Exclusive Look at ‘The Rule of Jenny Pen’: Stephen King-Approved Puppet Horror Revealed

by

As a seasoned gamer and horror movie enthusiast who has spent countless nights huddled under blankets, peering into the eerie glow of my television screen, I must say that ‘The Rule of Jenny Pen’ has piqued my interest. The haunting image of the bald baby doll with glowing eyes is a chilling reminder of the twisted creations that have kept me up at night.

In 2024, the horror film ‘The Jenny Pen Rule’ will be released, directed by James Ashcroft and inspired by a short story penned by Owen Marshall. The movie features Geoffrey Rush as Judge Stefan Mortensen, who experiences a stroke and is compelled to reside in a nursing home. There, he encounters chilling events orchestrated by the character portrayed by John Lithgow, Dave Crealy.

In this movie, Crealy employs a doll named Jenny Pen to upset the residents. When Mortensen’s objections are disregarded, he takes it upon himself to put an end to Crealy’s inhumane actions. The film boasts a robust ensemble cast, with Nathaniel Lees, Thomas Sainbury, and Ian Mune among its members.

The film had its initial screening at Fantastic Fest on September 19, while its Shudder debut is scheduled for a later date in 2025.

As a die-hard fan, I was thrilled when ScreenRant unveiled an extraordinary, never-before-seen snap from the upcoming film! This tantalizing peek showcases a captivating puppet – a bald, luminous-eyed baby doll that’s sure to steal hearts.

In the forthcoming movie, a sinister puppet takes center stage, yet it delves into more profound subjects, notably aging. One of these themes revolves around older gentlemen grappling with relinquishing their youth. The characters portrayed by John Lithgow and Geoffrey Rush, respectively, embody this struggle in distinct ways: Lithgow’s character transforms playfulness into something ominous, while Rush’s character maintains a stubborn belief that he will recover and resume work.

As a devoted fan, I can’t help but notice how Stefan Mortensen (Rush) struggles to express his fear to the staff at the retirement home, who seemingly disregard his apprehensions as mere signs of mental deterioration. This team seems oblivious to both his grievances and Dave Crealy’s peculiar behavior, refusing to acknowledge the truth behind the ordeal unfolding before them.

As a passionate gamer, I couldn’t help but share my excitement after Stephen King himself praised “The Rule of Jenny Pen” as “one of the finest films I’ve watched this year” on social media! If you haven’t heard yet, be sure to mark your calendars for its premiere on Shudder. This is one movie you won’t want to miss!
