The subject is apparent from the title and any press/previews. A group of people ends up on a beach where they rapidly age. Since it’s written/directed by M. Night Shyamalan you can hope for a suspenseful approach and dark thrills, plus a surprise twist. The revelation was unexpected, but not shocking. The tension never manifests. It’s just a sci-fi mystery that’s only interest is watching how and when the cast will change. On the plus side, the beach is lovely and Shyamalan’s big-screen style keeps it visually attractive. Other than that, this is just a mediocre episode of The Twilight Zone. BTW, the director introduces the screening with a welcome back to the movies and he has a cameo as the van driver.
