The Rule of Jenny Pen isn't really the scariest horror film, and it doesn't really need to be. Modern horror doesn't have to be "scary" anymore to be good, that's obvious by now. But it is terrifying in an extraordinarily disquieting "I never, ever want to experience anything like this in my life ever" way. A guy who wears a doll on his hand torments old people? Ohh hell no.
