Review of Penny Dreadful (2006) by Matt S — 13 Oct 2009

This was like a cross between the movies Wind Chill and Dead End but not nearly as satisfying as both or as well acted though Rachel Miner was an exception and was the most believable. I thought it had a pretty solid beginning introducing us to Penny and how she got the phobia of cars and accidents and things get pretty creepy from here on as Penny finds herself trapped in a car with a deranged killer lurking outside.

I thought the killer was very creepy looking and the atmosphere very spooky but I just don't think that the execution was well played out at all and the ending was just way too abrupt, they could of done a way better job with it because they had a great premise but just didn't do anything intriguing with it.

They took way too much time with her trapped in the car and eventually it became dull after awhile and it dragged the movie's pace and it needed more action. Overall it wasn't dreadfull but not worth your penny either, I'd say skip it!
