Five Nights at Freddy's (2023)
Don't take it seriously, just enjoy the film
I don't understand why the review score is so low here. As a fan of the games, I really enjoyed this adaptation. Watching this at the cinema I felt so many amazing emotions and genuine fear watching this film and, yes, the acting isn't the best and even a bit too cheesy at times, the story sometimes doesn't make too much sense and it kind of assumes you know a bit of lore and does little to explain the backstory, however it is a really fun film, well worth watching more than once and the music is incredibly spine chilling.
Seeing these video game characters I grew up with portrayed in live action genuinely excited me and the costumes and scene locations look incredible, great job to everyone who worked on the film and hopefully looking forward to a second film some time soon!
Don't Hug Me I'm Scared (2022)
Disappointing compared to the YouTube series
This new chapter of DHMIS wasn't 'terrible' by any means, although I felt like something really was missing. The songs in the original series were so well written and catchy to the point where I was listening to them on Spotify. However, the songs here feel lazy, the lyrics are dull and they are too short.
As well as this, I felt like the series didn't really go anywhere. The topics were fun as usual and there were some funny moments but overall I don't think anything was 'scary' and there was certainly no 'horror' in this show. The YouTube series had the duck get his insides remove as well as the yellow guy almost joining a cult, while this series had them get a job and blow the electricity with he focus of that particular episode being on the duck's shredder... This show also makes too much light of some of the supposedly scary moments such as the yellow guy constantly having 'gashes' or 'cuts' which are inserted into random moments in an attempt to make the humorous moment 'darker'.
The show for me sadly disappoints although maybe the expectations were too high to begin with.
