The Walten Files

The Walten Files is absolutely one of the most perfectly written and put together web series I've watched. I absolutely love this series and hope it gets the attention it deserves.

Interesting plot and characters, great spooky moments, and despite being animated on a phone, the art style is very interesting and benefits the series. The show uses very few jumpscares despite what it's originally based and instead relies on psychological horror and dreadful moments.

My critiques for this series are very few. The story is easy to follow, the art style is true to the theme of the series, which adds to the creep factor, the lore is my god, SO GOOD, and it does require a bit of thought to process some things shown. For something that was originally a fan game of FNaF, it's actually really good. But positive things aside, I will get into my very few critiques. (This is not a complaint but I will say the series is very gory and there is LOTS of body horror, real screaming, distorted faces, eye contact, and realistic animation.* The story can drag on at times, but is overall easy to follow. There are times where you are left at a point where you have no idea what is happening. The story is a bit too inspired by FNaf, but I'll let it slide because they put an amazing twist on it. I enjoyed the extra videos they hid inside, but I wish there was more. That's it. Enjoy the series. Peace.

I understand this series is inspired by FNAF, but in my opinion, the walten files does a better job at telling its story than fnaf. That might be due to the fact that it's clear fnaf didn't have a clear storyline when it originally started, but it's obvious the walten files does. I also understand the story is just getting started but it's already had some really strong footing. As surface level wacky some of the scenes are, the character design is really unique. This is likely the peak of analog horror and fnaf-inspired story telling but i'm not gonna hold my breath for it. I don't know what else to add.

This is one of the most interesting Fnaf inspired spin-offs I've ever seen. I think the animation mixed with live action is so cool and is a nice contrast. The story is really sad and is about the failings of humans and their relationships with some animatronics and murder mixed in. Overall, I enjoyed this SO much and I highly recommend for anyone that loves Fnaf and/or horror!
