Stranded in the remote town of Hayesville, Nevada, a quiet drifter (Cage) agrees to work as a night-shift janitor at Willy's Wonderland, a once-successful family entertainment center, for one night in exchange for car repairs. However, his tasks suddenly become bit harder when the restaurant's eight animatronic characters come to life and try to kill him.
Now, with group of teens who also found their way into the building try teaming up with him, he will be forced to defend himself until the next morning.

* AndThatLittleGirlWasMe: [[spoiler:It’s revealed that the little girl in the opening scene, who witnessed her parents being killed by the animatronics, was Liv.]]

* BadGuysDoTheDirtyWork: [[spoiler:All three of the human collaborators to Willy’s murders are killed by the animatronics themselves. Sheriff Lund gets split in two by Willy himself for [[YouHaveFailedMe failing him]], while Tex and Jed, her two accomplices, are blown up by Siren Sara at the ending.]]
* BewareTheQuietOnes: The Janitor says not a single word the entire film and [[spoiler: pretty much singlehandedly destroys the eight animatronics that have been murdering countless park attendees for decades past.]]

* {{Jawbreaker}}: The Janitor pulls a double King Kong on Arty the Alligator after he's claimed two victims. He pulls his face apart, like in the original 30's film and the 2005 remake, and then rips out its electronic guts, like in Kong: Skull Island.
* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler:[[{{SubvertedTrope}} Subverted.]] Just as it seems Tex and Jed might get away with their involvement in the whole situation, Siren Sara pops up, improvises a Molotov out of Tex’s car, and [[StuffBlowingUp blows the three of them, and possibly the restaurant itself, to kingdom come.]]]]

** That said, [[spoiler: it doesn't stop Lund from actively abusing her, handcuffing her to a radiator with a bag of chips to eat and a bucket to use as a toilet. She might have taken mercy on Liv as a child, but the only thing she genuinely cares about is satiating Willy.]]

* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: How the Janitor kills most of the animatronics. [[spoiler: And Liv manages to escape from Tito Turtle by giving one with the stock of a shotgun, though he (barely) survives.]]

** It’s averted, by the Janitor not having this reaction [[spoiler:either of the two times Lund holds him up at gunpoint.]]

* SerialKiller: The animatronics of course [[spoiler:and the cult of cannibal Satanists they were before their ritual suicide transferred their souls to the animatronics]]. It's eventually revealed [[spoiler: that they regularly left the confines of Willy's Wonderland to kill and eat people before the town's leading citizens made a DealWithTheDevil to provide them with victims in exchange for staying put inside the restaurant.]]

** Liv, regarding the Janitor and the animatronics: [[ComicBook/{{Watchmen}} “He’s not trapped in here with them.]] ''[[ComicBook/{{Watchmen}} They’re]]'' [[ComicBook/{{Watchmen}} trapped in here with]] ''[[ComicBook/{{Watchmen}} him!”]]''

* KillTheParentRaiseTheChild: [[spoiler:While she doesn't physically kill them herself, Sheriff Lund is responsible for the deaths of Liv's parents by sending them to the titular restaurant to be killed by it's animatronic mascots. After her parents are killed, Sheriff Lund adopts and raises Liv as her own daughter]].

** The teens fit this trope to a T. [[spoiler:Knowing the animatronics are alive and murderous, they brought absolutely nothing for self-defense. They actually smoke weed while waiting for Liv, even though they're supposed to be finding an exit for her and the Janitor. They allowed themselves to be distracted listening to the hostile animatronics' little song. The group split up in a dangerous area, exposing greater vulnerability than before. One of them tried to reason with a hostile animatronics without any precautions taken. Worst of the offenders: Kathy and Bob decide to have sex, not just in Willy's Wonderland, but ''specifically in the room where the animatronics killed countless families'']]. Despite being one of the main protagonists, Liv is just about as incompetent as the rest of the teens (though she genuinely does try not to be, and finally manages it by escaping Tito Turtle by herself through a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown with the butt of a shotgun), and PlotArmor is really the only true reason why she survived.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Willy, the head honcho of the animatronics, is also by far the biggest threat between them.

* BunnyEarsLawyer: The Janitor is a very eccentric man with his silent, soda-chugging ways but he does his actual job (cleaning the place) impeccably, and that's without even going in how scarily competent he is in hand-to-hand combat.

* TheConspiracy: [[spoiler:Lund, Tex and Jed are all working together to feed Willy and his accomplices. Lund sabotages the cars of visitors passing by town on the road by leaving out a set of her police roadblock spikes, letting Jed offer to repair them in exchange for working off the payment at Willy's. Tex, the owner of Willy's, locks the new "employees" in.]]

* DwindlingParty: In both sides of the equation: Both Liv's friends and Willy's animatronics start to dwindle in number as the night goes along.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: if you look carefully, in the very first scene of the Janitor, driving in his car, he has a set of dog tags hanging from his rear view mirror. Which helps explain his fighting skills.

* {{Jawbreaker}}: The Janitor pulls a double King Kong on Arty the Alligator, after he's claimed two victims. He pulls his face apart, like in the original 30's film and the 2005 remake, and then rips out its electronic guts, like in Kong: Skull Island.

** The Janitor was about to fight Cammy Chameleon, but he received his alarm for his "break" and he heels it. Cammy was so bemused by the moment she let the Janitor leave for his break and focused on fighting the other prospective victim instead.

* ResurrectedMurderer: It's revealed halfway through that the killer animatronics that the Janitor had been fighting house the souls of eight serial killers that also worked as staff at the titular restaurant, with the Willy animatronic in particular hosting the restaurant's founder, Jerry Robert Willis. Willis and his associates were part of a [[HollywoodSatanism Satanic cult]] in life, and they performed a suicide ritual to tranfer their souls so that they could escape from the authorities.

* SerialKiller: The animatronics of course [[spoiler:and the cult of cannibal satanists they were before their ritual suicide transferred their souls to the animatronics]]. It's eventually revealed [[spoiler: that they regularly left the confines of Willy's Wonderland to kill and eat people before the town's leading citizens made a DealWithTheDevil to provide them with victims in exchange for staying put inside the restaurant.]]

** Sheriff Lund also falls into this. Faced with a victim that isn't merely fighting back, but actually ''winning'' against the monsters that have been keeping her town hostage for years, her reaction is to actually cling to her end of the deal and hold the Janitor at gunpoint. [[spoiler:And then she does it ''again'' at the end of the movie, after he survived her last intervention and Willy is the only animatronic left. Willy rewards her by killing her.]]
* TownWithADarkSecret: Of course the town with demonic animatronics has a dark past. [[spoiler:More specifically involving cannibalistic, satanic serial killers working in a children's restaurant and a pact to keep these serial killers (now reborn as demonic animatronics) from attacking anyone else in the town by keeping them fed with innocent passersby.]]

->''Put your balls on, Evan. We're going to Willy's.''

-->''Birthday fun for everyone at Willy's Wonderlaaaaand.''

* CarFu: [[spoiler:How Tito gets taken out in the final moments of the movie. He managed to escape Willy's Wonderland, but sadly for him, the Janitor encounters him again driving out of town and takes the opportunity to hit him with his car and smash him.]]

* TheConspiracy: [[spoiler:Lund, Tex and Jed are all working together to feed Willy. Lund sabotages the cars of visitors passing by town on the road by leaving out a set of her police roadblock spikes, letting Jed offer to repair them in exchange for working off the payment at Willy's. Tex, the owner of Willy's, locks the new "employees" in.]]

* BadGuysDoTheDirtyWork: [[spoiler:All three of the human collaborators to Willy’s murders are killed by the animatronics themselves. Sherrif Lund is killed by Willy himself while her two accomplices are blown up by Siren Sara at the ending.]]

* DeathBySex: What did you expect? [[spoiler:While high, Kathy and Bob [[MakingLoveInAllTheWrongPlaces have sex in the 'Happy Fun Room']] (where Willis and his crew performed their human sacrifices, and did their final suicidal ritual, no less!) and don't bother to stop when they find Arty the Alligator watching them. With some prompting by Bob, Kathy keeps bouncing away right up until Arty's jaws clamp shut on Bob.]]

* MsFanservice: Virtually everything Kathy does is sexualized. She wears an extremely short skirt and exhibits some cleavage. Not to mention the shot where she climbs the ladder to the roof and it's quite clear she's not wearing underpants. [[spoiler:Strangely, during her DeathBySex scene she's wearing a lacy bra with quite good coverage the whole time.]]
