Critics' reviews

"It's a good premise, but the director doesn't explore it so much as he throws ideas against the wall (...) 'Old,' even once you accept where it’s going, lacks shape and consistency"

Owen Gleiberman: Variety
"Viewers who can take it at face value may find a chill or two here, but ultimately 'Old' can’t escape the goofiness of its premise long enough to put its more poetic possibilities across successfully."

John DeFore: The Hollywood Reporter
"Shyamalan’s fluid filmmaking style (...) serves him especially well here (...) While Shyamalan is often cited for his tricky endings, it’s arguable that he doesn’t quite stick the landing with this one."

Glenn Kenny: The New York Times
"'Old' is fascinating and entertaining. It’s just too bad that it doesn’t age into its potential (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"

Brian Tallerico: rogerebert.com
"The lack of pressure to be anything other than a distinctly Shyamalan-ish horror movie makes old both a relentless terror and a comforting watch."

Scott Mendelson: Forbes
"'Old' isn’t so bad, except when it’s terrible (...) [Still] it’s nice to see Shyamalan doing a deranged one-off, taking the movie equivalent of an invigorating stroll in the sun"

Justin Chang: Los Angeles Times
"Even when his screenwriting choices are questionable as they are here, I can’t deny that 'Old' had me hooked even at its silliest, dumbest moments"
