Do baby dolls give you the creeps? What about puppets? How about a puppet baby doll, wielded by an ominous John Lithgow? In that case, IFC and Shudder have the film for you. Check out the trailer for the upcoming feature The Rule of Jenny Pen below.

Here’s the full synopsis of the film from IFC:

“Arrogant Judge Stefan Mortensen (Geoffrey 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 (John 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.”

The Rule of Jenny Pen stars John Lithgow and Geoffrey Rush. The film comes from director James Ashcroft, who also co-wrote the script with Eli Kent. It originally premiered at Fantastic Fest.
