We love to see horror movies claim top spots on new-ish streamers. This is why we are celebrating this 2021 title that is having a moment on Freevee’s charts. We are so here for Old becoming the #1 horror film on the app this first Friday of fall. Let us unpack why it feels like the appropriate time to watch this disturbing tale.

Rotten Tomatoes Synopsis

“A tropical holiday turns into a horrific nightmare when a family visits a secluded beach that somehow causes them to age rapidly — reducing their entire lives into a single day.”

The movie is based on the novel Sandcastle, written by Pierre Oscar Levy and Frederik Peeters. Old was adapted for the screen and directed by M. Night Shyamalan. It stars Gael García Bernal, Vicky Krieps, Thomasin McKenzie, Eliza Scanlen, Alex Wolff, Aaron Pierre, and Abbey Lee.

M Night Shyamalan outdid himself with an insane storyline yet again. His execution may have stumbled at parts but by the end of the film, it sure does leave you stunned. A good watch.#Old – 3.25/5 pic.twitter.com/mKMMJHE4xL

Watching M. Night Shyamalan's #OLD for the first time, it's high concept, it's also oddly compelling yet horrific to. Allegory central. Senses overload. I wonder about it now as a series to flesh out (?) the changes, yet even more subtly. @MNightShyamalan pic.twitter.com/z0r86sMYdN
