Horror master Stephen King has high praise for a new, dark thriller coming to Shudder.
“I watched one of the best movies I’ve seen this year. It’s called THE RULE OF JENNY PEN, and I urge you to watch it when it appears on Shudder,” King wrote onTwitter. “Geoffrey Rush stars, with John Lithgow as a geriatric psychopath with an evil hand puppet.”
This is far from the first time that King has taken to his Twitter to praise a film. “REBEL RIDGE: If this is a Netflix original, it’s one of the best. A thinking man’s RAMBO. No diss to David Morrell,“he wrote recently.
He’s also shared praise for Strange Darling, a horror movie starring Kyle Gallner and Willa Fitzgerald. “I got an advance screener of STRANGE DARLING, and it’s really terrific,” King said. “I’ll try to attach the trailer here, because it’s also a clever masterpiece. Can’t say more; watch the film and you’ll understand what the trailer is up to.”
