Well so many were hoping for the FNaF Movie to be Rated R I already had a feeling it would get either a 14+ rating (Which seems like it is treated like it no longer exists) or PG13 which ended up being the rating it got.
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.
The MPAA has given Five Nights at Freddy's a PG-13 rating, citing “strong violent content, bloody images, and language.” These elements might seem par for the course when it comes to horror movies but they actually make it slightly more difficult for some of the game's biggest fans to see the film.
The movie is officially rated PG-13 for strong violent content and bloody images. I'm perfectly fine with the pg-13. It makes sense for it to be pg-13 given the game series' fanbase are not all adults and the games themselves.....not one drop of blood iirc. Not all horror movies require an R rating anyway.
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.
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.
In fact, it looks as though they may not have even filmed much darker, more violent footage. So, sorry Five Nights at Freddy's fans — a darker director's cut may not even be possible. “Going into production we knew that we wanted to really stick [to] a PG-13 rating for this movie,” Tammi told GamesRadar+.
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.
A lot of the violence is depicted off-screen, but with occasional gory aftermath and without shying away from showing blood. Man gets his face eaten by a character, aftermath is later shown. A character gets killed offscreen. A man gets cut multiple times in one scene only blood.
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.
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.
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.
Director and co-writer Emma Tammi recently dispelled persistent internet rumors concerning a gorier version of the video game adaptation (now playing in theaters everywhere and streaming exclusively on Peacock), which nabbed an official PG-13 rating for "strong violent content, bloody images and language." That's ...
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.

It manages to blend family-friendly elements with spine-tingling scares, making it suitable for older kids and teenagers, especially those who are fans of the franchise. However, it's important to be aware that the film does contain moderate violence and gore, making it a true PG-13 horror experience.
Universal ended up releasing an unrated version on Peacock after its initial release. 'Five Nights at Freddy's' opens on 27 October in cinemas and on Peacock from Universal Pictures.
