Can Five Nights At Freddy’s Escape The Resident Evil Fandom Curse?
By BJ COLANGELO
Even with its many film adaptations, the “Resident Evil” franchise has struggled to satisfy all of its fans, and the “Five Nights at Freddy’s” movie could have a similar problem.
The movie adaptation of “FNaF” is joining the property’s 13 games and over 30 graphic novels. The film must have broad appeal, making it unlikely to cater to die-hard fans.
One reason the first game was successful was the intimate connection between the players and what was shown on screen, but the film needs a narrative approach to the material.
The “FNaF” movie has been in the works since 2015, giving fans plenty of time to theorize what it would be about. Unfortunately, this also means expectations could be unrealistic.
