Fan response to Blumhouse's Five Nights at Freddy;s movie adaptation being rated PG-13 has been mixed, but there's no reason it shouldn't work.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Some Five Nights at Freddy's fans might be disappointed Blumhouse's live-action adaptation is rated PG-13, but that really shouldn't be an issue. The last decade has seen a marked uptick in the number of live-action video game adaptations. On average, they've been getting better too, as seen with HBO's critically acclaimed The Last of Us or the Sonic the Hedgehog movies.
Many of the early titles were rated "T for Teen" and were largely lacking in bloodshed. It was the atmosphere and the fear of the unseen that made them so unnerving, and the Five Nights at Freddy's adaptation need to focus on recreating that experience for movie audiences. There might be a fun version of the film that featured Freddy Fazbear, Bonnie and the rest of the animatronic gang ripping apart unsuspecting victims, but there's never been what the game franchise was about.
Five Nights at Freddy's is also exploring the twisted backstory behind the animatronic creatures, and what their goal is. Any true adaptation of the game should be focused on suspense and tension building first and foremost - but that doesn't mean it can't get violent or nasty when it needs to.
