User Reviews
VintageHorrorLover – 7/10
“I was pleasantly surprised by this gem. The idea of sweet old ladies turning into killers is so unsettling. The atmosphere is thick and the pacing is slow but rewarding. Not perfect, but a unique take on home invasion horror and well worth a watch.”
SlasherSteve – 5/10
“I wanted to like this more, but I felt it dragged in the middle. The old folks are creepy, sure, but some of the acting felt overdone. It had some good kills, but I was hoping for more chills. Maybe just not my era.”
GhoulFriend – 8/10
“For me, this is a hidden classic. It's not about jump scares; it's that gnawing feeling you get when you realize the people next door might be capable of anything. The social commentary about the elderly being pushed aside still rings true. A must-see for fans of slow-burn horror.”
TerrorQueen77 – 6/10
“I appreciated the unique premise and the way it made me feel for the old folks, even as they went full murder mode. The film has a quirky tone that might throw some people off, but I found it fascinating. It's not perfect, but it's memorable.”
