We’re given some quite ludicrous scenes – someone getting pregnant and giving birth in a matter of minutes, people gurning a lot when they’re supposedly going mad etc All of that was still fun in a way, but… it felt like a wrong turn. Got a bit of entertainment, but I doubt I’ll see it again. |

I thought
Old was pretty good, definitely a level above
The Village, and it's a film that I've been meaning to rewatch for a while.
If you have a Netflix account then it is worth streaming. This may be a weird way to recommend a film, but it should provide enough weirdness to be interesting and wouldn't be a complete waste of 108 minutes.
