Night Shyamalan's newest film. A full-length trailer for the famed horror director's latest project, Old, dropped on Thursday, giving a more intense glimpse at the story of a group of people who vacation on a desolate island only to soon find themselves aging at a rapid pace. The trailer opens with a father (Gael García Bernal) and mother (Phantom Thread's Vicky Krieps) arriving at their destination with their two young children, where they soon meet others and discover a strange assortment of items from their hotel abandoned on the beach. After they come across a dead body and notice its rapid decomposition, they soon realize they, too, are quickly skipping across years in their physical appearance — including the couple's son (Alex Wolff) and daughter.

Near the end of the trailer, Sewell's character is taken over by what appears to be a virus that creeps up his limbs and into his face, rendering him unrecognizable. "Oh no ... we're here for a reason," says Bernal's character, before his adult children light a match inside a cave and are seemingly terrified by an unknown entity offscreen.
