Tin Can

This was all style and zero substance. What is the point of creating something 104 mins long with a story than could've been told in 5-10 minutes? Yes, we get it, co-writer and director Seth A Smith has a creative imagination, and even with a low budget using rubber tubes, red light bulbs and sheet metal can create visually appealing set pieces, but at least add some substance to the horrendously slow pacing and lack of any narrative in your writing. And for what little narrative there was, it was riddled with plot holes, ridiculous context, unconvincing scenarios, and incoherent, long dragged out scenes. Even the dialogue was infantile and gave no reason to care about the characters or there scenarios. There is nothing substantial to hold a viewers attention fort more than 5 minutes at a time, where you'll get bored, and fast-forward to the next long, boring and dragged out scene. Repeat for 104 minutes, with no reward throughout nor at the end. This may have been watchable as a short film, but watching paint dry is more exciting than sitting through this shallow empty story. It's a generous 3/10 from me, all for the decent score and cinematography.

It was not very good. The story was all over the place to the point where I stopped caring about the characters very quickly & never cared again. The production, acting & direction were fine, but the story was terrible.

I recently rewatched Tin Can (2020), and I have to say, I don't know what the other reviewers were smoking-this movie deserves way more credit than its 4.1 rating on IMDb. It's a haunting, claustrophobic sci-fi horror that masterfully blends atmosphere with psychological tension. The film's minimalist setting and eerie sound design create an immersive experience that kept me on edge throughout. While it may not be everyone's cup of tea, for those who appreciate slow-burning, thought-provoking narratives, Tin Can is a hidden gem that lingers long after the credits roll.

Forgot to mention...the acting is superb also.

This movie has a funny way of getting into your brain. While the experiences of the characters are not distinctly relatable in the real sense, one can easily get immersed in the circumstance of being trapped, feeling helpless, and having to quickly come to terms with a twisted new reality.

With a body horror bend that is enough to make a seasoned horror vet squirm in their seat, this film is sure to find a home in your mind long after the credits roll.

While there are elements of this film and it's script that have potential, those bits and pieces never come together in any kind of understandable, interesting, or relatable way. It was a relief when the credits started to roll.

I found the idea behind the plague and the canisters interesting. These story elements could have woven a compelling plot. This disease plot device was particularly clever. But in the end, the script is a garbled mess. Cinematography, make-up, and set design had moments of genius. But it in the end fails as a cohesive movie.

Skip this. Not worth your time unless your a film student that wants to see potential poorly executed.
