There may be spoilers ahead.... lalala...
Well actually, it's one big spoiler!!

Wasn't sure really what genre this falls under. Watched it last night and thought it was quite good, though quite an old film. It starred Terry O'Quinn of Lost fame, (looking very young) as a doctor and the lovely David Hewlett as one of his children (looking even younger!!! And thin too!!! Much prefer the cuddlier version

)
Anyway, the Dr has an anatomical dummy in his office called Pin (short for Pinnochio) and he uses ventriloquism to make it talk to his kids, only DH's character actually thinks the dummy is real. His dad threatens to get rid of it when he finds his son deep in coversation with it but then, mysteriously, both his parents are killed.
As time goes on he treats the dummy more and more like part of the family, freaking out his sister who thinks he's suffering from Paranoid Schizophrenia. When she gets a boyfriend Pin tells him he's no good and to get rid of him, so he drugs him and bashes him over the head and when she finds out there is a scene where she raises an axe to DH?
Then it cuts to a scene where she goes back to the house with her bf (cause he wasn't actually killed) and you see her talking to Pin who's sat at the window. Pin says he misses her brother and she cries and says she misses him too. Then there's a close up of Pin and it's actually DH made up to look like a dummy, so he's totally flipped out.

Told you there were spoilers - LOL! It was quite a good film and of course DH played the part brilliantly!!!

There are 2 pics on the back of the vid and I didn't recognise the actor then I thought Honey said DH's in it......so I looked more closely and it's him! I think he looks better now than then!

He's definitely improved with age! Wait till you see him, he looks so thin! Not that he's fat now or anything but he's filled out nicely - LOL!

Yes, more SGA talk Luc.
