10. The Elderly Residents – Homebodies
While the themes of this film are tragic and relevant, the 1974 flick Homebodies is quite a disturbing and funny film. Here we have a group of peaceful retirees who are threatened by land developers who want to kick them out of their community. Rather than considering a more reasonable solution, the elders decide upon extreme violence. They stab, mutilate, decapitate, and then cement the remains of their greedy victims who have tried to make them move. Talk about extreme measures! But when you think about it the film has a strong point – senior citizens don’t deserve to be removed from their homes just because they’re old. Most of them don’t end up as killers though!
