Bad Ben (TV Movie 2016)

Bad Ben: Directed by Nigel Bach. With Nigel Bach. A man realizes something sinister lives inside his new home.

“Honestly, Im not quite sure how to score this film..u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBad 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 canu0026#39;t work out why. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eDespite the low/non-existent budget it is shot fairly competently and doesnu0026#39;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 Bachu0026#39;s character Tom Riley was very amusing in the way he went from mildly irritated to outright angry at the ghostu0026#39;s refusal to leave his new home. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eLook, Iu0026#39;m not recommending Bad Ben. Part of me wants to but I just canu0026#39;t. But, if youu0026#39;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, thatu0026#39;s right – a trilogy. Good heavens.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIve 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..”
