Get ready to deal with things that go clank in the night on the big screen. A Five Nights at Freddy’s movie is on the way later this year, and Universal Pictures has revealed the first teaser for the long-gestating adaptation. The clip doesn’t seem to hold too many surprises for those who are familiar with the jump scare-laden FNaF games, but it captures the aesthetic well enough.
It focuses on a character played by Josh Hutcherson as he starts a new gig as a night-time security guard at a family entertainment center. However, the animatronics at Freddy Fazbear’s pose a terrifying threat to anyone still in the building after the doors close. The animatronics look spot on, which isn’t exactly a shock given that Jim Henson’s Creature Shop brought them to life.
Five Nights at Freddy’s will arrive in theaters and on Peacock on October 27th. If you can’t wait that long and simply need to watch a movie in which possessed animatronics go on a killing spree, check out Willy’s Wonderland. It has both a similar concept and Nicolas Cage, and it’s enjoyable enough.
