The Rat is unleashed! Ben hits Blu-ray and DVD this May!


One of the most requested Drive-In flicks ever made finally comes to Blu-ray and DVD as Shout Factory unleashes Ben in a DVD and Blu-ray combo on May 16, 2017.

Starring Lee Montgomery, Joseph Campanella, and Meredith Baxter-Birney, Ben feels like a "kindler and gentler" horror film due to the friendship between Ben and Montgomery's character, but the chills and thrills are still there, especially in the finale, when Ben and his forces go up against the police in a do or die battle!

The "very satisfying sequel to the classic Willard" (The Terror Trap)

"A lot of fun to watch" – TV Guide

Ben is back!

When detective sergeant Cliff Kirtland (Joseph Campanella, Meteor) investigates the horrifying murder of Willard Stiles by a band of rats, he discovers that the rats are now an organized army, and he must destroy the murderous rodents before it is too late. But the rats, led by Ben, the only survivor of the Willard attack, take to the challenge with full force and little fear.

With an Oscar nominated theme song that hit number one on the music charts("Ben's Song", performed by Michael Jackson), Ben "presents some genuinely creepy scenes… [and] manages to deliver the goods expected of the genre while getting the audience all misty-eyed…" (TV Guide). Put your feet up – way up – and watch: Ben is an absolute must for everyone who likes a good scare!


Pre-orders are now live for Ben at https://www.shoutfactory.com/film/film-horror/ben and at online retailers. Orders made on the Shout Factory website get their order shipped two weeks early.

who would want to watch this again? who would want to put themselves through the pain of watching this movie again? this movie is crap. it's so boring, slow moving, and nothing to offer. who is it for? it's not for adults because the movie just focuses on the relationship of a kid and his rat. i don't think it's a kid's movie. and half the movie is showing sick rats. how interesting is that?
