Thanks for understanding the lack of footage and some of the distortion (my fault). Because the movie isn't out on Blu-Ray yet I have to use trailers, behind the scenes, and clips to weave together this video. What did you think of OLD?

I swear M. Knight is an alien IRL trying to communicate his cultural identity.

If trials could be tested in a day to save hundreds of thousands, you would probably find volunteers already diagnosed willing to sacrifice, why do it in secret? I like the stay in the present theme

Trent really went through it, the whole film. Finding a dead body, losing his baby, girl and parents also basically losing a childhood friend.

This movie has a kid that becomes a pregnant teenager who holds her dead baby's dissolving body after its birth. Can you take someone's paycheck away and give them a raise at the same time?

the calcium deficient woman looked so scary at the end…

Do no friends/relatives of the people from the 73 previous "trials" report that hundreds of loved-ones have disappeared and not returned from vacation? That resort should be in the headlines and swarming with police by now.

This beach was literally a SCP

I watched the movie yesterday day and that last image of the women with the calcium deficiency before she died was very disturbing

this movie is honestly a rollercoaster ride

Your spoiler review was definitely the BEST.

When teenage Cara and teenage Trent eat some pasta, the food is not spoiled the argument could be the pasta is not alive but the food is also organic material I think this is because the food were cover with the aluminum bags, from my science classes I remember the aluminum helps to isolate magnetic fields so maybe if the aluminum helps to protect the food from the beach magnetism they could create some hats with the bags to scape through the canyon

Crazy movie! The baby actually died from being set down for a minute. When a infant is neglected of human contact for prolonged periods it can suffer death. In this case 1 minute would have been several weeks without contact resulting in its death.

i think that the bad guys could have just told people with terminal illnesses what was happening and they would have had hundreds of people who would have done this willingly for the chance to find cures for themselves or others

If I was stuck on this beach, I'd probably write a few sentences in the sand and say, "This short story took me years to write."

Turn it into a prison for the most violent prisoners. A life sentence doesn't cost taxpayers more than the cost of a plane ticket.

I can't wait till Mid-Size Sedan drops a new record. "Dem Nose Bleeds" guaranteed to be a hit.

That broken bones scene was the most horrific thing I’ve seen in my life up til now.

When you hear the bones rattle against each other of the decaying newborn in towel. My entire spine felt like it was just dipped in cold water.

So basically the beach has its random tick speed set really high

I'm okay with it. The movie gave an actual explanation and brang some type of closure unlike the source it's based off of. In the orginal the characters don't figure out why the island works the way it does or why they are trapped there. No one escapes either. In the end they all just accept their fate and rapidly age till they all die.

Wow,love that the kids didn't go back into being kids again is crazy.

Ok, but as a mom of a 10 months old, that scene with pregnancy was scary AF for me

the casting in this movie was incredible.

M.Night Shyamalan is the only director out there who shows me things I've never really seen or thought about before.

This movie was like a modern day Tuskegee Experiment

So the message of this movie is basically remember that you're mortal (Like the word Memento Mori) and that you should embrace life as it's fullest despite knowing that you'll die sooner or later.

The plot twist of the pharmacy exploiting the beach is amazing. Very clever. It is a shame the film wasn't well executed.

Can anyone explain the scene near the end where the 'kids' are escaping. The girl gets stuck and suddenly the earth, coral seabed cracks?? It was so random

This movie is insane.

It’s funny how Death Stranding can perfectly explain time fall, but the comic and M Knight go “YA SEE THESE KEYS?” “WATCH ME JINGLE THEM”

Honestly your breakdown was all I needed. Thaaaank you.

I'm disappointed the Beach's Time Accelerating phenomenon isn't fully explored. They could of the very least tried connecting it to the Bermuda Triangle's affects of Time Alteration.

Towards the ending, the scientist mentions that Patricia’s epilepsy was “cured”, but she’s literally introduced to the audience when she’s having a seizure during dinner at the hotel, and that’s after having already been given her trial medication which was in the welcome drinks given to the participants as soon as they arrive to the hotel.

This sounds like something straightout of the SCP universe. Coincidentally, it sounds like something a lot of the Groups of Interest would do, even the Foundation themselves. On a separate note, the way the company does things here is just stupid. For one, they could have simply found people with the illnesses and told them "Hey, we have this new trial medicine we'd like for you to try, and you get to stay at a resort while you test it for us!". Not only would that have given them a better way to find test subjects, it also would have kept them from using children as test subjects as well. I like this movie in concept, but I feel like the execution needs work.

When Trent gives the book with names to the police, the writing looks fine. How did the writing not get erased or damaged during his underwater beach escape?

Saw it today and wow, it’s a slow start but the pace was perfect

I watched the movie yesterday and I would give it a 8/10 for being able to stress me out in a fun way, if you like movies where the concept of it makes you sit and think about it then it’s a good movie for you

Love Rufus Sewell (Charles) he’s aging like a fine wine ❤️

I would have liked to more about the island. Another 'lost' type movie

Anyone else get this mixed up with Heavy Spoilers due to them having the same thumbnail? Lol

....so.... i think the reason they didnt want kids on the beach was so the adults wouldnt notice the passing of time as quickly... like he said "childrens bodies changed rapidly when their young but adults dont"... also... i would hope that these companies wouldnt test on children... not like they could get them out even if they did slip in there

Wasn’t as into the movie as I thought I’d be, the ending was a slight twist but I kept waiting for something more, it just didn’t completely satisfy me.

The doctor was paranoid schizophrenic, they confirm this in the film.

At the end when m night shamalons character talked about the 'one who got through the coral but drowned' I thought they were going to reveal that he was the one who got through and is now a double agent. Seems like a loose thread or sequel plot 🤷

I saw the movie without knowing anything about it and I had this feeling about it once I saw M.Night Shyamalan's name in the credits it just clicked!! I LOVE his movies and that eerie feeling you get after watching certain scenes from his movies/shows. I am planning to read the graphic novel too.

there’s one thing i still don’t understand someone please answer if you know- what set the boundaries of the beach? how did it apply to set parts for the black outs? also, how did they get in and not black out on the way in but blacked out going the same way out??

And now a mathematics explanation of how the beach works.

That was such a unique and interesting plot. Very inventive.

Chicken wings to chicken thighs… WallE is coming true.

U love your videos and this one was much needed!! Thanks for the breakdown!

Why didn't anyone try the nurse's idea of walking slowly through the rocks allowing yourself to acclimate? Yes, the idea of using some kind of tube for protection is nice, but I don't think anyone ever dismissed that walking slowly *without* said tube wouldn't work... or am I missing something?

Man, I loved this movie. It's not only my favorite M. Night movie now, but I'd say my favorite sci-fi horror movie over all

The rapper n girls character was completely pointless. They both are literally just used as body bags because both die before anything significant happens

thank you for the complete explanation!! youre the only video iv found so far that explains what happened to kara

The theatrical poster design is a direct reference to the graphic novel, Sandcastle, which inspired this film. It's from a moment in which a character tells a tale about "a strange old man who had half of everything: half a head, half a body, and half of his arms and legs." Old (2021) marks the first time M. Night Shyamalan has filmed entirely outside Greater Philadelphia since his first film Praying with Anger (1992). However, Guy and Prisca mention that Philadelphia is where they live. The film is an adaptation of a 2010 graphic novel by writer Pierre Oscar Lévy and artist Frederik Peeters called Sandcastle. When asked what inspired him to adapt the book to film, director M. Night Shyamalan explained: "The book gave me the opportunity to work through a lot of anxieties I had around death and aging, and things like my parents getting older." Near the end, the notebook they find that contains a written possible theory and other victims' names is said to have belonged to a science fiction writer. This is a direct reference to the graphic novel wherein the main character that comes up with theories for their unusual situation is a science fiction writer.

So is the beach just magic then? And I guess this pharm comp said "Fuck ethics"

They missed the opportunity to create a re occuring loop with Trent and Maddox re playing the role as Midsize Sundan and the blonde woman he was with at the start when she jumped into the ocean. Then the last scene would be a close up shot of Maddox or Trent with a nosebleed because of the other new group that has just arrived. Creating an endless loop of families.

Whose idea was it that a good fake rapper name was "mid sized sedan" lmao

How’s it a twist…? We literally see M. Night watching them the whole time…. Making it not a twist because it’s clear they’re being observed…

I just saw it and I was impressed because the ending was classic Shyamalan because I thought it was gone end with the Trent and Maddox dying and the company getting away with it so to see Trent knock the cup out of the ladies hand really sealed it for me great film I recommend this to anybody who is M Night Shyamalan fan

It was less good than The Visit, but it was true to Shyamalan form, & a good cast.

Thanks for posting!

I think this Director is doing a phenomenal job by bringing us new story’s i love his work.

The chick next to me laughed out loud at the cave scene, yet I found it to be one of the most horrific things I've ever witnessed. I can't get it out of my head 😩

So this is how they tested the Covid-19 vaccines so fast..

Excellent break down! The story line is so messed up and full of twist, I can't wait to see it!!

Thanks for the precise sumup

This seems really crazy. Definitely want to give it a watch.

Breaking down time on beach 30 minutes = 1 year 15 minutes = 6 months 5 minutes = 2 months 2.5 minutes = 1 month 30 seconds = about 1 week Maybe if they took a step out every 30 seconds, that would have worked like Jarin said. But it might take 500 steps to get out. And that's like 500 weeks which would be like 10 years. I also wondered if some electric field was blocking them from leaving. They should have thrown a bucket of ocean water just before they reach the point where they start blacking out. That might break the field. I definitely would avoid Charles and Chrysta.

Great video!

I don’t tend to see these kinds of movies so I would not have gone to see it or looked at it. Thank you for letting me get the points. This was a great breakdown of the movie 🎥

film: they get arrested irl: everybody gets paid to keep mouth shut

Was genuinely really impressed by this movie, it had a great premise and an execution that lived up to it. Loved the blended tone that M. Night went for with horror, comedy and sadness.

The film is an adaptation of a 2010 graphic novel by writer Pierre Oscar Lévy and artist Frederik Peeters called Sandcastle. When asked what inspired him to adapt the book to film, director M. Night Shyamalan explained: "The book gave me the opportunity to work through a lot of anxieties I had around death and aging, and things like my parents getting older."

Old was weird and awkward but I kinda liked it, so a typical M Night S movie experience for me.

Thanks for the summary. I don’t want to spend my money or time on that directors trash. I am curious about his dumb plot twists and this saves me time and money

Lmfaooo I'm so happy to see Shyamalan making his comedic messterpieces once again

Glad I just watched the breakdown

This was good review, it makes me put this movie on good list of M. Night Shyamalan's films like Unbreakable.

So this one time, I ate way too many shrooms for the first time, and I thought that I was getting younger as time went on, and that I would eventually cease to exist. Shit was wild and terrifying. Now I don't eat so many at once . 🤷‍♀️😆 this movie really reminded me of that experience.

Horror and mystery about the beach where several years passes by every hour and you cant leave when you have found it. Liked it and also the surprise revenge ending.

So the Beach’s affect was an anomaly that the drug company used? They didn’t create it or explain in the movie how it did it?

I'm wondering how they clean the beach before the next guests arrives. It is either the cleaners wear a magnetic foil outfit to ward off the effects of the rocks, etc or theyre just willing to give 30min (1yr) of their life to prep the beach and are really good at diving they way out the corals.

Maaan oooooooh maaan this one was a rollercoaster. The concept of time ⏲️was perfect

Really puts into perspective the whole dilemma where if you kill one person, more don't need to die, is prematurely ending a life worth it to save others who are already doomed?

Thank you, loved it.

I would love to watch this movie thank you so much for this review. I searched a few different sites looking to watch Old I could not find anything. I think the movie is brilliantly written from your review. It scary to think that these types of experiments could possible take place. I suppose this is how we discover what works and what does not medical-wise..

My theory: the movie “Old” exists in the same universe as the events of the movie, and it was written by Maddox and Trent. It explains the stupid dialogue, the rudimentary understanding of science, the paper-thin understanding of adult emotional dynamics, etc.

Solid flick. Had a few issues but on the whole was really 👍 good

AMAZING movie !!! Just watched it today

Interesting montage, I kept thinking notebook was lagging.

Recycling centers: I'd like to know that beach's location I swear, that magnetic beach technology might solve a lot of slow decomposing garbage problems.

Core problem with the "trials" plot--the drugs in the "specialized" cocktails would metabolize out of their bodies as fast as they age--drug trials for treatments of illness don't involve a single dose. To properly test them, they would practically all need to be attached to IV-drips to keep up with the time acceleration in order to see any results.

Pretty darn good analysis.

2:40 wow I didn’t really catch that until now. They were so happy just being in the present with each other.

I’m really looking forward to watch this movie

“I have a letter for... Amanika Prisca?” I am her grandmother... do I have to sign? “Thanks, ma’am. Have a good day!” A good millennium, so far... “?”

5:54-5:59 Thanks for that info. I was wondering myself. No literally, because I was wondering whyy he was so interested in a film.

Thanks for this
