Willy's Wonderland and Five Nights at Freddy's

 

 

You know there is something familiar about this concept.  Someone from work mentioned this movie because I talked about Nic Cage.  I saw the trailer and couldn’t believe how much it has in common with the game series Five Nights at Freddy's.  After looking into it, this movie isn’t an adaptation or remake of FNAF.  That could cause some problems...legal problems.  Willy’s and Freddy’s, are you serious?  The twist is that the “hero” kicks the robotic puppets’ asses.   

 

If you lived in Louisville, you had Chuck E. Cheese and ShowBiz Pizza in other places.  Chuck Cheese bought the remaining Show Biz locations.  Both companies had creepy robotic singing animals.  As a child, I was always scared of these soul-less monsters singing creepy songs as your parents ate shitty pizza.  The only reason to go to Chuck E. Cheese was to play the arcade videogames.  I remember spending hours playing Double Dragon.  

It does seem odd that these movies are coming out now grant the buzz for these types of movies has gone down.
