Old People

I think it's a very bad idea to portray old people as individuals who murder people for no reason and go crazy in order to explain the abandonment and loneliness.

Although I was extremely uncomfortable in many parts, I continued to watch this movie with sadness rather than fear.

I must say that some of the scenes, which are repeated in many places, are very amateurish. I had a hard time understanding the target of the main villain.

With all my good intentions, I would like to think that such a film was made to reach young people and tell the troubles of old people. That's why I recommend watching this disturbing movie.

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.

Yes, of course it could have been better and i rly wish there had been some other choices.

BUT at least this has a decent plot and the premise is relevant.

I am german and seldom watch media content made from "home", i just dont relate to the way actors tend to speak in movies and shows... so if find myself NOT beeing turned off by that, then it has to be sth. About it thst grabs me.

Surprisingly this did.

And i enjoyed this a lot more than 90%of the horror ive seen this year (and i watched over 120flicks). Eg i watched hellraiser22 right before this and though it has much cooler shots and overall set... the budget was huge and that made for great visuals... but that was all i liked about it.

At least this movie has something u may think about at the end.... if u choose to think, that is....

Surprisingly this was a pretty good horror slash thriller film. I think it deserves a little higher of a rating then it has been given here. It was an enjoyable movie when it comes down to it. Sure its really quite violent and gory but you do expect that from a horror type film. It was also pretty darn sad when you think of it and what drove these old people to murder was because basically they have lost all hope in life of someone taking care of them. The acting was ok in this and i felt especailly the daughter held her own and was very brave. The direction worked well but i will say the script could be improved in areas. Apart from that though not a bad nextflix horror film.

I've seen a lot of articles about people complaining this movie was to brutal. I honestly don't understand. There were So many movies just as, if not more brutal that have passed through. The Hostel franchise, Green Inferno. I'm certain I'm missing quite a few. It might be the fact that it centers on the elderly that it offends, I can't say. All in all, I personally thought it was a solid watch. The acting was good but not over the top.. The family dynamic and characters were believable. Sadly in today's world life is like this for many of our elderly. I most definitely would recommend it to any horror fan!
