Synopsis

Daffy undead gal Penny Dreadful, her smitten zombie buddy Ned, and lycanthrope Wolfboy relate three tales of terror in an old rundown movie theater: A young couple find themselves being stalked by a lethal jack-in-the-box in "Slash-in-the-Box;" mousy young lady Alice tries to figure out what exactly happened to her last night in "The Morning After;" and a group of friends encounter an eccentric backwoods family after their van breaks down in the middle of nowhere in "The Slaughter House."

Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.
Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Kerem Gogus Old school type of Horror Anthology with a lot of fun. And this is obviously a (LOT) labor of love with very small budget. I'm fan of Eliza Swenson actually since The Witches Of OZ. I've found this movie while I was looking for an horror anthology and when I saw her name I decided to watch it, I'm glad I did. Since I'm a fan of Eliza Swenson my opinions could biased and totally from my point of view. She is a genius, she ACTS and nails it, she is also producer, writer and MUSICIAN. The other actor I really like is John Wells. I read about him once he suffers from chronic back pains but he builds an amazing body, working harder on his acting career and growing a lovely family. His role in this movie could be a lot longer. Among the three stories my favorite was The Morning After because the theme is something I always enjoy to see on the screen. The last story features Eliza Swenson and it has a nice twist. Even though I hate slasher type of hostage stuff I enjoyed it. The Penny character which was the owner of the old movie theater was very interesting and engaging that I've felt that she should have an entire story (movie) of her own taking place in that old, creepy and super cool movie theater environment. I'd love to see how she turned out the way she is. As I said on my title - this was a true labor of love. Give these people a $150.000.000 budget with 4-5 years to work on one thing and see what they going to come up with. Those extreme negative reviews are totally unfair to the hard work they put to this movie as entire cast & crew. I believe people should drop their prejudices and give this movie a chance. I did and enjoyed it. Not the most amazing or mind-blowing movie in the world maybe but everyone in this orchestra played their instruments at their best. And this is what life is all about, we don't have to be perfect nor the best in the world - we just need to dedicate ourselves to the things we love to do and give it our best. That is what people who worked in this movie did. Maybe that's why a few people really enjoyed this movie, people who can understand this way of living...All other reviewers automatically considering any good comments written about this movie are coming from the cast & crews friends. I have to clean this up before giving my 2 cents about this movie: I don't know anyone from the cast & crew. I'm not their friend, nor even meet them once in my life.As I said, give this movie a chance. It may surprise you like it did to me...
Paul Magne Haakonsen "The Penny Dreadful Picture Show" was essentially a snooze fest wrapped up in an interesting packaging.This is not really a movie as per se, but more something in the likes of "Creep Show" - an anthology of short stories if you will.The opening segment of "Slash in the Box" was just downright embarrassing to watch. The story was non-existent and it was just toe-curling to witness.On to the second segment which is titled "The Morning After", it is a vampire story unlike most others. That being said, then it was lacking conviction, impact and turned out to be just plain.The last segment is titled "The Slaughter House", and that was actually the best of the entire experience. It was a nice treat to have Sid Haig and Jeffrey Combs appear in this segment. This sort of was like a low budget parody on "House of 1000 Corpses", whether intentional or not, I do not know. It wasn't particularly outstanding, but compared to the other two segments, then this was a bright star.What made it actually interesting was the intermissions with Penny and the run down movie theater. There was really a nice feeling to this and a lot of details put into this.The overall experience was less than mediocre. And for an addition to the horror vault, then "The Penny Dreadful Picture Show" was a fairly weak addition.
bigurn01 well i just sat through this god awful movie just don't get the other reviews what are these people on? If the other reviewers really believe that this was a good movie then there are more in need of help than those who put there name on the credits.PLEASE don't waste your time on this low budget poorly acted unimaginative rubbish. People who recommend this sort of dire film have no respect for your time which you will not get back.If your sane AVOID AVOID AVOID. go find some paint and watch it dry......far more entertaining. I gave this movie 2 but think that a little over generous must be getting soft in my old age. To compare this to Elvira is harsh on Elvira they ain't great but they better than this and Elvira got a better rack.
Jesse Boland An anthology of sorts, that really has it's great, and horrible moments. This movie starts out really poorly, but it will surprise you more than once, and those surprises plus there are a couple of really great cult movie acting greats hiding in there, it's for you to find the less obvious ones. I mentioned the poor start, and that was almost the death of this movie for me, however because the first story is so short, we get past that, and move on to the real meat of the movie. The beginning is funnier at the end anyhow. ;) So I Enjoyed this movie a lot, and found myself applauding at one point to my surprise, you might know the point I mean, it is movie history in the making it really is. I recommend that any horror fan worth 2 cents waste no time, and see this. Any classic cult horror fan will be pleasantly surprised by this movie. I can promise you have never seen anything exactly like this before. All that said it is graphic, and gory, and full of really adolescently adult humour.(yeah best kind)
