Bad Penny

About This Movie

So, 'Bad Penny' is an interesting little piece from 2022. The film dives into the eerie world of an antiques dealer who finds themselves tormented by a cursed object. What I like about it is the way it captures that creeping dread, almost like a slow burn. The atmosphere is thick with tension, and you really feel the weight of this cursed item. There’s a rawness to the practical effects that gives it a tangible, almost tactile quality that pulls you in. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, but it adds to that feeling of unease. The performances hold their own, especially how they embody that sense of despair and obsession. It’s not your run-of-the-mill horror flick, that’s for sure.

Focus on the atmosphere and tension.Interesting exploration of obsession and despair.Raw practical effects enhance the horror.
