Horror movies don't always get great critical receptions, but even by those standards the Five Nights at Freddy's movie – which is available to stream on Peacock – is getting an absolute shoeing from reviewers: Buttered Popcorn calls it a "monstrous mess", The Independent calls it "generic horror movie sludge" and Double Toasted says "they didn't have anything for two hours, much less five nights".
It's only fair to note here that one member of team TechRadar loved the movie, but others in our group who saw it… did not. However, it's been a massive hit for Peacock, giving the streamer its best movie launch numbers to date, beating The Super Mario Bros. Movie (via IGN).
