		Alix Turner Ready Steady Cut	"The Old Ways is a very well-made film, written with understanding and presented with care. It’s creepy, gruesome in parts, has an intriguing story and fascinating basis in lore (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"
		Richard Whittaker Austin Chronicle	"Beyond surprising thematic depth, 'The Old Ways' is an exercise in putting every cent on the screen, and hiding what you don't need (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Michelle Swope Dread Central	"'The Old Ways' is a fresh take on the possession subgenre (...) Brigitte Kali Canales gives a phenomenal performance"
		JK Sooja Common Sense Media	"This fantastical, bloody, and winsome horror movie thrills from start to finish (...) A refreshingly simple and taut take on the exorcism horror genre (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
