The Five Nights at Freddy’s movie is rated PG-13, but staying within the rating’s confines were a bit of a challenge.According to director Emma Tammi, the new horror movie pushes the boundaries of what’s usually seen or expected from PG-13 films. Before the movie was officially rated, many worried as to how it might adapt the video games’ material. An R-rating presented the possibility of strong gore and other violent aspects. On the other hand, this might have prevented the franchise’s younger fanbase from viewing it. Thus, a PG-13 rating was ultimately far more logical, especially since the games largely lack much in the way of overt gore. Still, Tammi assured that the movie is still visceral and scary, despite the less “adult” rating.In an interview with Inverse, Tammi stated, “We were trying to push it as far as we could while still retaining that PG-13 rating. That meant the kills needed to be executed in a certain way. And while it is so fun in many slasher films to see all the guts and the gore, it is also really fun to figure out creative ways to show these moments without showing all the details. In some cases, we leaned into shadows and silhouettes and sound design to really feel the moment in an impactful way without showing any gore. So that is something that I had a lot of fun doing, and actually really appreciated that we were taking the PG-13 approach for this because there’s such a younger audience for FNAF, and we didn’t want to exclude them.”RELATED: Jason Blum’s Big Budget FNAF Movie Has Already Earned Back Its Production Costs
