Don’t feel like reading? Watch the review below. Classic genre cinema has taught us that a sweltering Australian summer night is the ultimate backdrop for absolute carnage. And writer-director Mia-Kate Russell leans hard into that bloody tradition with Penny Lane Is Dead. Set in 1986, the film follows the titular Penny Lane.
