Directed by Christopher Alender, the new film The Old Ways looks like a crazy ride. The film stars Brigitte Kali Canales, Andrea Cortés, Julia Vera, Sal Lopez, and AJ Bowen. The Old Ways premiered at the 2020 Sitges Film Festival.
Here’s the official synopsis:
When Cristina Lopez – a Mexican American reporter – returns to her ancestral homeland of Veracruz chasing a story on witchcraft and faith healers, she becomes the subject of her own story. Kidnapped by a local “bruja” and her son, she’s held against her will for a terrifying reason: they believe she has a demon within her, and won’t let her free until they exorcise the malevolent force … no matter what it takes. As she struggles to make her escape, she slowly comes to believe they may be telling the truth after all. Along with her captors – and estranged cousin Miranda – Cristina’s fight for survival turns into a fight for her soul.
