      Luis M. D The movie uses the typical horror tricks and gimmicks right from the start. Yes, there is a good acting and a dark atmosphere but put in the service of a mostly trivial story with a ridiculous ending. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/02/24 Full Review Kayla B WOW from start to finish this was a trip, the entire time you are fairly unsure of what's to come next and the audience feels as conflicted as the main character. The ending was fantastic and I wish more movies had such a strong story line that truly keeps you captivated at every moment. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/07/24 Full Review tsepiso m This film carries forward a common horror movie concept which has been redone countless times, this in turn does make it quite predictable. Most of the film is spent in one room and the jump scares appear to lackluster. Nonetheless, the movie is quite interesting as it brings the protagonist into a very relatable situation and the film dabbles in the idea of tradition vs new customs/ideas. The acting isn't all bad and the movie does string viewers into the horrors quite well. I wouldn't watch it again but it's a good weekday watch with pizza and a blanket. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/21/24 Full Review Graham J I don't know how this movie got a 95% rating, but it was NOT good. The acting wasn't in any way believable, the plot was hollow and predictable, and the flick ran about 40 minutes too long. Save yourself the cringe, skip this one, folks. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/19/24 Full Review Charles D Vastly overrated, it's the same ol' same possession movie. The old way indeed. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/24 Full Review P B Just terrible dialogue! I couldn't make it all the way to the end of this rubbish 😒 Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com This is an inherently human story, grounded in the perception and heritage of its protagonists. Rated: 3/4 Dec 10, 2021 Full Review Scott Marks San Diego Reader It eventually picks up, but not before dragging us through a number of addiction tropes. Rated: 2/5 Nov 3, 2021 Full Review Meagan Navarro Bloody Disgusting When so many exorcism horror movies revolve around a crisis of faith, it's a welcome shift to center around the preservation of tradition and culture. It's a slick new coat of paint, complete with animal teeth, bones, and serpents galore. Oct 25, 2021 Full Review Tony Asankomah GhMovieFreak It brings a decent enough meaning to its title 'The Old Ways' whilst holding your attention and scaring you enough to make you not want to mess with old traditions. Rated: 6/10 Nov 21, 2021 Full Review Alejandro Turdo Hoy Sale Cine The Old Ways is a slow burn supernatural Horror tale that goes from psychological Thriller to full monster showdown. A story about passing the torch, about carrying on ancient traditions and keeping evil at bay at all costs. Rated: 9/10 Nov 12, 2021 Full Review Evan Dossey Midwest Film Journal A strong entry in the exorcism genre. Nov 6, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews
