Notes

My quick rating - 6,5/10. This movie is so much fun to watch. There is no denying how they made sure to have a sadistic killer doll be so damn cute and funny to distract you from its murderous tendencies. Brilliantly done that all three of us were cracking up the entire flick. When a little Elmo looking doll is given to young Jack (of course) it becomes his best friend forever. But when he grows older and decides he doesn't need him anymore, well, poor Benny is a bit jealous and will need to slaughter anyone who vies for Jacks love. The effects are beyond practical for sure which adds to the enjoyment. The acting is very deadpan which helps the comedic timing a bit. The ever present romance is handled in an "oh, it is a trope so we have to have one" manner so in other words, it is also part of the joke. Very much a diamond in the rough. After viewing, don't be surprised if the lines are stuck in your head for days. Out of the blue, you will be saying "Benny Loves You" and giggling with a butcher knife in your hand :)
