Ben D Ink is an indie film near and dear to my heart, which we discuss as “Shed Selection #3” on the podcast. An interdimensional story on a small budget, Ink concerns itself with the powers of good (“Storytellers”) and evil (“Incubi”) that engage in the battle for our dreams. John (Christopher Soren Kelly) is a distracted, corporate, absentee father to Emma (Quinn Hunchar), whose conscious has been kidnapped in the middle of the night by a grotesque “Drifter” named Ink. The story is sliced into tripartite lines that all revolve around saving the life of a little girl. The style of the Storytellers are “boom-stomp-clap” chic (very late-2000s-early 2010s, very Denver, where the movie takes place) while the Incubi mix the mewling stretch of a butcher’s latex apron (a la Hostel) with screens affixed to their heads like a precursor to a COVID face shield. Don’t let this description fool you, the Incubi are iconic and the effect of their smiling faces is freaky and fun. Most notable, however, is the unbelievable soundtrack. Ink’s score should be a staple to any study/writing/playlist wherein you only need instrumentals to complete a task. It doesn’t always have the greatest color palate and some of the acting/dialogue could be improved (and there may be a pretty unnecessary plothole…), but overall Ink is an entertaining and affecting movie that spread throughout the early 2010s by word of mouth. I always love sharing it with friends.

With higher production qualities it could have probably been one of the best movies ever, but still solid I got used to the low budget look. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/12/24 Full Review Patty A I don't buy many movies but I did buy this one. It's one of those movies you can watch occasionally and still enjoy. I like to watch it when I'm alone. I originally had this movie on for background noise but it drew me in. Some parts are cheesy, but if you are able to get past that and give the movie a chance, you will love it. The little girl is adorable. And it would be cool if I had angels fighting for me like that! The plot is amazing and worth waiting for. Very thought provoking like many others have said and it leaves you with that "Wow" moment. Don't let the 1 star reviews deter you. Give it a chance. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/18/24 Full Review D. M One of my favorite indie films. The characters are all charming and have that factor that makes you want to know more about them. I originally selected a random Netlix movie to use as background noise while I was doing some work, but I was quickly drawn into a beautifully deep story about family, lose and redemption. This film should be a blueprint on how to do more with a small budget. I only have two dozen or so dvds, and Ink is one of them. Highly recommend. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/19/24 Full Review Marshal T This movie is extremely deep, thought provoking, and intense. It will leave you thinking hard for a while, and it will awaken a new perspective for life. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/18/24 Full Review Read all reviews
