Freddy's Fridays

Right, well I have to admit that I was actually expecting a "Five Nights at Freddy's" rip-off movie here, as I sat down to watch the 2023 movie "Freddy's Fridays". I mean, the title alone and the fact that it was released the very same year that "Five Nights at Freddy's" came out, just can't be a coincidence.

However, writers Charlie Carter and Tom Carter delivered something quite different. This was a strange movie in itself, because it was a bit all over the place. It felt most of all like a mixture of any random generic slasher flick, with some "Killer Klowns from Outer Space" elements thrown into the formula. The concept of "Freddy's Fridays" was a bit odd and all over the place, making it a very random and erratic movie. And that ultimately took a toll on the overall enjoyment of the movie.

I have to say that I found the storyline and narrative in "Freddy's Fridays" to be a bit too erratic and unstructured, so I wasn't particularly entertained here. Plus the fact that I was expecting it to be a mockbuster on "Five Nights at Freddy's" and it wasn't, well that was just a disappointment.

The acting performances in "Freddy's Fridays" were okay. You're not in for an evening of stellar performances from famous actors and actresses. In fact, I didn't know anyone on the cast. Sure, there were a couple of faces that I think I've seen before, but I wouldn't be able to tag a name on the faces, nor pinpoint in what movies I might have seen them.

Visually then "Freddy's Fridays" was okay. I was expecting animatronics, but instead we were treated to a very random collection of killers in odd costumes. Sure, it might have worked out if writers Charlie Carter and Tom Carter hadn't set up the movie to appear to be a mockbuster on "Five Nights at Freddy's". Sure, the costumes were actually interesting enough, but I was just expecting something quite different.

"Freddy's Fridays" was not a particularly enjoyable horror movie, because I was very disappointed with what director Ben J. Williams delivered. And it is not a horror movie that I would recommend fans of the horror genre to rush out and get to watch. Nor is it a movie that I will ever return to watch a second time.

My rating of "Freddy's Fridays" lands on a three out of ten stars.

I got sucked in by the title. It took a couple of seconds to realise I wasn't watching Five Nights at Freddy's but a low budget rip off.

Where to start with this steam pile of dog do do... the acting is sub par, the script is terrible, even the lighting is bad. The 'monsters' looked cheap.

I found nothing enjoyable in this movie.

I was in agony watching this and turned it off after twenty minutes. I wonder where the budget for this trash comes from.

Don't even watch this with friends as a laugh.

The people who gave this a ten are obviously involved with this blight on humanity parading as a movie.

Please stay away, I beg you, for your own good.

I love horror movies and I think there are many underrated movies that why I wanted to give this a try especially with the recent release of five nights and Freddys.

The movie follows a many trying to make a deal with a demon for untold riches. To give this they need to sacrifice a soul every Friday for 8 weeks. There is not much explained in the movie about Freddy, the book used to summon him or even why it has to be in a Friday so I was left with more questions than answers.

I also don't really see the connection between Freddy and the gang. Freddy looks alittle like an animatronic with glowing eye hidden behind a mask. However, the others are a clown and scarecrow. They just don't seem to fit together well and it really takes away from the movie.

Another thing I really struggled to ignore was the outfit designs. Some of the characters looks scary but this was broken with the bright white trainers and knee high socks.

Also the ending didn't seem to go anywhere either. They found a solution in how to deal with Freddy and put and end to what is happening but even with this information decided not to act upon it leaving Freddy to come back yet again.

I At the end I felt disappointed and like I had wasted my time. It's sad because it had potential to be a decent movie.

This movie is bad. Very bad. The title and the demons are an obvious attempt to ride the coattails of the inexplicable popularity of Five Nights at Freddy's, and the main demon is even called Freddy, though they make a point of letting you know that his real name is Frederique. Gotta' be legally distinct, I guess. Just like the book that summons these Party City costume "demons" is legally distinct from the Necronomicon.

But they repeatedly say that the demons can only be summoned on Fridays, but they show up one time on a Saturday. You might watch this and wonder why the protagonist and her boss keep talking about how they need to call for backup, but never actually do it. My guess is they couldn't afford any other actors.

An awful movie, but I raised my rating from one star to two, because the lead actress Danielle Scott seems like she's actually a pretty good actress. I'm convinced that a couple of scenes where she loses her cool weren't scripted, and it was actually Scott getting frustrated with how bad the script was. But then she reminded herself to be professional, and that she was getting paid. Just my theory, though.

But her being talented and attractive isn't enough to recommend the movie. It's still very bad.

Yeah, this is Asylum work right here. Get an idea from a future movie, slightly make it different and call it your own. Never been a fan of this, even tho a few such productions were 'so bad its good', but sadly Freddy's Friday misses the mark.

It really is a bland movie, with hollow characters, little to no plot, 0 development, what you see from the very first minutes is also the ending, and one truly laughable third act fight scene. One of the absolute worst, like those 70's low budget kung fu scenes.

No reason to recommend this, it is quite bad, no real moving forward with the story and an ending to fit the entire movie. Look elsewhere, this is bad

Cheers!
