Ben Kingston

Ben Kingston is the antagonist of Unknown.

Ben appears to enjoy toying with people before murdering them; it seems like he has no grasp on reality since the things he says doesn't seem creepy to him at all, although it sounds incredibly odd and creepy to everyone else.

Story
7 years before the events of the short film, Ben went missing for unknown reasons.

Ben sends a bunch of odd texts to his old friend Tara Montgomery; asking her to meet him at a specific location. After a while Tara figures out that it is Ben who is texting her, and she goes to meet him immediately.

When Ben shows up at their meeting spot; Tara is recording herself and taking pictures, so while her back is turned to him; he slowly walks up to her and then murders her. He then records her dead body and writes out a caption that reads "She's so pretty." He then deletes all their texts to each other and her Snaps from that night.

Behind the Scenes

 * Ben was originally supposed to be a demon, but this was cut, because the writers thought that a supernatural element would make the story less frightening.
 * Originally, Ben was supposed to be called 'Bill' and have no known last name, but this was scrapped for unknown reasons. The name 'Spencer' was also mildy considered.
 * At the beginning of development, Ben and Tara were not supposed to know each other, but this was added in order to justify why Tara decided to meet up with him.
