Today, we talk about The Old Ways. This film has gotten praise in its festival showings and has had a solid rating from audiences since its premiere on Netflix. The film focuses on a journalist named Cristina, who returns to her ancestral hometown for a story and is kidnapped by a bruja (witch doctor) after having visited a cursed location that she was warned to keep away from. Now having believed she is possessed, she will endure the strange occurrences and the occult world of brujeria as they attempt to save her from her demons but is any of it real?
We are joined by our good friends Daniel (Geek Elite Media) and comic book writer Justin Richards (Finger Guns) as we talk about the film, our thoughts on the lore and Justin also gives us a deep dive into his new comic book series 'I Only Have Eyes For You' coming via Kickstarter this November. The series is set to jumpstart a new superhero universe that Justin hopes to create with an array of unique and interesting characters that play on the tropes of what we see in the superhero genre.
The film came in at an average of 7.5 dead roosters on our Roostermeter.
