Common Sense Media deemed the movie suitable for kids 14 and up, cautioning about its many depictions of violence and terror. Those include scenes showing young children being abducted, a man getting killed by a whirling saw, monsters biting a man in half and a man choking and then stabbing a woman.
No, an R-rated cut of the Five Nights at Freddy's movie does not exist. The movie was always intended to be PG-13. Blumhouse went for a PG-13 FNAF film right from the beginning to get the film a widespread appeal. An R-rating limits movies to a smaller audience.
A woman is stabbed with a large knife. Blood is seen infrequently as a small stain on her shirt. A lot of the violence is depicted off-screen, but with occasional gory aftermath and without shying away from showing blood.

As far as horror films go, Five Nights at Freddy's is not the most gory or disturbing by any means. But parents should know there is a significant amount of violence and bloodshed (more details below on that).
We see a man that turns purple covered with blood and half of his face has the ennard skull. Then we see see the same purple hand, sitting at the couch. A man is stabbed with a hook. Unlike the FNAF games, the movie is not suitable for children and young teenagers due to it's bloody violence and disturbing content.
Summary. Five Nights at Freddy's movie earns a PG-13 rating due to strong violent content, bloody images, and language, in line with typical hallmarks of a PG-13 film.
Summary. The Five Nights at Freddy's movie doesn't quite stack up against M3GAN. The Five Nights at Freddy's notably lacks scares and good kills, making it feel too kid-friendly. M3GAN became a horror icon by handling the idea of evil animatronics better.
Speaking of jump scares, “FNAF” incorporates some excellent ones throughout the movie's story. They are not always dramatic jump scares, which is an upside. Horror movies that utilize too many extreme jump scares become boring.
It's definitely better if you're already familiar with FNaF. I do have some small nitpicks like some of the dialogue is a bit cringe and there are some unresolved plot lines that are definitely added to be resolved in sequels but outside of that it's good. Content collapsed.
Now, that isn't to say Freddy's is clean—far from it, in fact—just that the violence here isn't as bloody, gory or graphic as I was expecting. That said, there is a lot of deadly violence.
In Five Nights At Freddy's, the violence features stabbings, slashings with bladed instruments, and an undetailed decapitation, resulting in bloody aftermath injury detail. The emphasis and inclusion of bloody images exceed the framework of our Guidelines at 12A, but is suitable for people aged 15 and over.
Violence includes a general sense of terror, screaming, jump scares, deaths, panic, threats, and more. A monster chomps a character in half and attacks people's faces and legs. Young children are in peril, abducted, and shocked. Gory corpses are seen.
The Five Nights at Freddy's movie is strictly for those 15 and over. Director Emma Tammi certainly hasn't watered down any of the elements that make the FNAF games so tense – in fact, ODEON's atmospheric big screen and surround sound dial them full up.
Immediately following Jeff's demise is babysitter Max's demise, which turns out to be the goriest part of the movie. This also marks the last jumpscare that may truly scare you and leave you feeling horrified.
Released in theaters on April 20, 2001 by 20th Century Fox, Freddy Got Fingered was critically panned at the time of its release, with many considering it as one of the worst films of all time.
As for the film's rating, it carries a PG-13 rating, indicating that it may not be as grisly as some might expect from a horror movie based on a popular video game. However, it's important to note that the horror elements in 'Five Nights at Freddy's' are not to be taken lightly.
As a spirit, he takes his revenge on the teenagers by haunting their dreams; he is particularly obsessed with Nancy Holbrook (Rooney Mara), who had been his "favorite" when she was a child. Krueger's power comes from his prey's memories and emotions upon remembering the abuse they suffered at his hands.
Five Nights at Freddy's is rated PG-13; however, rumors have been circulating online amongst the FNAF fan base that an R-rated cut of the movie might follow.
That said, there are plentiful cheap music-sting jump scares and a few gruesome bits of junior-level gore. Violence-wise, this is a harder PG-13 than your average superhero movie, which will probably only entice its younger YouTube-versed fans even more.
