Film Journal 2021 (130 movies items)"Shyamalan continues to be inept in creating tension out of a simple high concept. The (extreme, ugly) framing of shots in this film is sure going for an effect it never achieves. I suppose I was mildly entertained by the levels of nonchalant showcased by several characters throughout."

Shortly after arriving at the beach they realise they can't leave while more and more people keep dying or getting killed. Over very short amounts of time everyone on the beach rapidly ages. They try to uncover a way off the beach and why this is happening. This is the latest mystery thriller movie by M. Night Shyamalan.

Fall 2021 Viewings (35 movies items)"Viewing: 1st Format: Blu-ray Thoughts: I was eager to see this as it sounded like the batshit crazy kind of premise that I love, indeed it started off great and had a nice buildup.

Movies the giraffe watched in 2021: July (49 movies items)"First viewing - July 24th The kiddo and I caught Old on opening weekend, and overall we both enjoyed it. It's darkly fun, a little nonsensical perhaps but that's par for the course with Shyamalan. If you're willing to meet the film on its own terms and roll along with it, it works well enough. I liked its look into familial relationships versus time, and it's yet another reminder that when the locals tell you about a beach the tourists don't go to, your best bet is to give it a hard pass."
