I actually do believe William recognized Mike when he met him in the office. You can tell because he pauses as he reads his last name, and then leans forward to get a closer look at him. As if trying to see the resemblance to Garrett.

It’s genuinely refreshing to see practical effects being used in a newly released movie. The Jim Henson company absolutely nailed the designs of the animatronics. The 2nd FNAF movie is gonna be one hell of a challenge production wise considering that there’s over 15 animatronics in the game.😂

Never thought I’d actually want more jump scares from a movie

I think the “C O M E F I N D M E” message is definitely Garret as the Puppet. His kidnapping resembles Charlie’s death in the main series in a lot of ways. First, it was most likely Afton’s first kill, as evidenced by Vanessa having Garret’s toy plane in a photo taken at Freddy’s while it was still open, ergo before the missing children’s incident, and is the only crime of William’s we know to have taken place outside of a Fazbear Entertainment building. How the Puppet animatronic would be involved with Garret is unclear, but everything else seems to match perfectly. (Actually, in the actual event of Garret being taken, the pre possession Puppet actually mirrors Mike- being designated to protect the victim and failing to do so.)

I absolutelly LOVED how MatPat got a cameo in the movie, being one of the most prominent voices of the FNAF fandom online, the other being Markiplier who was asked to appear in the movie as the security guard that preceded Mike before being murdered, but he turned it down due to a scheduling conflict with his own movie Iron Lung It kinda feels like a reward for all the effort 😂

Coming from a non-FNAF fan and big horror geek, this was so enjoyable to watch. I can't even explain why.

I loved how wholesome they revealed Freddie & Gang to be, reminding us that these aren’t just simple minded robots, they contain the souls of traumatized children. Like how they relied on pictures to understand what happened to them. 🥺😭 it really made me feel for them and the horrible injustice they were dealt.

So refreshing to see someone who didn’t know much/anything about the games do some well rounded research when reviewing this movie! Have seen so many reviewers caught up on the silly premise that they forget that it’s why the games were so popular and that it’s what audiences wanted that they missed the fun and I love you got into the theorising spirit!

I think the FNAF community is in agreement that the “Come find me” message is from Garrett from what I’ve seen. Seeing that his spirit isn’t with the other five and his fate is left in the dark. Though which animatronic he’s controlling is up for debate some speculate that he is the puppet, others believe that he is going to be something else.

He definitely recognized Mike. He was disrespectful and snarky to him up until he read his name then completely changed his tone. He knew Mike and who he was. as for Garrett, it's likely he's the puppet. The "It's Me" was always therorized to be the crying child trying to get the attention of the security guard who was his older brother Mike. And Garrett seems to be the Puppet which has been hinted out throughout the movie. Puppet was on the blackboard and Come Find me is similar to the Save them in the games. And it is the year 2000 (security camera had the date). Early enough where some poeple have cells but early enough that it wouldn't be strange to not have.

Never thought I’d see the day Foundflix covers FNAF

I’ve gotta give props to the Jim Henson Company and Matthew Lillard. The practical effects for the animatronics are great, and Lillard is scarily good as Afton, which is really freaky considering he’s also the voice of Shaggy.

Also I don't think getting hurt in the dream world, is what hurt him. Pretty sure the boys ghost used the foxy robot to cut him then it took off

They teased the puppet in a couple scenes. "Blink and you'll miss it" kind of thing. Its hiding in the shadows behind the stage at one point, and in another spot you can see it peering from the kitchen.

William Afton had a motive for kidnapping Garrett across state lines, it was personal. Mike's mother is Mrs Afton who left William when she was preggo with Mike. They ended up with Henry Schmitt who was William's coworker. The only hint we have of this is the Schmitt family photo where Henry is using rabbit ears on Mike. In the novels it is mentioned that William is insanely jealous of Henry. The enraged William found out the Schmitt's location and traveled to Nebraska to abduct Garrett. 'You took my son so I'm taking yours'. Of course this makes Mike and Vanessa siblings. When Mike asks Vanessa, "Who the hell are you?" she replies, "Just someone who wants to help." This theory would explain a lot.

The place crumbles because the fifth kid, the blonde one, is like a poltergeist. He’s the one randomly opening and locking doors, for example.

FoundFlix: **explains FNAF lore** MatPat: Finally! A worthy opponent, our battle will be legendary!

The bit where vanessa gives mike the tazers was interesting. She outright said that afton controls the animatronics when hes there and then later said she wouldn't be of any help if her father was there. Its heavily implying she too is a robot, probably closer to book Elizabeth than game Elizabeth where she is able to take on an extremely realistic human form. I dont know if its just a happy coincidence or they intentionally tried to find someone named Elizabeth to play Vanessa but the pieces are all there

as a long fan of you and a longer fan of fnaf, this is really nice to see. not only did you do great research but you did a way better job on actually getting the facts right. if it weren't for you saying you weren't that into the lore i would've thought you atleast dabled in it a bit. so great job and this was really nice to see coming from you especially

You ask me, William Afton's probably just as if not more evil than Freddy Krueger, considering he's also a serial killer child murder. But with Freddy, after he's killed someone, their just dead. Afton, though, not only killed children but basically enslaves their ghosts through Freddy & the other amatronics. It is utterly terrifying if you think about it.

Holy cow!! This movie was so good! It's like M3GAN, Black Phone, and Willy's Wonderland all beautifully mixed together. I would ABSOLUTELY LOVE a sequel! New elements and all, they did a terrific job adapting the story and the games! Thank you so much for covering the film🙏

I never actually played any of the games, I just got interested in the lore months ago and watched a lot of content about the story, yet I was SO hyped throughout the entire movie. Caught quite a few references, didn’t catch some of them, and I had a TON of fun. The fan service was done masterfully. I can only imagine how excited long-time fans must’ve felt, especially if they’ve loved the series ever since the first game. Blumhouse and Scott Cawthon did a fantastic job

When they started showing how wholesome the robots were I was mad but then after a bit I realize softened to it. As a kid I was traumatized. I liked other kids and only certain adults. I forgot (and still forget) parts of my past and my trauma. Those were just kids. I like that they made them as kids.

I took my twin 10yr olds to see this long sob, thought no way they can sit through this....they last about 15 mins on any movie. They were absolutely glued to the screen every second, and I without knowledge of fnaf because I'm old, didnt think this movie was bad at all....for kids mostly, but lots better than i thought would be. Matthew Lillard did a great job 👍🏻 I would like to see a part 2 fr!!

When the kids attacked in the dreams only for it to become real I was like "Did these kids take a lesson or two from Kruger or something?"

There's a gap between a game built completely on jump scares and the lore where the things trying to kill you are, as scott put it, 'still just children who have forgotten what love is.' I'm excited to see the next one, the puppet is my favorite character and probably Mike's brother given the original lore's timeline. I finally got to see these dead kids be happy and play for a few minutes and then watch their murderer suffer which was neat.

Obviously growing up with fnaf from a young age by staying entwined with youtubers since I was like five and hearing about this movie when I was 6 a lot of expectations and doubts grew over the years. Now whether im a real fan or not since I havent touched any of the games, I say thqt the movie is what 6 year old me prolly expected. Not that im saying the movie was tailored to specifically children, but that the fnaf franchise and fandom at that time would have loved the fnaf movie we got. So it was nice to see that deep down the fandom hasnt shifted, but grown because of the overwhelming praise for the movie makes me very happy.

This movie is just tops. I sincerely hope they make a sequel

This movie gave Saw, A Nightmare on Elm Street, The Black Phone and Scream vibes all in one!

You're very talented and cant get enough of your channel.

I still can't believe this happened,10 years in the making,this movie did not disappoint,that's for sure,as a Fnaf fan myself,this movie is 8/10

"Of course, it's ghost children in the suits. How else could they move the robots?" as if it's the most logical thing in the world. 😂

Golden Freddy is probably Garrett since he knew the aunt’s name!

The building was built near my home town in chalmete Louisiana! I seen it almost a full year before the movie dropped.

The "Come find me" is in the same style as during the mini games in the FNAF 2 games (especially during the ones that feature "The Puppet"). Many FNAF YT'er speculate that it means that in the next movie we shall explore The Puppet and her origins, or will at the very least feature The Puppet.

Would LOVE!!! A deeper dive into the Easter Eggs in the movie and if they end up changing your idea of where the series goes!

I wonder if the tiny balloon boy is a new take on the Fredbear camera from the 4th and 5th game, like maybe that little guy is a camera so William can watch him, and would explain how he moves around

The Balloon Boy is tiny as a reference to one of the Fazbear Frights stories called "Lucky Boy." In case you are unaware, the Fazbear Frights books are a series of 12 books each containing 3 Goosebumps-esk stories. But they can be pretty gory, so I advise caution. In "Lucky Boy," Balloon Boy is a tiny figurine holding a sign that says "I'm a lucky boy!" Throughout the story, a man listens to it for advice, telling him to buy a winning lottery ticket that ends up being a winner, leave his hopeless job, leave his girlfriend that he hates, and invest in starting his own business. However, at the end, Lucky Boy encourages him to essentially mutilate himself to make himself "look better" for his high school reunion.

The movie felt truly made with love, not another soulless cash grab by executives.

I was waiting for you to make a video on this movie. It's very interesting to hear what this movie sounds like from an outside perspective.

For reference, the movie takes place in the year 2000. It's confirmed in the security camera watching Mike when he's waiting to meet his career counselor.

"I don't know, he looks familiar... Some guy that makes a weird comment about something just being a theory, I don't know." Haha made me chuckle, go MatPat! And go FoundFlix!

I have not seen your channel in a while. It's good to see you're still the same. I will be caching up on your videos

Even though max was working with mike's auntie behind his back, i kinda feel bad for her that she got the bit of 87 or 23 treatment

The puppet is referenced more in the movie. When mike first looks at the animatronics two glowing eyes can be seen behind chica while some static plays. Later on during the credits you can hear the puppets music box from fnaf 2.

Here it is, the video I’ve been expecting since the 27th of October. I may or may not have light heartedly teased you about making this to my friends while waiting. Lol Edit: If anyone is wondering, I was teasing Foundflix about how confusing, doing research about FnaF(specifically lore) must have been. Lol

Wait, i dont follow that plan. They want to get Mike fired by trashing the place...so they do it during the day? When he isnt on shift and thus, not in any way at fault? How would that get hom fired?

These movie recaps are great so I can feel like I've watched something without wasting a lot of time

Your hair is looking great my dude! Back to the long hair days from when I first started watching foundflix

Great video, as always you are very entertaining. I wanted to ask if you could make a video about "Temple" 2017. i recently watched it and honestly did not understand anything toeards the ending, and there are no videos about it on KZfaq.

I deeply loved this movie, and so did my friends who were not super into the lore as I was. I really loved that it wasn't jumpsacre filled as to me it forced them to focus more on the story and implications of the crimes to push the fear. Also I still am not sure if it was intentional, but I noticed in many of the places where lore was changed that it ended up pulling from old fan theories for the games themselves, which I thought was a very clever touch if on purpose. Lillard fucking killed it. He was perfect casting.

It's a movie made for the fans of the games. Also, I feel like the biggest plot hole is the fact that the police did the search for the missing kids but didn't check the insides of the animatronics. I feel like that's one of the first places the police would check if this was in the real world.

I'm convinced that Officer Vanessa is a reference to Vanessa from Security Breach Blonde woman named Vanessa in a position of authority(cop/security guard) with seemingly ulterior motives but is ultimately innocent in everything

If you go in expecting a horror movie, you will be disappointed... But if you are expecting a FNAF movie you'll probably like it!

"We don't even know what 'present day' is." The movie takes place in the year 2000. It was shown on the security camera after Mike's incident at the mall.

loved josh hutcherson in this!almost forgot how great of an actor he is

Garret is Golden Freddy imo. There was even the classic "It's me" message on the mirror in the movie. You even see the golden Freddy suit where all the dead people got deposited.

I loved this movie so much but I laughed so hard during the scene where Abby introduces the animatronics to Mike due to them giving him the stink eye

Hooray for long videos!! More in depth video pls!

Wasn't Nicholas Cage trapped with some animatronic robots in a similar place? Too soon.

So as a fan of FNAF I can semi explain the come find me, that is specifically from FNAF2 with a character called the puppet, one of the most powerful fnaf characters out there for SAVE THEM, there were hints that Garett is the puppet so yes it’s Garett reaching out to find him, which is a reference also to fnaf one with a message it’s me in that game as well

I can tell you did a great job researching

Love that you covered this, would you consider covering the new hell house released on shudder? ( Hell house LLC origins: The Carmichael manor) ❤😊

It’s been 10 years (it feels like) since your last upload.

Look forward to your videos as I ❤ your speaking voice 👍🙏

I enjoyed it. You actually cared about the security guard and his little sister.

When Evil Lurks is the best horror of the year.

Is your shirt a film can with blood coming out of it? I don’t know what it’s for but I love it!

15:38 Bacon bait traps are the worst... Also love the delivery on this haha

Good job again as always. When I first heard the title of the game I thought Freddy was Freddy Krueger

KZfaq isn’t pushing your content. I have notifications on and had no idea this video was released

Great video!!

Holy cow, when he said that it had been almost 10 years since the first game came out, that hit me like a truck

11:55 I laughed out loud at this part in the movie 😭 GIRL YOU DO NOT THROW SOMEONES PILLS INTO THE RIVER

Injuries don't come from the dreams, comes from the animatronics fucking with him while he's asleep

Oh, this is so funny. Reminds me of a comment that Matt pat left on a video of somebody playing for naff he’s like don’t do this to yourself. Haven’t gone mad yet.

@3:05 The dream hypnosis thing is a plot Deus ex machina McGuffin from an episode of a very special different strokes where Arnold and his sister were kidnapped

Maybe garret wrote the “it’s me” message on the mirror too

My husband and i have been following the games since they first came out. We had so much fun watching the movie. It wasn't some amazing, cinematic masterpiece, but it was fun, and the references were fun to look for and pick out

We’ve had Horror History and now Ending Explained of FNAF. Now we just need the Dead Meat Kill Count to complete the trifecta. Always love your videos my dude.

So excited to see my favorite movie channel going over my favorite adaptation movie!!

I wonder if they are going to go deep into the lore and the Purple Man and what they take from the newer FNAF games and lore from those.

I’d love to see a more in depth video on the film. Would you consider diving into the games? That would be cool and something I’d like to see.

The dream theory, glowing red eyes, doll animatronic, the ball pit reference, and Springtrap getting dragged away are from the books :)

When they started showing how wholesome the robots were I was mad but then after a bit I realize softened to it. As a kid I was traumatized. I liked other kids and only certain adults. I forgot (and still forget) parts of my past and my trauma. Those were just kids. I like that they made them act like manipulated kids. They were “raised” by a killer and a manipulator but never got to see any outside world. They are like Vanessa (in movie. Not in game).

Between this and M3GAN, Blumhouse is doing pretty well with their gateway horror flicks. More!

Love your videos ❤

My family loved this movie! It was so well done! And I learned an interesting fact about Chica; she had three hands. Two of them were empty, but the third one had Cupcake on it, so whenever they shot a scene with Chica and Cupcake, they would just removed her right hand and pop in the other one.

I took a friend to watch the movie and we loved it we aren't hardcore for fnaf but we know alot of the lore of the series and we overall enjoyed it

Waiting for you to do Saltburn!!!

There were so many things in the movie that retconned the games. Like the realistic state the animatronics should be in (not smelling good), the weird creation of a Vanessa/Elizabeth Afton blend, and the habits of the animatronics to put victims into saw-like traps instead of habitually trying to put people into the suits. Hilariously enough I do find this in the spirit of the fnaf franchises confusing storyline. Although I do wish they could have kept Vanessa and Elizabeth seperate because it means Help wanted, Sister Location and Security Breach's stories and lore will be extremely difficult to put into the movie sequels if there is one.

Was never going to watch it so I’m happy you did this.

I know you looked at Willy's Wonderland already, and now you've done FNAF. Have you done that Banana Splits movie too? I feel like you kinda HAVE to now - knock out all these animatronic horror movies that came out in the wake of FNAF's success. Besides, after this, it would be nice to see a movie that actually has more kills and violence than Five Nights at Freddys. I think it was a weird choice to keep it so kid-friendly, since - as you point out - it's been a LONG time since FNAF came out and the audience has grown up with it. I think they could handle a few more kills/jumpscares than this movie provides... luckily, it made a ton of money so I'm sure we'll see a movie sequel, and one that hopefully ups the horror.

I’d I’ve to see you explain more in depth on the movie and series. Everyone has their own theory on the events, love to hear your take.

Yay! I'm glad @FoundFlix finally got to be part of the FNAF phenomenon

Please do a series / video of you explaining the games

I wasn't expecting you to cover this.

I'm surprised that @FoundFlix didn't notice the timestamp on one of the security camera feeds that puts the date in the year 2000.

I saw the film, but you did such a better job explaining the video.

Me and my dad watched David Fincher’s The Killer. The characters and atmosphere are so much to understand. It’s even based on a French comic book of the same name. Please do an Ending Explained on The Killer. Love the movie, need help to understand it more
