Movie: The Old Ways
"The Old Ways" is a Spanish English language American horror film that was premiered at the Sitges Film Festival in 2020. The story revolves around a Mexican-origin reporter. She visited her birthplace to do research on tribal rituals. She got kidnapped by locals and the bruja told her that she was possessed by a demon.
The director blended a mixture of folk horror with exorcism. The visuals are great. But there is a huge lack in the character development of the protagonist. Many things are left untold. The storytelling could have been far better. The movie is unnecessarily slow. Some scenes are really gory. If you're a horror flick fan then you will find nothing new except the blend in this movie. You have already seen these things multiple times.
According to me, "The Old Ways" is an average film and a one-time watch.
