M. Night Shyamalan is back with his latest venture "Old" releasing in most countries this week. Shyamalan's return to the director's chair will also reignite the debate around the director's brilliance, as most of his movies get polarizing reactions from the critics and audience alike.
However, the initial reactions for Old have been somewhat favorable, especially regarding the direction and cinematography. It is still too early to judge Old as it has still not arrived in most countries. Shyamalan's works are more layered and twisted than they seem and require more attention.
This article will discuss the streaming details, release date, cast, and synopsis of the movie so viewers can have more clarity about the latest M. Night Shyamalan film.
