Five Nights at Freddy\u2019s<\/em> is one of the most successful independent video games<\/strong> ever and just might be the best (read scariest) horror video game ever created<\/strong>. With plenty of successful sequels and millions of screaming fans around the world, it came as no surprise last year when a major film studio bought the rights to turn it into a movie<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Not just any studio either. Blumhouse Productions<\/strong> have been responsible for some of the best horror movies of recent years, including Paranormal Activity, Get Out, Insidious, Split, The Purge<\/em>, and Sinister<\/em>. Blumhouse and FNAF<\/em> seem like a perfect match for each other<\/strong> and with the recent announcement of Home Alone\u2019s<\/em> Chris Columbus as director, writer, and producer the FNAF<\/em> movie is shaping up nicely.<\/p>\n

As well as directing Home Alone<\/em>, Columbus has been responsible for movies including Mrs.Doubtfire<\/em> and two Harry Potter<\/em> films, but also Gremlins<\/em> and, more recently, The Witch.<\/em> There isn\u2019t much information about the FNAF<\/em> movie out there yet, but as the game is loved by children all over the world<\/strong>, it\u2019d be a good guess that Blumhouse will try to take advantage of this by making a horror film that\u2019ll have kids scared witless without having them burst into tears. If this is what they\u2019re planning, then Columbus is an inspired choice for the director<\/strong> as his CV includes a mix of all the elements needed to do just that.<\/p>\n
