On the surface, the Five Nights at Freddy’s movie might feature cute-looking animals. However, these animals are, in fact, spooky animatronics that could cause nightmares. Here’s all the information you need about the film’s age rating, how scary it is, and whether it is safe for children.

What is the Five Nights at Freddy’s movie age rating?

Five Nights at Freddy’s got a “PG-13″ rating from the MPAA as it features “strong violent content, bloody images, and language.”

Some fans hoped it would be rated “R” as that would have confirmed its adult-oriented approach. However, this PG-13 rating doesn’t come as a surprise as it is consistent with all the franchise’s T (Teen) rated games.

Is Five Nights at Freddy’s safe for children?

As the PG-13 rating suggests, Five Nights at Freddy’s is unsuitable for children and young teenagers who are 12 years old or younger.

If your 12-year-olds are horror movie fans and have watched violent ones like M3GAN before, then Five Nights at Freddy’s might be okay for them as it falls into a similar bracket. However, parental guidance is heavily recommended.

Is Five Nights at Freddy’s scary?

Despite falling under the horror genre, Five Nights at Freddy’s isn’t necessarily terrifying as it mostly relies on jumpscares and its violence.

The backstory involved could be considered slightly frightening. Overall, however, the film is suitable for teenagers in terms of its horror.

The official synopsis of Five Nights at Freddy’s reads:

“The film follows a troubled security guard as he begins working at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza. While spending his first night on the job, he realizes the night shift at Freddy’s won’t be so easy to make it through.”
