movie was impressive, but it lacked the presence of the game franchise’s infamous killer animatronics. However, the latest trailer has addressed this concern by prominently showcasing Foxy, Bonnie, Chica, and Freddy himself. These murderous puppets are seen engaging in their signature activity of taking lives.
You also get a little more plot, which seems to reflect the gameplay. It resets on Josh Hutcherson’s character as the criminally underrated Future Man as he starts a new gig as a night security guard at a family entertainment center. However, Freddy and his gang of animatronic thugs pose a terrifying threat to everyone in the building after dark.
As expected, the animatronics look great and almost match the game’s original aesthetic. This is no surprise since they were designed by Jim Henson’s Creature Shop. However, this is far from a leap from Kermit and Miss Piggy, as the film contains plenty of “strong violent content, gory imagery and language”.
Despite the warning, it’s rated PG-13, so spillage will likely be kept to a minimum. Five Nights at Freddy’s premieres in theaters and on the Peacock streaming service just in time for Halloween on October 27.
