“Five Nights at Freddy’s” wants to do for animatronic arcade characters what “It” did for clowns. That’s unlikely, as this latest transformation from game to screen yields a weird horror concoction, fleetingly clever in the early going before gumming up the gears down the home stretch.
Part of that has to do with the need to graft a more detailed plot onto the game as well as trying to deliver the requisite scares while still qualifying for a less-restrictive R rating. The Blumhouse production is still plenty dark, despite exhibiting more restraint when it comes to gore than much of the genre.
The prolific Blumhouse has already generated a substantial horror hit around a murderous robot in “M3GAN,” and the disarming design of the animatronic figures should tickle the same taste buds. The missing-kid plot, however, clumsily adds a very dark streak to the proceedings, and the film doesn’t lay enough groundwork to conjure much mystery before getting around to the revelations.
