Review of Ben

Ben (1972)
5/10
A story of friendship between a boy and a rat.
6 December 2020
After Willard's death, the rats are on their own fighting for survival in the city. They are being chased by a grizzled detective. In the meantime, Ben befriends a lonely sick boy(Danny). (I have to give kudos for the director and writer for creating a character with a Congenital Heart Defect)

The friendship between Ben and Danny is nice and enduring. Danny shows Ben there is a light in a dark world (a sharp contrast from Willard). Though Danny's blind faith in Ben was troubling.

This is a low budget movie which results in some of the special effects coming across as a little cartoony.

However, It's a good continuation of the Willard storyline.
