| Aisle SeatMike McGranaghanBen is to Willard what Aliens is to Alien. |
| StarburstJohn HigginsBen is more successful [than predecessor Willard], due to sticking to a Them-style monster narrative and actually having some rather atmospheric moments of tension, thus being more effective as a horror movie. |
