Since tomorrow's Black Museum lecture is all about creepy dolls, marionettes and automatons in film, I figured I'd offer up one of Canada's best examples of such, the 1988 thriller Pin, starring David Hewlett& Terry O'Quinn.
I recently re-watched this and the subject matter is still pretty unsettling, as not only is Hewlett's character all kinds of askew, but his father (played by O'Quinn) corners the market on questionable parenting decisions. A dangerous mix, indeed.
