... in which a lady nurse makes sweet sweet love
The dire results aren't directed at the plastic-humping horny nurse - which seemed like a missed opportunity to me; she really should've show up again later to be offed in some elaborate mannequin-straddling manner - but upon the relatives and friends of the little boy that witnessed this dummy desecration, Leon (David Hewlett, most recently a regular on Stargate: Atlantis, and next to be seen in Vincent Natali's film Splice with Sarah Polley and Adrien Brody). Leon goes cuckoo for dummy-puffs, and starts believing he can hear Pin (short for Pinnochio)'s voice, which starts telling him to do fun stuff, like write poetry about raping his sister and scare their aunt/caretaker to death.
Speaking of that latter scene with the aunt-scaring, that shit spooked me! Pin's whispering voice wakes her up, whispering, "Dorothy.... Dooooooorothy... I'm right beeeehind yooooouuuu.... I'm riiiight behiiiinnnnnd yoooooouuuuu, Dorothy..." Shudder!
Honestly, Pin was way better than I was expecting it to be. It's characters behaved like I expect people would behave in such situations, and when they don't they're given the chance to tell us why they're not behaving rationally, and there was a disturbingly incestuous sleazy vibe to it all that made it genuinely unsettling. And the dummy was sufficiently off-putting. And Terry O'Quinn!
Hooray for Terry O'Quinn! Now go read this interview with the movie's director at BD, or Stacie Ponder's review of the movie. Go!

I finally saw Pin a few months ago, and it is one creepy freaky flick. Loved it!
I just watched this one for the first time too recently (Netflix streaming, Jason?) Definitely creepy.
Ross - Yeah it was my first time using the Netflix Wii disc. Which was awesome. Started playing in like five seconds, and was great quality. Yay technology!
In that shot Pin looks like the guy from Burn Notice
You mean Jeffrey Donovan? WTF?
Yes, the ass guy from Blair Witch 2. You don't see it? Take another look
