The graphic novel has a MUCH darker tone than the film. Everyone is killed/aged to death without ever finding a way out or any explanation as to what is happening. It ends with an old woman (the baby, who survives in this version) alone, with the cognitive ability of a toddler, building a sandcastle before she undoubtedly dies next.
@@Makafushigi yeah, that was so dumb, Big Pharma (any corporation really) finds a magic beach where time accelerates biology, and their conclusion is "perfect testing setup"?!
The graphic novel is so much better than the movie. Unfortunately, it is now a pattern with M. Night Shyamalan. His latest movie (Knock at the Cabin) was also kind of disappointing compared to the original book (Cabin at the End of the World).
16:13 I remember watching this in theaters back then and noticing how the camera work made the characters seem that much more helpless and almost inconsequential. They don’t even have the power to hold the attention of the shot, much less change their fate.
i love the dramatic irony of 18:00, where guy cant quite make out what's coming towards him because of his failing vision, so he calls out to prisca for help, who doesnt notice him because of her failing hearing
M. Night is the only director to consistently create bad, decent and incredible movies throughout the years but it’s still got his own intuitive quirks that shine for better or worse.
It seems like regardless of which movie it is, there will always be some people who legitimately enjoy them. I'm sure there were a few people who never saw the actual show who liked Avatar.
“The beach that makes you old” is my favourite minor meme. It never had like a moment of virality, as far as i can tell it started with one tiktok that wasnt even exceptionally popular, and just slowly spread.
12:25 this line is heartbreaking to me for some reason. trying to process insane trauma like a therapist but it's in the most uncontrolled environment possible and you're holding a dead baby in your arms
Crystal still has the most gruesome bloodless death I've ever seen. Also, I can't help but feel bad for Trent and Maddox. They missed out on their entire childhoods and the chance to have families of their own, and now they're stuck as old people with the intellect of children. All because of big pharma.
Their wisdom was still able to stay with their ages though. Unfortunately they missed all the secular knowledge that they would have gained through middle school and high school, therefore, it would still be hard for them to function as middle-aged adults back in the real world.
@@dethincarnate1149 What death are you refering to cause I'm pretty sure all of them have blood? I could be wrong tho it's some time since I saw the movie.
It seems like their intelect also develops with their age unlike in the comics. They don't have the children mindset they just age too fast that they had no time to properly learn how the life work thus the stuff like pregnancy scene happen.
I remember Foundflix mentioning that. They also said one of the workers talking to the director about keeping psych and physical cases separate as the doctor killing the rapper messed up the studies on the medications by killing Sedan. Director said he would bring it up to the higher ups.
I don’t remember if the director was said to say this or if Foundflix guess it, but the request most likely wouldn’t have gone through even if they weren’t shut down anyways
The French Comic that OLD is based off of is very different. The baby the kids have lives. When everyone has just a few hours to live, the Turkish guy among them tells them a story that amounts "don't worry about death, just live for now." Everyone dies but the baby grows to be a 50-year-old woman who spends the final pages building a sandcastle and grieving her parents
Shyamalan's bizarre style of dialogue needs to be studied. I can't decide if it more resembles aliens trying to mimic the flow of human conversation, or if he writes his characters to all collectively be having a stroke. EDIT: I'm obsessed with the comic panel at 1:16 that says "I HIT THE MENOPAUSE AFTER 14 HOURS"
Honestly I found it a little weird that James talks about how stilted and on the nose the dialogue is like this is new problem from Shyamalan that people haven't been noticing and mocking since Signs.
I think he's just straight up bad at directing people. It feels like he wanted to have each line read as if it were completely isolated, so he could just cut and edit around every single line. It makes the entire thing just sound absolutely absurd. No-one even comes close to talking over one another at any point in the film, even when they're angry or scared. They all still talk as if they had to wait to hold the talking stick.
@@6022 I agree. My sister saw this movie and commented on how bad the acting was and I had to tell her that it probably wasn't their fault because Shyamalan has this weird ability to make his actors embarrass themselves
I think it works great for characters like Mr. Glass, Kevin Wendle Crum, and the Grandparents in the visit. Those characters are mentally insane so when they say shyamalan's weird dialog it works because those characters are weird.
I think a better plot twist is that the island makes you really young, but you keep all your adult knowledge, and it turns out this island created boss baby.
That’s honestly a really fascinating concept for a horror movie. While they try to find an escape, the older people must watch as their children de-age until they’re literally fetuses that can’t survive outside of the womb. It ends with only the grandmother being alive, except now she’s 20 something.
On the other side of the world is a beach that makes you young, just you balance out the energy sapped from the beach that makes you old. Good grief, whoever owned that island would be both king of the world and public enemy #1. The amount of money people last to just look young is absurd!
"So, I went to the beach that makes you old." "You went to the what?" "The beach that makes you old." "The beach that makes you old?" "Yeah man, the beach that makes you old."
“Excuse me?” “I got to tell you about this beach, it made me old” “You have to know that’s not possible” “Look at me man, I’m old as hell, and it’s cuz I went to the beach that made you old”
the biggest plothole here is that if the baby already died from starvation because so much time has already passed quickly, then shouldn't EVERYONE died already because they've technically haven't eaten in years?
So, the original book was about a beach that made you old, and was a metaphor for the impermanence of our own existence, and it was called 'Sandcastles'. There is perhaps no better way to demonstrate the level on which M Knight understands the story than him choosing the title 'Old'.
Might seem reductive in this case, but I respect his commitment to keeping that titling style for most of his films. If you look at them all together, this one fits right inside the pattern of being the shortest possible, most straightforward one-word descriptions of the plot. Lady in the Water and Knock at the Cabin are the only true exceptions, for some reason. I bet he even would've titled TLA just 'Airbender' if it had been his choice lol
"Hi, I'm Trent, what are your names and what do you do for a living?" this genuinely floored me dude how has this guy ever been nominated for anything ever
Is it weird that a channel dedicated to counting kills in horror movies actually help me with my depression? I found dead meat years ago while I was living in my flat, and I would watch every episode again and again, to forget the bullying and abuse I suffered at the hands of my neighbours. Dead Meat has become my comfort channel, if that makes sense to anyone
It's not weird! Horror is very cathartic and this channel is full of positivity. They helped me the same way, especially the podcast reigniting my love for the genre
I'll never board the hate train for this movie. I wandered into a viewing of this movie with no warning because someone else was watching it, and went in totally and completely blind having no idea what it was and missing the first few minutes. Rocked my world for an hour. Incredible experience. Living in a world where you never look into anything ahead of time and just take every movie as a surprise, and genuinely don't care what anyone else's opinions are, is great. Would recommend.
4:08 although, according to the youtube channel "how to beat", the resort's name is actually a hint that something sinister is afoot - because Anamika basically translates to "without a name" in hindi. a resort wouldn't brand themselves without a name or identity, and that alone tells us that they might be hiding something.
Or, yknow, they just picked a random name without caring about the meaning in another language. Like that one company that literally named themselves "Nonce", not being aware of the word's meaning 😅
I know there's no real point nitpicking a film like this on 'that wouldn't happen'-s, but... how did the pharmaceutical company think their whole plan was supposed to work? We don't just trust pharma companies to work out on their own if something's safe and then wander up to the FDA like "Oh, yeah, this is definitely ok. You can approve this one." I want to see the scene where they're applying for approval and they try to say that they don't need to go through any of the regular stages of testing their drugs because they did illegal human testing on a sample size of one on a magic beach, and they know it works because they were watching through a telescope.
It might depend on which government they went through. If they can get their foot in one door, other countries might at least run their own trials on it without questioning the origins, maybe? I'm not knowledgeable in this area, but there usually seems to be some corporate workaround.
It’s not that the drugs are ready for approval, it’s that the company knows they will be approved. They don’t have to risk spending money on dead ends, or risk surprises like fen phen (the drug that gave ppl heart attacks). Everything that comes out of this is solid so they can just go through the normal procedure knowing they will be successful.
@@blardfip4540 Well, true, fen phen did injure many people, and even has some confirmed deaths. It was also prescribed 18 million times, so if you got 18 million people on the beach, their plan is flawless.
Afaik, FDA doesnt actually certify your drugs are effective, only that it's safe to consume. That's why quack medicines dependent solely on placebo gets FDA certification.
Thank you James for the new video to watch. I was hospitalized friday and kill count is exactly what I needed. Your videos are like comfort food entertainment when I need them.
I was 16 when this came out and it was the first movie I watched in theaters alone. This lovely elderly couple got tickets too. As we were about 15 minutes early and the only ones in the theater; I overheard the wife asking her husband if they should ask if I would like to sit with them and being generally worried about me being alone. Her husband assured her that I would be fine and they could keep an eye on me as I was two rows in front of them. It was so sweet!!!
I’m with James, I kinda love this twist. It’s very dark and very clever. I’ve never read the graphic novel, but honestly, I’d love to see this concept in a miniseries.
Time for the ultimate challenge: Take a shot every time James says "the beach that makes you old." You'll feel like your liver's aged 80 years by the end of it.
I don’t know, this has become something of a comfort film for me. It’s genuinely really easy to follow and entertaining even if I’m busy with something else lol
Gael Garcia Bernal is an underrated actor with a diverse acting style. I enjoyed him in "Amores Perros" and "Babel" and especially in Werewolf By Night which Dead Meat covered a few years back.
welcome to the shot count, where we tally up the number of *(lemon soda shots)* that I can chug down everytime the word "the beach that makes you old" is said during the entirety of this kill count Edit: for those that are wondering / worried though, don't worry: I didn't actually chug down lemon soda shots: I went for water instead during the watch-through of this kill count. But please, binge watch and drink responsibly - for the last thing you would want to worry about is getting a hangover after that watch-through... 😵💫
Or, rather "Welcome to Drunk Kill Count, where we drink watching Kill Counts and tell you what we learned from 'em. This week's Kill Count, released in 2024, is for M. Night Shyamalan's Old, featuring the beach that makes you old! Today's drinking game comes from @brandongamingtv7545, who says to drink every time James says 'the beach that makes you old.'"
I don't know if you're even going to read this, but your channel got me into horror. To the point now, that I'm trying to go to a film college, to become a director of films, so that I can start making movies. I'm working on a short series right now, that I hope to someday post on RUclips. So thank you for being a big part of my life, and opening my eyes to my favorite genre of movies. It really means a lot to me. When I become a director, and release my first movie, I plan on having a special thanks to you and everyone that helps you with this channel. - Amon Brando, fellow horror lover.
12:10: “Kara’s Baby 51 Mins In Died From…Lack of Attention?” They straight up say the baby died of starvation. A baby requiring nutrition every 3 hours in a place where a year passes in 30 minutes? Yeah, she starved that fast.
@@BM-wh5qk Yeah, but they did mention there was food. It's true that it's not properly shown that they were eating, but they did have food specifically for that reason. But an adult, and even a kid of 6 or whatever she was at the beginning, can handle going a few "days" without food while the brand-new baby would not. Especially since mother's milk would be all they would have she could consume and the daughter didn't have time to try nursing at that fast a pace of time passage.
This would a wonderful premise to do a one off drunk Disney type video. Do “drunk kill count”, James, Chelsea, zoran, and gressiel(totally spelled that wrong) as disembodied hands get drunk to a kill count video with repeated jokes
Last night was one of the worst nights of my life. I woke up at 4:00 in the morning in a bad mood and I couldn’t get back to sleep. Thank you for uploading, James. It helped
Sending hugs your way. I hope you're doing better, but if not, just know that you are seen and we're all cheering you on! There's only so much you can do, but I hope that you find some relief from whatever is troubling you.
I’m having an awful day, my grandmother is dying, I’m packing my bags to go see her at the moment, I go to RUclips to put on background noise and see the James.A.Janese has posted “Old” I have been looking forward to this movie for awhile. I just wanted to say thank you Dead Meat, for makeing this dark time better! 😊

I want to see the scene where they're applying for approval and they try to say that they don't need to go through any of the regular stages of testing their drugs because they did illegal human testing on a sample size of one on a magic beach, and they know it works because they were watching through a telescope.

It might depend on which government they went through. If they can get their foot in one door, other countries might at least run their own trials on it without questioning the origins, maybe? I'm not knowledgeable in this area, but there usually seems to be some corporate workaround.
It’s not that the drugs are ready for approval, it’s that the company knows they will be approved. They don’t have to risk spending money on dead ends, or risk surprises like fen phen (the drug that gave ppl heart attacks). Everything that comes out of this is solid so they can just go through the normal procedure knowing they will be successful.
@@blardfip4540 Well, true, fen phen did injure many people, and even has some confirmed deaths. It was also prescribed 18 million times, so if you got 18 million people on the beach, their plan is flawless.
Afaik, FDA doesnt actually certify your drugs are effective, only that it's safe to consume. That's why quack medicines dependent solely on placebo gets FDA certification.

The moment he said the line, and I was already expecting Dr. Gordon. Clearly, James does not disappoint with the running gag.
Thank you James for the new video to watch. I was hospitalized friday and kill count is exactly what I needed. Your videos are like comfort food entertainment when I need them.
The comments are young, the movie is Old
HA!
this is a joke of all time
Ha! Top comment!!
My wine and cheese are well aged
Nice
I was 16 when this came out and it was the first movie I watched in theaters alone. This lovely elderly couple got tickets too. As we were about 15 minutes early and the only ones in the theater; I overheard the wife asking her husband if they should ask if I would like to sit with them and being generally worried about me being alone. Her husband assured her that I would be fine and they could keep an eye on me as I was two rows in front of them. It was so sweet!!!
Need those James A. Janitties
Honestly, Chrystals death is what made me remember this film when I saw that you’re covering it
I don't know why but the whole "Beach that makes you old" bit just makes me chuckle, every time.
I’m with James, I kinda love this twist. It’s very dark and very clever. I’ve never read the graphic novel, but honestly, I’d love to see this concept in a miniseries.
I love how James just has every type of clothes for every video
His channel is dying.
@@haiz768 how'd you figure that?
@@haiz768he literally gets 1M+ every video 😭
@@haiz768EWWW WAIT you have 100+ comments and they are all hate comments 😭 average skull merchant main
Ok kinda true
I was expecting James to look a little older each time the camera cut back to him but going full old man for the "to the numbers" bit was great too 😊
Ok is no one gonna talk about how good James looks shirtless??
It’s on Twitter lol! we all agree he’s looking fine here
14:22 "I SEE YOU UP THERE, A-Hole"
Damnit, James. Almost choked on my drink 😂
😂
I really hope this movie isn’t about a beach that makes you old.
I hate to be the one that tells you this…
Not A beach... THE beach.
you might wanna sit down for this…
liked the subtle nods to eliza scanlens (karas teenage actor) filmography - got sharp objects, little women and babyteeth
Time for the ultimate challenge: Take a shot every time James says "the beach that makes you old." You'll feel like your liver's aged 80 years by the end of it.
The shots that make you old
“Why does my…everything hurt now?” Mood dude lmao
I don’t know, this has become something of a comfort film for me. It’s genuinely really easy to follow and entertaining even if I’m busy with something else lol
Gael Garcia Bernal is an underrated actor with a diverse acting style. I enjoyed him in "Amores Perros" and "Babel" and especially in Werewolf By Night which Dead Meat covered a few years back.
_The Science of Sleep_ is a good one too
He gave the better performance of this film ....but everyone is so robotic one might not realize. Gael is (normally) a fantastic actor people!!
Chrystal's death was so traumatizing I loved it
"Don't look at me!"
real, the only good thing in the movie besides the concept
4:04 “TITLE CARRRRD, the beach that makes you TITLE CARRRRD” almost gave me an asthma attack and I don’t even know why.
>I went to the beach that makes you old.
-The beach that makes you old?
>Yea the beach that makes you old.
The James that counts your kills
The kills that counts your James
The Zoran that Bixbys your Tremors
BIXBY! @@TheLowBrassDude
Istg if this channel is about the James that Counts your Kills
11:02 that tumor was huge holy hell dude! I was eating!
Petition for James to do all kill counts in an open shirt 😅
I SO second dat!!!!!!!!
Hell yeah!!
welcome to the shot count, where we tally up the number of *(lemon soda shots)* that I can chug down everytime the word "the beach that makes you old" is said during the entirety of this kill count
Edit: for those that are wondering / worried though, don't worry: I didn't actually chug down lemon soda shots: I went for water instead during the watch-through of this kill count. But please, binge watch and drink responsibly - for the last thing you would want to worry about is getting a hangover after that watch-through... 😵💫
Godspeed
How you going so far?
Bro has no more esophagus
Or, rather
"Welcome to Drunk Kill Count, where we drink watching Kill Counts and tell you what we learned from 'em. This week's Kill Count, released in 2024, is for M. Night Shyamalan's Old, featuring the beach that makes you old! Today's drinking game comes from @brandongamingtv7545, who says to drink every time James says 'the beach that makes you old.'"
Dude you’re going to get diabetes
James is 35?! Wow, that is impressive. At that age most RUclipsrs would retire by now but James is still uploading a shit ton! Thank you James!
Damn!! Looking good, James! It was real hard to look you in the eyes.
Mid-Sized Sedan had hemophilia not MS. That's why his wounds couldn't heal on the island and he died
Love kill count! It's such a like comfort show for me after all these years! :) Shoutout to James & Chelsea + Zoren & the team
22:33 The real horror of this movie
5:46 i love how the Lawrence Gordon joke is still going to this day
I don't know if you're even going to read this, but your channel got me into horror. To the point now, that I'm trying to go to a film college, to become a director of films, so that I can start making movies. I'm working on a short series right now, that I hope to someday post on RUclips. So thank you for being a big part of my life, and opening my eyes to my favorite genre of movies. It really means a lot to me. When I become a director, and release my first movie, I plan on having a special thanks to you and everyone that helps you with this channel. - Amon Brando, fellow horror lover.
12:10: “Kara’s Baby 51 Mins In Died From…Lack of Attention?”
They straight up say the baby died of starvation. A baby requiring nutrition every 3 hours in a place where a year passes in 30 minutes? Yeah, she starved that fast.
Wouldn’t the adults and kids have to eat every five minutes too?
@@BM-wh5qk Yeah, but they did mention there was food. It's true that it's not properly shown that they were eating, but they did have food specifically for that reason. But an adult, and even a kid of 6 or whatever she was at the beginning, can handle going a few "days" without food while the brand-new baby would not. Especially since mother's milk would be all they would have she could consume and the daughter didn't have time to try nursing at that fast a pace of time passage.
James talking about Death and violence in a friendly matter while reviewing movies is really damn entertaining to watch
This movie is criminally underrated. I loved it.
i mean it def one of his weakest movie we not talking about glass that one is horrible
We are now one step closer to a kill count on The Happening, and I am all for it.
James made it incredibly hard to watch this one respectfully 😭
FR THOUGH 😭
23:36 i guess you could say he went to the Beach that makes you Old- *proceeds to get shot*
Here’s a good drinking game: take a shot every time James says “the beach that makes you old”.
If you want death every time he says old
The drinks that make you old
There gonna be kill count of it
This would a wonderful premise to do a one off drunk Disney type video. Do “drunk kill count”, James, Chelsea, zoran, and gressiel(totally spelled that wrong) as disembodied hands get drunk to a kill count video with repeated jokes
It’s crazy that this movie is 3 years old I remember the trailers like it came out in the beginning of this year
They did. We got old.
What are y'all 15? lol 3 years is nothing
14:23 James has been funny AF in all these new Kill Counts 😂
16:29 “sharp objects be damned.” eliza scanlen’s kill count debut and we got an amma crellin reference, thank you writers!
Last night was one of the worst nights of my life. I woke up at 4:00 in the morning in a bad mood and I couldn’t get back to sleep. Thank you for uploading, James. It helped
Sending hugs your way. I hope you're doing better, but if not, just know that you are seen and we're all cheering you on! There's only so much you can do, but I hope that you find some relief from whatever is troubling you.
Who knew James was lowkey built with a sleeper build
I’m having an awful day, my grandmother is dying, I’m packing my bags to go see her at the moment, I go to RUclips to put on background noise and see the James.A.Janese has posted “Old” I have been looking forward to this movie for awhile. I just wanted to say thank you Dead Meat, for makeing this dark time better! 😊
I’m always taken off guard with just how in shape James is
14:22 Imagine being in the house and you hear James yell this.
James is by far the friendliest and most ernest person on youtube. Always enjoyable watches for years now.

Fun little easter egg that wasn’t mentioned: the first name on the plaque in the research facility is Mike Gioulakis, cinematographer for this film, as well as Split, It Follows, and Us! You can briefly see it in this video at 21:49.
