Tin & Tina

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.

This is one of those movies that had everything to be very good, but ends up disappointing the viewer. The beginning and introduction of the plot is very efficient and exciting, leaving the audience wanting to find out what's going to happen. However, when the process of concluding the plot begins, the movie leaves a lot to be desired. Several inconsistencies and unexplained things are left behind. It's not a plot hole that leaves the audience wanting more, but a significant inconsistency that ends up damaging the viewer's experience. Some say that the film was intended as a critique of religious fanaticism, since there is nothing supernatural about it, which doesn't usually happen in films that have some contact with entities and religion. Others refer to the plot as a psychological horror, considering the protagonist's traumas, her mental conflicts and the perversity (intentional or not) of Tin and Tina. In addition, the movie is very suspenseful with some bloody and agonizing scenes that will make anyone bite their nails. In short, the movie ends in a very superficial way, leaving several explanations along the way that, like it or not, are missed by those who watch it.

Tin and tina is a bit of a disturbing movie. Which means its intentions are clear from the getgo. We already get a taste of whats to come once the bereved parents walk though the doors of the church and are greeted from above by the two children playing the organ. These are tin and tina. Super religious kids that dont know much about the real world. The acting was ok for the most part but i do feel like it couldve been a lot better. I wish they would stop killing the pet in these types of films and as we got to the end of the movie it did become a lot better. The horror was creepy and the way it built up was good,. So overall this film worked but also not.

The low ratings and complaints regarding this stunning Gothic Horror Story, is unfair.

Sadly, I watched a 'dubbed' version which was a terrible idea.

That aside: The story starts quite depressing: death, loss and emotional trauma.

Enter the kids: innocent to the point of evil! Sweetly done, showing the absolute madness which can boil from imaginative, yet misguided minds.

The story, I think is simple, probably why so many find it 'too little', however, I think it is a rather pleasant Gothic experience.

The visuals are authentic, the setup for 1981, was convincing.

I can also see why some might find it annoying (the dubbed version voicing is... entertainingly off). The constant melancholy of the lead lady, will drive most to annoyance, but it is part of the personal drama, which ends in the final scene: perfectly.

I would only recommend to those who enjoy a bit of Gothic mystery and madness.

And also, this is not horror. It's just cultish, obsessive religion. Not worth watching honestly.

Without giving spoilers, the characters are annoying. The decision to simply adopt those pretty big kids from a convent without getting to know them first, dumb. The movie can be sooo slow at times. The stuff happening towards the end of the movie has so much filler it's unbelievably annoying. I had to keep skipping because I did not muster the patience for it. And finally the ending is completely "wtf?".

No substance. Just a whole bunch of religious bible passages spewed and actions justified by them. The parents find the behaviors of the kids completely normal apparently since they keep finding excuses for them. Red flags flying furiously all around the screen but nah they just a little weird and doing kid stuff. Honestly it barely was a quarter into the movie and I was fed up with the parents. Such unpleasant characters. Not rooting for them at all.

The two kid actors are cute tho. About one of the only positives.
