Great review as always, but one critique is that we actually do know what happened to garret. He was killed by afton. That's it. Like not in a way that tied him to any of the animatronics, but apparently just as a murder in general. We know this because when we see the photo of Vanessa as a kid, she's holding garrets plane, presumably given to her by William as a gift. Then, when he's being attacked by afton, he says that he will kill him like he killed his brother.

He just said it's unrealistic for the character in the movie to behave and dream like that for a decade while still retaining every detail over that whole time period. The script could have been better if they put more thought into the motivations behind the main character instead of relying on a repeated dream sequence.

As you said, the suits could also have personalities that combined with theirs. When I said "believe they can be rescued", I more so meant that they hated hurting people and wanted to be saved from their curse; that they were reaching their hands out as one would if they were trapped under rubble after an earthquake. I also tend to view them as spirits who grew up in animatronic suits rather than being perpetually adolescent. Generally speaking, I've always enjoyed the more tragic implications of the FNAF story more than it's horror and thrills, and even though I haven't seen the movie it seems that Scott and Blumhouse didn't want to go in that direction; probably because it would be depressing.

My biggest wishes for Fnaf would have been if they leaned into more of the slasher elements of the movie. Of the whole movie, we get 2 sequences (both incredibly short) of the animatronics and Afton actually posing a threat. The sequences where they were just messing around with the animatronics felt quite dumb and the dream sequences were useless. I wish Matthew Lillard was given more room to shine. He's a great actor with long and early ties to horror in Scream and Scoobie Doo. After I learned that the Ghostface and Springtrap now share the same actors, it made me want a Scream-like chase sequence near the end where Michael and William actually duke it out, nodding to the Fnaf franchise with plenty of jumpscares, and towards Scream with more than just him wiping the knife, maybe add a couple of classic Stu quotes to bring a bit of comedic relief to the chase sequence
@octodaddy87711 ай бұрын
True, but there's a potential issue with that: The animatronics can't show themselves to be a threat too early otherwise Mike (and any other reasonable person) would quit the job immediately, unlike in the games where the player coming back each night doesn't have to be logically explained. However, I agree that there should have been more sequences with the animatronics being creepy and threatening. I loved the sequence with the vandals. FNAF always thrived more on atmosphere and creepiness than jumpscares (the jumpscares tended to be just a punishment following a tense moment), which I think that sequence demonstrated perfectly. Perhaps they could have extended the last night in the pizzeria to include more hiding from the animatronics and stuff like that. I think there are a lot of scenes that ended up getting cut (I find it hard to believe they didn't even TRY including a Toreador March or Freddy laugh moment) so maybe that has something to do with it.

Makes me wonder if she's gonna become e vanny and take over for afton at the end of trilogy or she is gonna be in coma till 3rd movie and come save the day.

My thoughts exactly. Honestly 99% of my criticisms of the film disappear if Vanessa's character just... wasn't in it. The actress was great, she was cast perfectly - its just that the character genuinely served no purpose but to be a generic female lead who somehow knows all the exposition and does the whole horror trope "You gotta get out of here but I'm not gonna tell you why because spooky!" She didn't singlehandedly wreck the film for me, still enjoyed it, but it would have improved massively without that extra character is all I'm saying.

Why is Vanessa, a character that is in game 8, in the first movie? They portray Mike as a stupid, violent, unhinged loser. They portray Vanessa as a bossy miss-know-it-all (Aka a Mary Sue). She has to show up and explain everything because Mike (and the audience) can't figure anything out for themselves. Only Vanessa is smart...she knows the backstory of the pizzeria and how to control the animatronics. It's very annoying and she should not even be in the first movie as in the actual games she is a very minor character that doesn't come in until way later.

To explain a bit better for the people in this reply section, this lore is completely different than the games. Similar to spider man and there being multiple universes.

She’s an established character in the games and serves an actual purpose in the movie. She’s used to her father’s shit and is basically used to people like Mike but when she meets him and his family she actually wants to help but can’t because her dad will LITERALLY kill her.💀so she drops hints to him.

Regarding the films story and themes, Scott played a major part in the films story development. The books also don’t match the games (exactly), but themes and characters carry over in different ways in this franchise than in most.

Yeah. I wish they catered towards the older FNAF fans who grew up with the games and had just made a gore-fest hard horror movie. Removing the FNAF aspect of the movie, I would classify it as a horror entrance, which is mainly for kids just getting into the horror genre. It was cute, and I think I liked it a bit more than Elvis, but overall I agree with him that it was mid, and agreed with all the things he said were stupid about the movie. Anyway, if I could change one thing about the movie, keeping it PG13, then I'd just take out the dream part of it. Something about seeing the dead kids faces and having them speak casually ruined the mood. That or I'd blur their faces, dehumanizing them in sense and in turn making them moreso connected to their animatic selves, plus it would have been creepy.

I don't think gore is what the movie needed tbh. I think the movie could've easily been scarier even without it, but I don't think they were even trying to be. A lot of that is just the inconsistent tone, I don't mind the fort scene but a scene like that should be in the beginning of the movie when the stakes are low and not when we've already seen them kill people. They never tried to play into the claustrophobia or the setting for the horror. There's a scene where they trash the place and I was thinking to myself ok they're upping the stakes now he has to survive in the pizzeria but there's broken glass everywhere and it's all messed up but he cleans it up immediately and the scene right after completely deescalated any tension they built up to that point.

I don't think the criticism of Mike still being grief stricken was all that fair, he explains in the movie that he also lost his parents because they couldn't get over the grief. He has a difficult time supporting himself and his sister because he basically has no family left except his crazy aunt. I don't think this movie was perfect or anything but for what it was I thought they did a good job. This movie is way more entertaining than most horror movies coming out today, and better written. The set was great, the animatronics were practical, and I honestly thought Josh Hutcherson did a great job, he really sold his character well and his passion made me like Mike a lot more than I think I would have if someone else took the reins. The plot has its issues but I was really drawn in by Mike as a character and I think the movie would've been way better if it focused on him more. The fort scene was stupid and Vanessa made no sense but I don't think these parts of the the movie made it unbearable to watch. I think that the movie would've felt way more solid if it didn't try to pander so much to children, like I was 11 when the first game came out and I never really figured that the robots were really INTELLIGENT y'know, like possessed sure but I figured that they just acted violently because they were in a more base form, like unintelligent robots with unbridled rage or something. These robots though lose all their mystery and intrigue when they build that stupid fort, and after that scene this movie loses all of its steam and just goes down hill. If this movie had more serious moments like more character development for Mike and his sister, and moments that were similar to the games with cryptic storytelling I think it could've been a great movie, but I think my mental rating is like a 65 -70 (I kind of liked it sue me). Should've been rated R but that would never happen.

I stopped playing the games after the 4th one because I was too old for it, and at that point in time the internet decided it was cringe to play the games. When the movie was finally guaranteed to happen and the trailer dropped; I decided to visit my childhood and watch it. I had fun, I've always been a fan of practical effects over digital and the best part was easily the animatronics themselves. And yeah, Springtrap's scene was great; 14 yr old me would never have guessed that I'd ever see the Springlock scene in live action, on the big screen.

I absolutely can say that they were killed because they were wrecking things. Just like in real life with your home when someone walks into your house and start wrecking things you respond immediately which is what happened with the group. However, the security guard was more like an uninvited house guest who won’t leave. You’ll try to get him out non-violently but if he keeps coming back or won’t leave you’ll eventually escalate things.

The lore part - I think that everyone involved with the story production and Scott himself as well agreed that the movies should exist in their own seperate timeline to the games and books so they only keep some of the more major plot points and characters. As far as the protagonist being Mike, I disagree with the notion that he is "just the fnaf 1 security guard" as even in the actual lore it's implied that Mike Schmidt was possibly Michael Afton. In case of the movies though there are clear hints dropped that Mike isn't just a random security guard given a backstory, but he could possibly be a son of Henry Emily as the events that transpire are very similar to the books, which this movie used as inspiration. William kills Henry's child, who by some small hints dropped in the movie could be the puppet, Henry's relationship goes into turmoil, his wife dies (in the movie I guess she leaves) Henry goes insane with grief, creating a sentient doll animatronic who in this case could possibly be Abby as it would explain her seeing the spirits of the children as she herself is a manifestation of remnant and how she was born while supposedly Henry's marriage was falling apart. The only character I would outwardly question would be Vanessa being William's daughter but it could possibly explain events of Help Wanted and SB further down the movie timeline.

As a long time veteran fnaf fan i was HUDGEY disappointed with the movie even if it was supposedly made for fans. For one the movie's pacing is boring and time wasting we spend to much time with mike dealing with his brother's abduction for the first hour to the point where you just dont care, then when he lands a job at the pizzeria he meets with Vanessa who serves no purpose apart from explaining what is going on and what is the premise for the audience, then we see mike having dreams with ghost children again and again eventually saying that if mike wants garret back they will need Abby FOR WHAT REASON i dont know and mike AGREES WITH IT!? initially like thats out of character for someone who loved his sister. Then there is this aunt and lawyer plot to get mike fired by breaking into the pizzeria which doesn't do anything since the burglars are all killed and leads to a predictable jumpscare so nothing come out of that plotline then the animatronics try to stuff abby into a suit but then Mike tases chica and the others meaning he had a taser all this time!? Then after tasing the other animatronics they have a ....... slumber party? I thought this was a horror film but f**k it. Then its revealed at the end that william killed the children which comes out of nowhere and is not fully developed even, and that Vanessa is his child and then she is stabbed (but survives somehow) then the animatroinics encircle William as he gets springlocked the Corny dialogue comes in with "i created you" and "i always come back" as he dies and the end. The plot is a piece of garbage all for fan references and easter eggs which makes sense since this was made for the fans but i feel like this is a poor decision because its labelled as a horror film meaning that many horror fans and the general audiences are going to expect a horror experience only to find more of a horror film made for kids and fans than a actual horror film. And that will effect the sequel since critics and other people will be less likely to see it after the first film which could've been avoided if they had tried to appeal to a much wider audience. And that fact people defend this film saying "its for the fans" is a bullshit one because its a excuse for the poor writing since they know fans will defend it as long that there is fan references or that they are die-hard fans and will defend it regardless cause the franchise has a HUDGE fanbase and that its not fair for newcomers or people outside the fandom, are they not allowed to watch or get a experience out of the movie? And financially its a poor decision like why only appeal to a small demographic of fans when there is a whole other demographics like horror fans, movie people, newcomers and the general audience and earn more at the box office because since people outside the fandom are likely to not go and pay to see the sequel along with the poor reception from critics the small demographic of fans might not work out in the long run. The RATING- there is very little gore and tension in the movie, while the games are pg-13 with implied horror the lore is not and that could've been utilised to build up the tension and horror that would made the audience care about these characters but instead it goes for a campy, thriller comedy appealing to children than adults and making the actual horror not there, this had potential if it was Rated R and that would've given the team more creative freedom but even then if it is PG-13 instead of trying to work around that rating and getting away with gore and other crazy scenes they use it as a crutch not a work-around The characters are underdeveloped and overplayed, Matthew Lillard was perfect as william afton but he doesnt appear for about 80% of the movie and we dont get a reason why he does the things he does or why he has a daughter or why he abducted mike's brother specifically, Vanessa gets barely anything at all apart at the end when she is williams father which comes out of nowhere and only used to explain whats going on and Mike conflict of his brother and his dreams are ok at first but get boring as its the same sequence over and over as he so called 'character arc' is him sleeping throughout most of the runtime . I know it appears like i hate the movie but what i will say is that the sets and animatronics look amazing, it really does capture the feeling of FNAF 1 even if the writing was awful, the acting was pretty solid especially from Josh And Mathew and the references and KZbinr cameos are of course good. but overall i feel immensely disappointed because this had potential to be great but instead we got this (still gonna watch the sequel) 4.5/10 Edit: i have only watched the movie once yesterday so my recollection of the plot might not be 100% accurate but i stand by what i said but its just my opinion and the events in my plot summary are out of order and its all over the place but i say its 95% accurate still but out of order

4:27 Remember, the entirety of the script for this movie was either created or signed off on by Scott. Since you didn't play any games past 4 or read any of the books/novels, you might not know it, but Scott has created alternate timelines and continuities for pretty much every new medium. The 3D games (help wanted through ruin)? Different continuity (at least slightly). The novels? Completely different timeline. The goosebumps-style books? Almost all of the short stories are not directly canon, set in a world where names/events are different, but still related to the original story. So the movie having a different story from the games is par for the course for Scott.

If you're looking for an actual horror fnaf experience, check out the fnaf vhs videos, they're terrifying. So something of note, Mike Schmitt in the games is actually Mike going back to the pizzerias in an attempt to free his brother's spirit (his intentions is still highly debated). Another thing, the families are inversed. So in the games and books The Afton family has three kids and the Emilys (Afton's business' partner) have one. In the movie Afton has 1 child and the Emilys have three. That's why Mike isn't exactly the same Mike from the games. It wasn't Freddy took Abby to the restaurant, it was Golden Freddy who can teleport for...reasons. The reason Garret isn't in the movie is because he'll most likely be in the next movie. The only dead child associated with a car is the puppet, who also was revealed in the second game. IMO Vanessa and the child custody stuff was lame or just badly handled, but the movie was fun.

as a fan i found the film kind of disappointing its mainly because of the source material changes, we don't get to see mike in the office trying to defend himself from the animatronics and the office itself doesn't even resemble the one from the game. also while not outright comfirmed, its heavily implied in the games that mike and michael are the same person and it really makes me wonder why the movie didn't went with that, it would have given mike a bigger connection to both freddy's and the antagonist. the animatronics lack the threatening and creepy presence they have in the games and before anyone uses the "there possessed by kids excuse" in case you forgotten there possessed by kids in the games too but that didn't stop them from being scary, i didn't really like that they become so friendly early on it really took away the suspense, that fort building scene felt like an unintentional middle finger to anyone who was hoping this was gonna be a genuine horror film. and vanessa is afton's daughter? yeah okay i guess were just gonna ignore his 3 actual children from the games. some might think this is nitpicking but this is just how i feel if you like it that perfectly fine but personally this isn't what i wanted from a fnaf film, it lacks the scary tone of the games and feels more like a horror comedy, though i guess that should have been expected since after 4th game the franchises started to tone tone down the creepiness most likely out of fear of scaring away the younger fans i honestly prefer some of the fanmade fnaf films over this cause while not perfect i feel like they did a better job capturing the tone of the games.

I agree with you. Let me give you an analogy...if you look at Star Wars...they gave us 2 whole movies just telling Anakin's story...so by the time he is locked into the Darth Vader suit it's really emotional because we knew who Anakin was...and now we see him become the villain Darth Vader... it's actually the most intense scene in Star Wars. In the FNAF movie we meet a career counselor and then they spend the rest of the movie on other things and people...then career counselor gets locked in the suit. The majority of the first movie should have told Afton's story and laid out the basics of him, Henry, their families and the death of kids in the pizza place. For those who are not FNAF fans...they know nothing of Afton by the time he is locked into the suit. Terrible story telling when you compare it to the brilliance of George Lucas. And Afton is their villain...they decided to just skip over his story for characters we don't care about...Vanessa, the aunt for example. That's very frustrating that they didn't want to spend any time on their most important character.

So one thing about the movie I think you glossed over is the part about how Mike has the same dream every night and you claimed that it isn't realistic because nobody has the same dream every night. But in the beginning it shows him reading a book about the practice of dreamscaping and shows him listening to forest sounds. He talks to the cop lady about how he uses "familiar sounds" and sleeping pills to help him get to the same dream every night. Those are called dream anchors and also some people use totems. Familiar items and sounds to make the brain more aware and have more control of the dream and it has very real science behind it. As someone who used to practice lucid dreaming I could have any dream I wanted any night I wanted as I was in full control. I did it for years. Your critiques of the mocie are mostly valid, ive never played FNAF and thought the movie was pretty average. It was decent, worth a watch.. but I just wanted to point out that the one particular critique you had about the dream sequences was inaccurate.

Mike would have called and left an angry voicemail since she wouldn't pick up, kind of like how he called the babysitter multiple times not knowing she was dead, then gone on with their lives thinking she maybe gave up trying to get abby. A missing persons report wouldn't happen for a bit since it was telegraphed that she likely lives alone and has only been seen with people she pays to have around her, so there's no one to immediately call out her disappearance.

Honestly that was my favourite part of fnaf's story. The son that may have caused his father to become a monster, trying to atone for them both. Both walking corpses (you could easily leave out the scooping though), he wants to find him and end all they've caused. Not to mention the Henry speech. But when the first movie is just "Ghost children can't remember own murder for some reason and a random drawing on a wall dictates ther complete obedience", it leaves some red flags for the story as a whole.

Fun fact: The FNAF movie supposedly was made to be *Rated R* and the original script for the movie did actually contain some gore scenes one of which is "1st nightguard's face ripped open by an unseen animatronic, then he were lures onto the _torture suits_ + flesh and blood spew out as spinning blades grinds the night guard's face" (intro) So, they're rethinking their decision of the initially _Rated R_ FNAF movie and make it rated Pg 13 to make it more accessible to everyone In the end, they had to retake some of the scenes in order to keep it under Pg 13 guidelines

Great video as always! I didn't agree with you on everything, but you were very fair, and I can't complain about that. I do have one small thing I wanna say, which is that when "Freddy" shows up to get Abby from the house, that's actually Golden Freddy, who is, as usual, a quantum being, for whatever reason. A lot of people seemed to miss that, even fans like a few of my friends, so I do think that they should've made him a little more yellow, just so we understood. Upon watching the end of the video, I also want to say that I think the movie would have been better if the kids changed Mike's dreams to be in the pizzeria, leading him to be confused and angry at them like he was, and we got to see a bit more of the history of the pizzeria through these dreams, with the last one taking place back in the field, where they offer Mike the deal again.

To be fair, the idea of Mike Schmidt and Michael Afton being the same person has basis. In I believe Pizzareia Simulator, it's more or less stated he was the one around for FNAF 1 and he assumed an alias for some reason. Weird thing to adapt here though. Also, was weird to realise William Afton is played by both Shaggy and Stu Macher.

I have a pair of 45 year old twins, a brother who's 33 and a little brother who just turned 20. My brothers look like they could be his father and our dad looks like he could be his grandfather. In fact, him and my mom were both called grandparents even when they were out alone with him, without the rest of us. My little brother was an accident. He was a long lasting Disneyland souvenir! I even remember when we were told that our mom was pregnant! He even has a niece older than him and a nephew 5 years younger than him.

It was really touching for me personally, the whole journey movie included meant a lot to me, but I can admit that it’s not the greatest thing ever. But it’s a love letter to this whole insane journey and that’s beautiful. I’m glad it’s encouraging people to check out the games. I liked the dream stuff too it felt appropriate as Scott had dreams about the first game while making it. Although I do think Grant should’ve been one of the possessing kids.

Pretty much the only criticism of yours that I 100% agree with and yelled "THANK YOU!" at my screen over was "Vanessa sucks but the film wants us to think she's a morally good person for some reason." Vanessa genuinely didn't even need to be in the film. As a character she just doesn't quite fit, and the majority of annoying chatacter tropes (character who knows all the lore about the monster for no reason, character who wont tell you why the heck its dangerous but instead insists on being vague and spooky instead of actually helpful, etc) were used on her. She's a weird hybrid of "exposition giver" and "idk we need a female lead" and just ends up feeling out of place and bringing the flow of the story to a grind. Even presenting her as more morally grey like her actual game counterpart would have justified her character a little more (sequel stuff, maybe) but as she is right now, I just can't stand the "I am 100% capable of helping but I just don't because something something daddy issues." No shade to the actress though, she did a great job and was perfectly cast to mimic the in game Vanessa. Just think the character was utilized poorly

Every actor in the movie did a great job...the movie has no bad acting in it. They did their jobs. The problem is in the writing of the story and editing if they removed stuff fans would have loved to give us the boring stuff and building the fort which was just dumb. Vanessa first appears in Security Breach which I believe is game 8. She doesn't belong in the first movie and maybe could have shown up in the third movie. Definitely put in there to be the bossy "Mary Sue"...

I am not a huge fan, I took my friend to the cinema to watch it together and we pleasantly enjoyed it, my only complaint was that it felt like they played it a bit too safe on the gore and the scares, like holy shit did they hold back on everything which could have worked in this films favor. All in all, I'm just glad that it didn't become a trainwreck.

Here r my ideas to improve the movie & "review" of it: After first dream, Mike wakes up in the first night to see Bonnie gone, later Chica disappears too (He'd wake up in 2 or 3 A.M.) After one of dream things, u could see eyes of spirits turn black & black tears (Like in minigames & that bad movie jumpscare) for a short moment before Mike wakes up confused Well, combining night 3 & 4 would feel too rushed, imagine truly seeing these robots up close only to see them building forts later Also during night 4, Mike could tell Vanessa that animatronics smell bad, it's called - FORESHADOWING (for Night 5 plot twist) It'd be cool if in night 2 of fnaf movie, it'd be simular to classic fnaf 1 stuff, but all 4 animatronics would try to hunt down Mike, it'd be like in Onaf - Each hour is harder than it's previous one It'd make sense for it not to happen in night 5, as the animatronics knew what to expect & while Mike's sleeping, Foxy came from left & put him in that torture mechanism & Mike would need to get out It'd show animatronics as smart, like they don't fall for the same stuff & do things differently or smth Scratch that! Freddy is fast & has no hook as one hand, so he should be the one to make Mike to torture device in night 5 Funny, isn't it? All Freddy related bots are the ones which lead to death of 2 people Abby knew & almost killed her brother I wish fnaf movie was actually scary, i don't really understand how William uses drawings to control. That custody sub plot also ended kinda badly. Nobody acknowledges death of Aunt Jane, Mike doesn't even know that he was betrayed by her Now here's not actual review: I found "It's me" refference when during one scene in office where everything was glitching I don't mind William having little screentime. He's supposed to be mysterious villain anyway. Tbh blood not leaking from Spring bonnie suit is kinda realistic. I like how at the end, Matthew made him sound intentionally worse cuz of the pain William endures. His final speech was cheesy but i liked it. I feel like it'd be better if animatronics shoved Spring Bonnie mask on his face, instead of him doing so. But maybe it's connected to William sort of narcissism. William took his pain like a champ & didn't gave pleasure to his previous victims as seeing him suffer. Ngl, William had some sort of charm in this movie I like how animatronics dragged him. It looked cool He also mentioned some owner, which means that Henry might appear in sequel My take is a hot one: I hate game fnaf lore, Henry was introduced too late in the story & i prefer One Night at Flumpty's trilogy anyway (Flumpty is my fav fnaf related character) I hope in sequel we get the reason to why PG killed those kids, like it'd be explained by Henry, no worries, i don't want Henry to just be exposition dump. Ngl, i like pure evil villains In Puss in Boots 2, i prefer Jack Horner over Death I just think that killing kids is a huge deal & we should know why he did that. Also Vanessa being William's daughter makes me interested in their background Ok, William aside I dunno, it's weird to me that whe these filler villains entered pizzeria after Mike left, and it happend after 6 A.M. but Animatronics were still like hostile. But i guess it was some sort of change too. Which makes things even more dangerous (Or was that a thing that William made them do) Overall, i hate all fnaf games aside from 4, HW, SB DLC was mid & i dunno how to feel abt fnaf 1, i had good mood & expectations before watching it & everything was even better than i expected, refferences were great but the actual reasons why i like this movie were characters, how Mike's plot was connected to main story, i like how everything was answered, this movie made me smile a lot while i was watching (I rarely smile) so i hope i wasn't looking weird near some small girl who was sitting near me & saying some lore related stuff to her parents Wen i heard living tombstone song, i started to quietly sing it to myself Overall this movie was like 7/10 I like how devious Spring Bonnie looked with eyebrows in movie intro Major flaw of this movie that it isn't scary. My fav charactet is either Mike or William Tbh i like these presense William had by adding drawings of yellow rabbit. Imagine being a regular guy, seeing these drawings as smth adorable, like his smile looked weird but kids do mistakes while drawing right? But once u find out the twist, u see this sadistic monster, pure evil, sh1thead with his grin. Ngl, William kinda appears randomly, but i liked it... it was unexpected. I liked how his first action trying to mentally f2ck up Mike & just kill him there This movie made me feel tense for character, i felt worried for Abby cuz i thought that Chica would kill her (That suit in which Chica wanted to put her in was some sort of refference abt fnaf book character i never heard of) I felt tense of guy whom was killed by Bonnie, i just imagined how fcked he basically was... i was too when i played fnaf 1 many times as a kid (Couldn't pass night 2 cuz of rabbit) Didn't recognise Mat till i saw comments on internet. This movie had more villains then i expected (Minor villain, now i remember the word) & i don't mind red eyes I don't understand how William was controlling animatronics too. At least Mike was given reason to not quit his job after night 3 I like Cory's cameos Also i like how William's eyes looked before he put on mask for the final time Tbh i like the sounds William was making during springlock scene, like he was hiding his pain from victims cuz of his pride, he looked like he was abt to cry out of pain, but he put himself back together, said the speech & accepted death like a champ Which is one of the reasons why i like his speech I found these comments on internet which i agree with: "I love how he didn't scream or even panic. He knew that would only make the spring locks activate more, so he kinda just accepted his fate instead of screaming and shouting. I think that's one of my favourite details. Also Matthew lillard absolutely slaughtered this role" (I'm not sure if i agree with the last sentence, Matthew was good but not that good. Maybe i should check more scenes of William in movie. I guess that he works. Overall i like the Movie William) "If you think about it, the fact that it's bloodless is a bit more realistic. If you're stabbed, blood doesent pour out of you unless the thing that stabbed you is removed. While there will be some bleeding (as we saw) it'll be a lot less worse than we saw in the minigame. Also, the suit seems to be going one at a time with the springlocks, which is more horrifying that most off them all at once." I might feel like William is my fav character in movie Ngl, "I always come back" seemed kinda forced. But i like the way William said it & he basically wanted to always HAUNT his victims in any way possible Not sure if i said it or not, but i was shocked wen Springlock scene happend Tbh i was a happy person when i walked out of my movie theature Tbh fnaf movie has main flaws: It's hard to understand if u r not a fnaf fan It's not scary And there was no real explaination to how William controlled animatronics & changed their memories That really isn't major issue for me, but i wish there were more scenes where Mike was all alone with animatronics, that was another creep factor of fnaf 1. Like, Vanessa doesn't seem that busy as a cop Edit: here's a smart thing user flarestriker6870 wrote when he saw my ideas "Like that idea where the animatronics are shown as smart and not fall for the same things again. Also noticed that when Bonnie and Chica were blocking the vent to place The Cupcake in the vent while the thieves were inside the pizzeria, I'm guessing they learned that the Previous Nightguard tried to escape using the vent one time(Foxy still caught him though) and wanted to prevent it from happening again." Main & credits themes of movie are bangers
