Pin.. vs. Tourist Trap ( 1979).




Which psychological horror thriller with mannequins do you prefer? for me it's "TT" while "PIN" is still a very good flick.

Notice how similar they are?

I thought both were really good, I liked Tourist Trap more though. I think it just had a better story and was creepier.

they're both great,but personally I'm going to have to go with Tourist Trap. That's just because I love Chuck Connors though.

Ditto Tourist Trap! To the above poster who hasn't seen it, it's a perfect blend of the freakishly funny and the horrific. It's been a LONG time since I last saw it (or Pin, for that matter).

Definitely Pin..., although I really liked Tourist Trap, too.

And if you love these two, check out a horror film called 'Magic', starring Anthony Hopkins, Burgess Meredith and Ann-Margret. It's excellent!

Pin = Better screenplay, much better acting and characterizations.
Tourist Trap = Better cinematography, louder, more 'jump scares'

I prefer Pin.

Though TT had a better action and story scenes, it was obvious who was the killer. But Pin was just creepy.

Tourist Trap is one of my favorites, but I have to say Pin is technically the better film.

Pin is superior thematically. It's a better story and has better acting. More of a drama film than Tourist Trap.

Tourist Trap is suitably moody and is more of a pure horror film.

Pin is arguably the superior film however I'd say Tourist Trap is more rewatchable so I'd have to vote for TT.
