Five Nights at Freddy's
About
A recently fired security guard takes a night shift at an abandoned pizzeria, only to uncover unsettling truths about its animatronic residents.
Five Nights at Freddy's follows Mike Schmidt, a struggling young man who, after losing his job, accepts a night‑guard position at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, a shuttered pizzeria rumored to be haunted. Over five nights, Mike navigates a maze of flickering lights and eerie sounds as the restaurant’s animatronics begin to behave strangely. With the help of a local police officer, he uncovers that the animatronics are haunted by the spirits of children who vanished decades ago. The film blends psychological tension with supernatural horror, exploring themes of corporate negligence, family pressure, and the lingering trauma of unsolved crimes, all while keeping viewers on edge without revealing the full backstory upfront.
