n/a – Chortle, 24th May “The Penny Dreadfuls gleefully muck about with the expectations, producing a charming, silly and very funny hour of knockabout entertainment… The result is like an Austin Powers film, but with buckets more wit.” Click for original review
– Three Weeks, May 2nd 2009, “A comic thriller that falls somewhere between ‘The Island Of Doctor Moreau’ and ‘Willie Wonka’s Chocolate Factory. It’s wonderfully crafted and replete with charmingly executed characters,”

n/a – The Argus, May 2nd 2009, “An imaginative adventure that recalls Scooby Doo, Indiana Jones, James Bond and Monty Python but never stoops to anything as ordinary as parody”
