"Josh Hutcherson Battles Lifeless Puppets in Lackluster 'Five Nights at Freddy's' Review"

"Five Nights at Freddy's," the latest horror film from Blumhouse, fails to deliver genuine scares and falls short of its potential. Based on the popular video game franchise, the movie aims for cult status but lacks the transgressive elements needed to achieve it. It promises a gore fest but keeps the violence sanitized for a PG-13 rating. The film's attempt to provide emotional depth with a tragic backstory only slows down the plot. Overall, "Five Nights at Freddy's" is a bore fest that fails to live up to its potential.
