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.

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.

5/5

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.

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]

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.

SPOILER ALERT: The Dog dies, automatic half star just for that reason alone. I give any movie where the dog dies an automatic half star unless it's in a sad emotional way based on a real film like Hachi or Marley and Me, but this is not that case, the dog dies in a gruesome way and they try to play it like it's funny, it was not funny.

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!

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,
