Greg's VLOG Reviews: Willy's Wonderland
Does this film capture the essence of the concept behind "FIve Nights at Freddies"? Or is it another film for the Walmart bargin bin? Find out in my review!
Five Nights at Freddy's series
Comes so close to being great
The backstory is great
The "It's your birthday" song is fantasic
Great monster design
The Concept works!
Nicholas Cage is just a name on the poster
The films not scary....at alll
Sets seem out of place
The characters are all pretty throw away
Stong & silent doesn't really work
Some really bad green screen
Unimaginative deaths and fight scenes
Set design is pretty bad

Liked:
- silent part played by Cage.
- some of the editing cuts ie after most character’s deaths he just changes his shirt and goes back to playing pinball or cleaning another part of the restaurant
- we ate Thai food while we watched it and it reminded me of bringing takeout back to my hotel in some small Thai tourist city and turning on HBO while relaxing in the A/C.
Disliked:
- Was expecting something like Mandy but it felt more like C-grade direct to video schlock, but not in a good way. When it wasn’t doing cool editing things like mentioned above, it felt a little sloppy ie continuity errors like Cage missing the duct-tape bandaid in a bathroom shot, and the reflection of the owner’s car explosion in his sunglasses while they were driving away from it in the final scene.
Had some laughs at the wtf moments but I think it mostly missed the mark.
