Lack of good storyline.

Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Blistering performances.

It's OK, far from great, but far from terrible. I've definitely seen worse... You know... Like the other two...

Honestly, Im not quite sure how to score this film..Bad Ben is a very low budget film starring one man, Nigel Bach, who appears to also be the director and bizarrely, it seems the entire film is shot in his actual house. Its a found footage film. Its a Paranormal Activity style scary film. Seriously, everything about Bad Ben sounds, well...bad. But here is the thing - Bad Ben was oddly entertaining and held my attention for the entire duration and I still can't work out why. Despite the low/non-existent budget it is shot fairly competently and doesn't suffer from the poor cinematography and terrible lightning that a lot of the low budget horror flicks I have subjected myself to over the years often do. The acting is okay, sort of, and Nigel Bach's character Tom Riley was very amusing in the way he went from mildly irritated to outright angry at the ghost's refusal to leave his new home. Look, I'm not recommending Bad Ben. Part of me wants to but I just can't. But, if you're curious and want to get in on a potentially cult movie from the ground floor then, well, give it a go I guess. And if you like it, I hear this is the first in a trilogy. Yes, that's right - a trilogy. Good heavens.Ive scored it a 3, but could quite easily score it higher. And some would possibly score it much, much higher and in a way I can kinda see why..

What do you expect when you get a ......................... 3004 budget for a movie.Its one of those awful hand-held camera movie, where nothing happens and it kinds of feels like a reality show only worst with bad camera angles, and more.Nothing happens, with that budget is covers the cost of what, no CGI so i guess that is good but for the rest nada.Stand clear of this one and don't believe all the fake review written by people saying its a must to see, horror fan see this movie and more.No don't watch this movie and don't encourage people who participate in awful project like this instead of getting a decent funding to produce something good instead of pure garbage like this

I didn't expect much from this. Found footage films are nothing new and can be predictable. The reviews ranged from 'awful' and 'waste of time' to 'cult classic' and 'original and scary'.To begin, the only living character in this film is a pretty normal, if a little ugly, man. Not your young good looking couple or annoying group of teenagers. That in itself makes the film somewhat original. He is a likable character and his actions are both funny and realistic (though at times pretty dumb). I didn't find myself routing for the guy though, I didn't care about him. The film delivers a good handful of jump scares and peep through the fingers moments. The story of Bad Ben is interesting and you definitely want to know more.The film leaves many unanswered questions which are hopefully answered in the prequel.Overall it is a very scary film that I would recommend. I might have been ambitious giving it 10/10 but I rate horrors on scare factor. If I'm scared, It gets a thumbs up.
