Night Shyamalan unveils a chilling, mysterious new thriller about a family on a tropical holiday who discover that the secluded beach where they are relaxing for a few hours is somehow causing them to age rapidly … reducing their entire lives into a single day.

Little girl ages into her early 20’s? Aging makes you pregnant? Someone is very suspect o this island and if they make it out alive will no longer be allowed near 100 feet of a elementary school ever again.

Is there some sort of monster or alien tech that is causing them to age?

What did the code mean that they found?
