	Author	Review
United States	Meagan Navarro Bloody Disgusting	"It’s a technically well-made film emphasizing atmosphere and style, but the scares aren’t so effective, and its mysteries remain mostly inaccessible until the final moments (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"	NEU
Canada	Andrew Mack Screen Anarchy	"'The Elderly' is a mysteriously wicked horror that starts off as a tale of supernatural residency and influence on our grandparents. Hold on though, because Cerezo and Gómez have more in store for you - truly unexpected things"	POS
United States	Nick Allen rogerebert.com	"'Viejos' drags and drags until it reaches a conclusion, or an answer, that should be disturbing but amounts to a shoulder shrug"	NEG
Denmark	Karina Adelgaard Heaven of Horror	"It’s slow-burn at first, as we get to know the characters. However, I can assure you that the final minutes are all kinds of craziness (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Sharai Bohannon Dread Central	"'Viejos' is a disturbingly deadly chaotic ride. Whenever you think it has outdone itself, it goes bigger in its quest to leave you unsettled and terrified (...) Rating: ★★★★½ (out of 5)"	POS
	Marta Bałaga Cineuropa	"In the sweat-stained horror, the temperature is rising and so is the tension (...) The end is not as satisfying as what comes before, and feels oddly forgettable"	NEU
