Critics Consensus

A zany entry into the sentient murder toy genre, Benny Loves You is an enjoyably macabre and clever horror-comedy that will have audiences rooting for its loveable villain.

Benny Loves You is not good. It's simple, stupid, full of grisly gore, and ludicrous gags. Which is to say, it's a pretty good Midnight Movie watch, the kind of thing best appreciated when you're burned out, buzzed, or flat-out high.

Whether it be actual toys or movies about them coming to life and killing people, they don't make 'em like they used to.

Sight & Sound

In this comic killer-doll film, our hero struggles to put away childish things, even as we are left wondering whether it might be Jack's own arrested psyche, rather than a stuffed animal, that is the real deadly danger.

Flick Feast

Successfully walks the tightrope of comedy and horror whilst also providing an emotional core at its heart... outrageously funny and gory horror you wish you could watch with an eager and receptive cinema audience like FrightFest.

Rated: 5/5

A very fun, super dark humor -- so much it's acrid, and violent, biting, fast-paced... the film doesn't take a breath. [Full review in Spanish]

Wonderfully Weird and Horrifying

Benny Loves You is a blast; it's funny and it's disgustingly gory. A horror-comedy treasure with just enough heart, that doesn't take itself too seriously.

This movie is great, the kills are spooky, it’s campy, Benny is funny, and surprisingly emotional? Cause I was tearing up and the end of the movie, but this is a great campy horror movie!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Fun, low-fi horror with great CGI. A fun, off-beat comedy horror. It felt like a very well made amature film but it also had vision,

SkyRo P

"Benny Love You" is a horror film that falls short in delivering the intended scares, with poorly executed character creation and lackluster storytelling. The characters, including the killer doll Benny, appear disjointed and unconvincing, giving the impression of being manipulated like marionettes. The acting, plot, and overall quality of the movie are deemed subpar, with the film failing to engage viewers due to its weak storyline and unimpressive performances. While Benny's appearance stands out as a relatively well-designed aspect of the film, the rest of the characters and their development are criticized for being poorly executed. Ultimately, the movie is deemed terrible, earning only a one-star rating for the slightly better visual design of Benny compared to other horror antagonists. The film's cheesiness and lack of believability contribute to a sense of absurdity, making it a challenging watch that fails to deliver any genuine scares or entertainment value.

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

A good horror movie, basicly combinding Toy Story, Ghostbusters, And Chucky. Or In a another example, it's the scary movie version of Chucky.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars
