John Lithgow and Geoffrey Rush are facing off in a disconcerting new clip from their upcoming horror thriller, The Rule Of Jenny Pen, which sees a misanthropic judge (Rush) confined to an aged care home finds himself set in deadly conflict with its resident tyrant (Lithgow).
Watch it here…
In The Rule of Jenny Pen, arrogant Judge Stefan Mortensen suffers a near-fatal stroke, leaving him partially paralyzed and confined to a retirement home. Resistant to the staff and distant from his friendly roommate, Mortensen soon clashes with seemingly gentle resident Dave Crealy who secretly terrorizes the home with a sadistic game called “The Rule of Jenny Pen” while wielding his dementia doll as an instrument of cruelty. What begins as childish torment quickly escalates into far more sinister and disturbing incidents. When Mortensen’s pleas to the staff go unanswered, he takes it upon himself to put an end to Crealy’s reign of terror.
Directed by James Ashcroft (Coming Home in the Dark) the movie stars John Lithgow (Spellbound), Geoffrey Rush (Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar’s Revenge) and George Henrare (The Legend of Johnny Lingo).
The Rule of Jenny Pen is in UK and Ireland cinemas 14 March from Vertigo Releasing. IFC Films and Shudder will release the film in the US on 7 March.
