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.

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.

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.

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.

It's a pity that it's advertised as a horror, this probably raises wrong expectations. Personally I would call it something like a mysterious thriller. It's a real slow-burner, the story evolves very gradually, so you have to give it some time to get into the flow of it. But if you can, you are in for a very sinister and suspenseful movie, carefully made, well acted and cinematographically beautiful.

A couple adopts two angelically looking orphans from a local monastery, who turn out to be raised extremely religiously, up to taking the words of the bible literally, thus constantly unsettling their new foster parents. Gradually their behavior gets more and more erratic, even perilous. Slowly the tension is being built up, and as in a Greek tragedy you can see fate closing in on the family, with a devastating climax as a result.

The setting in this classic villa in the middle of nowhere is impressive, the photography is beautiful. Milena Smit and Jaime Lorente do a great job as the wistful, anxious mother and the macho father, and Teresa Rabal is an impressive and imperious Mother Superior of the monastery. But it's the two kids who really blew me off my feet, they are absolutely amazing! One can only wonder how these young kids were made to act so convincingly in their extensive and often very weird and creepy parts.

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.

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.

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.

Worst horror movie I've seen in a very long time. Waste of time. Not to mention animal cruelty 😕 Though it was already mentioned that the movie contains self and animal harm, but still not good to watch.

It was not making any sense at all, plot was too shallow. It was annoying and the ending? Don't know. Just not a good movie for a Friday night

If you have more time to Waste and if you just curious you can read the comments in here first if not convince you can see it for Yourself 😝 we will get annoyed together.lol

Have a Good Friday night friends. Would love to hear your thoughts about it.

I am beyond shocked how so many people are throwing 1 ratings at this movie when in fact it is a very decent film. I think the issue might lie in the fact that it is advertised as Horror when it is actually more belonging to the Psychological Thriller genre.

It depicts subjects like infertility, miracle healing, growing apart from one's partner, uncertainty, and fate - sometimes we try so hard to escape something, but nonetheless it finds us in the most unexpected of ways.

I really urge everyone to form their own opinion on this film, which I found to be not the masterpiece of the century but still very alluring for a Halloween-time watch.

Don't watch this stupid movie No horror just boring and stupidity That's all in this movie Skip this.

Movie started good but slowly slowly it turn into so boring and it doesn't contain any kind of horror Neither it has some kind of mystery or suspense You can Easily guess what is going to happen next No need to think There is no need to get your brain envolve in this I don't understand why they make these kind of movies which doesn't have any horror.

Please don't watch this stupid movie and skip it if you can .

It's best to watch evil dead rise instead of this Go and get your eyes get to see something good.

A legit third class movie from a third class director! I don't even know why he wrote such illogical stuff that doesn't worth your time! Please Please please don't watch & don't waste your time on this disgusting illogical nonsense content.

Any character of this movie doesn't make any sense in any movie! Don't watch it. You will loose your valuable 2-3 hrs of life. Every single character is psychopath! They don't make any sense in any single scene.

Moreover it's so damn disgusting that you cant even get what's going on and why is it going on! The plot is so thin and nonsensical that it leaves the viewer questioning its purpose. Thank you.

It was pretty good. If you like films like The Others, The Innocents, Village of the Damned, Rosemary's Baby, etc., then give this a shot unless you fall into one of the below categories.

I get not liking a movie, but the people giving it extremely low star ratings must either:

1. Dislike subtitled movies 2. Not be able to bear seeing an animal or child harmed in a film (Netflix alerts you) 3. Dislike movies involving religious aspects in whatever light 4. Prefer gore or special effects to suspense 5. Decide they hate a movie if they correctly guess what might happen 6. Be uninterested in pondering other topics within a film besides the literal storyline, or perhaps disagree with the social commentary that might be a part of it.
