Shudder and Vertigo Releasing have confirmed that twisted thriller The Rule of Jenny Pen will be released in UK and Ireland cinemas from 14th March 2025.
Arrogant Judge Stefan Mortensen (Rush) suffers a near-fatal stroke, leaving him partially paralysed 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 (Lithgow) who secretly terrorises 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.
The Rule of Jenny Pen is directed by James Ashcroft (Coming Home in the Dark) and has played at Sitges Film Festival and Fantastic Fest, where it won Best Actor (Geoffrey Rush) and Best Director (James Ashcroft)
The Rule of Jenny Pen is in UK and Ireland cinemas 14 March from Vertigo Releasing. IFC Films and Shudder released the film in the US on 7th March 2025.
