Join us for an Off the CUFF screening of the New Zealand horror film THE RULE OF JENNY PEN.

ABOUT THE FILM – THE RULE OF JENNY PEN

Stefan Mortensen, a misanthropic judge nearing the end of his career, suffers a stroke in the middle of a courtroom, forcing him into a nursing home. There, he encounters Dave Crealy, a long-time patient who deviously terrorizes the other residents using his doll, Jenny Pen, as the executor of his tyranny and a tool of torture. A showdown follows between the two men, escalating into violence and horror that will either lead to victory, or death.
