Aged

Unoriginal, predictable, insipid, and worst of all, the acting is abysmal. Wish I could reclaim the time I spent on this garbage fire of a movie. I stuck with it, thinking, "No movie in 2023 could be this awful." Nope - I was wrong. This one is just terrible. PLEASE don't waste your time on this one. At best, it is a well-worn plot that could have been told in a 3-minute short. You find yourself hoping that the protagonist will be swallowed up by an earthbound hell-worm - anything to make the film end. I couldn't possibly spoil anything here, since, by reading the title of the movie, you already know exactly what is going to happen. Going to find my thesaurus to find more synonyms for "horrible" now . . .

I was pleasantly surprised with what I got out of this film. Given the budget I never stopped being impressed by how well this movie was done. Any low budget film requires good casting and talented crew members and this one clearly has those elements. This is not a jump scare horror film, if you are looking for that you won't get it. This is a slow burn that the soundtrack does a great job of establishing the mood for throughout. The film is not without flaws but I sincerely believe this it could stand up to 90% of the big budget horror films currently coming out of Hollywood. Any true fan of horror films should thoroughly enjoy this one.

I just watched Aged and I really enjoyed this movie. I'm not a horror movie kind of person but this was done right. The actors really threw themselves into their roles although I was a little skeptical in the beginning (too many signs for the main character to not be in that place) but as the movie progressed i was pulled into it. I did not know where it was going and i must say that was a good thing because many times you can predict the ending of a movie midway through but not AGED. This movie had me and I must say I did not expect the ending....totally had me shocked. I would watch this movie again. Great movie.

Non spoiler review: First thank you Harrow House. It appears to be a horror movie that has a very tight budget. So I was intrigued from the beginning to the end. If you expect the highest presentation this movie ain't it.

I love human behavior. I love to study people. Why would this girl/woman who appeared to be intelligent go with a complete stranger to a house 3 hours away?

She was not the least prepared to work with a dementia patient. The job paid a lot so why would they hire someone who was unsure of her ability to do the work?

There are many questions that need to be answered to make this cohesive. They have been covered in the comment section. The charming home had a "Weird" Vibe as did the old woman and Charles. The music added to the intrigue and I really wanted to know what they were up to?

I would recommend this movie to those who can look past the lower end of the spectrum films. I appreciate that not all films are Oscar bound I couldn't wait until the ending came so that I could determine what was going on. It was worth the wait, but this movie isn't for everyone. To me it wasn't as much a horror film, but a suspenseful one.

Warning, do not fast forward any part of this, you might miss something that explains what is going on and you will be forced to rewind it and watch it again.

Veronica Grey (Morgan Boss-Maltais) did play this part well, however, with the pace of the movie a little slow and the runtime too long for this story, I lost interest in the plot and the story itself became a "what" "huh" moment, more than once.

Mrs Bloom (Carla Kidd) play off against Miss Grey well, sometimes and other times her presence was like the "what" "huh" moments I mentioned above.

Joe (Adonis Ringo) brought nothing but "huh" moments to the story, he did this rather well. Perhaps he was only included because his name was Adonis.

I realised that while writing this, I dropped the rating down to 3 "what" says something about the movie. I'm hoping that Morgan Boss-Maltais gets some better roles. Would I recommend this? Nope.
