4. The Mandela Effect (2019)
The Mandela Effect is the fourth movie in the Bad Ben series. This time, Tom is investigating the paranormal activity surrounding a missing child. The movie delves into the idea of parallel universes, and whether the wrong choices we make in life can create alternate realities.
5. The Dare (2020)
The Dare follows a group of friends who play a game of truth or dare inside the Bad Ben house. They soon regret their decision as they’re haunted by the same supernatural force that has been tormenting Tom Riley. This movie is a spin-off of the original Bad Ben.
