it's currently at 30 on Metacritic, but tbf, only a few reviews are out.

I doubt many will end up praising it, though.

"movie critics" have to be the most pompous gits out there. boomers at "The Irish Times" or "The Telegraph" probably don't even know what FNAF is. just let the kids have their fun.

Regardless of how good it actually is, this was not the kind of movie that movie critics would rate highly.

I'm not shocked... I figured this would be a movie the fans of the franchise would enjoy mostly... Which is why I think I'll enjoy it...

I generally take reviews into consideration, but usually not when it's a horror film. It has to be extremely low (<20) to consider not watching one.

I dont know anything about this series but this looked like a fun intro horror movie for my daughter. Shes really starting to get into the genre

I think its streaming on Peacock? Might be worth a months subscription to check it out

I don't care at all what movie critics have to say. Movie critics and audience opinions lining up feels like it's a crap shoot at best.

I didn't even realize it was coming out this week until I saw an ad yesterday. That isn't a good sign because you would think they would market a film with a huge fan base like FNaF like crazy. Even if the film was bad.

Eh. It's not really needed because the massive fanbase seems to be really tuned in to the internet and content creators. So I'm sure the message gets out to them specifically. It's the people who no nothing about the franchise that will probably struggle to hear about it.

I guess maybe it doesn't have a lot of scares for being a horror movie? Because otherwise yeah that is a stupid complaint.

Everyone complains about reviewers until they find one who fully agrees with them.

They tend to not be good.

Only recently have audiences even liked some.

Also, Stranger Things is horror aimed for preteens, and is one of the biggest TV shows in the world.

Stranger things is made for people who were pre-teens in the 1980s.

It's a videogame movie, usually they're either decent or a confusing pile of garbage. Occasionally they are great. I think Pokemon is the only one that has the most consistently good films, with MK's animated films closing the gap. I'll judge for myself tomorrow.

I thought they did a very good job with scary stories to tell in the dark. I was pleasantly surprised. Especially since the only thing scary about the books were the drawings. They really brought them to life.

I'm gonna be honest here: Critics are bad at judging horror, with few exceptions. That's not a new phenomenon. Doesn't mean this movie is good or that a lot of terrible horror films they've knocked aren't bad, but I do trust them essentially the least of any genre when it comes to accurately assessing a horror film lol
