Trivia
The story was written after director David A. Roberts' friend passed away during the pandemic. When told he couldn't see his friend because of the quarantine, he was instead informed that they could have a video call the next day instead. Unfortunately his friend passed away before they got chance to talk. The story of Older Gods was written in Davids grief and guilt of not being able to talk to his friend before it was too late and ultimately discover what people are willing to do to try and remove that weight of guilt.

Low budget but surprisingly different

I was surprised how much I liked this but I did!

I doubt that friday the 13th / freddy / scream slasher horror fans will like it that much as its thoughtful and slower paced. It replaces gore with mystery and emotion. Its basically a drama with horror elements as its very creepy in a couple of scenes.

I think it was pretty ambitious for a low budget and I was always intrigued.

I thought Rory Wilson did a great job as the lead, its difficult to essentially be the only person who talks through an entire film but I thought he carried the film well.

I think if you go into this understanding knowing what it it (slower, thoughtful, creepy) rather than expecting a monster movie or something, you'll like it.
