Five Nights at Freddy's (HHN 2025)

Oof, this is a case where I really feel bad for you guys. As a fan of the series, experiencing the opening scene in Orlando's version gave me chills. It was such a cool experience for someone like me, and it's utterly disappointing that Hollywood isn't replicating that scene as it should. I don't care if Freddy is more articulated, if you don't have all three up there...you don't have the scene, you don't have the moment. All you have is the very obvious sign that you don't got the budget, period.

In further budget cuts, it has been reduced to three nights at freddy's lol.

That's a real shame; I was really impressed by the presentation in Orlando. I guess I'll check it out next week and judge for myself.

It's especially funny cuz like, they don't need to be super articulated, theyre functionally chuck e cheese animatronics and those barely move half the time lol.
I'd say it feels like they didn't know what the fans wanted but the rest of the maze seems like it has a lot of intense attention to detail, so it just leaves me scratching my head.

Have to think this is a case of running out of time or major budget crunch, as they literally could have just put static mannequins of the other two up there and it would have worked better than what they have now.

Right? Of all the scenes to skimp on, they did it to the one which most folks are probably wanting to see out of everything. Orlando absolutely understood the assignment for the opening scene.

But here? They bring back houses like Poltergeist pretty much as-is black walls and all to save on budget for an IP like this, and yet they still can't nail the one visual folks want.

 

[DTH]

Yeah I don't care about this franchise at all, but I did want to see that moment in all its glory. Terrible.

 

[Clive]

Should've left their stage spots empty to imply the robots have slipped away already, IMO. The final result looks super weird.

 

[Speed]

Yikes, stick the other 2 from the FNAF experience even if they stand in the back motionless at least

 

[DTH]

Honestly, a video in the queue from the movie or something would've sufficed instead of it being half arsed.

This would’ve been much better. They could even have put like a dust outline of them to show they’ve gone. And then put them in the next boo hole.

I just don’t see a world where this was always the plan.

Spoiler: Per Murdy

Bonnie and Chica are just projections in the showroom scene

I don't know how expensive mannequins would have been, but why not put tables or podiums and only build half of them, have them behind a podium or something, couldn't be weirder than shadows in curtains, or their heads peeking from behind the curtains at least, just the heads.

 

[foodstampsFTW]

This house answers what if A Quiet Place had less energy. Big oof

 

[Lc.]

At least ya'll are pretty "calm" and collectivr about this stuff, can't say the same for this bloke, who has been been a problem in some HHN discord servers, like this is just disrespectful at this point.

 

[Clive]

It's okay to be disappointed and frustrated. I certainly am. You can also disagree with the solution they went with if they simply didn't have the budget to execute all three figures - you know Murdy would've thrown them all up there in a heartbeat if he could've, if not just to avoid this predictable blowback.

Throwing a public tantrum and directly attacking a creative like this is sophomoric, embarrassing, and uncalled for.

 

[Viator]

I'm really hoping they can just remove the curtains come week two.

I've talked with a few people, and the removal of the curtains might actually help out the scene. It'd help add "Oh hey! Where's Chica and Bonnie?" like the games, in a way that I think would be infinitely better than what the hell is the current setup.

 

[Spookies n' Stuff]

Having actually gone now, I will say lone Freddy is still very dissappointing, but I don't think it soured the house for me, and the good news is I don't think itll sour it for most fnaf fans even if it takes the wind out of your sails a bit. It's not really scary at all but it is just so cool to get to walk around these environments and characters, aside from the obvious glaring part, it is very close to Orlandos, and it does honestly feel a lot like an Orlando house as youre walking through it.

Anyway now onto the REAL thing to be mad about, no Golden Freddy? Spraypaint one of those Freds yellow NOW! /j
