M. Night Shyamalan gets lost with the wildly unhinged thriller 'Old,' but the result is strangely fascinating.
Watching “Old” will take about four years off your life — or just under two hours, depending on which way you’re reading your trusty temporal-wormhole conversion chart. The movie, you see, follows a group of unfortunate vacationers who get stuck on a private beach, where they fall victim to an alarming, irreversible, inexplicable process of accelerated aging. Did I say inexplicable? How silly of me.
That’s a good thing, since the clock is already ticking for Prisca and Guy , the attractive, unhappily married couple we see arriving at a tropical island resort in the opening scenes. They’re calling it quits and taking one last family vacation together with their kids, Maddox and Trent , who are 11 and 6, but not for long.
And “Old,” adapted from Pierre Oscar Lévy and Frederik Peeters’ graphic novel “Sandcastle,” is just getting started. How to describe the long, noisy, stabby, increasingly unhinged passages that follow? “Gilligan’s Island” as reimagined by Luis Buñuel? Ed Wood’s “L’Avventura”? “The Curious Case of Benjamin Beach Bum”? I’m spitballing here, and so, on some level, is Shyamalan.
