Five Nights At Freddy's: Into The Pit Giving Retro Chills and Robot Bunny Kills

Five Nights at Freddy's Into The Pit
By Melissa Bostaph (twitch.tv/mother_chaos)

Allow me to begin this review by admitting to you that I am not a Five Nights At Freddy's (lovingly referred to as FNAF) fangirl. Truth be told, I know as much about the franchise as most casual gamers who don't play the games do, and I learned about it by watching Markiplier playthroughs or listening to my kids babble on about it. My personal, hands-on experience with any of the games has been limited to playing the very first installment of  FNAF for research to surprise my FNAF-obsessed son with a special birthday cake. The game was fun for sure, but definitely too high-stress and claustrophobic for my liking. My preference has always been the wide-open worlds of games like Fallout 4 and Red Dead Redemption, or the gameplay of Tomb Raider or Bloodborne. Being trapped in a single room fighting off the unseen terrors of the outside world, only to be slapped in the face, time and again, with failure, is what I do on a daily basis as an illustrator and parent. I play games to escape that reality, so the FNAF franchise has just never really interested me.

Universal Pictures WOLF MAN Coming January

Universal Pictures WOLF MAN
What if someone you loved became something else?

From Blumhouse and visionary writer-director Leigh Whannell, the creators of the chilling modern monster tale The Invisible Man, comes a terrifying new lupine nightmare: Wolf Man.

Golden Globe nominee Christopher Abbott (Poor Things, It Comes at Night) stars as Blake, a San Francisco husband and father, who inherits his remote childhood home in rural Oregon after his own father vanishes and is presumed dead. With his marriage to his high-powered wife, Charlotte (Emmy winner Julia Garner; Ozark, Inventing Anna), fraying, Blake persuades Charlotte to take a break from the city and visit the property with their young daughter, Ginger (Matlida Firth; Hullraisers, Coma).

But as the family approaches the farmhouse in the dead of night, they’re attacked by an unseen animal and, in a desperate escape, barricade themselves inside the home as the creature prowls the perimeter. As the night stretches on, however, Blake begins to behave strangely, transforming into something unrecognizable, and Charlotte will be forced to decide whether the terror within their house is more lethal than the danger without.
