Like Bad Pizza, the FNAF Movie is Fun, but Could Have Been Better

Very little can motivate me to visit the movie theater.  A big part stems from the complete lack of control I have over the movie.  I can’t turn the volume down; I can’t pause for bathroom breaks.  I also have to be around complete strangers and can’t pet my cats from the comfort of my…
