The upcoming film Five Nights at Freddy’s, starring Josh Hutcherson and Matthew Lillard, has recently received its rating, and it’s bound to elicit mixed reactions from audiences worldwide. Although the initial trailer promises a disturbing experience for viewers, it is not intended to traumatize children, and there’s a good reason for that.
Fans of the FNAF video games are well aware that these games are typically rated T or 12+. Therefore, it makes sense for the movie adaptation to follow suit. After all, losing potential audience members before tickets even go on sale would be a disservice to the film.
So, what’s the official rating? According to an announcement by Screen-Connections earlier today, Five Nights at Freddy’s has received a PG-13 rating due to “strong violent content, bloody images, and language.” This news has left some fans disappointed.
As mentioned earlier, the PG-13 rating might suggest a “tamer” film than some fans were hoping for, but it shouldn’t come as a surprise. It’s important to remember that a PG-13 rating does not mean the film won’t have an impact. Take, for example, A Quiet Place.
Movies like Drag Me To Hell, Insidious, Split, The Sixth Sense (not violent, but unsettling), Truth or Dare, and even Cloverfield have left a lasting impression on audiences. It is worth noting that Poltergeist has a PG rating despite its infamous clown scene. Just the mere thought of scenes from these films is enough to send shivers down your spine.
While the PG-13 rating may not sit well with some fans, others are already expressing their anticipation for the film. They are excited to see how the movie will deliver gore, terror, and bring the chilling animatronics to life within a few months.
Five Nights at Freddy’s is set to hit theaters on October 27, making it the perfect choice for a spooky season viewing.
