The COVID-19 pandemic has hindered the development of almost most industries, the hospitality industry, the service industry, tourism, etc., but the film industry is definitely one of the most affected industries, with almost all films not being released in 2020. For almost a year, people had to stay at home to see some of their old movies, but now that 2021 is almost here, some movies are slowly coming back, so let’s see if they will be shown in cinemas or if they will be shown online in a new way. Hopefully, the epidemic will end early and we can meet again at the cinema! For those who like to cosplay, you can wear your favorite Cosplay Costume to Comic-Con.

6- Old (2021)
Premise:
It was the perfect beach holiday, or so thought at least one family, a young couple, a few tourists, and an exile, who arrived at the same secluded, idyllic cove with its rocky pools and sandy beaches, surrounded by green, densely vegetated cliffs. But behind this utopia lies a dark secret: first and foremost, there is a floating female body in the crystal-clear water. There is also a bizarre fact at play: all the children are aging rapidly. Soon everyone realizes they are getting older – every half hour – and there doesn’t seem to be any way for them to leave the cove.
Shyamalan says the film was inspired by the French graphic novel Sandcastle, written by Pierre Oscar Levy and artist Frederik Peeters. Sandcastle follows the story of 13 people who are unable to leave a mysterious, secluded beach, which hides a dark secret involving time. The reason for this mystery of time is not given in the comic but is more of a prophetic story of survival and death. But OLD is not a direct adaptation of the graphic novel, so Shyamalan himself will finish the story and the brainchild.
