Do You Know The Muffin Man? (1989)

Option 1Can't Watch?

Wait 30secs. Movie still not playing? Click the "Can't Watch?" tab.

If the movie didn't load, it means you are being blocked by a security service we use. This can happen for a number of reasons.

Click this first

A new tab will open and a basic security check like a captcha will be performed. After completing the check, close that page and return here.

Refresh this page. Wait 30 secs. The movie should load and you can just hit play.



If it still doesn't play, Click here to watch the movie

The movie should now start playing in a new tab of your browser or begin downloading to your device. This option has the minor disadvantage that English-language movies with optional subtitles in the movie player will not include these subs with this method.

The new system here has been designed keeping in mind even people with low internet speeds sub-8mbps. Even if you have a really bad connection, you should still be able to watch the movie without any issues if you:
Start the movie. Pause it. Wait for 30-45 seconds. Start playing again.

This 'Can't Watch' method really only works if it's your specific device/browser that's interfering with the player. There is no real advantage of speed here. Or if there is a temp network glitch or read lag from the server disk.

If you're still having problems, try using 'Incognito mode' in your browser. On iPhones, especially older ones, use Chrome instead of Safari. Might help.

IMPORTANT: Please make sure that the newly opened tab is not an ad popup asking you to download some software or whatever. Close any such popups and don't download any software - those are ads. Nothing is needed to be done by you other than to complete the security check which is often automated.

Plot – Spoilers:
A regular American family begin to wonder if their lives have been all that regular, when kids at the daycare that the youngest son attends, begin claiming incidents of sexual abuse.

Do You Know The Muffin Man, released at the end of the ’80s, documents the spate of daycare abuse incidents that dotted the decade, alongside allegations of the involvement of Satanic cults. But there is something disarming about its TV-movie nature, that you almost don’t pay enough attention to the perverseness of what is being discussed and the central theme – child abuse at daycares. The movie hurtles along at breakneck speed, casually handling the abuse, while focusing mostly on the trial rather than the crime and its psychological trauma. In that, it is successful – how fucked up and frustrating the legal system can be in situations like these.

TV movie with sometimes questionable acting. The actor who I thought did the best job didn’t even get mentioned in the EUM description – Anthony Geary, who played the part of the Richardson’s defense lawyer, who traumatized the kids on the witness stand. Anthony Geary recently died (December 14th, 2025). He was best known in America as “Luke,” one half of the famous “Luke and Laura” couple on the soap opera General Hospital. They were all the rage in America at one time.

When this was made there was lots of scrutiny of day cares because of widespread allegations of sexual misconduct. This film is a grim reminder. The ending seemed a little rushed and sloppy. I’ll go straight up the middle with this one and give it just a cunt hair over 2 and a half stars.

is it crazy to think that in a decade or two this stuff will be legal in some way?

I would do prison time if anyone touched my kid. In a heartbeat, I would spend time behind bars for killing a pedophile.

Another pedo film. Pedos are scum of society and should be destroyed. Therefore, will not be watching this. In my job I sometimes have to deal with this scourge and it leaves me hollow and disgusted as to how some individuals can stoop this low. No pity and no excuse.
