“Old, for its part, is quintessential Shyamalan of The Happening mold, a slick, amped-up B movie that hardly ever gives away that it’s in on the joke.”~Clint Worthington, Consequence

Aroview: Thriller from director M. Night Shyamalan (THE SIXTH SENSE) about a family on vacation at a luxury resort who discover that the secluded beach they're on is somehow causing them to age rapidly, and experience their entire lives in a day.

This reverse Benjamin Button conceit is delivered in quintessential Shyamalan style. Ridiculous, creepy and undeniably entertaining, any opportunity for existential comment is lost to the familiar parade of genre thrills and chills.
