The whole family came to the quiet and leisurely sunny beach, but suddenly found that the children grew up in a blink of an eye, and the parents grew old in a blink of an eye?
The famous horror mystery film director M. Night Shyamalan’s new work “Old” attracted the attention of the audience with novel ideas.
Why can this mysterious beach make people grow old quickly?
What secret is hidden behind this?
With all kinds of questions, “Old“, released on July 23, will take the audience into an incredible science fiction story.
Although many of the things that happened in the film seem difficult to explain, the visceral fear that it brings to the audience is very real.
Because anyone is afraid of aging and death from illness, especially within a day!
“Old” is based on the French artist Frederik Peeters’ short-film illustrated novel “Sandcastle”.
A couple in divorce decided to take their children for the final “family trip.”
At first, they were attracted by the island’s high-quality hotel services and beautiful tropical landscape.
But suddenly one day, the hotel manager introduced them to a beach that no one usually knows about, where there are few people but the scenery is pleasant.
After the family and several other groups of passengers came to the beach, they began to enjoy the sea and sunshine, but a female body was surprised to see on the surface of the sea!
At the same time, the old man who came suddenly fell ill and died.
The children who came suddenly became teenagers, and even a tumor in the belly of a lady grew up instantly. . .
Everything happened suddenly, everyone was stunned, but when they tried to escape, they found that there was a mysterious force in the rocks and the surrounding sea that prevented them from passing through.
At the same time, they also found that there are many items left by other tourists, including diaries.
The diary records other people who were brought here and trapped. Is there any conspiracy behind all this?
Although each character in the film is at a different stage of life, they are all affected by rapid aging.
The rapid growth of children makes them unable to accept all kinds of information in their brains and the effects of hormones, and they will do a lot of impulsive things.
Some middle-aged people who already have a disease are getting worse.

Everyone quickly completes their lives in one day. There is no time to experience and experience, and they can only wait for death to come.
“Old” shows all kinds of unexpected ways of death, and fully embodies people’s fear, confusion, and bewilderment in the face of sudden aging.
Before facing death, the characters in the film realized that they had not cherished life and the people around them well.
A short day trip to the seaside gave them a lifetime of insights.
Director M. Night Shyamalan was famous for directing “Six Sense” before, and later directed the superhero-themed horror films “Split” and “Glass“.
He is known for his novel ideas and good at creating an atmosphere of horror through non-violent and bloody scenes.
Most of his films are PG-13 graded and rarely show horror shots directly.
But under the rendering of the soundtrack, it often makes people’s back cool in unexpected ways.
“Old” was filmed in “The Dominican Republic”. Because of the hurricane on the island, all the movie scenes were swept by the hurricane.
However, after some setbacks, it will finally be released in theaters on July 23.
“Old” is currently receiving extreme reviews on Rotten Tomatoes.
Some film critics believe that the scary thing in the film is not the aliens, monsters or ghosts that people are familiar with.
This is not only familiar and resonant, but also innovative in the thriller, and it is the most in-depth film directed by Shamaran.
However, some film critics think that although “Old” is well conceived, there are still many unexplainable or excessively exaggerated points when it is presented.
In particular, the director likes to sometimes only shoot part of a character, such as deliberately not showing the whole picture of the child.
After that, the audience was allowed to see the child grow up suddenly, which seemed to be a surprise, but it seemed very deliberate.
However, the “Old” notice is enough to arouse the interest of many people, and they want to know what causes these people to age rapidly.
On the other hand, the film first fully created the beauty and comfort of a vacation, and then suddenly staged a nightmare encounter.
This allows people who want to travel but can’t go out can use this film to temporarily dispel the idea of vacation.
