Netflix’s new Spanish movie ‘Tin & Tina’ is a psychological horror.
The plot follows a newly married couple, Lola and Adolfo, who had a traumatic miscarriage. The couple a few months later decide to adopt a pair of strange twins named Tin and Tina.
The couple believes everything to be normal in the beginning but soon they find themselves reeling from a series of unusual problems because of their adopted twins.

- Are Tin and Tina truly evil?
Throughout the film, the audience had witnessed how the twins are capable of doing some seriously messed up things. From cutting up the dog, and hurting their classmate to death to forcibly baptizing the infant to playing a deadly game with their adoptive mother, Tin, and Tina had done it all.
But let’s just agree the twins throughout the movie were clearly pushed along their path by their religion. Whatever they do it is as per the teaching they were taught at the church. Like Lola, their adoptive mother pointed out how the twins interpret the Bible absolutely literally. Thus, they reenact the same dangerous and horrible acts as a way to get away from sin, probably not understanding that murdering an animal or hurting another human such that they go into a coma is absolutely devious.
I think the twins were just guided by their incorrect interpretation of their religion and did some horrible things. Sure, there is something definitely wrong with them, but it doesn’t seem like they caused Adolfo’s death. In the end, it seems like Lola forgave the children and embraced her religion once more, and decided to take the twins under her care once more.
Our take?
The psychological movie is a roller coaster full of excitement. At some moment you’re horrified and most of the time curious.
The movie mostly maintains a slow build-up to its drama but overall it keeps you hooked as an audience until the climax.
