A film which advocates absurd decisions based on emotionalism. A film built on cliches. A film which sanctions violence. A film which leaves that message as its most prominent. A film with overly conscious cinematography.

Do You Know the Muffin Man?
(1989 TV Movie)
No thrills, no chills, and definitely no Muffin Man
19 April 2020
A phoned-in cash-in of tabloid stories at the time, this film offers few crumbs of truth and little insight, not to mention no muffin man. Rather, it portrays an endevour recklessly persued by the film's supposed protagonists; children are woken from their sleep to answer traumatizing questions by their parents, and therapists ask more disturbing questions nonchalantly with dolls as props. Overall, this is just as entertaining as it is credible, and the so-bad-it's-good trope doesn't apply here. In fact, even Pam Dawber (Mork & Mindy) looks bored. The X-Files did something similar to this a few years after which was more interesting.
