    A must see for anyone into Scifi, Horror, or anything in between.

    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.

    Don't brlieve the low ratings

    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.

    Bits and pieces...

    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.

    Wooooo hooooooooooooo!

    What a ride! Another poor title & description belying a great film. I'm not into sci-fi horror - I like the 2 separated. But this as good as sci-fi horror gets.

    I like that it wasn't all gross gore, but more believable alien type medical grossness. And the sci-fi visuals were again appropriately good & believable, not epic. Way more substance than style here.

    Expert story-telling keeps you in suspense 2/3 through with a nice drip of clues, but no explanations before. Then it ratchets into high gear with intense action right along with the explanations.

    I also appreciated the high production quality in addition to the solid story. Not your average waking up in a pod with no memory film.

    Tin Plate

    This is the worst movie made in 2020. I don't know about Tin Can but I reckon the director had a Tin Plate in their head...... They must have been brain damaged to have the cheek to put this on the market with a straight face. I have had migraines that were less painful than this dull pile of senseless grey tripe. At least make sure there is a story! Then try to make something that holds the attention of the viewer, then all the story needs is an ending. This film had none of these things. Don't get me wrong I love a good independent horror movie but there must be some semblance of a narrative otherwise it's just 1hour and 40minutes of expensive nonsense. I have watched more movies than most, of all genres in my 50 years on this planet but this has to go in my top twenty worse piles of idiotic self serving, egotistical nonsense movies of all time.
