Halifax’s Seth A. Smith returns to FIN with a horror-tinged jolt.

What to watch at FIN Atlantic International Film Festival: Tues Sep 21

Today's must-see movies at the region's biggest celebration of cinema.

There are over 150 films on offer at this year’s FIN Atlantic International Film Festival, on from September 16-23 both online and in-person at Cineplex Park Lane. Offerings range from box office blockbusters to indie documentaries, from stories about the precursors of punk rock to teenagers managing viral fame. But if the crush of available movies has you wondering what to watch first, we gotchu with daily list of flick picks, highlighting the movies we’re most excited about. Here's the movie to catch Sep 21:

Tin Can

Available for festival’s duration on FIN Stream or in-person on Tuesday Sep 21, 6:30pm, at Cineplex Park Lane, tickets here. Halifax’s Seth A. Smith (Lowlife, The Crescent) often weaves death and mystery together in his films, to wondrously weird results. Here, he delivers the horror-tinged jolt fans will love: When a parasitologist awakes in a strange cell with other captives, the group scrambles to piece together what happened. A global plague ravaged the earth—one which the parasitologist was working to stop. As her cellmates are dragged off one by one, she must plot an escape to save what’s left of humankind. Peep the trailer:
