Yes! Shyamalan’s latest film is this good. He stays within that very contained, very small scale he’s been using since The Visit but adds a story with huge philosophical and scientific ramifications and an avalanche of edge-of-your-seat intensity. Old is never scary per se, but it’s super hard to watch, and that’s just pure Shyamalan using all of his filmmaking powers to take the audience on a ride.
