  *puts people who don't like Bad Ben in the garbage*

  I'm sorry, that's just the day and age we live in.

  Review by Naughty aka Juli Norwood ★★★★★ 6

  I loved this Micro Indie found footage film, it only cost the filmmaker an estimated 300 bucks to film it compared to its rival Paranormal Activity whom dished out 15,000! But this has something that Paranormal Activity doesn't have.. a loveable, crotchety, foul mouthed, old coot from Jersey whom wasn't about to take any grief from anyone alive or dead! As a future cane waving, get off my lawn, old fart in training I got a real kick out of Nigel Bach in his role as Tom Riley the house flipper with big brass ones! ;-)

  Nigel Bach is the writer, director, producer and the only actor in this one man show and I gotta hand it to him I was amazed by what he was able to bring to the table with such a meager budget and yet pull off something that in my opinion is.. dare I say it.. better than Paranormal Activity!

  Review by Tony the Terror ★★★½ 8

  Been meaning to watch this forever! I don’t even remember how I first heard about it but eventually all the sequels started coming out and Evan mentioned another one being released and my Obsessive Sequel Disorder compelled me.

  Basically I loved it. It think my husband put it best when he said “well I liked it a whole lot more than most of the zero budget garbage you make me sit through” so there you go. And who doesn’t love a found footage movie that’s mostly just a grumpy “grr you kids get off my lawn” middle aged man wandering around a beautiful house with the ugliest furniture while cursing like a sailor at everything EVERYTHING.

  There’s also one goddamn exquisitely done scare that I sure as shit did not expect so points for that.

  Review by Joel Haver ★★★★ 6

  This was presented to me as a bad movie, but if I’m being honest it’s pretty dang good. The editing is slow but in a way that feels deliberately paced. The scares are subtle, but leave room for some bigger moments to surprise you when they come. Nigel smartly casts himself as a loud mouthed, fed up middle aged guy who doesn’t understand technology, which is not only believable, but a fun new foil to watch go to battle with spirits. That level of self awareness is a far cry from the Tommy Wiseau’s and Neil Breen’s of this world. I’ve watched and loved many no budget movies, and this one is no different. Nothing but love and respect to anyone who just makes a movie themselves. I can’t speak for the now ten-movie-deep Bad Benniverse that has spawned from this, but this first one is simple and great.

  Review by Kaijuman ★★★★

  I aspire to be as nonchalant and headstrong as the main character.

  Ghosts keep messing with him and he just tells them to fuck off. Dudes a middle-aged chad.

  Ending legit got me too.

  Review by Dan Scully 2

  There's no way to review this but believe me when I say that my respect for the writer/director/star is through the roof. Dude made a paranormal activity knockoff all by himself. Literally. A middle aged dude who gets pissy at ghosts is the ONLY person in the movie. I'm not sure if he's being serious about it or if he's going for comedy. I can't tell. It's one of the funniest movies I've ever seen and it's actually pretty competent and effective at points. I don't know what the goal was here. I'm confounded, but damnit I was cheesing my fat tits off the whole time. Apparently it only cost $300 to make. 

  I will absolutely be watching this again before my Amazon Prime free trial expires.

  My sister refused to watch Paddington with me cause the poster gave her "bad vibes" but was fully willing to force me into watching this. I don't even have any words.
