My Review of “Old” – Horror by M Night Shyamalan

This film succeeded with me in presenting a background in front of which I can see a personal connection. It failed a little in preaching what the background would do for the close up characters, who we are invested in, maybe too much.

It’s safe to say this guy’s films are spoiled from their release. Even the title here carries a summary. Through peripheral unintentional spoils, I knew it was about people on a beach who either get old or discover people there who got old prematurely. Without spoilers, there’s something undefinable on the island and the film does have to do with that process.

I’m a high achiever so I know people will vary in their reactions to growing old. I would have drawn conclusions for characters that hadn’t been clearly lined out in the film. Why is the best ending _______? I like a more open ended film when it comes to It’s a Wonderful Life conclusions. Maybe he doesn’t want her back? As an example? 

In conclusion, if you are introspective about life, this could be a good place to go. Don’t look for moral truths but use your imagination to marinate the troubles and mixed blessings in your life. For introspective fans of M Night Shyamalan, I recommend “Old” to you.
