Projected Figures

...a madcap, mercurial mess of tonal inconsistencies and misjudged gags - but as a mash-up of clashing styles delivered with energetic brio, it might just make Marinopoulos' name.

Film Threat

Kill Ben Lyk manages to be entertaining and inconsequential in equal measures. Give it a shot.

Rated: 6/10

Movie Nation

An unsophisticated, ribald and trigger-happy "Knives Out" for those who like their whodunits with a tad more spice, bloodshed and profanity.

Rated: 2.5/4

Shadows on the Wall

The movie feels very, very thin indeed, especially as it repeats some of its better gags, like killing characters off accidentally. But the genre mashup is inventive, and the general atmosphere is funny enough to make this a cult hit.

Rated: 3/5

Starburst

Kill Ben Lyk is a passable British comedy which blends together a few genres and ideas to decent effect.

Kill Ben Lyk offers a great dose of gnarly fun and ends on a punchline for the ages.

Just cringe throughout, from the script to the dire acting. Everything is so amateurish.

This film is imitation Guy Ritchie, and that is not the most sincere form of flattery. Imagine if Tarantino remade Agatha Christie's "And Then There Were None", but he was not allowed to use racial slurs. However, I'm confident that this movie will find a receptive genre audience. Kill Ben Lyk is not a bad film, it is just not very good. It does not have the self confidence of a truly bad movie nor is the dialogue clever enough to rescue the plot from mediocrity. I cannot recommend this film.

83% from reviewers? I gave it a shot. Complete load of garbage. Best bit was that it was less than 80 minutrs long.

Utter garbage, badly acted by unknowns, looked low budget. Some mildly funny moments but absolute drivel
