The Crescent Moon Clown

I thought Jacqui Baker was bad in Badder Ben. Jhetta Tionne Anderson is even worse. Hello... Hello. Hello hello... HELLO. HELLO. Hello. I don't blame Jhetta at all, I totally blame Nigel Bach. I love ya Nigel but damn give the girl some direction. This movie is poorly written and poorly directed and really horribly acted. Definitely the worst of the Bad Ben series. With Badder Ben being the 2nd worst.

No, seriously. The first movies are fun. It's adorable to watch a middle aged man argue with a haunted house. This is just frustrating. This girl has three lines. "Hello?" "I should call the police." *screaming* I've watched a lot of bad scary movies, but this is the first one that was genuinely upsetting in its badness. I not only want my time back, I feel like I should be compensated for sitting through it.

This movie is the second worst of the bad Ben series I've watched so far, with this being the sixth one I've watched, and the second movie being the worst, however, the ending of this movie when Mr Tom Riley played by the wonderful Nigel Bach makes his appearance and executes his plan, brings this movie to be watchable just to see Tom play Nigel. I laughed out loud at Nigel's plan and execution, and for a few minutes. The movies that Tom Riley are in as far as the bad ben series, they work, his personality and attitude are what makes the bad Ben series watchable.

Clearly this movie must be a spoof to something else. I've never seen a bad Ben film, and after this comical trash, I never will. This was supposed to be a suspense/horror movie, but all I could do was laugh at how bad the only actor's acting was. She did everything a black woman wouldn't do, except at the end. I decided to clean the kitchen because this was so bad, and all I could hear every few minutes was "hello" and "I'm gonna call the cops." If you're looking for a good laugh, this is the film for you.

Most other reviews contain the word "hello?" That's pretty accurate. This poor girl needs to find a different career path because, acting ain't it. Hello? Talking to herself and clomping around the house pretty much sums it up. The last few minutes are gold though.

Let's be honest, the Bad Ben series is only good when Nigel himself is actually in the movies. If you want to watch a woman wander around saying "hello?" every 5 seconds, then this is the movie for you. However, if you want to actually be entertained, skip ahead to the last five minutes when Nigel finally shows up and saves this movie from being a complete disaster.

I've never laughed so dam hard. This movie is art from start to finish. Every time Renee says "hello?" I cried. And the ending is perfection.

First of all why has no one changed or gotten rid of the furniture? That damn swiffer has been in the kitchen since the start... Where to even start....she sees blood all over her house,does nothing...she sees randoms dolls moving around the house,does nothing...sees a damn clown in her yard,does nothing....and where is her family? Why is she there alone on the first night? I dont get it but yet I watch them all

Okay, the only reason that I gave this movie 2 stars is due to the ending. The last ten minutes were by far the best of the whole joint. The lead character Renee is so oblivious to her surroundings I believe she has problems with her mental faculties. What do you do when you spot a hatchet-wielding clown creeping up your driveway? Why, you scream "Go away or I'll call the cops!" Despite Renee espousing this mantra several times, she fails to follow through, even though every time she walks past a door leading to the outside, it is mysteriously open. Instead of the expected dialing of 911, she merely closes, locks and saunters away from said door. She also apparently cannot perceive light as on multiple occasions the lights in the adjoining room (which should be easily perceptible) or even the room that she is currently occupying turn on or off to no visible reflection. To her credit, when I found "Hello" proudly spelled out in blood on the kitchen floor, I would have high-tailed it out one of the open doors galore. She courageously sticks it out to the finale. Be on the look-out for her glorious use of a baseball bat, she sets that bad boy (no pun intended, Ben) on the bedroom loveseat with grace and aplomb. There are too many more examples to mention. Do yourself a solid and fast forward to the near end, you will thank me later.
