The Old Ways Reviews
Austin Chronicle
Richard Whittaker
Beyond surprising thematic depth, The Old Ways is an exercise in putting every cent on the screen, and hiding what you don't need.
Common Sense Media
JK Sooja
This fantastical, bloody, and winsome horror movie thrills from start to finish.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Plays out as a Mexican version of The Exorcist.
Assignment X
Abbie Bernstein
The Old Ways succeeds in drawing us in as it raises the stakes, at the same time making us feel like we're having new experiences in a well-established horror subgenre.
People's World
Chauncey K. Robinson
The movie masterfully takes on the popular (and sometimes overdone) horror theme of exorcisms, de-centers Catholicism, and infuses a chilling story of possession with indigenous Mexican culture and traditions.
San Diego Reader
Scott Marks
It eventually picks up, but not before dragging us through a number of addiction tropes.
Indian Country Today
Vincent Schilling
"The Old Ways,'' is a super creepy Indigenous-themed film that made my skin crawl in the best way.
Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)
Bob Bloom
'The Old Ways' in an apt title for this old-fashioned possession-exorcism movie that contains horror elements but is more about retaining your soul than things that go bump in the night.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
This is an inherently human story, grounded in the perception and heritage of its protagonists.
Bloody Disgusting
Meagan Navarro
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.
Midwest Film Journal
Evan Dossey
A strong entry in the exorcism genre.
CBR
Cass Clarke
The Old Ways boasts a tight cast that impressively manages to convey most of the film's tension and pace through glances.
48 Hills
Dennis Harvey
A well-made spin on the demonic-possession/exorcism tropes, if not a particularly original or scary one.
Nashville Scene
Jason Shawhan
Just know that things get intense, family bonds get stretched, and ancient magicks are going to ancient magick.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
An outstanding horror film written by Marcos Gabriel and directed by Christopher Alender, that crosses cultural commentary with powerful, creepy tension.
Dread Central
Michelle Swope
Brigitte Kali Canales gives a phenomenal performance as the tortured Cristina. Seek this one out when it becomes available.
Movie Nation
Roger Moore
Never builds empathy for anyone, making it a horror movie you watch but don't "experience," its bland heroine someone who never makes us fear for her sanity, her safety or her life.
In Review Online
Daniel Gorman
The Old Ways is one of those mid-budget gems, content to tell its story well, spook the audience, and move on.
About Boulder
Tim Brennan
There's very little CGI tomfoolery or jump scares going on, and he efficiently wrings scares out of a creepy atmosphere and very impressive use of sound. That makes for a film that's more elegant and more intelligent than your standard horror fare.
Film Threat
Michael Talbot-Haynes
The Old Waysis the greatest exorcism movie sinceThe Exorcist, do not miss it.
