The Old Ways

The movie uses the typical horror tricks and gimmicks right from the start. Yes, there is a good acting and a dark atmosphere but put in the service of a mostly trivial story with a ridiculous ending.

WOW from start to finish this was a trip, the entire time you are fairly unsure of what's to come next and the audience feels as conflicted as the main character. The ending was fantastic and I wish more movies had such a strong story line that truly keeps you captivated at every moment.

This film carries forward a common horror movie concept which has been redone countless times, this in turn does make it quite predictable. Most of the film is spent in one room and the jump scares appear to lackluster. Nonetheless, the movie is quite interesting as it brings the protagonist into a very relatable situation and the film dabbles in the idea of tradition vs new customs/ideas. The acting isn't all bad and the movie does string viewers into the horrors quite well. I wouldn't watch it again but it's a good weekday watch with pizza and a blanket.

I don't know how this movie got a 95% rating, but it was NOT good. The acting wasn't in any way believable, the plot was hollow and predictable, and the flick ran about 40 minutes too long. Save yourself the cringe, skip this one, folks.

Vastly overrated, it's the same ol' same possession movie. The old way indeed.

Just terrible dialogue! I couldn't make it all the way to the end of this rubbish 😒

Refreshing take on the traditional possession movie.

I loved it, it was terrifying and refreshing!

I don't understand why the audience didn't like this movie, I thought it was awesome. I really liked the ending and all the themes running through. I found it quite compelling.

Horrible from start to end. 1.5 hrs of my life which I will never get back. It would have been better to stare at a blank screen. God knows why this was tagged under the horror genre.
