A judge is hospitalized in a nursing home after suffering a stroke. There, he falls into the clutches of a twisted patient, who uses his puppet, Jenny Pen, as an instrument to impose his will on the poor residents.
The climactic confrontation of two cinematic monsters, actors Geoffrey Rush (The King's Speech, Pirates of the Caribbean) and the ever-dreadful John Lithgow (Cliffhanger, Raising Cain, Blow Out). James Ashcroft could rest on his laurels with a cast like this, but no, his film effectively distills a chill of terror in the sanitized world of nursing homes.
