Pin: Odd little film, not in a good way though
2 April 2018
Pin is a hard film to categorise, I'd say horrorish.......maybe just a thriller.

It tells the story of a strict family raising their two children. The father is a doctor who treats his anatomic educational mannequin as though it were a person and gets his children in on it as well.

As you can imagine this effects the kids quite severely especially the son who grows up to be more than a little odd.

Starring the excellent Terry O'Quinn and David Hewlett (Even though I didn't realise it was him until late in the film) this quirky little tale is filled with a combination of weird and deeply uncomfortable scenes.

Not sure who the demographic for this one would be, I'd say a definite one for those with a taste for the less than usual.

The Good:

Terry O'Quinn

David Hewlett is excellent but unrecognisable

The Bad:

Unsettling film

Not exactly engaging

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

I'm genuinely concerned for the writer of the film and their level of mental health. Some of the conversation matter from the kids, sex with an anatomy dummy and more moments raise questions I may not want to know the answers to.
