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. Go to Full Review Steve Dread Central 11/19/2006

Somewhere in here there is a great flick hiding. However as is, it's dreadfully too long. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Melissa L @Agent99 2d I cannot believe Mimi Rogers was in this movie. It started out okay, but then it deteriorated. I hated the ending, too. It seems to take forever for the movie to end, and the audience is hoping something will happen, and when it does, it's quite a letdown. See more @jeroduptown 02/08/2022 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. See more 11/12/2019 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. See more 12/05/2018 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. See more 11/29/2018 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. See more 08/13/2015 Rachel Miner whines and snivels, and the scares are few and far between. See more Read all reviews
