Felix Hubble’s review published on Letterboxd:
This film's only saving grace is that it's marginally better than Willie's Wonderland, though at least that film was weird. This one feels disted, illogical, rewritten to hell, and hacked to shreds. There's absolutely no need for this to be 110 minutes - failing to adhere to the basic tenets of gameplay from its source material, or its tone (animatronics aren't a leering, barely moving presence here, traversing large spaces, often with rapid pace, barely hiding in the dark and effectively never monitored on CCTV screens). The shift to making them real, anthropomorphic objects is a weaker decision, that may have worked better if they went all in, with more screentime given to the movements of the cool anamatronics (perhaps a middle ground between the gameplay of the original material, and third-person POV of the anamatronics moving, unbeknownst to the human characters in the film might have achieved a stronger and more cinematic middle-ground?). Overall, a misguided, miscalculated, ugly and (mostly) boring adaptation. They did cast a kid that looked like a bear though...
