On behalf of IFC Films and Shudder, we have the new trailer and poster for the twisted psychological horror film THE RULE OF JENNY PEN.


Arrogant Judge Stefan Mortensen (Rush) 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 (Lithgow) 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) from a screenplay by Ashcroft and Eli Kent, the film stars John Lithgow and Geoffrey Rush and is Executive Produced by Ashcroft, Kent, Lithgow, Rush, Emily Gotto, Nicholas Lazo, and Samuel Zimmerman.


THE RULE OF JENNY PEN arrives in theaters Friday, March 7th.
