Horror Movie ‘The Old Ways’ Coming to Netflix in August 2021

The Old Ways, which premiered last October at Sitges Film Festival in Spain, will make its SVOD debut on Netflix August 5, 2021 in America. Here’s what you need to know about the horror directed by Christopher Alender.

The best horror films on Netflix are still small and accessible. Every month sees an increasing number of titles. In August 2021, you’ll see at least two horror releases with Aftermath coming on August 4th and now The Old Ways a day later on August 5th.

Written by Marcos Gabriel (Muppets Now, Memorial Day) the horror stars Brigitte Kali Canales, Andrea Cortés, Julia Vera, and Sal Lopez.

Here’s what you can expect from the movie:

“Cristina, a journalist of Mexican origins, travels to the home of her ancestors in Veracruz to investigate a story involving witchcraft and healers. Once there, she is kidnapped by a group of locals who claim that she’s possessed by the devil and that she needs to be exorcised. When she tries to escape this nightmarish situation, the woman starts to believe that her captors may actually be right…”

The film is distributed by Soap Box Films, who previously released movies like Synchronicity (available on Netflix in 2019), XX and The Wind.

How do The Old Ways reviews compare?

Given its limited distribution, reviews are rare and few.

Reviewed back in October 2020, Ethan Hill from Loud and Clear Reviews said the movie was an “engaging film with strong performances” but said that it overall felt “uneven”.

IMDb has it at a rating of 6.2/10, but we anticipate that this will change drastically once the movie drops to Netflix.
