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'm not even going to address the details of this dumpster fire they call a movie. I want to know how these movies get made? What studios are handing out money for these movies. You're seriously telling me that a movie like this can get green lit and funded knowing that it will never get a theatrical release and never make that money back? But a movie like Deadpool sat on a shelf for 13 years and only got made because Ryan had to "accidentally" release some of it online. This is the world we live in?!?!

This is why the movie industry is dying, wasting money on crap like this. And because studios are wasting money on movies that not even lifers in prison would watch if it was their only option, really good movies get their budgets cut, or they just keep remaking the same movies over and over because it would cost too much money to buy original quality scripts. There are so many other movies that took writers and actors decades to get made because the studios wouldn't fund them, and when they finally do get made they turn out to be Oscar worthy movies, while over those decades money is being thrown away to pieces of crap like this! I mean please be honest, not the producer, writer, director, actors or distributors thought that this movie was going to add anything to the industry, it is never going to be the movie that some great entertainer accepting an award someday says was their inspiration. This movie is equivalent to some teens that found a camera and made a movie in their backyard, only with an actual budget and pretty girls.

And I'm sorry to be this mean but if you are an actor who can't seem to get a part in any movies other than these, then you really should have taken the hint by now, if all that is required to act is too remember words, fake emotions, and make faces to match that emotion or to look like you're reacting to something then everyone should be acting... Especially the women 😉 right ladies.

It just infuriates me to the core. There are good bad b horror films that I've either loved or at least got a kick out of them. This is there definition of RAGE WATCHING! Do better filmmakers!

This movie was a waste of my time, and I'll regret losing the time for the rest of my life. The horror aspect was overshadowed by the extended talking scenes, that had no true development of characters or even any bearing on the plot. I'd hoped that it would redeem itself through the characters or through scenery at the very least, but it truly was a low budget rip-off.

I am usually able to force myself through movies that I don't particularly enjoy, but I had to truly force myself for this one, and I regret it. The fight scene(read scene in quotations) made me laugh. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone at all, not even as a joke.

• This film suffers a bit from poor acting....
• Suffers a bit more from bad casting (I mean the "tough" captain's voice could NOT be less intimidating - like listening to a 5 year old yell at you... and it's your boss.)
• It suffers more from REALLY bad CGI blood effects... spirt, spirt.. not more spirts~!!

• It is ruined entirely by bad Directing.

It really the Direction that ruin this on the whole. The scene blocking is just really poor much of the time. I could toleration the mediocre acting and the bad CGI if the Direction was better. Most of the time you get the sense that you're just standing in the wrong place to see what's going on. Or conversations are filmed from WAY too close up. Seems VERY amateur.

Wasn't scary.. stupid story.. won't ever tolerate it again.

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.
