THE OLD WAYS Review (2020) Horror Thriller
Daywalkers’ 2 Cents…
One of the better horror movies I’ve seen recently. It’s tightly paced and continually expands the story to incorporate more things than you usually see in movies that are just under 90 minutes. Simple premise but very well executed.
It’s the narrative of a woman haunted by her past demons. Unfortunately returning to her birthplace, in an attempt to face her fears, she changes those symbolic monsters into physical ones. She is then forced to confront the past that she has spent so long attempting to forget. During her battles with her now very real demons, she rediscovers not only her connection to her history, but also a new sense of purpose.
Everyone involved does an excellent job in this film, which manages to get you invested in all of the characters in a short amount of time. The majority of the action takes place in a small setting which allows the audience to focus on the relationships between the small cast of characters. Its intentional constraints never feels confining because of the descriptive dialog and skilled directing.
It’s a fascinating supernatural story with cultural overtones, while not being overly terrifying. If you love movies about demonic possession and exorcism then you will love this one!

3 years agoActors and cinematography was really good but the plot was the best. Trained in creating plots, I really wasn't sure what would happen. Great flick.

3 years agoFinally Netflix puts out a decent movie, apparently 🙄 lol. Getting great reviews so far. But seeing as 99% of Netflix produced movies are complete and utterly trash. The bar isn't very high… PLUS, "this isn't JEW, its what's inside JEW…" Gotta love it when actors are given roles and can't do a halfway decent accent. Lol. She is leaning a little too heavily on the Mexican speaking English stereotype. Reminded me of Cheech Marin in the old cheeck and Chong movies. With him playing an over the top Mexican stereotype. Except his was on purpose and hilarious.

@Gkm-
3 years agothis movie is a piece of Netflix trash. first of all the story is cheesy and predictable and the jumpscares cheap and lousy. yeah, representation of culture and all but the movie simply sucks not only as a horror film (which is what it should be) but as a general story.
