Video game movies? Yeah, they’re quickly becoming the new video game movies, and there are more of them than ever. Universal and Blumhouse hope to land the next hit by veering into horror with Five Nights at Freddy’s, which finds Josh Hutcherson battling a bunch of murderous animatronics.
Long in the works, Five Nights at Freddy’s is finally happening with Emma Tammi behind the camera. Tammi is known for her breakout horror, The Wind. Joining Hutcherson in the cast is Elizabeth Lail, Piper Rubio, Kat Conner Sterling, Mary Stuart Masterson, and Matthew Lillard.
Here’s the synopsis: The film follows a troubled security guard as he begins working at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza. While spending his first night on the job, he realizes the night shift at Freddy’s won’t be so easy to make it through.
Five Nights at Freddy’s hits theaters and streams on Peacock on October 27th.
