Five Nights at Freddy's
Recently fired and desperate for work, a troubled young man named Mike agrees to take a position as a night security guard at an abandoned theme restaurant: Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria. But he soon discovers that nothing at Freddy's is what it seems.
Horror is foundational to the film's experience: the threat of haunted animatronics, survival scares, and tension drive the core viewing experience. While there are mystery/thriller elements and backstory aspects, removing the horror component would substantially alter the film's identity.
Best for viewers looking for a scary, high-tension, atmosphere-heavy, psychological, slow-burning and low-gore horror movie.
