Tin & Tina 2023 Movie Review Trailer Poster Online

Tin and Tina (Tin&Tina) is a psychological horror film directed by Rubin Stein, who also serves as the film's screenwriter. It is based on a 2013 short film of the same name and stars Milena Smit and Jaime Lorente alongside Carlos González Morollón and Anastasia Russo. The film lasts 120 minutes.


Tin and Tina follow Lola and Adolfo, who, after suffering a life-changing miscarriage, decide to adopt two children whose extreme religious upbringing begins to become a problem in their daily lives. As time goes by, things start to get downright dangerous for the couple, especially for Lola, who is left traumatized by the oddities of her children.

Director: Rubin Stein

Stars: Milena Smit, Jaime Lorente, Carlos González Morollón

Tin and Tina is one of those absolutely uncomfortable movies to watch, but from the get-go it feels like a movie we've seen before. Of course, it will remind you of old movies that have left a great impact on the cinema. It's a bit of Midsommar, Goodnight Mommy and The Shining and then some. But more than a horror, it is a drama about relationships and the burden of motherhood on women.


Set in 1980s Spain, the film is riveting in parts, but too fantastical to be a gripping journey throughout. It's the moments that really ask you to understand Lola's fears that grab our attention: we're left shocked and scared for her mental and physical well-being. The trouble she gets into every day is nothing short of horrible, and the fact that Adolfo is an absolutely horrible husband and father doesn't help.


Their interpersonal conflicts are what keep Tin and Tina going. It's a great movie as a drama and sometimes it even makes you emotional with some of its moments involving the twins. But once again, the psychological thriller aspect feels a bit too much. He's a bit comically evil even at points, which just takes you out of the experience and makes the whole thing awesome.


However, it's clear that Stein put his heart and soul into his first feature film. It looks and feels great, and there's definitely an air of uncertainty and mystery to every frame. Regardless of whether the twins are there or not, you can't help but feel tense and wonder if they are really to blame. We never really get an answer because in the end you will be left questioning the truth and therefore it will leave you uncomfortable and confused. Also, the background score is really good and fits the theme very well.


Religion plays a big part in the movie, and politics is mixed in too, but I didn't see the impact until the very end. Sure, religion is used as the mysterious bogeyman, but it's not religion so much as two brainwashed children and a frustrated wife and mother that are the main issues here. The movie would have been great without the Bible verses or the sporadic mentions of politics; It would have had the same impact, but maybe two kids repeating Bible verses while they drown you is more horrifying.


Milena Smit and Jaime Lorente are great in the movie, as are Carlos González Morollón and Anastasia Russo as the twins Tin and Tina. Smit, in particular, is terrific, bringing out the anger, resentment, fear, frustration, and happiness that her character goes through without a hitch. Her chemistry with Lorente is also quite natural and works well. Meanwhile, Moorlon and Russo play the perfect creepy twins who just might take you back to The Shining.

The Acolyte 2024 Tv Series Review Trailer Poster

 There are three main types of Star Wars stories. There's the kind where you write whatever you want and call it Star Wars, common in the many novels published in the 1990s. There's the kind where you recycle existing Star Wars stories and make them familiar; this has been the primary way of doing things at Disney. But finally, there are the stories that enthusiastically use Star Wars as a setting to create something new. There have been several novels that fit that profile, as did the first season of Andor, and now, four episodes in, it looks like the new Star Wars series The Acolyte, set a century before the movies, also fits the bill. in that category. . The Acolyte centers on a pair of twins, Osha and Mae (both played by Amandla Stenberg). The girls were raised by an unaffiliated coven of Force users, but despite living outside the Republic, the Jedi, including Carrie-Ann Moss's Indara, stuck their noses into these women's affairs, leading to the disaster.

Nefarious 2023 Movie Review Trailer Poster Online

 NEFARIOUS is a supernatural thriller. A skeptical psychiatrist, Dr. James Martin, takes the place of another psychiatrist who committed suicide. Dr. Martin has to interview a convicted serial killer to see if he's sane enough to be executed. The prisoner tells the psychiatrist that he is a demon called Lord Nefarious. Martin asks Nefarious to prove that he is a demon, but he gets more than he bargained for by making such a foolish demand. NEFARIOUS is an intense and hair-raising thriller with some good twists, dramatic dialogue, great acting, and fascinating direction. It has a strong Christian worldview that dramatically depicts the battle between God and Satan's world of demonic evil. God is clearly more powerful, however. For example, in one scene a character appeals to God and God performs a miracle. However, NEFARIOUS has a very strong execution scene that warrants extreme caution. The movie also has three relatively light obscenities and some scary conversations with a m...
