Penny Dreadful Movie Review!

This movie is so full of potential, and has a premise so interesting, that it's pretty sad to see how it goes downhill.

The premise is about a young woman who suffers from motorphobia (fear of cars) and is entrapped by a homicidal hitchhiker on such. Hi-jinks ensue.

The visuals are nice, the acting is also well done. The story itself is rather interesting and sometimes it's strange. Some secondary characters appear around the movie solely to further the plot; nothing further.

The ending of the movie is what drives the rating down. It just seems so unnecessary and poorly executed that it makes me cringe at the fact that I liked this movie for the rest.

So in the end, this is a 4 out of 10 (2 stars). It's slightly below average.
