You see, Penny is scared of what might happen in a car 'cause she was once in a bad accident. So this whole film is her trapped in a car with a killer outside... Could be a simple is brilliant kind of concept, but it isn't.

It is a overall funny scary movie. It’s so bad it’s good. There is a few crazy points where you really sit back and think dang she is in a bad situation. It’s one of the 8 scary movie film box set (so far my favorite) however there was only 7 released from what I can see. A decent flick. Not scary but decent film.

Great acting!!! Im not a fan of the vampire, zombie genre, but I really enjoyed it! Filmed entirely in Dublin, the sets and costumes were amazing! The character development was perfect. At times this can be VERY gory and crosses the line with the sexual content. Further more those scenes added very little to the plot but exposes the disturbing minds of the characters. Its worth the binge.

The show was great but it had one major issue, my boy got so preoccupied with staring at the gay sex scenes that he stopped paying attention to me.

Rachel Miner whines and snivels, and the scares are few and far between.

Penny Dreadful is an enjoyable combination of psycho-thriller and slasher horror, which somehow achieves a slick, Hollywood-calibre visual style in spite of its modest budget.

Somewhere in here there is a great flick hiding. However as is, it's dreadfully too long.
