SUNDAY, OCTOBER 22 - 5 PM FEATURING REMOTE Q&A WITH DIRECTOR SANDOR STERN AND AUTHOR ANDREW NEIDERMAN - THIS EVENT IS $10

Leon, a troubled child, befriends his father's lifesized medical dummy, Pin. Leon’s reality crumbles following the death of his parents, and his obsession with Pin takes a dangerous turn.

The best way to describe PIN is by its full title, ‘PIN: A PLASTIC NIGHTMARE.’ Although the film might seem like a classic killer doll movie, à la PUPPET MASTER (1989), the true terror of PIN comes from within. Pin explores themes of childhood trauma, authoritarian parenting and object attachment in this emotionally driven psychological horror.

Based on the novel by the author of THE DEVIL'S ADVOCATE, Andrew Neiderman, and directed by Sandor Stern, screenwriter of THE AMITYVILLE HORROR (1979). Together, they have reimagined the killer doll subgenre without the comfort of childhood nostalgia. The result is a harrowing film starring David Hewlett (STARGATE: ATLANTIS, CUBE) and Terry O’Quinn (LOST, THE STEPFATHER).

For one night only, join us on October 22nd for a remote Q&A with director Sandor Stern and author Andrew Neiderman!
