There are a few good things that happen in Penance Lane, a plot that develops, good cast, acting but the lack of budget will make a mark in the end.
This is definitely not something to recommend even for the average horror fan, because it is a step lower than your usual, not quite entertaining but does has a story to it, and it doesn't reveal itself from the very start. So, as the plot thickens you get to watch a movie, one that grows right in front of your eyes, but as expected, shortly after it becomes a clichee. Now, all in all I would say this is a fair effort, from the actors, to the execution, but only as an early production of such kind, because as I said before, it is not something I would tell others about.
I rated it a 4 because I strongly believe it is the best it could do regarding the budget, I do admire the way Penance Lane developed, but it is what it is. There are plenty of other better indie productions our there, so you decide what you going to watch next.
Cheers!
