The Old Ways (2021): Story, Cast, Release Date, Budget, Collection, Review, Ratings & More

The Old Ways

The Old Ways is a chilling supernatural horror film that explores Mexican folklore through the lens of modern skepticism and ancient beliefs. Directed by Christopher Alender, the film stars Brigitte Kali Canales as Cristina Lopez, a Mexican-American journalist who returns to her homeland to investigate reports of witchcraft, only to find herself trapped by locals who believe she’s possessed by a malevolent spirit.

The story unfolds as Cristina, initially dismissive of supernatural claims, undergoes traditional cleansing rituals performed by a curandera and her grandson. As the ceremonies progress, the line between psychological breakdown and genuine demonic possession becomes increasingly blurred, forcing both Cristina and viewers to question what’s real.

The film authentically incorporates Mexican spiritual traditions and folklore while delivering genuine scares through atmospheric tension rather than cheap jump scares. The Old Ways offers a respectful exploration of indigenous beliefs while crafting an intimate horror experience that examines cultural identity and ancestral connections.
