Shyamalan appears to have fully embraced the fact that he is unable to write interesting characters or plausible dialog and instead goes all in on what he does best : teenage storytelling hinging on a major gimmick.
'Old' comes across as the type of 'prestige' horror movie that we once upon a time flocked to movie theaters to watch on Friday nights. The way the director handles the main gimmick is clever and it holds your attention throughout its duration.
A good choice for horror fans, it manages to feel fresh and disturbing at points.
