He should have progressively aged throughout the whole review.......

If you thought Jeremy’s thumbnails couldn’t get any better before, think again…

I’ve literally never heard a better analogy. Shamalan IS a loot box.

In an industry saturated with remakes and reboots, I, for one, can appreciate his originality even if it’s original shit.

I really want Jeremy to make a video about his theater job.

What do you call an aged Jeremy? Papa Jahns. I’ll show myself out.

I died laughing when the woman screamed “The baby died from lack of attention!” 😂

I think the movie is definitely watchable. It kept me engaged, even if there were some really weird transitions. Side thought. Did anyone else think that allowing the baby to actually survive and grow up on the beach would have been a more interesting/horror element to the movie? Like... growing up from a kid who has seen the outside world is one thing. But having that beach be your whole world would be completely different.

I’d really like to see how M Night rubs shoulders with producers behind closed doors. He must be the best talker. Because his career should have died SEVERAL times and yet he still gets work.

Therapist: "Old man Jeremy can't hurt you. He isn't real" *Old man Jeremy:*

Mid sized sedan literally made me cry laughing I’m not even kidding. Every time something horrible happens he just goes “Ah damn” Best comedy ever

That bone breaking scene though was WIIIIILD! I found it interesting that they mostly avoiding graphic imagery through the whole movie, then this scene went straight up graphic horror.

Actual dialogue in this movie: “Oh my god the dog is dying” “But it was only just alive.” Grade A writing by M. Night

The book this movie is based on is called Sandcastle.

The book is called “sandcastles”, if anybody cares

I definitely love this movie simply because it's like its telling you that you need to enjoy life while you have it...maintain your childlike attitude even as an adult because once your body starts giving up on you, that's it and there's no going back. The scene where they were both making sandcastles as an adult and he realized the writing that his friend made. It kinda felt like the message he was trying to imply is that you can find a lot of answers within youthful and innocent thinking.

I just realized he doesn’t do the punch anymore. How long has that been going on?

That's the scariest thumbnail I've seen. But you don't look bad old Jeremy.

The way the adult kid was acting when the girl was pregnant was so funny. She really said "I just got a little fat". 💀💀

Went in completely blind (no previews, not the faintest idea what genre it was, and avoided the poster and reviews). I gotta say, I had a pretty fun time with this. It was like if M. Night Shyamalan saw that “Surprise, Motherfucker!” Doakes meme from Dexter and decided to make it a movie. He put about a dozen plates in the air and kept them spinning and while some of them definitely didn’t land, I had an overall good time with this movie and would recommend seeing it in the theater. I caught it in the Dolby Atmos at my AMC and the sound was awesome.

I just think that M. Night needs someone to come in after he's written a script and just fix all the dialogue so that the characters feel like people instead of talking sense machines in service of the movie. Let M. Night get the concept down and then just do a rewrite... or a few.

Say what you will about M.Night. Hell, I do not like most of his movies. BUT Atleast he doesn't sell out and goes with his own vision. I can respect that.

I'm not gonna lie, I haven't been on this channel in a while and when I saw the thumbnail I was like "how long have I been away from this channel?" XD

In 20 years when young adults have no idea what it is this movie will become a cult classic. All of his old stuff will.

Jeremy has been SHAMALIZED with old age.

It would be funny if he kept the age filter in the whole video

I wonder if this will be trilogy: Old...Young....Middle Aged

Just throwing this out there: Projectionist is definitely the "cool guy" position in any movie theater place.

Should've had a newborn baby who has to go through their entire life in the span of the movie, might've been an interesting perspective

Me: “hm you can usually tell Jeremy’s opinion on a film based on his face in the thumbnail” *sees it* *jumps out of my seat*

I like how you brought up the lack of mystery in this movie, and how sometimes horror is better when questions are left unanswered. The original graphic novel never reveals why the people are aging rapidly on the beach. shyamalan saw that as an opportunity for a twist.

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.

I feel like M. Night needs a co-writer at times. Seems like most of his stories are great, but then get into a corner and don't know how to get out at times. just my opinon.

“Shyamalan made Unbreakable and Sixth Sense, surely he’s due for another great one, right?” flashbacks to The Last Airbender and The Happening… “Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.”

Watched it in the cinema a couple nights ago. By the end of the movie everyone was laughing at how terrible it was. A guy at the end said "well that was shit" and we all cheered in agreement.

“We were already getting divorced - don’t bring up an irrelevant medical issue” guess it will be relevant then.

So basically there’s all these people on a beach, and a lot of things are... happening

We need a “ruins” review now

What isn’t debatable is M’s vision with cinematography and editing. Always so captivating and I love the colors and pace of his films.

I’m happy to hear the love being shared for The Ruins. It is great, I’ve seen it twice and it holds up

Wait, people on a island that age quickly. Sounds like a episode of Gilligan's island.

At least he brings originality to his movies, whether they're poor or not.

Can’t stop thinking about this film. I enjoyed it mostly. Love the idea of Scientists playing games with people’s lives in order to justify saving millions more. Also a police man helping save the day at the end. Thank You. The camera tho couldn’t move smoothly while panning on the beach. It was like flickering around people and items. Wait. How come the bloody nosed rapper didn’t age over night on the beach?

Personally I liked it, the ending did remind me of the "Glass" ending, with the behind the scenes people. Not saying it was a brilliant movie but one I liked, sure it had bad script moments and humour etc but I still stayed engaged. I just feel too many people want perfect movies or absolutely amazing movies all the time.

I watched The Happening last night to prepare myself. Laughed, cringed, gasped but was glued to the TV. Shyamalan movies at the very least are unique. Really looking forward to this.

Jeremy: "now you know." And knowing is half the battle.

I’ll still never forgive Shyamalan for how he butchered the last air bender

The kids growing up so fast to have a child of their own is part of the theme of the story, so I don’t agree that you can just take the pregnancy scene out. I agree that the dialogue felt weird many times and there was plot holes and inconsistencies, but that particular scene was really good!

This movie made me want to go home and immediately take calcium pills.

There was no camera-punch at the end. Don't think we didn't notice!

Omg. Your thumbnail had me rofl. Enjoyed your video. I agree with you. The trailer gave it away.

I feel the important take away in this film is to have courage when facing your own mortality. Almost everyone panicked but the main family didn’t. The parents died but they had resolved their conflict. They died happy. The reason the two kids make it out a live is by appreciating the time they have left instead of giving into their fear and despair like so many of the other characters.

I’ll give the movie this much: it unsettled me in the self introspection of my own mortality that it induced. I’ve only ever felt like that after losing a family member or close friend. And the scene with the parents talking before they died broke my heart with it’s honesty. Very thoughtful stuff in a quirky film.

So this is what happens when Twilight Zone meets Gilligan's Island directed by M Night Shyamalan.

Always love your content. One of the best on KZfaq.👍🏾

I loved The ruins. I'll never forget the scenes when they start cutting the vines or whatever out of themselves

He’s like the Nicholas Cage of directors.

This movie seems like a worse version of the Grateful Dead arc in JoJo’s

I thoroughly enjoyed the movie personally. Kinda reminded me of old thriller movies that didn’t rely on sex, gore, violence to keep your attention because the strangeness of the situation they were in was enough to captivate. I would recommend it

Your intro graphics always reminds me of Jeremy Kyle talk show 😝. Keep up the good work pal awesome as usual

Just about everyone at our screening was laughing at all the “horror” moments. The part with the lady in the cave was hilarious 😂

I’m always just impressed with how effectively Jeremy is able to articulate his exact thoughts and ideas of a movie in such few words. Like you just always get what he’s explaining, and he only said a couple sentences about it.

The movie held my attention and I was entertained.

Regarding what you said about the less fortunate pregnancy, I actually found this really creepy and felt it added to the feeling of dread to the beach. When it happened, my girlfriend turned to me with the most disgusted face I've ever seen. It was priceless.

I went to see this one without seeing trailers and only knowing the basic premise. I was absolutely blown away by what I saw. This is easily one of the most bizarre, strange and intense movies I have seen in a long time. It did not effect me that much while I was watching it, but certain scenes have been popping in my head since I saw it over two days ago. It's almost like experiencing a nightmare in the sense that, nothing makes sense. I really had a twilight zone feeling here. By all means is this one of his best movies. It's, like I said, bizarre and almost me unconfortable.

The novel ‘The Ruins’ by Scott Smith is amazing, and far better than the movie. 💚

Oh yeremy yahns ya had me fooled. I thought you looked older from the thumbnail and here you are young and happy . What a miracle it is to be young .

I actually loved "OLD". It depicted that most of us "CAN NOT" escape our deterministic future (but only a few). It showed our perceived happiness in the present, and our naive perception of the future. It hit home, how short life is... well at least for me. From growing old and not maturing intellectually, from inevitable medical issues as we age, the important things in life and the trivial things, accepting our destiny/fate or keep trying to create your own no matter how difficult, from philosophical ethics in science research in order to save/help more lives by sacrificing others, relationships, discrimination, etc... Its a plethora of experiences, issues, science, philosophies, ethics, social, etc... beneath the surface of what is merely going on the surface of being in an environment of accelerated aging. After watching several of Shyamalan movies, I'm beginning to see how some of these odd dialogues are purposely deliberate. There's a rhythm and strategically enhance/placed at a particular moments. It leaves bad taste to some, particularly to viewers wanting perfection. But the reality is that, in real life situations, you will find most people saying odd statements/dialogues during stressful situations. Nevertheless, its something that doesn't bother me watching his films as I can relate to them.

Spoiler: Once it was revealed that they all had medical issues, I thought it was the insurance company finding an easy way to kill them and the food the kids ate had something to do with their rapid aging. So close, yet so far.

Introducing the sequel: “YOUNG”. 😂 and the third movie title: “INFANT”

I truly believe this should be in the "comedy" Genre. I found myself laughing so much during the better part of this movie

Thanks for the review, I watched it because it had Gael Garcia Bernal in it, such a great Mexican actor. I sure do like that you mentioned the job you had as a movie theater projectionist end it was the best job ever. That means a lot to people like me…H.M., Founder and Head Projectionist for Highway Cinema

I guess the pregnancy scene is supposed to be the “that’s F***ed up.” moment.

M thy shamalon has to be one of the most diverse directors ever you truly do not know what you're gonna get every time you watch his movies.

M. Night Shyamalan does this a lot - he has some intriguing setup but is unwilling to actually forge the story. He always underdelivers - in his movie Glass, he is pumping the last battle in the center of Manhattan in front of the world for 1,5 hours and then shows it in the hospital backyard. His series Servant was a constant "atmospheric" suspense build-up without a punchline. I'm starting to recognize his style.

The fact that the movie assumes I didn't notice that these kids' bathing suits automatically adjust to adult size, is already a complete deal breaker for me.

Now that Stuckmann has stepped down from doing reviews, I guess that makes Jeremy the king of reviews lol

The pregnancy scene was disappointing cuz I was expecting the baby to grow fast as well like a teen with a babies mind but it didn’t happen . but what I loved was during the her pregnancy , it was all a continuous take and I love when movies do that .

Your reviews are fun and cool while perceptive and thorough.

Saw it last night. It was an interesting idea and of course M.Night's movies are usually suspenseful and original.

I'm sad that Jeremy will be the only one reviewing movies now that Chris stuckmann is done with it. At least he's entertaining.

The Ruins is a great movie. I always recommend to by horror buddies.

I’m just glad the theater I went to played a preview of “Missouri Breaks”, starring Marlin Brando and Jack Nicholson before the film started…

It was cool that he touched on how every race ages differently as does the mind and body. Also the subliminal messages that were put in the movie. Ex: the woman’s makeup resembling a clowns face as she aged. There were a lot instances where he touched on social aspects of human nature as well. Ex: The most rational person at first (the nurse) who explained how impossible it’d be to swim against the oceans current, eventually lost all sense of ration and was the first person to attempt it (leading to his death). The movie was very well put together.

This was about a C+ for me saved by the final act. SPOILER: If the people are aging one year every 30 minutes why aren't the females having continuous periods?

To describe his movies as a loot box is accurate as hell. I'm like I don't know because it's a M.Night movie. But yet I'm curious to watch it because it's an M.Night movie it's a 50/50 gamble lol.

Shyamalan has a great conceptual vision, but a strange execution. Sometimes that's all you need, because at least you're curious. The writing took me out of the movie, but the emotional moments helped bring me back in. Seeing those parents talk as they accepted the state of themselves, it hit a chord. I left the theater thinking, and I think that's what he wanted.

Glad Jeremy is going to continue doing reviews.

I feel like Shyamalan can make good movies when no one expects anything of him. But when he gets a hit the success builds his ego back up and he produces another shitshow. Also sometimes he clearly doesn't give a fuck and thinks that it'll work just because he directed it (looking at you Airbender, the Happening, Devil and so on)

Shyamalan just need to understand that he needs screenwriters to enhance the quality of his scripts. He always has the unique high profile ideas( which is very rare in this remake/reboot era) but sometimes failed in execution just like Split and this Old. Common man by hiring writers who will help you in writing doesn't lead to decline in ur ego

You remined me of how fun it was to find a random movie you never heard of at Blockbuster and be completely surprised.

*Absolutely fell in love with this movie.* Personally for me, I’d say 8/10. It’s terrifying…and emotionally sad…and makes you realize what it means growing up and how much time you don’t have left with your family and loved ones. I usually HATE M. Night’s movies, but this one struck a chord with me. I feel like those who like thrillers with developed characters and emotional storylines on top of just constant thriller elements will like this (though don’t get me wrong, I still think this movie had pretty terrifying, disturbing sequences and deaths, especially the “hunchback” woman). I recommend it.

The bit with the Lady in the cave near the end was horrifying

9 years after I started watching Jeremy, he still delivers the most real reviews on KZfaq.

I haven't seen the movie yet but when Jeremy mentioned it was from a book, I got interested. Someone below said it was called "sandcastles" which was close but not 100% accurate. The "book" is actually a graphic novel called "Sandcastle" by Frederik Peeters and Pierre Oscar Lévy, if anyone is interested. There is a novel called "Sandcastles" by Luanne Rice, but it's nothing like the M. Night Shyamalan movie (I've haven't read either the book or graphic novel, just sharing what a quick Google search yielded).

I love thrillers and thought the movie was really good! Before watching it i was thinking it was gonna be something more sci fi like aliens or someshit, it kept me wondering wtf is going on, and how eventually gets explained in the end, is all i really want from a thriller! I want more movies like that!!

Why would the kids' clothes still fit when they became adults? I can't get past that.

The ruins is a really underrated movie

Beautiful review... 👏👏👏

Didnt know it was based off a graphic novel but I enjoyed the science behind it. It helped to watch it with two Physician Assistants who are well informed on health and could explain to me everyone’s disorders and how the health science behind each disorder works. We had a whole a conversation on the old man’s dementia and how realistic it was for how some get extremely violent. I enjoyed it for the health science but yeah the film plot was okay for someone who is not a health professional. I did like the twist at the end though of the pharmacy using these people as experiments to test their drugs though.
