Bad Ben: The Way In

I have seen all of the Bad Ben films, and I feel that this review applies to all of them. The Bad Ben series reminds of that one pop song that you know is banal and uninspired yet simultaneously unexplainably enjoyable. If I were asked to critique these films on a seriously analytical level, I would be forced to admit that they aren't "good." However, this is why I think the pop music analogy is appropriate; its purposely accessible and mainstream, and this is why people like it. The Bad Ben films emphasize this self-awareness of genre niche, and this is what appeals to me. All of the films make a good effort of seeming like cheesy horror parodies while effectively adding relatively interesting elements that keep the viewer watching. If you're looking for a really unique and psychological horror film to provide you with captivating, original elements, this is certainly not an appropriate choice. If you're looking for a way to blow an hour and a half watching a movie and you don't want to be completely bored, I would recommend these movies.

This is the third film of this series I have watched and don't get the FIVE star rating. Firstly well done to Bach for getting these films one for verticals money. I think the first Bad Ben was made for 300 dollars and this one for 400 dollars, it goes to show that you can make movies for next to nothing. But the problem with this one was it had way to much comedy elements fir it to be taken seriously. The one point which I did burst out laughing was near the end when he has to call out all the evil forces, watch the jar filled with voodoo dolls. This started out really well but went down hill fast as the film went on. Only watch this one if your a fan of the Bad Ben films.

I mean it's the same movie but you do seem to enjoy it. And hey it was fun, silly but fun. The thing you did with the ashes did get me to laugh. I was expecting some sort of smoke monster from LOST special effect but what you did was so much better. You know what screw it I think I'm a fan. I have no idea how that happened but I think I'm unironically a fan. There was that scene where it sounds like you've already set up a sequel so heck you do you man. Keep cranking them out.

Nigel Bach you are a true legend. One day while scrolling through amazon prime I came across a movie called Bad Ben. Little did I know that movie and its many continuations would become my favorite subject of conversation and reference. You have become my hero and I hope one day to meet you, you have managed to make me cry, laugh, and scream at the exact same time nonetheless. I have always wondered what it would be like to make a movie and you have shown me that anything is possible and I should follow my dreams. This movie is my favorite by far and I hope to see more from you. Sincerely, your greatest fan!!

I've been a fan of the Bad Ben series since the first movie came out - it was a true low-budget horror classic. I honestly didn't think Nigel Bach could keep making these movies interesting AND scary but he has done it again. Bad Ben: The Way In is one of the best in the series. I love that Tom Riley is back in the house (because he really needs the money) and is dealing with all our favorite ghosts - the little girl dolls, the vudu dolls, and that darn clown. There were some humorous moments and a couple of times when he really scared me out of my chair. I won't put any spoilers in here but the ending was my favorite of all the Bad Ben movies. Tom Riley/Niegel Bach is the best!!!
