This Canadian film is on the borderline between horror and disturbing psychological thriller but it's pretty good all the same. Leon, a disturbed young boy regards his doctor father's anatomical dummy as a person after his father uses ventriloquist skills to have it dispense health advice to children. Leon ( David Hewlett ) grows up to be a paranoid schizophrenic over -protective of his sister Ursula and treating Pin as a member of the family. It's a tad slow in places and there's the odd plothole like why it takes the doctor ( Terry O Quinn ) so long to spot his son is abnormal but overall it's gripping stuff with a well concealed surprise ending.
Cynthia Preston ( as Ursula )
Sex : Ursula is very promiscuous at fifteen

Cynthia was very unfortunate that the film got buried due to industry politics as hers is a starmaking performance.
Helene Udy ( as Marsha )
Sex : Marsha strips off for sex with Leon but he can't do it
Death : Survives

This is one of Helene's favourite films.
