OK, this is supposed to be a horror/psychological thriller, right? Well, it fails on both parts - not too horror & not too psycho, either. What you DO get, however, is an overall decent movie with a few twists and turns to make it worth while and compelling.
Filmed in the 80s and it looks it. But, don't let this hinder you. Basic plot - 2 kids grow up with a doctor for a dad and a neat-nik NUT for a mother (opening to the kids - we see them having cookies & milk before going to bed - mom VACUUMS THE KITCHEN FLOOR FOR CRUMBS AFTER THEY'RE DONE!). Dad has a plastic medical model (life size) in his office - called Pin. They give you the way that his name comes around. Papa uses Pin in his practice to help kids feel at ease during the visit - and throws his voice to Pin - ventriloquism for dummies.
Fast forward to the 'present' - kids are grown (Leon & Ursula) and in their teens. I won't spoil the movie and give you the whole thing. Just suffice it to say that this is where the psychological aspect comes in. Suffice it to say that murder & mayhem and some general craziness come to play in this flick...
Parts of this movie are out of place - the nurse's sex party, for example, and parts are right in place - the eventual end of the story, the love interest that grows, etc.
Overall, a good flick with enough in it to keep your interest. Go for it.
