Editor’s note: A brief editor’s note on The Rule of Jenny Pen (2025): Firmly a Horror, Thriller piece, but with a personal touch. With James Ashcroft at the helm, the film feels purposeful and well-paced. Geoffrey Rush, John Lithgow, George Henare anchor the film with grounded, unshowy work. At 1h 44m, it moves with a measured pace and rarely overstays a scene. Reception is mixed; it works best if you’re in the mood for its specific tone. Put it on your list—especially if you’re after mood and texture.
