i thoughjt itd be just kinda eh but not worse than that tbh
Tiffany: I think it’s reviewing worse with critics
yeah thats what i meant
audience scores are high
i should probably just watch it
fuck it idk what to do with my time im watching it now.
ive never played fnaf but i watched thafnine and wendigoons videos about the series lol so ive got some knowledge
plus im rly curious to see the effects and stuff





whyd the guy in the game never do that..
oh wait they were probably in there or something right.

Joker: Obviously it's because he wasn't the imposter *Shot for Amongus joke*





Moe: Omg godspeed scarlet I just watched this last night it was an experience…

with how much fnaf knowledge did u go into it
Moe: I know the first 3 games and maybe scattered lore from the others. I also saw that Wendigoon video but retained none of it lol

the true competitor..
haha i recently rewatched a bunch of his stuff so maybe thatll help
Moe: I read a review after that said this movies only purpose is to make Willy’s wonderland look like an overlooked masterpiece by comparison lol which is harsher than I would’ve been but made me laugh
god DAMN that is scathing
Moe: It’s a very slow day at work so I’m excited I can finally tune in to another scarlet liveblog ah im glad it seems i picked a good time ehehehe






Matthew lillard is in this?
Moe: YEAH LOL
HAHAHA I HAD NO IDEA
Moe: I didn’t either until the credits. Easily the most hype part of the movie lol
Moe: I also read markiplier was supposed to be that guy at the beginning but had to bow out
aw that wouldve been so neat

we meet josh and we learn
- he has meds he doesnt take
- he has a lone poster on his ceiling


he still looks so young to me
how old is josh hutcherson..
Moe: He’s our age! 31 I think

yeah only recently 31 too god damn

he doesnt look old enough..
or maybe its just cos im older myself now lol
Lou: YOOOO SCARLET MOVIE TIME FOR FNAF??????
YES WERE DOING THIS
Lou: BEST DAY OF MY LIFE

could you imagine if trhey made the kid flinging a toy at him a jumpscare haha
(if this was 2005 they wouldve.)
Lou: was 2005 a big time for jumpscares???
Moe: Yeah it’s surprisingly restrained on the jumpscares given that’s like the games whole thing
Lou: thats a genuine question i was 3 years old in 2005
i dont remember if it was mid 2000s or 2010s or both but there was a time goddamn everything was jumpscares yeah
Lou: ugh
indeed :/ dark times
im glad. the games jumpscares arent even good so im glad they didnt go ham on that
Amy: id think mid 2000s would be classic flash screamer era, 2010s more jumpscare video games (and the people making content out of them)
Lou: aren't the game jumpscares just "BOO spooky scary animal robot in ur face gahahaha"
Moe: So much 80s nostalgia lol
yeah pretty much
Lou: Double ugh




[cherries unrelated to the child]
Moe: Freddie deciding what toppings to put on this child he’s going to eat
oh we learn the little girl is his sister, not his daughter
also his name's Mike Schmid (yknow from the game!!! I. dont remember which guard he is specifically. Mike Afton? Yes? No? Maybe?)



oh wait that makes sense actually i forgot all the "lore" is like in the 80s but i suppose all the ghost robots is 2000s stuff






so what mike do u take anything u can get or are u gonna be pedantic about it the moment someone says u gotta clean the place


or are they just gonna slap a spooky game on the ipad to make the kid seem disturbed
Joker: Do spooky Procreate - best of both worlds
oh godp lease thatd be so funny

PURPLE GUY??? ???
(see i know my fnaf lore!!! )



might just be sleep medication to be fair, idk.
Five Nights at Freddy's, reminding you to take your meds :)
who knew horror movies could be so supportive





just this driving the car
Moe: I’d rewatch this if they make your edits
i'll send them a script with my revisions
they cant reject it
Joker: Five Nights At Freddy's - Priestess Edition

excellent argument, lady
Moe: She’s like “it’s so weird she draws all day and has imaginary friends and doesn’t talk wtf” and I’m like BITCH THAT WAS ME LOL
Joker: "Our child has hobbies and is introverted - we don't like that, please fix this"



Moe: He’s unironically one of my favorite parts of the movie lol


Moe: Instead of hide the pain Harold he’s distressed Doug


ugly animals resembling busted up old animatronics, perhaps
oh that lady is abby's aunt

guess whos gonna take the night shiiiiiiiiiift
(mike its mike mike is gonna take the night shift)



but kids are just like yay fun times!!!
makes me think of that video from mgmt. Kids
how the monsters in that look absolutely demented but the baby liked them just fine
.. ok sorry that tangent didnt go anywhere



steve explains hes just there cos people break in and while the place is defunct the owner just isnt ready to let it go yet
(im mostly making note of that cos im worried i might forget)


surprised thats not a bigger genre in analog horror
i know theres a few but i cant think of any thatve really taken off

I wondered if they still have these. I had to watch similar training videos for Walgreens and Express but maybe times have changed…


oooh were they old or at least sorta recent

They were early 2000s at best lol


did the henson company still do the animatronics/puppets or did that fall through
does anyone know
Moe: They did!
Moe: To my knowledge anyway
The animatronics do look great



idk if thats so they have an excuse for him to return on the later days
since that was always such a weird thing in the games


i like how they tried to make their outfits show which animatronic theyre haunting
or thats what i figure theyre doing






does she just exist so mike isnt a bad caretaker that leaves abby alone at night






so are they like
schmidts or aftons
or. extra family no. 3 (i know theres another important fam to fnaf lore but i figure theyre not a part of that lol)
oh nvm. shes not Mike's cousin
that guy is her brother tho. Apparently Mike's aunt is paying them to get something on Mike or something





thats not a thing in the game, but this is a blumhouse movie and we've got some horror cliche quotas to hit hmkay
Minty: FNAF LIVEBLOG LETS GOOOO


oh his sister isnt there btw. hes still alone

i feel like i mightve missed that hes trying to lucid dream to remember what hapened exactly with his brother/who took him

this is the movies version of the atari segments
creative

Moe: He’s turning into a young juggalo
omg quick mike lob some faygo into the woods to distract him




(srsly where did she come from)



I really didn’t like her character lol

i hate her so much and shes been here for like two minutes Moe: Glad it’s not just me lol
she feels like an extremely unneeded addition

fuckin great move


take the hint VANESSA


seriously which exec forced this character into the movie
everything she says is bad
so instead of phone guy we get vanessa the negging cop bitch
shes also just a bad actress


so theyre moving and stuff
mike says: this... this is... and vanessa says this:

Moe: SHE IS UGHHH


half expecting her to get annoyed he asked about the kids

god i need to take a deep breath im seriously screenshotting every line of hers now cos of how bad she is OTL



oh and more cannon fodder




is.. is it gonna do something?
or is gonna chica pop up


also i guess this guys name is carl
..or the cupcake gasped. not sure


guess they changed the rules for the movie


(im referencing this. I thought this was more popular than it was rip)

also i get that the cupcake is hyperfast or whatever but the animatronics should be pretty easy to outrun id think.. I cant imagine them being fast
he sees the older man running on one of the cameras. hes screamin but theres no subs







the animatronics are done really well! thats cool
thats probably the most important part. even if the plot is kinda jank people are there for them
the sound design on them is rly good as well they sound really heavy


..i feel like chica prolly shouldnt have eyebrows

alrighty
imagine if nobody was watching while they did that. theyd be staring into the camera for nothing. how embarrassing.


its 2023 you have no excuse!!!
as a movie character i mean. not. as in. like. in the movie time cos its 2000 in the movie
uh anyway

if i'd gone deaf at some point and i read this subtitle id fully imagine they mean it sounds like scatman john with a mechanical filter over it.
oh the emergency exit door is locked
so he couldnt get out

so.. not.. freddy?

shes super spooked already even though she has no reason to be. she should just be annoyed theyre taking so long






there is 0 motivation for this
unless her relationship with abby is supposed to indicate she loves kids and wants to help this boy but they didnt do a good enough job then

the bite of-


HE BIT HER IN HALF
it wasnt just a bad effect, the animatronics arent big enough for that!!
for one you fcan see that and also one of the most famous bits of the game is that one of them bit a child on the head
it would never fit a fully grown persons body




showing up at his house
clearly annoyed theres a child there (that she initially mistakes for his daughter)

i was 100% ready to believe vanessa was unhinged enough to stalk mike at his house


Moe: My issue with this is, unless I wasn’t paying attention, Mike didn’t leave the place unlocked. YOU left with him in the morning. YOU saw him lock it.
oh my god i think youre right
lemme quickly go back
Moe: Yeah the guy randomly knew how to get in but not because Mike fucked up
yeah they dont go through the front door

Moe: Also I’m like lady don’t you have a job? You just hung out all night with this guy while in uniform with your police cruiser. Are you on the clock or nah lol
yeah i was thinking the same thing, shes like "freddys part of my rounds" girl you spent the whole night until 6am there Mbr< what are you doing


dads also outta the picture
then mike says they used to be a typically cheesy family and at dinner they would say grace
and vanessa says that sounds really nice
who the fuck wants to say grace before dinner lol who laments not being able to do that

Moe: I used to go to an after school program at a church where we had to say grace before snack time and I hated that lol

i wish the movie was interactive and i had a button to set off her radio so whenever she walks into a scene i can press the button and she immediately has to fuck off

srsly movie what are you trying to do with her
shes right that he shouldnt sleep on the job, especially shouldnt be inducing it, but to throw his pills away is just a dick move



considering the place got trashed im not sure why he's stil going in, he's not gonna get paid right? i know vanessas not gonna file a report or whatever but this feels like a plothole..
then again i guess its more about keeping the animatronics at bay.. but
they.,.. killed people..
i forgot the lore, maybe im thinking too much about it
i might be forgetting something
Moe: I think if someone with some lore familiarity can’t figure out why characters are doing things the movie has failed at its job lol
Moe: It should be understandable to someone who knows nothing imo
ok wait i think i might have an idea?
but it doesnt make sense if mike doesnt remember
tho he did have that bit where he said that you never truly forget things
hes clearly mike afton, cos Steve read his name and switched gears all of a sudden
which would indicate his dad is william afton, who made the animatronics in the first place
which would mean garrett's spirit is in one of the suits..
cos in the original game mike gets his little brother killed by one of the suits
but idk how the movie would tie that into it with all the stuff it's set up so far
though admittedly its not a lot, its mostly generic horror movie stuff with some plot around mike thrown in, its taking its sweet time
though the film also seemed to imply matthew lillard plays springtrap which iirc is william afton...
aaaaaaaaaim so lost
my head hurts ok lets just continue


no 80s inspired bangers though.

considering people broke in the day before its really irresponsible hes letting his little sister sleep in another room than he is in
and then he goes to sleep himself
ah no they are in the same room. the way the shots were set up made me think it was different rooms

then again i do think a child has more of an excuse than a grown adult eg. max
or teen idk how old max was






hows he not covered in gore considering he bit someone in half yesterday

speakin of.
where are the dead bodies




i know its not that important but considering the other three look relatively ok it really stands out, if i didnt know why itd really bother me
but maybe thats just me


still better than giving her to aunt jen




wow i butchered that way harder than i intended

nobody wants u here



did u also know theyre capable of murder u twit

its not doing a great job conveying the story in an interesting way so far :/


...
why are they doing this again?
is.. mike gonna find out who abducted his brother through this, somehow?
Moe: Every fnaf fan knows fort building is integral to the story! Forts are very scary

remember when he beat a man to death in a utility closet?
i dont think the movie does :)
yeah i remember u gotta keep an eye on each animatronic thats helping you to make sure they dont tip over. nervewracking gameplay

vanessa offers to leave the scene but mike comes with her so ughhh guess shes not gonna die here



cos we cant have anything be a surprise in this movie.
that'd be too exciting.
mike explains he comes back to the pizza place cos his dreams of garrett are more vivid here. that explains that




its definitely not cos i came here as a kid and know the dead kids!!!



bitch you were building forts with her an hour ago
shut the fuck up
Moe: HER CHARACTER MAKES NO SENSE AURGH

shes easily the worst part of the movie



which he didnt bother to tell abby



idk why they have the power to do that. or why this is the path were going. but. ok.

just. yknow. casually


hes like u can have a nice dream of ur family just give us ur sister

he's like three lol its not fair but hes annoying


31 getting picked on by a buncha dead ten year olds

..face.. destruction??? seriously what is this machine
Moe: Just put your arm out with your hand on their head and let their tiny arms swing at you in vain!! You have the arm span advantage Mike I believe in u
yeah why doesnt he do anything lol theyre kiiiids
Moe: Or just kick them lol


animatronics coulda cleaned up the place themselves if they bothered with the bodies. geez

which cant move around cos it doesnt have a skeleton. rip
unless thats the springtrap suit, its kinda hard to see

i think he does that in game.. i just forgot
the original sound is decidedly more goofy



pls dont tell me hes gonna go "im not freddy im golden freddy"





tho. maybe not stinky giant robot man
he also looks way too big to fit in there




they made it so much more generic than the original fnaf story
i dont think i've seen source material be butchered so hard in a long time
admittedly fnaf's story would probably be tough to adapt to a movie but they just threw the whole thing outta the window
vanessa is plot dumping while we see abby walk around the pizzeria

vanessa: he was a very bad man


she cant act for shit and she gets 90% of all exposition
jesus christ

thats straight from the games and it made no sense there either tbh. i think the game even mentioned that the suits smelled like death for a while. how the fuck did nobody check them
why is that one of the plot points you would copy



you didnt do shit!
if its not matthew lillard im gonna be so disappointed


who the fuck are you vanessa
i tried to warn you by being cryptic as shit and also not trying to stop my father in any goddamn way

Moe: When i helped you build a fort that was a secret code…

garrets lil plane i mean
i dont know if i screenshotted it before oops




that'd be nice
they weakly imply william abused her by having a scream play over her looking nervous but thats it. guess they really cared about that character aspect

Moe: If u know an attempted child murder is about to take place, as a police officer, even if you’re too scared to face your murderous dad on your own, couldn’t you just call someone???
oh my god i didnt even think about that
why the fuck isnt she calling in the force
the only time she used her police powers for anything was to threaten to shoot mike
Moe: GET YOUR HEAD IN THE GAME VANESSA

now featuring: rats!



bit late for that considering we've seen then walk around on their own and build forts and shit

what robot were they gonna put abby in anyway

Moe: Or teeth for that matter lol
...true
maybe thats why she has paw pads
they were like she has teeth so why not give her more inaccuracies

we really cant do better nowadays..?
it looked better when they used to paint it on

she vaguely looks like ballora or circus baby but shes neither. i guess they made up an animatronic for the movie.. but why




man how are these robots so popular
theyre so ugly
like i get that people like the concept of fnaf but i dont get the fascination with the specific robots

i mean oh no!

except not really. sjust. kinda a kid. at an angle where hes got two chins. so. yeah. very scary movie, good job
Lou: OH YOURE STILL GOING
Lou: FUCK YEAH I DIDNT MISS IT ALL

they kinda suck rip
yeah with all t he pausing it takes a long time. we got about 15 mins left
..unless part of that is credits

Lou: very happy i still get to experience some of it



im still super impressed with the suits though they look really impressive

fuckin hell thats a dark screenshot hang on
Moe: The cupcake honestly does like 75% of the damage to people in this movie lol

it does wow what a decision. wonder if its cos it can move around more easily? but its not exactly iconic

Moe: Yeah I wondered if it was a speed thing or if it was just hard to show the big guys doin stuff so they just didn’t
they had freddy poorly bite someone in half
i feel like they couldve tried some other stuff lol
Moe: His moment of glory…and even that was in silhouette
yeah and bonnie and foxy were completely off screen

hes also decidedly smaller and less bulky than t he other suits. but why, i wonder


oh yeah so springtrap talks btw
shouldve maybe mentioned that

>still has to use a regular old knife
i mean why even have the suit at that point

very cute

fnaf fandom is crazy fast
Moe: u gotta have fast reflexes to fnaf

Moe: THE MAN, THE MYTH, THE LEGEND
i could see him wear the suit if it was to try and lure in abby, but abby doesn't see him until he's revealed his true intentions to mike. He's not a ghost, so hes not wearing it for the reason the game's version is still in the suit. Why're you wearin the suit billy?
saving the whole movie in the last 10 minutes
Moe: Truly the only time I was actively having fun w this movie was when he was on screen. And Doug, I liked Doug.

doug was fun. i missed him until matthew showed up.


"let me spell out the most obvious fucking shit to you, again and again and again"

man where is garrett in all this. why did some kids end up in suits and garrett didnt? was it cos he wasnt killed at the pizzeria? how many kids did afton kill? why? if he could easily get to kids at his pizzeria, why did he abduct garrett in a park? wouldnt that put him in more danger of getting caught?
SO MANY QUESTIONS


Moe: Here’s a q for you since I didn’t want to go back: is Abby in the room for the exposition? Did someone tell her yellow rabbit murdered all those kids? I was confused how she knew what to draw
mike says it to her once, thats about it Moe: Ahh ok






oh yeah cos she'll survive the movie. bah

(and jhutch. he's fine)

(she took down the drawing where theyre all holding hands with him)
considering the pizzeria is like, intertwined with their souls or something, thats fine i think. But it kinda makes me wish they'd done more with the art wall




as if vanessa isnt gonna go "ugh [bleeding on the floor unconvincingly] the.. spring locks...."


i mean youre right, but.

afton's dying on the floor, not worried about a thing. so the ghosts kinda lost tbh
also it wasnt subbed but abby asked mike "whats going on" and mike went "the spring locks"
which is purely there for the audience (cos the movie thinks youre a fucking idiot), and also, ABBY DOESNT KNOW WHAT THE FUCK A SPRING LOCK IS
shes seen them yes, but she doesnt know what they are!!!
nor what theyre called!






maybe she couldnt convincingly portray being in a hospital bed so they went fuck it youre asleep
(am i being too mean about the actress)
(srsly tho vanessa was so baaaaaaad)


i think that was in the games as well

i heard people say it ended on this song, i didnt think that was legit...

[he says come find me btw.]
i'll have to rewatch it but i think i agree willy's wonderland is more fun OTL
the suits were good, matthew lillard was fun, but the plot was a mess
[a little while later]
Minty: OKAY SO, WITH GARRET, the theory is that he might be The Puppet and will appear in the second movie Minty: The plot is def messy, but TBF the game plots can be messy too Very true
Moe: Maybe he’s the cupcake cuz he’s small
Minty: THATS ALSO A THEORY SHSHSJDJ
Minty: Although I feel like the cupcake is maybe a residual haunting, made animate by the children's rage and hatred
The puppet was the other owners daughter though.. then again why would they follow that lore when they didnt follow any of the other Minty: Yeah lmao
Minty: That's also why there's a theory Vanessa might die and become the puppet
I think at this point you could technically come up with anything and it might be plausible hahaha
Lou: hey scarlet to cleanse ur palate from this movie what do you think of this magic the gathering card
