What happens

Tin Can Man is a 2007 Irish horror written and directed by Ivan Kavanagh and starring Michael Parle, Patrick O'Donnell and Emma Eliza Regan. O'Donnell plays a man who lets a stranger (Parle) into his house one evening and has his life turned upside down as he is forced on a dark journey to becoming the titular Tin Can Man. Unusual for a modern film, it was shot in black and white in a 4:3 aspect ratio. The film made its premiere at the Sydney Underground Film Festival. Despite critical acclaim, it remained in distribution limbo until 2014 when it was released on DVD and VOD by Brink Vision. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
