    PIN... just seen it for the first time

    1988, never seen or heard of it before.

    If interested check out Newcastle After Dark on YouTube (BTW i'm not connected with them,-- just a huge fan).

    Back to PIN... --- Talk about an interesting and disturbing slow-burn movie, this movie is the tops.

    WHY hasn't this movie been referred to me in the past ???

    No spoilers here, just watch it

        Just read a synopsis and it sounds interesting. Good reviews, too and Terry O'Quinn is always watchable.

        I'm 99.99% positive I've seen the paperback edition of the novel from which it's adapted at my local used bookstore.

            I’ll be your huckleberry, Mikey. I’ll watch it one of these days. Sounds pretty interesting.

              I watched it last night and enjoyed it--some good acting in it and creepy with a few scares. The editing and voice work helped, and it's rather well-written. Barring some sexual scenes, it struck me as very well-done TV movie (that's a compliment).

              I need to check out David Hewlett in some other roles, he's good in Pin.

                I’ve never heard of it. Is it streaming anywhere? I know David Hewlett from Stargate Atlantis.

                  Quite good. Surprisingly well crafted movie. The characters are all well developed and the story doesn’t go exactly as expected. It’s far more sensitively handled than you’d expect. The performances are all good, especially the lead.

                    The thing that attracted me most is wondering throughout the entire movie is "PIN..." real ?

                    Is he a supernatural Chucky in disguise?

                    Is Pin... evil ?

                    Was waiting for him (the dummy) to show any sign of life

                      Yeah it's one of those underrated horror films that's hard to find physical. Yeah that's a good YT channel, Tales from the Crypt(72) was decent imo.
                      I believe in psychics, but I also believe in charlatans and mental illness.

                        On the recommendations of you fine folks, the GF and I sat down and watched this movie.

                        it was good! Very creepy but fun. The main actor absolutely killed it.
