I remember being a kid and scared of the dark, only going to sleep when I imagined my Batman action figures protecting me (I wasn't a smart kid). So I can definitely relate to the premise of the upcoming horror-comedy BENNY LOVES YOU, about a loving toy that gets scorned by the kid it was sworn to protect and love, and goes psychotic when it's scorned and rejected. Here's the official synopsis:
After the accidental death of his parents, Jack must sell his family home and start a new life. Cleaning out the house, Jack trashes his family belongings including his beloved childhood stuffed animal, Benny. It’s a move that turns deadly as Benny springs to life with one goal in mind, protect Jack at all cost!
Looks fun! I happen to love adult puppet movies (MEET THE FEEBLES especially), so seeing a psychotic pseudo-MUPPET killing people bloodily is right up my alley! Hopefully the film lives up to the trailer.
Meanwhile, BENNY LOVES YOU – directed by Karl Holt and starring Karl Holt, Claire Cartwright, and George Collie – has no official release day, but Raven Banner is handling sales on the film at the ongoing Cannes Virtual market.
So what do you guys think? And what's the creepiest toy you ever owned? Either way, sound off below!
