Over on the FNAF Reddit page, users weren't shy in expressing their displeasure over the use of red eyes to tell audiences when the animatronics are prowling for people (read: Mike Schmidt) to kill. The eye color change is simply a visual cue to help audiences determine the animatronics are peaceful and when they're not.Įven so, diehard FNAF fans aren't impressed with this little detail. Additionally, it distinguishes the two modes that they have: their daytime, pacifist mode (complete with white eyes) when the eatery is open, and families come to get their fill of pizza and animatronic-based fun, and their night time, set-to-kill mode. Now, there's a clear reason why the animatronics' eyes change color when they're in attack mode. There is, though, one aspect of the teaser – and film by proxy – that fans aren't happy with: the animatronics' red eyes. Many have praised its indie horror aesthetic, the like-for-like looks of the animatronics, and the overall tone and vibe it's giving off. Given its devoted fan following, the Five Nights at Freddy's movie has been warmly received by diehards across the internet. Mike Schmidt looks behind in a concerned way in the Five Nights at Freddy's movie "Here, he discovers its four animatronic mascots – Freddy Fazbear, Bonnie the Bunny, Chica the Chicken, and Foxy the Pirate Fox – move and kill anyone that is still there after midnight."

So, how will the Five Nights at Freddy's movie tackle the franchise's ever-expanding narrative? Well, it goes right back to the source, with Josh Hutcherson ( The Hunger Games) starring as "Mike Schmidt, a troubled security guard, starts a night-time job at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, a once-successful abandoned family entertainment center. The Five Nights at Freddy's franchise now comprises eight mainline games – with an extremely convoluted, interconnected plot that game theorists have spent years trying to work out – as well as four spin-off games, tons of merchandise, an in-universe book series, and an absolute slew of knock-off titles, such as One Night at Flumpty's. The game series became an overnight phenomenon when it originally launched in 2014, and has gone on to be a major influence on the indie horror games genre in the years since.
