Tin & Tina

Why is it scoring so low? Probably because people these days don't like low-budget, slow-burn indies? I couldn't say.

This is definitely a low-budge, slow-burn indie.

It's not clear if it has a lot say and you have to mine for it or if it's just what it seems.

I really liked it. I was invested and it kept my attention.

It didn't swing for the fences the way it could have but there were some great scenes of dramatic tension and high stakes.

I mean, yeah, there are flaws. But name a movie without flaws.

I could point to some things that would have really kicked things up a notch but that's not what this movie wants to be.

I thought everyone did a great job with the material.

Definitely worth a watch.

The one thing I did find most distracting was the mom's physical disability which varies greatly from scene to scene and didn't really add anything to the plot.

I'm all for slow-paced, slow burn psychological horror; a movie doesn't need CGI action or jump scares every 30 seconds to be interesting. But in the context of horror an engaging movie should at least provide sympathetic characters making comprehensible decisions in an atmosphere of creeping dread. There's none of that here. Instead what we get are a pair of complete idiots who compound each bad decision with cringeworthy stupidity. Since the ostensible protagonists are ridiculous buffoons and the titular antagonists are clearly disturbed little creeps from the outset it's impossible to get invested. Some gory stuff eventually happens but it barely merits a shrug in the absence of relatable characters or any sense of stakes or tension.

Uncomfortable and an interesting watch. The pace is a good speed, the twins very creepy and the overall acting quite good. The low ratings are very hard to understand. It is a breath of fresh air for the genre, even if there is not really any deep plot or metaphor besides religious speculation and existence, however there are still interesting ideas and questions that are raised. Is it mind blowing , perhaps not, but I appreciate the art and the talent put into the film. I have not reviewed recently, but I was struck and confused by the low ratings, and wanted to speak up for the movie, especially when most new products on Netflix and other streaming is garbage.

No pun intended - taking things literally (verbatim or whatever you want to call it) is not always the right way to go about things. Trying to replace one hole with ... well trying to fill it ... can work, but it can also backfire.

Now having adopted two kids like that ... let's say they do not seem to leave an impression that would make me want to keep having them around. And that makes everything that goes on ... quite harrowing. It feels like the adults seem unable to understand that .. maybe they are in over their head ... on the other hand, maybe I am wrong and maybe the movie proves that too (?) ... well you'll be the judge if you dare to watch this through ... it is quite the ordeal to watch in my humble opinion.

If there is one thing I hate in this world it's religions, certainly fanatics that can't stop whining about it. And kids, can't say I'm a big fan of them either. And that's exactly what this movie is about, two albino kids that go on and on about religion. The majority will find them creepy and I get that but I just found them annoying. Still I did enjoy watching Tin and Tina, it's good enough to watch one time, just don't expect much horror. From the cast I only know Jaime Lorente that played Denver in the immensely popular series La Casa de Papel (or Money Heist for the English title). The acting wasn't bad in this move although the irritating voices of the kids were a bit annoying to listen to, just like their characters were.
