M. Night Shyamalan’s new nightmare Old arrives in theaters today, and horror fans are in for a treat! I was lucky enough to sit down with Shyamalan to discuss straddling the line between R-rated and PG-13 horror and the film’s twist ending! We even had time to look back (briefly) at The Happening (you’re welcome, Marcos Codas!).
