Bad Ben Trailers

Tom Riley thought he was getting the deal of a lifetime when he bought a house below market value at a Sheriff's sale. He invested every penny he had with the plan of flipping the home for a profit. Once he owned it, however, he noticed strange happenings, all of which were captured on 21 Surveillance Cameras located throughout the home inside and out. At first, he thought people were breaking in, but he soon realized he was dealing with something Paranormal.

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

The movie itself isn't bad but it should have been called The Groundhog Day Meets Creepy Doll Movie as it has very little if anything to do with the Mandela effect, It's quite short and worth a watch though.

Nigel is not at all a good director. His acting is at all, just should've had someone else direct. The writing is just "ok". The idea is great for the three films however the acting in the other two are absolutely horrible. I'm guessing they are friends that he owes a favor to. So...... a better writer, a way better director and waaaaaaaay better actors these really would be amazing movies.

Couldn't find any reviews online for this from critics I trusted so thought i'd just give it a go. The story is simple but then it didn't have to be amazing, the acting from Nigel Bach is pretty decent all things considered and he manages to carry the movie along and keep you interested. Also there is some good camera work and a couple of good scares, and an ending which is definitely worth the wait. What lets this movie down though is just how illogical it is at times; mainly down to the fact that Nigel Bach's reactions to his situation in the film are so alien. He only shows even a glimpse of fear at the very end, before this you'd think that the stuff happening to him just happens all the time to everyone. Its not a bad acting performance just a very strange one. I would go on a rant about how the fact that he films more or less everything with his phone is never justified, but this is so often a problem in found footage movies that its not worth going on about; that said it is more illogical in this movie than most as demonstrated in a number of scenes where he is struggling to perform simple day to day tasks cause he's holding the camera phone in his other hand. Additionally there are a few moments which are unintentionally funny, like when he is wandering around the house looking for the source to the strange happenings with a camera phone in one hand and a can of air freshener in the other ready to spray any ghosts who get in his way. Or a scene where he is trying to banish a ghost from his house, shouting angrily at it, while holding a candle stick in one hand and a selfie stick in the other. Overall though this is a pretty decent horror movie and an impressive achievement considering it is made by and starring only one person. And the ending is genuinely creepy...

Found footage has been flogged to death and beyond, one more shaky film inducing a headache is one to many, so my heart sank when we started watching the film. With using stable house cameras thankfully we had the alternative to the hand held camera. The central character is not hugely likable but is watchable, his motive for staying put is all his money is tied up in the house. When he is badly beaten up in his bed even the most hardy would have upped sticks. This has some nice scares and only having the one central character works well to build tension he is obviously a loner and he is by himself to face the demon. Maybe a bit more reveal on what is 'Bad Ben' might have helped, I am reading there is a film out there as a prequel which I am intrigued enough to track down.
