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.
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.
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.

After a year of lockdown, we're all on the hunt for the next thing to watch but honestly, do yourself a favour and find something else.
The acting is that bad it's pretty much impossible to enjoy whatever weak story line there's supposed to be, and I've lowered the bar pretty low since lockdown has begun.
I really wanted to like this film as this is totally my genre of choice, but I honestly can't recommend it to anyone. Feels like something your mate would film with an iPhone and upload to YouTube.
Back to searching for something decent to watch... Sigh.
