Pin

Movie • 1988 • Horror  

Report
A doctor has a lifelike, anatomically-correct medical dummy, with muscles and organs visible through its clear skin, named Pin (after Pinocchio). Via ventriloquism, Pin explains bodily functions in a way kids can relate to. When the over-strict doctor and his wife are killed in a car crash, his son (Leon) transfers his alter-ego into Pin, whom he always believed was alive. He starts using Pin as an excuse to over-protect his sister (Ursula) from admirers and deflect unwanted intrusions, even to the extent of committing murder.

A preteen boy gets stuck hiding in the same room as a woman. The woman starts masturbating with a life-size doll, not knowing the boy is present. The event is traumatizing for the boy.

They are probably 20 at this point. The sister's boyfriend is initially supportive of Leon's delusion that Pin is a real person and talks to Pin politely in front of Leon. After dinner, Leon reads his poetry to his sister and the boyfriend. It has graphic sexual themes. Leon leaves to put Pin upstairs, and overhears the boyfriend telling his sister that Leon needs psychiatric help and his poetry is sick. This is privately devastating to Leon, and he leaves, not hearing his sister say she's loves Leon, he isn't hurting anyone and should be allowed to be himself without being institutionalized.

There's a frightening scene where a ~10 year old Leon goes to talk to Pin (the life-size anatomical man doll), his only friend and confidant. A nurse comes in to the office and he hides because his father told him not to talk to Pin alone. The nurse, thinking she's alone, proceeds to have sex using Pin, while Leon is trapped in the room and traumatized, seeing it all. He covers his ears and silently screams, extremely disturbed.
