Technikailag az Idős emberek című film a filmalkotás tisztességes szintjén van. A kezdet, amely egy olyan jelenetben teljesedik ki, amiben a főszereplő rá jön, miről is van szó, egy kiélezett horror csemege. De a dühös, gyilkoló nyugdíjasok bizarr ötlete, amelyre az egész film épül, bután hangzik. A filmkészítőknek nem sikerült társadalmi allegóriává emelniük a témát, és legragadtak a tiszta zombihorror mentális optikájánál. Ezért a film zavaros, sőt nevetséges.

The social-critical aspect is extremely banal and literal, yet if the script had dug into it a bit more and at the same time not shoved it in the viewer's face, it could have had some potential (but then it should have also addressed the frequent contempt of the old for the young, etc., so that it is not so black and white). At the same time, I must admit that the director has the horror craft down pat, the night horror sequences are properly creepy and intense. In the stronger passages it reaches for four stars, in the weaker passages, when we watch a family melodrama or the main young heroine tells us in a voiceover that it is wrong to be mean to old people, oh yes, more like two.

The scenes of the filthy and disgusting old men are surprisingly good, even disgusting in places, and their casting is equally top notch, but the rest of it is just awful. The story and the main characters are a disaster and expecting a deeper script would be a mistake. The very idea of old people getting the crap kicked out of them by families who haven't stopped by the retirement home for a couple of years only to soften up at the end over some sort of "family bonding spell" is totally hokey, actually, as is the film as a whole. I haven't been so amused by how stupid a film can be in a long time.
