Ben is a haunting exploration of trauma and the fragility of the human mind. The film dives deep into the psyche of a teenage boy grappling with the aftermath of his mother's tragic death. It's not your run-of-the-mill coming-of-age story; instead, it crafts a raw atmosphere laden with tension and despair. The pacing can feel uneven at times, reflecting the chaotic nature of Ben's emotions. The performances, especially from the lead, pack a punch—there's a genuine weight to his struggle. Practical effects are minimal yet effective, which adds to the film's grounded feel. It’s one of those films that lingers in your thoughts long after the credits roll, with themes of isolation and the quest for sanity echoing in the background.
