Old (2021)

Definitely original, beautiful message underneath, but it falls short on the fun aspect.

[6/10 · 27 September 2021]

I like all the actors and actresses that starred this movie, the director, although not always on the bright side, is also a favorite of mine. So I stepped into this movie with a open mind and high expectations. I can't say I was disappointed, because it had some kind of impact on me, but for me it lacked the dark mysterious tone Shyamalan puts in his movies. Mostly it is a drama disguised as something trying to be gruesome and scary, which is ok... many great horror movies are dramas deep down, like the conjuring trilogy for example, but they are also scary and disturbing, and Old just didn't brought that to the table in my opinion.

Martyrs Lane (2021)

Very good dramatic ghost movie

[7/10 · 20 September 2021]

I found the movie to be very good, the acting of the main protagonist was formidable for her young age. It's a slow burn, demands patience, but delivers an emotional finale.

I wouldn't recommend it for the scary part, specially if you are a hardcore horror fan, but if you like movies with a gloomy, dark atmosphere, mystery and ghosts, you might enjoy this one!

7/10!
