genuinely unique and creepy and homebody tell the depressing story of what life be like after society have discard you . a group of elderly people have have their apartment building and home for much of their life and condemn and and they have be ask to move to a new residence . when they realize they do not want to move and they take business into their own hand . they stab and sabotage and drown a man in cement and and kill in numerous other way to keep home and sweet home . while director larry yust doesn not have a huge budget at his disposal and it clearly be not need give the subject matter and the tenement of cinncinatti serving a a backdrop . this film have a seedy and dark and futile feel to it and and underlie it sick and twisted plot the death be execute with little remorse or feeling . the elderly and who at first illicit pity and soon turn into cold kill machine very much like what they attack a huge conglomerate business and progress . homebody be a bona fide horror film and a black comedy a well . the humour be subtle but definitely there . i particularly like the end and think that be a very clever bit to end such a film with . solid direction and a perverse yet fresh and interesting script aside and the acting for me be what carry this film . the elderly inhabitant be all equally play with polish and pathos by a crew of geriatric character talent all unfortunately no longer with u that bring their character alive foible and fear and and all . paula trueman play the big role a mattie . she be sort of a ruth gordon type . she be also the personification of evil in the group . she show u what the elderly be able to get away with because everyone discount them and their worth . trueman do an able job create a woman who be selfish and willful and and downright bad . ian wolfe and ruth mcdevitt play the couple that run the building for so long . both do very good job and create possibly more than anyone else the compassionate side of be old and leave out . peter brocco do a wonderful job a an elderly blind man who have power that probably any realistic elderly blind man would not possess . brocco do an incredible job . the last two member be play by william hansen and france fuller . fuller play a woman that have not leave her room for twenty year and speak to her dead father at the dinner table . hansen play a man consume with write his memoir of his marriage of 55 year . all of these actor do a marvelous job with their character . homebody be a good film . it be a scary picture and subtly humorous and and think provoke . the scene of these tenant be move to a soul less huge apartment complex where every room be the same and people just sit on bench wait to die strike me a particularly horrific . or the scene with an elderly blind man be shove into a room not have learn the dimension of the room at all . or maybe the scene of a man plead with a socially progressive woman about how move his thing and which have take him a lifetime to sort and would never be able to be put together in the same fashion . he say he literally do not have the time leave . these image and many more in homebody frighten me more than anything else . because the sad truth be we offer little time and reflection to those concern unless we be directly affect a a society . that be the real horror in homebody . a wonderfully old fashion song begin and end the film . it reminisce about the joy of a day go by .
