Five Nights at Freddy’s
Security guard Mike Schmidt (Josh Hutcherson) loses his job after an incident where he was overzealous. It seems that Mike is haunted by his childhood memories of his younger brother’s abduction on his watch. Mike is also delinquent on his rent, facing eviction, & in danger of losing custody of his 10-year-old sister, Abby, so he takes a new job as night watchman at an abandoned family entertainment center, Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzia (think Chuck E Cheese). However, it seems that the animatronic mascots somehow come to life & will kill you. See if you can figure out what’s behind these creepy actions. Is it someone or someones? Is it supernatural? Who will die & who will survive these scary nights? This horror thriller is based on a video game made popular by YouTube postings. If fact, YouTuber CoryxKenshin has a bit part as a taxi cab driver. Look for a mid credit of one more cab fare ride.
