Rating:  - Can Pin come out and play!
I first saw this film way back in the 80's on video. Then as now it stands as one of the hidden horror masterpieces from it's age. A very unusual story about a brother and sister raised in upper society under a hard handed mother and distant town doctor father, who has a plastic life size anatomy dummy in his office. the father is a ventriloquist as well, and uses the dummy (named pin) to teach his children about life and sex. The boy sees a nurse having sex with the dummy one day in the office. ... Read More
Rating: - A hidden gem
This movie was a very haunting movie to watch. You really didn't know if Leon was hearing voices or the "dummy" was really talking. It was a psychological horror that took you on a trip and didn't let you down right down to the credits in the end. For anyone that has a fear of dolls, I do recommend this movie to scare you for sure.
Rating:  - 1.75 STARS: "Pin's the best friend you've ever had!!!" -Leon
"Pin" is a nice psychological thriller although not a true horror film in the strict sense of the term. Basically, "Pin" is about a very strange family, much like my ex-wife's family and that is no lie.

Rating:  - Pin....A Plastic Nightmare
Don't let the cool cover and misleading reviews fool you. This movie is quite bad.
Plot- An upper-middle class family, all of them, mom & dad, brother and sister are VERY strange. The whole situation is weird- The way they act with eachother. The movie starts off with the kids, ''Leon the brother and Ursula the sister'' when they were little. The father uses an anatomical dummy named ''Pin'' to teach the children about life and sex. He pretends Pin is talking when its just him using ventriloquism ... Read More
Rating: - Quality Movie
Anchor Bay did justice to this gem. The DVD is an excellent reproduction. I like "well done" horror movies, yet I wouldn't necessarily call this a horror film. The movie delves more into human relationships and feelings, with a psychological twist.
The movie was well made, the cinematography, score and acting were excellent. An excellent addition to my collection.
Keep it up Anchor Bay. I enjoy horror films and I have some DVDs that I wish had been done by you.
