Universal Pictures Home Entertainment Tabs Oct. 19 As The Street Date For M. Night Shyamalan's Old

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey

Auteur filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan’s latest mind-bender, Old, his film adaptation of the Sandcastle graphic novel by Pierre Oscar Levy and Frederik Peeters, will be heading home courtesy of Universal Pictures Home Entertainment as a three-SKU product offering on Oct. 19.

The ARR comes in at 88 days and domestic box office receipts currently stand at $47.7 million.

Set for release is a stand-alone DVD edition, plus Combo Packs for both the 4K Ultra HD (with Blu-ray) and Blu-ray (with DVD) formats.

A beautiful vacation resort, complete with a secluded beach, would be considered a paradise, except in the hands of M. Night Shyamalan.  Here it is a nightmare landscape, structured as a tropical “haunted house” thriller (without the house of course, just a beach), complete with a victim pool and some truly bizarre happenings.   

One by one they die, but not at the hands of an unseen stalker or some crazed serial killer.   There is no escape.   The who and the what of it will not be revealed here, but the result is Shyamalan at his best … Old is a pure horror delight!

Bonus features include deleted scenes and a quartet of featurettes — “Shyamalan Family Business,” “All the Beach is a Stage,” “Nightmares in Paradise” and “A Family in the Moment.”
