“Penny Palabras” (* out of four) was a laughably incoherent horror movie about the title character (Deena Ingley) who is tormented by a character named The Straw Man (Bill Read, Jr.) whose confrontations grow escalatingly more lurid and intense. Unfortunately, film itself descends more and more into pretentious nonsense and is filmed in ugly black and white photography. Based on a graphic novel which this movie which will inspire no one to want to read.
