Pinky Pinky (2020)
A bereaved teenager tries to cope with the loss of her twin sister by running away to boarding school. There, she encounters a monster not too different from the one she was escaping – but way more powerful. Will she keep running, or defeat it?
In this made-for-TV horror movie, the South Africa urban myth of Pinky Pinky comes to horrifying life. The creature that attacks girls when they dare to go to the bathroom gets a 21st-century makeover that’s sure to keep you up at night.
