About this movie

Visionary filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan unveils a chilling, mysterious new thriller about a family on a tropical holiday who discover that the secluded beach where they are relaxing for a few hours is somehow causing them to age rapidly ... reducing their entire lives into a single day. The film stars an impressive international cast including Golden Globe winner Gael García Bernal (Amazon's Mozart in the Jungle), Vicky Krieps (Phantom Thread), Rufus Sewell (Amazon's The Man in the High Castle), Ken Leung (Star Wars: Episode VII--The Force Awakens), Nikki Amuka-Bird (Jupiter Ascending), Abbey Lee (HBO's Lovecraft Country), Aaron Pierre (Syfy's Krypton), Alex Wolff (Hereditary), Embeth Davidtz (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo), Eliza Scanlen (Little Women), Emun Elliott (Star Wars: Episode VII--The Force Awakens), Kathleen Chalfant (Showtime's The Affair) and Thomasin McKenzie (Jojo Rabbit). Old is a Blinding Edge Pictures production, directed and produced by M. Night Shyamalan, from his screenplay based on the graphic novel Sandcastle by Pierre Oscar Lévy and Frederik Peeters. The film is also produced by Ashwin Rajan (Glass, AppleTV+'s Servant) and Marc Bienstock (Glass, Split). The film's executive producer is Steven Schneider.

This was so bad. My wife wanted to watch it in theaters when it was released, but I was like "nah." I'm glad I didn't pay $30 for tickets to see this mess. I decided to rent it out of boredom one day, and I couldn't fathom a decent idea being as poorly executed as this. Michael Scott could've executed this movie better.

Most of the characters overly dramatic responses to what's happening makes it feel as though it's a bunch of amateur improve actors on a set. The ending is a "twist" but not and so predictable and anticlimactic. Other movies by m. Night end in a similar fashion that's now seeming cheesy and like a one trick pony... This director is one of the most successful while being the least talented movie directors to be in the business. This is the last one I'm paying for...

I was so disappointed in this movie. The cast and crew, I wonder what they were thinking. The acting was severely poor. Because I had paid for the movie I thought well I might as well finish it out to the end. If M Night Shyamalan could go back and redo the entire movie up to where they're all in the laboratory that would be great, The ending was fair and the best part of the movie.
