Five Nights at Freddy's, which just wrapped up Blumhouse's biggest-ever opening weekend, shares some DNA with Scream. Not only does it feature Matthew Lillard, who was a standout in the original Scream, but it's got that same pop culture-obsessed vibe, drenching its horror in the familiar. The original Freddy's concept, which plays with the unintentional creepiness of Chuck E.
At the heart of the similarities is Lillard, one of cinema's most likable character actors but also someone who generally plays characters who just read as a bit"off." We asked Five Nights at Freddy's filmmaker Emma Tammi about working with the actor."Matthew is stepping into an iconic character in terms of the lore of FNAF, and he himself is so iconic in the horror genre," Tammi told ComicBook.com."But also, the Scooby-Doo franchise.
Blumhouse's Five Nights at Freddy's movie largely follows the initial setup of the game, in which a security guard is besieged by malicious pizzeria animatronics come to life. Of course, that's a little thin; audiences need a bit more than that for a movie adaptation, so the story has been built up around that premise.
"The film follows Mike a troubled young man caring for his 10-year-old sister Abby , and haunted by the unsolved disappearance of his younger brother more than a decade before," says an official synopsis for the film."Recently fired and desperate for work so that he can keep custody of Abby, Mike agrees to take a position as a night security guard at an abandoned theme restaurant: Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria. But Mike soon discovers that nothing at Freddy's is what it seems.
