How Scary Will Five Nights At Freddy's Be?

The Five Nights At Freddy's video games became something of a gaming phenomenon, renowned for their atmosphere, villains, and scares. The upcoming Blumhouse movie certainly seems to be honoring the spirit of the games, including with its age rating. Five Nights At Freddy's is rated PG-13 for "strong violent content, bloody images and language," which is in keeping with most of the games' own teen-friendly ratings.

While there may not be heaps for blood and gore with a PG-13, the rating doesn't mean the movie can't feature jump scares and moments of violence. Blumhouse's recent hit M3gan, for example, made effective use of its PG-13 rating, as did The Boogeyman, a Stephen King adaptation from this past summer. There's no denying, however, that Five Nights At Freddy's will have to tone down aspects that wouldn't be acceptable to younger viewers.

The upcoming adaptation not be pushing the envelope in terms of how scary it is, then, but much of the enduring appeal of the franchise has to do with the unique atmosphere and setting of the scares. The Five Nights At Freddy's trailers have already revealed that the movie will definitely be honoring these aspects of the game, including with its depiction of Fazbear Freddy and his murderous companions.
