The Rule Of Jenny Pen Is A Haunting Film For Fans Of David Lynch
A horror film that turns an assisted living facility into a playground for a monstrous bully, The Rule of Jenny Pen is a harsh (and occasionally hilarious) psychological horror starring Geoffrey Rush and a truly unsettling John Lithgow. Lithgow’s cruel Dave Crealy increasingly torturing Rush’s Stefan is dark subject matter enough, but as the film explores first signs of a fading mind from Stefan’s perspective it takes on a more existential and tragic element. It’s a surreal and grounded horror film that turns a remote old folks home into a prison that will make any fan of David Lynch happy.
