I love a horror movie, and this is one of the most striking I've seen in a long time. Even from 1988, I doubt it has been bettered, in the genre of creepy talking anatomical dolls. Parents are cold, withholding, weirdos - sis turns out fine, brother not so much. Some genuinely frightening moments, and the whole movie gives you a sense of unease. Sis has to be one of the nicest, most sympathetic characters in any movie, and brother, for all his dubious behaviour, is just a damaged child. The scene with Pin and the Nurse will haunt my dreams.
"Let's make a two hour movie about Jennifer Lawrence's boobs, and put in a rape scene to remind women of their place, and tell everyone no means yes."
"Coolio. Is there a story? What is people ask?"
"Don't worry brah, if they ask I'll just make something up, people are dumb as shit."
Very good fun, super creepy, Vincent Cassel steals the show as always. Bunch of annoying kids go to a creepy country house, encounter local oddballs, try to get the girl, have to deal with the larger than life, weirdo housekeeper.
