Universal Pictures has released the newest trailer forM. Night Shyamalan’s upcoming thrillerOld, inspired by the French graphic novelSandcastlebyPierre Oscar LevyandFrederik Peeters. It’s the latest trailer drop for Shyamalan’s return to the director’s chair since 2019’sGlass, featuring a conceit that puts a terrifying new twist on the very real fear of aging. The filmmaker has already been teasing the plot of the film left and rightvia set photosand an equally cryptic first trailer that aired during the Super Bowl.
The new trailer gives us a good indication of what Shyamalan’s return to horror will look like — even if it starts out with a happy family visiting a seemingly idyllic beach, there’s a lot of foreboding signs that their paradise will soon be shattered. Sure enough, the discovery of a dead body floating in the water is only the beginning — and the beach itself seems to have a strange effect on anyone who sets foot on it, aging them rapidly and without warning.
