Tin & Tina (2023)
It's better than the current average score makes it sound (if you like the spooky kid genre)
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.
The Captive (2014)
Should have been an 8
This movie starts out as a fine mystery, has great scenery, and a super talented cast.
But at the end, before the credits started rolling, I said to my husband "ugh, this better not be the end..."
I guess the joke is on us that there IS no twist? It just suddenly ends and has all kinds of ridiculous red herrings.
It could have been a dream, or one of the parents been involved and the "bad guys" were really "good guys", or it wasn't really their daughter, or Bruce Greenwood was behind it all? Heck, I thought the male skater might be involved somehow, like he was the woman in the disguise at the fancy event.
And it isn't even a good ending as a straight-forward one.
Just a great cast in a movie that completely fizzles out.
