Old follows a group of families that go on vacation to a place that they have never heard of. It’s a place that popped up on all of their computers and they ultimately decided to go. At first, it’s a fun trip where the kids make new friends. But when the resort owner sends the family to a private beach things ultimately go wrong. The kids start to age and ultimately the grown-up do too but they don’t realize it at first. Will the family be able to escape? You can find the movie trailer here.
