Oh man, get this. I was hanging at my weirdo security job with really creepy animatronic puppets, when one came to life and bopped me right on the head. Now I don’t remember a thing! Do you remember what happened in Five Nights at Freddy’s?
Pop Quiz Hot Shot!
1) When we meet our hero he is a bit worse for wear. First, he barely sleeps. What does he do instead?
2) Second, he doesn’t have a job. Why not? What happened with his last job?
3) Finally, his aunt is pestering him. Why does she want to take his baby sister from him?
4) Welp, whatever. In the end we learn that at his new security job there are living animatronic puppets. Who / what are in the puppets though?
5) And finally, who’s in the puppet suit?
Bonus Question: Much like a video game this demands a sequel. In the mid-credits scene Hutcherson receives a call. Who’s there?
Answers
1) He lucid dreams obviously … wait what?! That’s right, he is lucid dreaming in order to try and unlock a memory that might lead him to learning what happened to his younger brother. He goes back to … Nebraska maybe? That’s what the poster says, but it might also just be a park in the city he lives in. Regardless, there he relives the kidnapping trying to learn something about the car / person that took his brother.
2) He was a security guard at a mall. All good right? WRONG. He is standing in line when he sees what appears to be a kidnapping in progress. Naturally this triggers some PTSD rage in him and he chases after, tackles, and beats the shot out of (it turns out) a young child’s peeved but non-threatening father. Whoops!
3) She wants that dough. We learn that definitively later on. But I suppose a big part of the story is that it appears that she is (rightfully) concerned that this lucid-dreaming rager-filled lunatic is responsible for a young girl with what appears to be mental issues of her own … but yeah, eventually it turns out she just wants money from the state and really doesn’t give a shit about either of them.
4) G-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-ghosts! I’m not kidding. The ghosts of young children inhabit the animatronic bodies and make them move and play and stuff. The main issue is they are still being controlled by a nefarious force.
5) In the end obviously it is the most famous person in the cast, Matthew Lillard, who is the bad guy. Who’d have thunk it. But all it takes is a bit of psychology and the puppet master becomes the … murder victim I guess, the puppets all murder him.
Bonus Answer: C’mon you know it is Steve Raglan! He’s back Jack. In a world of ghosts a little thing like death won’t keep him down. And he has something to day. You remember your brother, well … he didn’t kill him. But he knows who did. The issue is, that in order to learn the truth he’s going to have to come back to Freddy’s and resurrect him. And there is only one way to do that: the sixth night. So Hutcherson returns on the sixth night, where a previously hidden room reveals itself and Hutcherson learns the truth: Raglan was a young man when he was recruited by a strong-willed psycho into a murder spree. When Raglan found out that his mentor was preying on victims without him he killed him in a rage and buried his body in the park in which Hutcherson’s brother was kidnapped. While he claimed he had no idea where Hutcherson’s brother could be, the mentor’s ghost might, and it is most certainly trapped in torment in the park. Hutcherson follows through and releases Raglan’s soul in exchange for this information. Heading down to the park bring Hutcherson much pain, but in the end the ghost reveals that it was the reverse. Raglan recruited him as a young man and killed him when he aged out of usefulness. Hutcherson’s brother was to be the next mentee, but if he isn’t with Raglan then … who knows. When Hutcherson returns to Freddy’s the animatronics are waiting, and a final fight ensues. Just as Raglan is about to defeat Hutcherson though a young man comes in and kills him. It is Hutcherson’s brother, who escaped Raglan’s clutches a year prior and has been hunting for his brother before realizing that Raglan had gotten to him first. They are reunited, and go home … for now.
It is obviously called Six Nights at Freddy’s but it has just occurred to me that the easier thing would have been to, you know … read about what the sequel was actually about in the video games. That is certainly what the screenwriters are going to do.
