A troubled security guard begins working at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. During his five nights on the job, he realizes that something is wrong with the pizzeria and pretty soon finds the truth about its animatronics.

Lagi satu film horor dirilis, yakni Five Nights at Freddy’s yang kembali diproduseri Jason Blum. Film arahan Emma Tammi ini diadaptasi dari gim populer bertitel sama karya Scott Cawton yang juga membantu menulis naskahnya. Film ini dibintangi Josh Hutcherson, Elisabeth Lail, Piper Runio, serta Matthew Lillard. Akankah film ini bakal memuaskan dan selaris video gimnya?

Mike (Hutcherson) adalah seorang pemuda yang tiap kali dipecat dari pekerjaannya karena melanggar aturan. Ia amat membutuhkan pekerjaan sebagai syarat utama untuk mendapat pengakuan hak asuh atas adiknya, Abby (Runio), setelah ayah mereka pergi. Ia pun akhirnya terpaksa menerima pekerjaan aneh untuk menjaga bekas restoran Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza yang sudah terbengkalai. Tugasnya sederhana yakni untuk menjaga kebersihan di tempat tersebut serta mencegah orang untuk masuk ke lokasi tersebut. Satu hal yang Mike tidak ketahui, para robot di sana rupanya hidup dan memangsa manusia.

Entah seperti apa gimnya, namun kemiripan plotnya dengan film Willy’s Wonderland memang tidak terelakkan. Lokasi keduanya adalah tempat hiburan anak-anak yang terbengkalai dengan para robot animatronik yang brutal. Sementara Willy’s adalah film menghibur melalui penampilan memikat sang bintang (Nick Cage), Freddy’s justru sebaliknya. Apa yang dijanjikan premisnya, tak mampu disajikan menggigit dan membekas dalam plotnya, baik sisi horor, ketegangan, hingga tentu aksi brutal para robotnya. Kisahnya pun terasa absurd dengan selipan sisi trauma yang membingungkan dan entah bagaimana, roh bisa merasuki para robot (tentu ini adalah premis gimnya). Nyaris tak ada aspek yang menghibur, kecuali visualisasi para robotnya.

Banyak kemiripan dengan Willy’s Wonderland, Five Nights at Freddy’s tak mampu mengolah potensi premisnya yang absurd, dan satu hal krusial, kurang menghibur. Willy’s unggul dari semua aspeknya serta penampilan langka dari sang bintang. Saya belum pernah memainkan gimnya, namun jelas film ini bukanlah sesuatu yang fun dan menghibur seperti diharapkan gimnya. Jika ingin tontonan horor senada yang memuaskan dan menghibur, Willy’s Wonderland adalah jawabannya.
