"In a story about elder abuse, James Ashcroft's psychological horror film powerfully depicts the reality of bullying in care homes, led by stunning performances."
"The film is chilling in its realistic portrayal of elder-on-elder abuse, creating a claustrophobic atmosphere that immerses viewers in its unsettling narrative."
James Ashcroft presents a psychological horror film based on Owen Marshall's tale, set in a care home featuring a retired judge, played by Geoffrey Rush, coping with elder-on-elder abuse. The narrative unfolds in a grim residential facility, capturing the chilling dynamics between residents, particularly highlighting the sinister manipulation by Dave Crealy, portrayed by John Lithgow. The film's claustrophobic mood and strong performances compensate for some narrative weaknesses and offer a poignant look at bullying and the deterioration of dignity among the elderly.
