Old People

Don't waste your time watching this. I'm amazed at how many people must have had to approve the various elements of production required for such a terrible, misguided, poorly-acted "movie" to have even be made in the first place. Poor character development, poor storyline that goes nowhere and also just makes no rational sense. There is just seemingly no point to the entire story. The worst part is that you think you'll be provided with some sort of explanation at the end, but no. It's just that Old People are angry at young people for existing, which is infuriating because it's not even a clear motive for the rampage we are forced to endure for an hour and a half. And the worst part is that in the end it turns out that the Old People are perfectly capable of snapping out of their hypnotic, zombie-like state if they want to. So what is the entire point of their rampage in the first place? Honestly, one of the worst movies I've ever seen.

I'm not sure what I'm watching here. I thought at first it was about weak and helpless old people who by some supernatural power became evil and wreak havoc, until I saw one of them pass out after some physical altercation like a normal human being, powerless as he was tied to an oven. So if they're strong enough to attack and terrorize everyone, why stay in the senior home like they have no choice to begin with? Leave the town and have fun living your senior lives elsewhere instead of killing people off because you're supposedly abandoned, lol. It's overall bad, the plot, the concept, the depressing color tone, the acting. Sometimes when a horror movie is bad it can at least be fun. This one is both bad and meh. I kept waiting and waiting for something good to happen and it never did. I regret the time spent watching this as I was looking for some Halloween fun, this was anything but.

I thought this movie was funny. I know a lot of reviewers either going to like this or not. I did not see them "Old People " blink. Ughhh and they look like statues standing against the walls and their mining and groaning was annoying ,but yet again I laughed. There definitely was some gross scenes but my favorite part is when there's an object in the mouth. Yuck ! But over all, I am glad I watched the movie. I just thought it was entertaining and seeing old people ( zombies like ) killing people and still no blinking ( annoyed and fascinated) I gave it ten stars to boost the rating. But it's worth about 4 stars.

Old People:A dark German film, while it is thematically similar to Mom and Dad, it;s darkness is not leavened by the black humour of that film. It does involve social commentary though of a realistic rather than satirical form. Old people are left on their own in flats with limited home help, dumped in inadequately staffed nursing homes. The film begins in an urban area with an old man rising from his wheelchair and battering his carer to death with an oxygen bottle, even the innocent will suffer, In the distance we see fires raging in a city, signs of the elders revolt. Most of the action takes place in a rural area and while there some soapish strands to the story it is an engaging narrative. Mostly the elderly target anyone younger, there are some exceptions where familial ties stay their hands. Mostly they resemble Zombies the the way they gather together, surrounding and attacking houses. Some savage scenes of horror as younger people are torn apart, axed, battered to death, The film might have worked better with 10 minutes shaved off it's 101 minute running time but it's certainly worth watching even if it's message is delivered with a heavy hand. Directed & written by Andy Fetscher. On Netflix. 7/10.

It is obvious that this movie is not the common horror flick where old people replace zombies. Hell no, it is horror only on form, but certainly not on the meaning. It is a prophecy scheme, a warning message towards young and middle aged generations about the elders; there are more and more, not living, but surviving and waiting for the ultimate deliverance. In the past we had some horror films where it was question of killer kids, for instance a Spanish movie from the late seventies; Spanish cinema and its obsession for kids in horror films. I am sure we will see more features like this one in the future. But this topic could have been written in a different way, not necessarily in a more or less Hollywood style.
