    OLD IS STRONG
    Octogenarian antagonists... an unusual phrase to write, let alone read. As a lesser tried theme in horror, this grabbed me on the synopsis alone, for that reason. It soon becomes clear that any potential intrigue in the foreword isn't going to be realised. The enraged aged are played brilliantly, with the societal chasms between generations being screened in such a way as to make the differences exaggerated, emphasising them as a reason for breakdown on their own, let alone some kind of 'possession'. Any supernatural/mystical element to the story is missing, however, and any true feeling of there being a global event isn't given much focus. It feels like a cult movie in one way, whilst also having so many of the good elements of a zombie flick. Whilst beautifully bleak, and well-acted, it isn't an example of strong writing... there are a number of eye rolling moments. I really hope this paves the way for more Directors and Writers to use the older generations as strong and terrifying antagonists in future horror movies.

    We have to respect old people
    German origin, Netflix production horror film produced in 2022. I think the thriller and horror elements are used well in the movie. Yes, the subject is very shocking and not acceptable. But if we look at it as a movie, I found it above average. As the name suggests, the film is about the brutalization of the neglected old people. As a result of this brutalization, his eyes no longer see children and grandchildren. But the ending is not very well connected. It spoiled the mood of the movie. The year 2022 has been the year of searching for new ways in horror movies. I hope better movies are coming.

    There is sexuality and nudity in the film.
