OLD (2021) SPOILER FREE REVIEW REACTION | COME WITH ME + Trailer Reaction | Spookyastronauts

[@HannahTheHorrible]

Emma always giggles when she gets back in the car no matter what movie it is and it makes me so happy

[@twocuteweirdos]

My friend was one of the main makeup artist on this movie and they had to pick and choose what gore they were going to show because of the budget, time, and crew available.

[@Poison_Spider8]

That’s so cool!!

[@missbluesea]

Lol! “It felt like Nicolas Cage should be somewhere on that island!” So hilarious! Say no more. 😂👌

[@kingxxlibra]

😂😂😂

[@spookyastronauts]

All comments made this video didn’t take into account The Happening… A film I refuse to acknowledge as a part of M.Nights work 😂😂

[@brinthorne]

I feel so much better now... like, "there's no WAY it could be worse than The Happening"...

[@TheGanem10]

The Last Airbender???

[@christiehimeroslacrimae6562]

As do I, as do I 😏!

[@georgeheilman885]

*in Mark Wahlberg voice* What? No. 😆

[@tbirdUCW6ReAJ]

Right! Never happened!

[@vaagai9808]

I like that Shyamalan always tries to do something different, it's either going to fly or crash. That's why I believe he is eventually going to do something again that's going to be a classic.

[@spookyastronauts]

Yep! I’ll be there each time hoping 🤞

[@bo2720]

Well said and so true

[@christiananderson4909]

I think we all temper our expectations regarding his films, at this point.

[@toshomni9478]

I"m not sure what you mean. This sounds like a complete departure, maybe due to the pandemic, and doesn't even have a twist in it apparently.

[@christiananderson4909]

@@toshomni9478 I was mainly referring to his over reliance on plot conceits than writing and characterization. He's very hit or miss, but the lack of a twist ending is certainly a departure.

[@psychokineticcorpse5997]

@@christiananderson4909 Well technically there are two twists but it provides the information to the audience pretty early on so it kinda feels like there isn't one? Spoliers ahead: Twist 1: the beach is used for a medical trial Twist 2: there was a way to leave the beach the whole time (Which is a departure from the original comic)

[@Weirder_the_better]

I'm definitely interested in the ranking of all his films but disappointed to hear that this could be your least favorite. I'm looking forward to seeing it, just to be back in the cinema again.

[@joeertman]

Agreed definitely want that video

[@joeertman]

@Petork92 I saw it two days ago, 5/10, the first half was hilarious with that dialogue. The second half fell flat for me tho especially cuz the main mom and dad got so annoying. I also wasn’t a fan of the way mental illness was portrayed, and Shyamalan tends to not handle that subject matter well. I felt so bad for the hot mom tho she had it the worst

[@lotharholzke2028]

Love that I’m watching this in the car outside the cinema, 30 minutes to going in and watching it.

[@ed_lufc98]

Enjoy the film dude

[@spookyastronauts]

Enjoy!

[@bo2720]

So what did u think ?

[@katefaber]

Yes, please rank all of his films!! Totally will see this, but might need to wait for streaming because our area is locking down a bit more right now. Thanks for the great review!

[@abaliagoob]

I love M . Night so much his movies are always a fun 'wild' trip. He's one of the few directors where you almost always know what you're gonna get and you can yell at the screen at home with your friends

[@discomfortfilms]

It doesn't sound like a glowing review but hearing you talk about how wild and awkward it is makes me excited to watch it this weekend. I enjoy every Shyamalan film except Last Airbender to varying extents and I love that he's making interesting original films again even if they don't always land.

[@custominorEZ]

I watched it yesterday and I enjoyed it. It was something new and I actually enjoy the Happening, there I said it 😂. I can always appreciate when something new is presented in cinema as opposed to something safe.

[@heidihaw8119]

I’m glad you mentioned how awkward and odd it was. There was just something weird about it. The way the one character just kind of stared off into space most of the time. Some of the interactions and dialogue felt really forced, and I couldn’t tell if it was intentional or just bad acting. And also the way something major would be happening and one character would just not be in the scene for no explainable reason. That being said, I really liked this movie. I was invested the entire time.

[@coolhive2941]

I’d love a ranking for Night films! As for this, I’ll wait for streaming.

[@Johnnyiswhere]

So we're going from "Old" to "Nope". What new horror genre is this?😅

[@jukie16]

I thought the same thing lol

[@danni761]

Her laugh when she got in the car 😂😂😂😂😂

[@BrandonLeeTalks]

Honestly I had a great time with this movie. But I definitely can understand how people wont. To me it's my second favorite M night movie. Alex wolf did such a great job. Solid 8/10

[@jukie16]

This makes me happy I really want to like it and I’m going to see it tonight

[@matthewbishop8395]

I just watched it and thought it was dogshit. Not to come across as rude but what did you like about it. Gueninely curious?

[@joeyeulo1489]

Loved when Emma gets all happy seeing the Antlers and A Night In Soho posters 😊 Saw Old tonight (first time at a movie theater since The Invisible Man) and REALLY liked it. Definitely agree that it won't be for everyone but I thought they did some extremely clever things with the premise and the "less you see" kind of scary things. Also thought the camera work was fantastic with angles and timing for reveals. Also, so happy to see a new Come With Me, always a favorite on the channel 😊

[@teodordygd906]

As soon as i saw Rufus Sewell was in it, i was sold. Criminally underrated actor

[@jeremylamb12]

First saw him in Dark City and now every time I see him in something it makes me happy.

[@WordUnheard]

He's great, just not in this movie. Spoiler: He's wasted as the cliche character who is overly aggressive, and is annoying as hell. Granted, there's a reason behind his aggressive behavior. But there was zero reason for the other characters allowing him to walk around with a knife throughout the majority of the movie.

[@eltel947]

I've just got back from seeing it. I liked the concept, bit like a 'Twilight Zone' episode. I enjoyed it, but it probably could have been a bit better. 6/10 from me.

[@juwls83]

I can’t wait for Last Night in Soho!

[@coreycasciano3255]

When does it come out?

[@cheyannelaliberte2731]

I want to see this movie. I read the graphic novel after seeing the trailer. But that doesn't really tell you what's going on. So I'm interested to see what the twist is in this movie. I'm gonna wait, though

[@ShevonnePolastre]

I love when you come in the car, you are always laughing

[@spookyastronauts]

😂😂

[@ThePriceisRightB]

Get in the car*...come in the car sounds wrong lol...jk with ya.

[@75jmm]

I just finally watched this on demand and I completely agree. The best word to describe it is awkward. It wasn't terrible, but I am definitely glad I didn't see it in the theatre.

[@kaycordingly2437]

I just got back and I had a great time with this movie! "WILD" is a very appropriate word! But to me that was a good thing. ^__^ There was some weird awkward choices though. Like in a very heavy scene towards the end, when the camera just decides to wander off instead of focusing on the characters. It goes back-and-forth between the ocean and the cliff and I was just like "...did a 5 year-old get ahold of the camera?"

[@spookyastronauts]

So many questions we will never get answers to 😂

[@gregkrazanski]

what? clearly time passes every time the camera leaves the characters and returns to them, i thought it was pretty elegant

[@kaycordingly2437]

@@gregkrazanski fair enough. I didn't catch that. I will have to re-watch and pay closer attention.

[@lizzieno6102]

When I was trying to watch Bookseller Honda-san on crunchy roll without signing in I had 2 adverts of the trailer every 2 minutes and “LETS PLAY HIDE AND SEEK” makes me flinch because it got me angry. BUT I’m stoked to see this.

[@9milasmine]

This was my choice for 1st movie back to the theaters after a year and a half. Despite the reviews, I trusted M. Night and he did not disappoint, I loved it. My family choose to see a better reviewed movie, The Green Night, trusting A24, and they hated it. I do not understand the reviews when it come to M. Night, so I never go buy them and I am always rewarded with a movie freaky and outside the box, but also one that makes me laugh and cry. He often leaves me feeling something genuine, and I know he purposely puts into his movies, love, understanding, faith and hope..

[@brightdreamsfilms3446]

i have (unfortunately) seen the trailer and even when i did i just got an "odd" feeling. like when the mother shouts "there's something wrong with this beach!" or when the son (Alex Wolff) appears and he says "Mom! i'm right here!", it all feels kinda robotic, exaggerated and Nic Cage-ish, and that interested me veeeery much, i can't wait to see it

[@haileygrey5047]

saaame!!

[@FeastMode277]

Along with avoiding trailers, I think it's a good idea to avoid cast list as well. One of the coolest moments in the movie was when they showed Alex Wolff and thomasin McKenzie. Especially with how long he made us wait to see them. There was another time where a twist was spoiled because the cast list revealed who that character really was

[@CarnageCandyy]

I enjoyed it. Definitely some stuff I wasn’t a super fan of but really entertaining for sure. Would love a ranking video

[@Itstiffanyevans]

I love when you react to the trailers! You now have me seriously considering not watching trailers anymore because it seems like a lot of the time they show too much. Love your channel!

[@margogoldfinch8728]

you got me at "it feels like Nicolas Cage should be there lurking somewhere". SOLD!! :-D :-D :-D

[@eu_o_andy]

I just wanna say I'm SO HAPPY that Antlers is finally coming out, can't wait to see it (even tho I have to see at home)

[@frenchmusic9271]

When is the VOD release?

[@plaid-a-puss]

I read the story it's based off of and it was good! I'm excited to finally get to see the movie someday.

[@thatchillingeffect]

You have such a conversational tone, I find myself wanting to interact with you, I love this about your videos :)

[@scottvigil3588]

You made a lot of the points I had issues with. Those aside one thing I DID like from the theater experience is some of those shots were beautiful. The shot composition and colors used were excellent! Another great review!

[@JackIvyGB]

It's really interesting that you described it like that as far as it feeling like M Night read the comic, being interested, and then just kind of cranking out a film version without a lot of passion. That is EXACTLY how I felt about his adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender. I have always told people that it felt like instead of watching the series, he just read the wikipedia article and churned out a movie version. It just felt kind of passionless and like it checked the boxes.

[@WelcomeToTheDarkside]

Good review I’m defiantly seeing a lot of mixed reactions to this movie, to be honest, some of his movies are a hit and missed for me but I'm still rooting for him and going to check out the movie.

[@evyvanm]

I still want to see it actually 🙈. And yes to an M night ranking!

[@Dreina917]

It’s still worth the watch cause it’s different and odd

[@Quest4Horror]

Personally I’m looking forward to watching this. Weird films are interesting to me. I loved the trailer.

[@SarahRenniexoxo]

I've just finished watching it and honestly I thought the acting was atrocious but I don't know if that was intentional with it being awkward like you said! The "reveal" I thought was a complete let down I mean it was okay but I was expecting big things with it being M. Night

[@blinddog1212]

Definitely going to check this one out! I like oddball films, so sounds like this one will deliver (plus, M. Night films always get people talking even if they aren't always solid films per se). Thanks for providing your impressions! Would love to see an M Night ranking video in the future. Stay safe!

[@heather_doestruecrime]

I’m that weirdo who refuses to watch movie trailers because I think it’s gonna spoil it lol can’t wait to show my mom the end of this video to prove it’s justified😂

[@chriscze6153]

Other than the sixth sense he never did anything that has meant much to me....I am not watching this but happy to see a spoiler review on Patreon!

[@RavenHouseMystery]

Thanks for the review, Emma. I think I will wait until DVD rental since the film sounds like an average M. Night one. We all know how hit and miss he can be in story, but his visual style is always a treat. If you ever decide to do a ranking of M. Night's films, I would definitely watch it and share my list in the comments as well.

[@leeryknight]

I wish I had as much self control when it came to avoiding trailers. I thought when watching the trailer for Old.. man.. seems like they are giving away a lot.. thanks for verifying this. Another great video!

[@spookyastronauts]

Thanks for watching!

[@banderson.a]

The antlers part😂 I cant wait for that to come out!!!

[@milvache]

Emma gave the best Old spoiler free review

[@silvermainecoons3269]

So happy that Antlers finally has a release date, been waiting for that one forever.

[@JurassicJoey17]

I think it’s really cool that you are in winter right now!!

[@toxicsugarart2103]

I’m hopefully seeing it tonight and I’m hyped dude. I’m ready for an experience, whether I end up actually liking it or not lol.

[@gelicainouza8481]

You've probably also watched Servant season 2. Curious to know your thoughts about that. I remember you did a review on the first season 🤗🤗

[@derekseven1647]

So this is what happens when Twilight Zone meets Gilligan's Island directed by M Night Shyamalan.

[@acciobecks]

Please do a ranking of his films! I will, however, wait for this to come out on VOD.

[@scottg9149]

I applaud you for not watching the trailer! I wish I hadn't. No wonder you thought it was so WILD going in completely blind! great reaction, I saw it last night and loved it. It was very M. Night.

[@spookyastronauts]

Oh I’m so glad!

[@bennyl.5]

You definitely had the same exact opinions about the movie that I had. It reminded me of a first draft of a movie, something that you take in to the execs and the test audiences and then you actually craft it into a working movie that actually works on all levels. It definitely is memorable, just didn't quite work, the pacing was off, was a solid first draft with an interesting concept.

[@amy_yoshikawa]

It's Okay Emma😅 I am one of the Very few who watches the trailer and forgets too easily in the next morning. I watched the first trailer like 2 months ago and didn't even remember much about it lol.

[@jukie16]

Same

[@poisonoracle]

I loved it. *mild spoiler alert* It felt like there were multiple levels to it - the concept itself, yes but also the more allegorical aspects of it - the futility of life, survival, vanity, love and in the end - simply enjoying the short time we have together (sandcastles?). The 'twist' was fairly non existent, but I kinda respected that. If a twist is expected, then it becomes somewhat more surprising to not have one, or at least not rely on it. I thought it was visually beautiful, a subtle yet well executed score. I certainly see that it is not a film without flaws, but overall I really, really did like this one.

[@woodsro]

Last night in Soho is my most anticipated film since last year! Old is BONKERS and I giggled all the way through. I do have to admit I’ve thought about the concept often since watching

[@MrAndy12878]

Felt the same about your comments #spookyastronauts Thanks for the ride along

[@aaronamador4841]

Thank you Emma You have answered my question about waiting 😂🤘🏼

[@MsBluheart]

Oh yes, please do an M Night ranking!!

[@markaitkenguitar]

Fantastic review. I’m late catching up on so many movies…. I totally share your post-film energy. It was a mess but I liked the mess! I couldn’t look away. “So bad it’s good”and “wtf” come to mind. I managed to never watch the trailer. Thank god for that. Modern trailers are ridiculously revealing. Thanks!

[@mattisimo]

The laugh at the 4 minute mark of this video says it the best.

[@horrorableshow]

Still think I’ll check this one out eventually! Great review!!! It’s funny how you said it reminded you of goosebumps because I heard he loves stuff like that. I heard the sixth sense was heavily inspired by an are you afraid of the dark episode (tale of the dream girl I think?) anyway! Awesome as always!!!!

[@spookyastronauts]

Oh wow ! That is interesting

[@horrorableshow]

@@spookyastronauts not like super interesting hahahah but that’s like the only trivia I know about m.Night hahaha

[@jonplaud]

I remember seeing the trailer and it looked great and then seeing the text "From the Director of Signs and The Village" and my smile disappeared instantly.

[@stratacatster3956]

I'll wait until it's streaming. I am still interested in seeing it even if it could be his worst, though several of his other films were disappointing to me.

[@bahreal]

Hey! I know this is a bit much of a question to ask. I like you everytime Emma just for the helps. But, I was wondering if you could put your letter rating somewhere constant in your reviews. I really just want to know first if you gave it an awesome score or not. Love your work! Thank you

[@spookyastronauts]

Hey! Films are scored by stars traditionally, not letters! It’s not a paper. This is how most scoring works! So 6/10 is 3 out of 5 stars!

[@ryanfrieman733]

I am looking forward to seeing this!!

[@D1210]

Oh no. You are so on point all of the time .

[@daniburns6369]

I really enjoyed this film! There were a few off things and it was very simple, but sooo entertaining. I'm glad I saw it in the cinema.

[@eu_o_andy]

I'm actually bummed that I watched your reaction to the trailer bc I had forgot the scenes and you said they showed too much and now I've seen them again aisfiuahfsua

[@spookyastronauts]

Oh no! I did warn ya!

[@juliekrocova]

Okay, so I probably need to lower my expectations :/ I'm still excited about the concept and knowing there's gore that's definitely a plus in my book. I'm seeing it tomorrow, still kinda can't wait

[@MartiniLuv49]

M Night ranking, YAAAAAS!

[@rebelody]

Learned from Possessed By Horror that M. Night likes to meet that PG13 rating, so I’m sure that’s why certain things weren’t shown, but definitely odd? The Nick Cage awkwardness is spot on. I was definitely slightly uncomfortable the whole time, but never frightened.

[@paullucas7053]

Thanks for the review. I am a big M. Night fan so I will probably see this one in the cinema. Really looking forward to Antlers! Keep up the great work; I always enjoy your reviews. 👏🏻😎👍

[@michaelm2618]

Did the characters purchase adult sizes of the same bathing suits while on the beach?

[@spookyastronauts]

Haha they half explain that

[@kelligray1848]

I totally agree with you. I like it alright but was mad the trailer showed so much.

[@HorrorMovieSyllabus]

I hope you do a Shyamalan ranking cuz I wanna know your feelings about all his movies. I love his movies but some of them are not good, so when you say you liked this one least that scares me a bit. Is it really worse than Lady in the Water?

[@thomasmurphy7618]

The graphic novel Sandcastle by Pierre Oscar Levy and Frederik Peeters was to me at best a C+ especially coming from people who have made way more experimental and cool stuff. Sounds like the film is about the same. But thanks for making it seem like not a complete waste of time.

[@kristenkalinowski2551]

It was based on a graphic novel called “Sandcastle” that M. Nights daughter bought him for Father’s Day and he liked it so much, he bought the rights to it and made this movie, so if you want more context from the source material there you go!

[@spookyastronauts]

I mention the novel :)

[@kaylakinney5954]

I read the graphic novel it was based on last year. I'm wondering how true it is to the source material. I'm probably going to hold off until this one's on VOD to find out. It's a bummer how hit or miss his films can be because he's made some incredible ones. Maybe he should stick to original ideas instead of adaptations?

[@gusseDSX]

Entertaining trainwreck of a movie! Good premise, a couple of good scenes but as a cinematic experience this did not work well for me. The majority of the storytelling was so talkative and heavy handed they might as well call the movie Exposition. BUT - I could not look away, and there was a feeling of the movie being bonkers enough to go anywhere so I had a fun time watching it. Pretty sure this would be twise as fun with a bunch of friends and a drinking game.

[@i_Lupercalia_i]

You know how in those old sitcoms they have the person who stuffs up everything or makes a fool of themselves and everyone goes "Oh, you!" To scold them? M Night is basically the embodiment of that cliche. All of his movies just make you go 'Oh, M Night!'

[@JoaquinGonzalezSmilingalways]

Thank you for the movie review. 😃👍🏼🍿

[@MormoZine]

Can't wait to see this! Great review!

[@MexlycanFilmico]

I think is a good idea for you to know at least what's the movie gonna be about or watch the trailer before watching the actual movie. That way at least you got a slight idea of what is going to be about.

[@Klaoloam3864]

I've been looking at the poster all over the tube and genuinely thought it was an advert for a sunscreen!

[@Corn_Pone_Flicks]

Well, darn. After Split and Glass I'd been hoping that maybe he'd gotten his mojo back a little, but if you think it's his worst film-and this man made Lady in the Water-then I'm preemptively disappointed.

[@georgeheilman885]

I've seen the trailer a few times in front of other films and I'm not surprised the latter half is riddled with spoilers. It felt that way watching it. When cinemas here reopen in 100 years, I'll watch it on a cheap ticket. Just to say I have.

[@LisaLoves]

That’s 3 for 3 reviews who are all disappointed and all Shymalan fans. I’ll still go see it but I wonder when he will return to form.

[@wonderyearsdouche475]

Hey miss🙂✌️Awesome review, everything you do is Awesome. Great Success!❤️

[@serian24]

Emma!!! This is amazing! I love your trailer reaction, will you be doing more of those? I must say my least fave mdawg films are Lady in the Water, the village and the happening. Can't wait to see your ranking!

[@spookyastronauts]

I can only do trailer reactions for universal picture films as they don’t copyright strike me 😅

[@SlenWash]

Will your M. Night ranking include Praying with Anger and Wide Awake?

[@RandomHorror]

Oh I'm still going to see this.

[@Nexils]

I hear so many mixed things. Our local news paper gave it a 1 out of 5 and just butchers it in the review. Which I think can be easily dismissed because they make weird errors every now and then in their reviews. I suppose I'll see for myself next week.

[@ed_lufc98]

Ngl, I’ve been waiting for this. So glad I found your channel, your videos are awesome!

[@tangerinemisfit]

Without spoiling it I think M. Night’s intention of the film was kinda of does the means justify the ends? Again, can’t say too much without spoiling it but those that have will get where I’m coming from. The “twist” (more of a reveal?) probably the most interesting part of the movie. More of an “oooh…(raised eyebrows) then the “OMG!” of the Village or Sixth Sense. 5.5/10 - lots of potential in the concept that suffered cos he wanted a PG/13 and skimped on the horror and gore. Didn’t hate it but felt a bit let down

[@dizzy_star]

It’s the cackle at 3:49 for me.

[@davidk3184]

I'll wait untill it's streaming, but will definitely see it. Reserving my return to Theatres for Halloween Kills or the new James Bond. Think this one looks pretty good though - also...every movie should at least have a small Nicolas Cage cameo 😂 Thought Colors out of Space, Mandy and Willy's Wonderland recently were all pretty damn fun.

[@omayraperales6514]

Excited to watch it tonight ♥

[@spookyastronauts]

Enjoy!

[@Nickolanious]

Watching you react to that trailer had me cracking up oh my god
