The all stars of England’s notorious creepy figures are assembled and their storylines intertwine in a unique mixture here with Penny Dreadful, a gothic horror with well done production
values, acting and characters.
Frankenstein and Dracula amongst others interact in a rather more down to earth and realistic way, but make no mistake, there are still plenty of fantasy, horror and gore moments to be found.
Eva Green and Timothy Dalton as Vanessa Ives and Sil Malcolm Murray make up for the famous actors, but the rest of the cast is splendid too. The series ends rather abruptly, as Dracula apparently wins while others die.
Penny Dreadful is a stylish horror with an all stars of famous horror characters making their debut chronologically, while the direction and the writing make up for an interesting ride.
Rating: 7.5
