Benny Loves You

REVIEW - BENNY LOVES YOU

British made film for you here which is just simply insane but insane in a good way.

A loser decides to turn his life around and following the advice of a self help cassette tape (remember those?) throws away his teddy called Benny.

Now apparently something that you have loved for many years can absorb the love so when you get older and throw it away it can come to life, in this case killing anyone who gets too close to his owner.

Love this film for the sheer sillyness of the story, the special FX but most of all, well see how many other films you spot during the film.

An insane hoot of a film to waste your time on, especially at the moment when there isn't much else being released.

Rating 6 out of 10.

And that one ingredient is decent acting...such a shame.

Everything else is on point. The film looks and sounds great, with some clever special effects. But my god, the acting is terrible...EVERY SINGLE CAST MEMBER SUCKED! Are they all friends/family?

The acting was on par with those one-off 'viewer-submitted' comedy shows you get on E4 after midnight. As a result, it feels more like you're watching a sitcom pilot with a weirdly substantial budget.

The film tries to mimic more successful British films...stealing aspects from a number of flicks from recent years...and subsequently, comes across 'too British'!

I can't say I'd recommend it, but it's nowhere near the worst film out at the moment.

I'm not a fan of the campy horror genre in general, but Benny didn't illicit any laughs or scares for me. Benny mixes Chucky and Elmo, but doesn't come up with a good result.

It was like a purposely bad 80's film but in HD, couldn't finish it.

Not the worst thing in the world but certainly flawed. I get the feeling the writer/director took a lot of cues from the Cornetto trilogy and Spaced, which are right up my alley, but couldn't quite execute them properly. The acting got pretty bad at times but that isn't necessarily enough to ruin a movie of this genre. The effects were....fine, taking into account the low budget, but also remember a cgi stuffed animal isn't exactly mind-blowing in this day and age. Some may get a kick out of this, but all the 10/10's? If you genuinely believe this is a perfect movie I feel sorry for you.
