Critic Reviews for Benny Loves You

All Critics (28) | Top Critics (3) | Fresh (22) | Rotten (6)

  • 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.

    Michael Nordine

    Variety

  • 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.

    Sight & Sound

  • Imagining for a second that Benny Loves You had been the first of its kind, it would still be a humorless slog.

    In Review Online

  • The third act loses its dark whimsy, but this no-budget romp can't be contained.

    June 1, 2021 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

    Christian Toto

  • A stuffed toy killing people is pretty funny initially, and Holt's screenplay is generally content to coast on that surface idea. There are only so many times the sight of Benny wielding a weapon is entertaining.
