- 95Film ThreatFilm ThreatThe Old Ways is a masterpiece that shows how great horror will be done in the future: swiftly paced, engrossing and terrifying.
- 67Austin ChronicleRichard WhittakerAustin ChronicleRichard WhittakerBeyond surprising thematic depth, The Old Ways is an exercise in putting every cent on the screen, and hiding what you don't need.
- 67Original-CinThom ErnstOriginal-CinThom ErnstThe Old Ways might have continued along a path of deception and naïve beliefs and have survived on its bleak and irreverent humour, but director Alender steers the film from dark to darker. It’s not quite an about-face, as the film never reaches a point where it can be taken too seriously, but it does churn out a few unexpected and unpleasant shocks.
- 50Movie NationRoger MooreMovie NationRoger MooreThe Old Ways never builds empathy for anyone, making it a horror movie you watch but don’t “experience,” its bland heroine someone who never makes us fear for her sanity, her safety or her life.
