What to Know

Critics Consensus

Stephen Lang is as magnetic as ever, but his finely layered performance isn't quite enough to distract from Old Man's predictable story.

2/5
An unexceptional psychological horror from director Lucky McKee that feels dated and clunky, with some fairly ropey acting – or maybe that is down to the shaky lines put into the actors’ mouths. Go to Full Review

2.5/4
The movie builds up enough steam, and has a sufficient supply of jolts, to make Old Man stick to the ribs at least a little by the time it’s over. Go to Full Review
Noel Murray Los Angeles Times 10/14/2022
A superior example of how flavorful dialogue, talented actors and excellent staging can make something familiar really pop. Go to Full Review

Old Man is a unique thriller with what is arguably the best performance by Stephen Lang to date. Go to Full Review
David Bax Battleship Pretension 06/13/2023
If you’re looking for a traditional horror movie with reliable frights doled out in a recognizable pattern, well, McKee’s name alone should have been warning enough that you’re in the wrong place. Go to Full Review

4.5/5
McKee’s camera, which moves around like a living presence and always seems to be on the brink of discovering something terrible, makes it impossible to relax for long. Go to Full Review

Jul 2 Stephen Lang stars in a film titled the same as his recent roles. Old Man is boring, wordy, and unenjoyable. The movie feels claustrophobic within the four walls of a cabin in the woods, and the editing is sloppy. The acting is mediocre at best, and the ending is unsatisfactory. Old Man isn't worth watching. See more Mar 28 Sayang oras. Puro daldalan kaya ang bagal ng kwento na halos halos makatulog ako See more Ian H Jan 4 Some very good bits, some not so good bits but overall enjoyable and occasionally thought provoking See more Mark G 09/09/2024 New to the review scene here but have been living it ever since I was a child, over 40 years ago... Well, my childhood's returning and it's time to start chiming in. I hope you'll enjoy the reads along the way, and I'll always provide my best not to lead astray!!! I no longer read reviews or descriptions of films before experiencing. I will only go in knowing the title, genre, and possibly some of the cast... Although some may say predictable, I would like to suggest that within that sense it captivates the emotional reality of defeat, isolation, guilt, pain, and loneliness with that subtle simplistic perfect hint of fantasy that leads to your own imagination and interpretation. Instead of a "straight road" or a "left or right turn" ahead, it leaves the viewer with plenty of paths and possibilities... A bit tough at times, but this really hit home for myself on so many levels! It's not just another typical "cabin in the woods" horror film!!! See more Ricardo d 09/04/2024 Um bom filme que certamente seria ótimo ver numa peça teatral. Temos aqui uma claustrofobia de uma cabana, e a energia de boas atuações. Aliás o filme se baseia exclusivamente nas atuações, pois não temos nada para nos distrairmos. Como filmes de suspense antigos de Alfred, que se desenrolam lentamente, e que no fim não sabemos ao certo se o que estamos vendo é a verdade nua, ou se tudo não é um simbolismo, como no filme Mãe. See more Scratch K 09/02/2024 Actually a really good movie but docked it a star because of the excessive profanity. As a Christian it really bothers me to hear God's name in vain. This movie did it excessively and it added nothing to the plot. So why? Why keep saying it? That I find ridiculous See more Read all reviews
