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.

Cath Clarke

Guardian

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.

Rated: 2/5

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.

Rated: 2.5/4

Los Angeles Times

A superior example of how flavorful dialogue, talented actors and excellent staging can make something familiar really pop.

Old Man is a unique thriller with what is arguably the best performance by Stephen Lang to date.

Rated: 6/10

Battleship Pretension

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.

Eye for Film

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.

Rated: 4.5/5

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.

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!!!

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.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

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
