‎31 Days of Horror: Day 21: “Pin” (1988)

Sometimes I sit through a film and aren’t sure how I feel about it and why I feel that strange way. Pin is such a movie. From a technical level, the film is pretty much flawless. The actors deliver great performances, the script is pretty air tight, the cinematography is beautifully restrictive. The ending is tragically brilliant. I must admit that I did indeed shed a tear when I realized the fate/outcome of one of the lead characters. But, at the same time, is this a movie that I can recommend? Hmmm…that’s actually a very good question. I have no desire to every sit through this depressing heart wrenching movie again and I’m still not 100% sold on who this movie thinks it’s audience is. It moved me but I honestly have no clue how another viewer may take it.
