After Darker Mints

Penny Dreadful:

A direct-to-DVD film that happens to be on the big screen. Mimi Rodgers plays the world's worst psychiatrist, dragging a girl terrified of cars along on a cross country car trip. Soon, the girl is trapped in the car by a hitchhiker who gets magical powers by keeping a hood over his face. Meanwhile, we are treated to long shots of Mimi Rodger's corpse straining not to blink.


Far as I can remember, well over half the film consists of the girl waking up, getting scared, and going back to sleep. I did get a good laugh when the villain finally opened his mouth, and let his prepubescent voice wreck any specks of menace remaining in the film.

Huh. The killer was a girl. I had no idea.
