M. Night Shyamalan has proven himself as a Hollywood God. He brought us stellar films like The Sixth Sense and Signs and blew our minds. He brought us The Village and solidified himself as my favorite director in the business.
Then something happened and he released Lady In The Water. I couldn’t figure out if I fell asleep or was abducted by aliens who told me to hate that movie. I tried watching it again and still wasn’t impressed.

The Happening was somewhere in between. I liked it well enough but it wasn’t Signs-worthy. That’s the slot that Old falls into. There were four of us at the premiere last night: two of us loved it and two of us were on the fence. We all dissected it on the way home and couldn’t come to an agreement.
There are great aspects to it, but on the other hand, there were some balls that were dropped. I feel it’s worthy enough to see in the theater, especially in Dolby.
Let me know what you think. I’m really interested in others’ opinions. Perhaps some of ya’ll can shed some insights on me that I may have missed. Enjoy your weekend and shoot us a comment on where you stand.

Got this back when I was pregnant, but I’ll be keeping it forever, it’s just so handy. I don’t go to the movie theater that often (even back before quarantine when you actually could…) but I make sure the app and the movie list are all current and updated, cause it’s so handy! It’s great for running late cause you can read their

summary, obviously awesome for bathroom or snack breaks mid movie, and I also love that it tells you if there’s anything after the credits which is very handy.View all reviews: Apple App Store | Google Play Store
Grade: C+
About The Peetimes: There are 2 Peetimes to choose from. I would say the 2nd time is the best time to go. The earlier Peetime is strictly for an emergency.
There are no extra scenes during, or after, the end credits of Old. (What we mean by Anything Extra.)

Don’t miss your favorite movie moments because you have to pee or need a snack. Use the RunPee app (Androidor iPhone) when you go to the movies. We have Peetimes for all wide release films every week, including DUNE part II, King Fu Panda, The American Society of Magical Negroes and coming soon Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, and Godzilla x Kong: The new Empire and many others. We have literally thousands of Peetimes—from classic movies through today’s blockbusters. You can also keep up with movie news and reviews on our blog, or by following us on Twitter @RunPee. If there’s a new film out there, we’ve got your bladder covered.
RunPee.com owes RunPee Sis a huge debt of gratitude. She sees any movie needed with no complaints and has done so for ten years (even basing Thanksgiving and Christmas family festivities around the seeing films). In 2015 Sis ran the entire RunPee enterprise herself, while RunPee Dan, Jilly and Mom went traipsing off to Europe. Sis is the spider in the web holding the RunPee family together — besides being a funny, well rounded person, and a joyous pleasure to be around. Her favorite films start and end with horror (which thank goodness she’s happy to see, since most of us don’t have the stomach for it) — but also likes silly comedies, sad dramas, and musicals of all types. If you’ve used a Peetime for a scary film, you probably have RunPee Sis to thank for it.
Favorite movie genre: Horror, horror, and more horror. The more disturbing, the better. Period.

I just watched the trailer and this looks super creepy. I’m really curious about it now. It seems a little like Bird Box and A Quiet Place.
