Old Blu-ray, DVD, 4K coming in October

Last Updated on September 14, 2021

The physical media release of Old, the latest thriller from writer/director M. Night Shyamalan, is scheduled for October 19th. Amazon is currently taking pre-orders for Blu-ray, DVD, and 4K copies of the film – so if you want to secure a copy and have the movie to watch at home this Halloween season, head over to THIS LINK.

I missed out on Old‘s theatrical release back in July, so I can’t vouch for the movie myself. Our reviewer The Iceman gave the film a 6/10 review you can read HERE.

Inspired by Pierre Oscar Levy and Frederik Peeters’ French graphic novel Sandcastle (pick up a copy HERE), Old is about 

a family on a tropical holiday who discover that the secluded beach where they are relaxing for a few hours is somehow causing them to age rapidly… reducing their entire lives into a single day. 

Sandcastle had the following description: 

It’s a perfect beach day, or so thought the family, young couple, a few tourists, and a refugee who all end up in the same secluded, idyllic cove filled with rock pools and sandy shore, encircled by green, densely vegetated cliffs. But this utopia hides a dark secret. First there is the dead body of a woman found floating in the crystal-clear water. Then there is the odd fact that all the children are aging rapidly. Soon everybody is growing older — every half hour — and there doesn’t seem to be any way out of the cove. 

The film’s cast includes Gael Garcia Bernal, Thomasin McKenzie, Alex Wolff, Vicky Krieps, Ken Leung, Nikki Amuka-Bird, Abbey Lee, Aaron Pierre, Rufus Sewell, Embeth Davidtz, Eliza Scanlen, Emun Elliott, and Kathleen Chalfant.

Old is a Blinding Edge Pictures production. Shyamalan produced the film with Ashwin Rajan and Marc Bienstock, and Steven Schneider served as executive producer.
