Tin And Tina Movie Review: Adopted Twins Wreack Havoc In Their Parents Lives

It is the best day in the lives of Lola and Adolfo. They just got married in a beautiful church, on a beautiful day. But when the happy couple walks outside to greet the eager crowd, their happiness and glee turn into gasps of terror. Lola's pristine white dress has a streak of blood near her abdomen. Lola was pregnant with twins and she miscarried on her wedding day. It's been 6 months and Lola is still depressed.

Not entirely over the sadness of losing her unborn babies. Adolfo suggests that they both walk into the local church orphanage and adopt children. Even though Lola is initially apprehensive soon she agrees and they set off to adopt. At the church, the creepy nun tells them about Tin and Tina. Fraternal twins also suffer from albinism. They were abandoned at the steps of the church when they were just a few weeks old.

The twins are now school-going children. Adolfo says they are a little too old, but Lola disagrees and brings them home. But within the first few days, it becomes apparent how glaringly different the twins are from Adolfo and Lola. The twins are religious bordering on fanaticism. The twins hang crosses all across the house, insist on saying grace before meals, and even gift Adolfo a crown made of thorns. You do not need us to tell you how this is going to end, but we will still oblige.

Lola and Adolfo don't necessarily vibe with the religious changes occurring in their lives, but they still try to bond with the twins. But strange things start happening with and around the twins. The twins ardently believe in carrying out the teachings of the Bible to a fault. The literal and metaphorical meaning of the Bible re lost on them, and it isn't exactly their fault. Having grown up in an orphanage there is little else they could have held onto which was their own.

But when the twins' actions start becoming fatally dangerous to those around them, Lola and Adolfo need to prepare for what could possibly be an apocalyptic showdown.

The actors all do a terrific job, even though the kids could have gotten better haircuts. But apart from the horrible haircuts, there is little else that incites horror or even thrill. The done-and-dusted combo of religion and horror is used abysmally here and rarely gets us out of our seats. The plot twists and jump scares can be spotted from miles away. The movie has been remade into a feature film from a short film that had been shot previously. And that probably is a wiser choice to watch!
