Soon, however, Leon's fixation on Pin spirals out of control, and Ursula must face the devastating consequences.

leon: pin, what should i do?
pin: 👁👄👁
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
pin is literally the ugliest motherfucker i’ve ever seen but i guess that didn’t stop the nurse from using him as a man sized dildo
Men will literally form a deep bond with a life-sized, anatomically accurate medical mannequin instead of fucking their sister.
Some lame sister can’t appreciate her brother’s amazing commitment to performance art.
Thank you, johnm1978, for reminding me to finally watch this movie!
The story of this seriously underrated and oft-forgotten 80’s gem is about a boy who forms and unhealthy attachment to a life sized medical anatomy model/dummy/doll and it is just as creepy as it sounds. If you have a doll phobia, I’d suggest maybe not watching this because I don’t happen to have that phobia an i was still kinda spooked.
Aside from the guaranteed nightmares that doll will give me, this is also an impressive psychological horror about a young boys evolution into madness. The film starts off with the boy and his sister at a young age and advances a few years with each scene to show…
Wait, we're watching another Canuxploitation flick? Hell yeah! This one might not be as brutal as the one Michelle and I watched on Sunday, but Pin still gets plenty weird. As soon as we arrived at the nurse-on-medical-dummy sex scene I knew this would be solid.
The movie's general mood was very disturbing and the performances were great, but I thought it could have used some gore (or maybe a bit of nudity).
I decided to revisit Pin last night, its been years since I've seen it and I remembered very few details, so a much needed rewatch was in order. The opening scene gave me legit goosebumps.
It was late, so I fell asleep about 15 minutes in, and proceeded to have an anthology style dream-consisting of three dream within a dream situations... all involving me being stalked by mannequins.
I woke up in a pool of my own sweat and finished the movie.
Pin is a subtle, disturbing entry into the psychological horror genre. I also couldn't stop thinking about how much David Hewlett looked like a younger version of Terry O'Quinn, perfect casting.
A nurse fucks the giant plastic doll and it is never mentioned again, the fuck is this movie
Interesting movie discovery because of an Instagram template. The backdrop made me even more curious about this flick.
Dr. Linden would have loved to be a ventriloquist, but ended up becoming a doctor. But he retained his ventriloquist skills and uses them to raise his children. Something as precarious as sex education is quickly taken over by the anatomical doll at the familiar doctor's office, so he doesn't have to do it in person. This makes at least one of the two siblings even more crazy than they already are. "Pin" is a cozy psychological thriller from the 80s, well acted, a bit sedately, but interesting enough.
This movie is completely wonderfully bonkers.
Pin: A Plastic Nightmare is one of the coolest and most bizarre of 80s horror films, and sadly it often gets overlooked when discussing this golden age of the genre. It’s so strange and unusual, very unique story and quite taboo for the time period too. It’s always been a firm favourite of mine and I have a super fun time every time I decide to watch it. An underrated gem.
