‘Benny Loves You’ Trailer: A Stuffed Animal Turns Deadly in This Horror Comedy

Horror movies have a long, time-honored tradition of killer dolls. Chucky is arguably the most famous, but the list goes on and on, from Talking Tina on The Twilight Zone, to the Zuni Doll in Trilogy of Terror, to the ventriloquist dummies of Dead Silence, and beyond. Now we can add Benny to the list. In Benny Loves You, a childhood stuffed animal comes to life and starts looking to kill, with pretty amusing-looking results. In the film, “Jack (Karl Holt), a man desperate to improve his life throws away his beloved childhood plush, Benny.” That turns out to be a big mistake. Watch the Benny Loves You trailer below.

Benny Loves You Trailer

Horror comedy is a very tricky subgenre to pull off. Most of the time, horror comedies fail because they lean too heavily into the “comedy” side and forget to embrace the horror. The most successful horror comedies – An American Werewolf in London, Shaun of the Dead, etc. – strike just the right balance, embracing both scares and laughs. Will Benny Loves You end up succeeding where so many other horror comedies before them? I don’t know, but I have to admit I love this trailer. The imagery of Benny the doll running around out for blood is just too funny to ignore.

In Benny Loves You, “After the accidental death of his parents, Jack’s comfortable lifestyle comes to an end and he must sell his family home. Desperate to improve his life, Jack throws out his childhood belongings including his beloved plush, Benny. It’s a move that has disastrous consequences when Benny springs to life with deadly intentions!”

I don’t know if this is all going to add up to a good movie, but I do think the very sight of Benny the goofy-looking killer doll will be enough to entertain more than a few people (like me). At the very least, this is a well-cut trailer that does a great job selling what kind of movie this is. Good work, Benny Loves You. You’ve sold me on watching this. Written and directed by Karl Holt, Benny Loves You stars Karl Holt, Claire Cartwright, and George Collie. The horror-comedy is coming to select theaters on May 7. After that, it’ll head to On Demand on May 11. And then, finally, it arrives on Blu-ray starting June 8. In addition to the trailer above you can check out a poster below.

‘Fear Street’ Spoiler Review: Netflix’s Horror Trilogy Mines Nostalgia While Looking to the Future

Netflix’s Fear Street trilogy, a three-week spree of crimes against innocent Shadysiders, ended on Friday. It’s possibly the biggest slasher-movie event since the 2018 Halloween broke box-office records for its franchise and production company. There have been other slasher flicks since then; the bloody body-swap Freaky comes to mind as one genre torch-bearer, seen mostly on VOD late last year. However, with its staggered release pattern — instant summer sequels, now available to stream! — Fear Street has built up a sustained momentum this month that goes unmatched by other recent entries in the genre. We took a non-spoiler look at all three Fear Street films as they launched: Part One: 1994 on July 2, Part Two: 1978 on July 9, and Part Three: 1666 on July 16. Now, as the dust settles in the town of Shadyside, we’re ready to dive into the deep end with a spoiler-filled look at the plot twists, character deaths, and buried themes of the whole decade-hopping trilogy.

Yes, ‘Eternals’ Will Explain Why These Superheroes Didn’t Help Out During ‘Avengers: Endgame’

Eternals may become the latest example of the many balancing acts that any shared universe will inevitably be asked to navigate. After all, constructing a timeline with a lived-in sense of history must stand up to scrutiny. While fans should generally approach movies with the benefit of the doubt (these are, after all, fictional works made up by human beings rather than an actual historical retelling), creators tend to obsess over these sorts of details. That’s why Marvel producers Nate Moore and Kevin Feige offer reassurances that there’s a very good canonical reason the Eternals didn’t bother showing up to help Captain America fight Thanos. Entertainment Weekly has the lowdown on all aspects of Eternals , from director Chloe Zhao’s influences to introductions for each of the main heroes. There’s also an interesting nugget included in the cover story about the movie’s place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Described as “…largely a standalone story, focusing specifically on th
