Are there any horror films that draw upon old age/being elderly as the source of the horror...

Be happy you can only Think about It...

The Visit

are these pictures considered scary or just sad?

both
because it can and likely will happen to us all

Both. Being elderly will be even more terrifying in the future.

Are you an old person?

Heaps of people die long before they get to that age.

All those people in that photo are more than likely dead.

makes me feel sad bro.

I know you guys didn't lik True Detective season 3 but I thought it played upon the fear and hopelessness of memory loss in old age really well. This theme is pretty underrepresented in film

Not really. Even though the setting is basically a slasher killer's dream. If an old geezer passes, it's expected. Low cell use. Victims are physically weak.

don't you want jumpscares.....

You should feel happy for them. Their suffering is now over.

Slow burn like the crematorium at the nursing home

It makes me feel sad that it's normal in our culture to let people live to that age and rot in communal homes that are worse than some prisons.

I'm not being edgy, and don't really have an ethical solution, but ever since the average lifespan shot up it's created humiliating, disgusting living conditions for millions of people in their final years. I feel like throwing more money at it won't help it either.

A24 has become successful by making horror movies that play off our real fears. I think a horror movie about old age could work really, really well. For the first time people will leave the theater actually afraid.

The retirement home scenes in cloud atlas made me wish there was a movie that took place there. Fill it with seasoned elderly actors who complain that they can't get interesting roles anymore and they'll put their all into it.
This would be cool.

If you don't care for your parents in old age you are a nigger.

First thing I thought of as well. It's not a horror movie, but it is the closest thing to what OP is looking for.

Yeah real life fears can work, but fears toward inevitable facts of life?? I wouldn't see it.

Nope but i have to take care of my old mother...mind slipping away more and more...that OP pic REALLY hit too close

Kind of related I thought that old witch in the last Harry Potter was well done.

Like what, our fear, as 16th century colonial puritans, of being eaten by a witch, or our fear of having a demon take over our body?

It's a million times better that she's with you instead of somewhere else.

You didn't get the underlying theme in Hereditary? It's not exactly subtle

Umberto D

>Existential/cosmic horror movie
>Main character is an old wheelchair-bound man in a nursing home, suffering from Alzheimer's/dementia that is slowly getting worse
>Monsters appear in the corners of the man's eyes, other elderly people start disappearing
>Other weird shit starts happening, the entire nursing staff appear to be part of a cult that does human sacrifices and orgies in the basement in front of strange statues and weird unknown sigils
>Old man will sometimes faint and wake up somewhere else, characters that died before now appear to be fine, nursing staff that were completely evil before are now nice
>Ending is the old man looking out of one window and seeing a huge planet-sized object in the sky, the sky is blood-red and dark tendrils are reaching out of dimensional gaps in the sky, appears to be the end of the world
>Turns his wheelchair and looks out another window, everything looks normal
>Old man just starts laughing maniacally as one nurse in a ceremonial robe injects him with dark green slime, ambiguous ending as to whether some horrible supernatural event is actually occurring or if it's really all just the dementia

That move with the mom who got possessed and had Alzheimer's, and she was eating that kids head in the cave.

Go to bed Adam

It wouldn't be a horror movie about getting grey hair or going bald. It would be a horror movie that uses gruesome imagery and kills to remind you of all the things that could afflict you as you get old. It's not like the main character sees a grey hair and a violin screech happens, it would be an allegorical story that only would be about aging if you actually think about it.

This. My grandmother is almost 90 and if it weren't for several medical procedures she'd be dead by now. And while I love my granny, her standard of living is terrible. She had to move out of the home she lived in for 50 years, raised 4 kids in, married and lost a husband in because she couldn't get up and down the stairs anymore. We didn't stick her in a home but she's in a retirement community, mostly sits around all day and shits herself. Visiting her all I can think of is how much I'd rather be dead than be her.
People live longer than they're supposed to now. Yes there have always been those people that live to 100 and get around great, or those that live to 100 and have to be cared for because their hearts just keep fucking beating for some reason. But now medical technology allows those whose bodies were never meant to last to continue functioning to some degree, existing because of a fear of death until they gracelessly expire hooked up to tubes and machines in a hospital room.

The Witch played on paranoia and isolation in small communities. Hereditary was about mental illness.

Is it okay if I steal your idea and make money off it?

Amour

Underlying theme of what, family problems? I'm not sure what there was to be afraid of with that stuff.

>tfw you have a 12-gauge retirement plan that you'll have to use in the near future

This sucks

As long as you make it kino and put "Thanks to user for the idea" as the final line in the end credits. Also invite me to the premiere in LA.

Would be cool except he shouldn't be wheelchair bound. Maybe he has a cane but can still walk?

Yeah that could work too. The idea is just to give the protagonist a physical handicap for extra vulnerability.

>The Witch played on paranoia and isolation in small communities.
This is not at all a relatable fear now days, and hasn't been for a long time.

I wonder how people/media would react if someone did a mass shooting in a retirement home, killed all the elderly people and put it in their manifesto that they did it to free them of their suffering.

this

Sure it is, user. You think all the comforts modern society has provided you are to be taken for granted? When the chips are down we are still primal, my friend. All this control is an illusion.

I think you might be autistic

What.

Killing people with one foot already in their grave sounds like a waste of a life sentence

Robin did the right thing.

Plenty of mass shooters just anhero.

Why are small communities not a fear anymore? Telecommunication, the internet, globalization? Those things are impermanent. Our nature is not.

But then you don’t get to know how high your score was

You body will be scavenged by animals and your parts spread out over a miles wide radius.

I almost volunteered at a old folks home in high school. My guide was showing me around and one of the hallways was full of old people sitting in wheelchairs looking at nothing. One woman was pleading at us to let her out and my guide just chuckled awkwardly and led me away with the old woman yelling after us. It was horrible and I never went back.

>ambiguous ending
NO NO NO. Screenwriters need to get smacked every time they think this is a clever way to end their horror films.

youtube.com/watch?v=aSNJ00iAZ7I

Oh, that's a good idea.

Good. I'd rather turn to dust then have anyone spend money on cremation.

I think about volunteering just to talk to them and hang out and maybe hear their stories, but I don't do well with people in general. Old people scare me because they can get really pissy and I would probably have a panic-attack.

I work at a retirement community for filthy rich assholes, and even they look terrifying. One lady gets pushed around to the restaurant every night and is fed filet mignon and she doesn't even know it. She just stares at the plate and her helper inserts the food into her mouth and she slowly chews.

Same.

Are there any fully lucid old people there who fully grasp just how horrible their situation is?

thats their fault for needing constant attention and refusing to experience existence without the herd

you have really never met one?

This is why die young, or take care of your health so at age 90+ you'll still be able to walk and alert of your surroundings.

I don't really go into nursing homes, it would just make my suicidal feelings even worse.

Yes, lots.

Attached: this my dudes.jpg (292x173, 10K)

Oh for sure, there's a wide variety. A lot are actually in great shape for pushing 70+. Our facility is huuuge, we've got apartments and houses both they use, no one is in shitty little hospital rooms. But the company that I work for are vampires that bleed these old folks dry, some deserve it because they're horrible people but then the like 10 nice ones out of hundreds we have were basically suckered into paying all their savings to live in what's basically a shitty apartment complex.

Anyone else thinking of offing themselves if they reach the age of 80? Just thinking of ending up like OP's pic scares and depresses me.

Attached: 1560015440662.jpg (1620x1069, 194K)

Yeah I understand. There were also so many rules and regulations that I was told to follow. I was scared as shit that one of the elderly people were going to die under my watch. Some of them can also get really aggressive - yelling, biting, hitting, etc. Not for me but I still feel awful for all the elders basically abandoned in retirement homes.

All the fucking time but I'll be doing it somewhere around 35-40.

>If I try really hard I won't grow old!
This is what zoomers actually believe

are you fucking telling me you have never met an old person who doesnt live in a nursing home? what kinda fucked up hellhole are you from??

No, you are too much of a pussy to do it.

Is it a bad sign if I'm in my mid twenties and it already hurts to walk, sit, or get up?

seriously what kinda 3rd world shithole do you people live where you never see old people who are capable of living on their own?

Real life. Your family will wither and die.

When you're too old you won't have the energy or willingness to kill yourself. Hell of you have alzheimers the idea might not even come to your head anymore. You're trapped

My mum works for an old people's home. The majority people end up there only a few stubborn, rich and favored by genetics manage to die in their own home.

Why? you spend all your time sitting

I can't wait.

That's why you kill yourself when you're still young.

Excuse me sweaty but America is not a 3rd world country.

Ironic. Only third worlders can't afford old people homes.

if you say so...

Growing old is only scary if you alienate everyone who ever cared about you.

You will be different zoomer, you will be the first person to not grow old and never lose your hair. You are special and you have a skin routine and eat avocado. I am sure you will look like Tom Cruise at age 60 not old like these other idiots who don't eat avocado and don't take care of their health.

My grandma was getting bad near the end and you could tell she wanted to die. Her stroke affected her personality allot but she still had her memories and was fully capable of understanding how much aging sucked. Was always nice to me and took my side when ever my mom bossed me around when we visited as a child. While she ended dying in a hospital she did live her remaining years in the same apartment she had been in since my mom was a teen.

Don't want to even think about getting old especially since I already got health issues; sadly not the type that can kill me just make life harder.

If you're 30 and you don't care about life anymore it's time to reevaluate the life choices you're making. The computer does not have the capacity to make you emotionally satisfied and fulfilled, only other humans do.

do you post the most basic life advice and feel a rush of positive emotions as if you've actually contributed anything that a 6 year old child couldn't? what makes you think that 99.999999% of people don't know this already you dumb faggot

Pretty cool and original, definitely feel it would make an interesting movie

No, I think the old lady subplot of Requiem for a Dream is the closest thing to what OP is looking for.

It would be better if the old dude did some investigating, finding clues that could be justified as something normal too so the ambiguity still stands or straight up attacks the nursing staff.
Mostly because i love the concept of old people manning up for one last stand.

Do you ever just go through all boards, find nothing to post on and just sit and stare at the desktop for a few minutes?

>tfw I made a delivery to a low-income retirement complex
The things I saw in there broke my heart, I was not prepared. I was *not* prepared. It wasn't so much the people as it was all the trappings that hung off the walls; letters written in crayon saying LOVE or HOPE, pages from coloring books torn out and plastered on walls. When I walked down that hallway, every door had at least several of those LOVE or WANTED letters, but a few of them were *covered* from top to bottom in them. And that's not even the worst part, that just set the mood - when I was leaving, I noticed they had a calendar set up, but it didn't have any events on it - oh no, it just had a message that went, "your children might ignore you, yell at you or treat you poorly, but you are still a human being and you deserve dignity and love. You are wanted... [Etc. etc.]" The place reeked of desperation and that was the final punch in the gut that sank in just how miserable these people were.

Just... Thrown away people. Forgotten. They lived full lives and their golden years went to a shabby 1970s apartment with fuzzy fixtures and cold, clinical recreation rooms. Just waiting to die.

wew the shit I saw there. very fast and hefty redpill before I even hit high school.

What do you all think comes after death? Some variety of eternal heaven/hell/purgatory, eternal reincarnation, eternal recurrance, or eternal nothingness? It has to be one of those options, but whatever it is, it never ends

no need to make a movie when it's almost guaranteed to happen. it would spook people too much I assume.

>why they don't talk each other lol
Of course they talk to each other, they've probably exhausted all scraps of conversation they could have with their fellows - that is, most scraps of surface-level conversation they're willing to give. Most people in these homes don't want to get that *deep deep* understanding of who else is there, because that's just setting themselves up to waking up one day and finding the paramedics are taking George out in a body bag.

>Playing shit or watching kinos
Do you know what old age does to your fingers? Imagine waking up one day and finding it difficult to bend your index finger to hit the T, or your middle finger keeps slipping between the I and O.

I already started having wrist and hand tendonitis issues in my early 20s, I probably won't be able to play games when I'm old.

lights out, nothing.

Nothing.
It's just darkness stretching on into forever.
But it's a warm embracing darkness.

That's just your brain flooding itself with feel-good chemicals until it shuts off. It's a good feeling, sure, but it leads to total oblivion.

literally gentile heaven

guess which ones are the animals without souls :^)

No but I dont use sentences like "I ALMOST volunteered." because they make you seem like a colossal douchebag. You didnt volunteer and didnt even consider it seriously. Better be honest about it.

I wasn't trying to get ass pats. I needed 40 hours of volunteering work to graduate high school, checked out the retirement home, the sad state of the old people + the heavy regulations and responsibilities scared my 16 year old self and I got my hours somewhere else. Who would I even try to impress on fucking 4channel of all places about how I almost took care of old people.

Why don't these people just play video games?

>he actually plans on getting old
I'll just sign up for cryogenics and off myself when I turn 50.

This is why that dude shot all the people in Vegas

some of my mom's patients would be assigned to play Wii games for stroke rehabilitation since that has movements incorporated into the games. the vast majority of nursing homes are hellpits with no real investment for the quality of life of the residents/patients.

>Too poor to afford video games
>Fingers are too rigid

Your body at 70 is not your body at 25 or even 35. My mother used to be a huge softball player for decades until she had to get knee surgery. Now she can't even run.

does knee surgery ever end with decent results? everything I've ever heard about it indicates no.

Come 70 I'm going to start doing enough steroids to kill a horse. If my dicks already broken and my prostate already the size of a grapefruit then there's no real point for me not to be installing an artificial endocrine system via hypodermic injections. Fuck growing old and weak when I can pay a few hundred a month to still be active as a weak 40 year old man.

It's inevitable user. A relative of mine was like that. Started forgetting stuff, telling the same stories again and again, I knew it was going downhill.
Then the day came when she was admitted to the hospital, died of pneumonia a few days later. I was sad as hell but somehow relieved, I knew it was better this way than being engulfed by dementia she was about to develop.

Have children and don't be like a disgusting boomer to them.

Have you seen their reaction time and awareness when they're driving on the road? I highly doubt they could play any vidya, even something like tetris. It would be too much of a mental burden to learn the rules, though if they could manage to play it would probably help keep their brains ticking over

>does knee surgery ever end with decent results?
Hell no, her first knee surgery got infected and they had to go back in and tear up her joint to scoop out the pus and bad meat. Her second surgery stuck, but not before her left knee became this bloated mess of scar tissue. She started steadily getting fat after that and she's tried desperately to find any diet, exercise or even medication that could help her shed the pounds. All she wants to do is slip into those dresses she's got in the closet, all she wants is to feel beautiful again.

>died of pneumonia a few days later
It's always pneumonia, isn't it? My grandfather on my father's side got hit with pneumonia - man was a farmer for 90 years, and never looked it until those last few days. He collapsed in my father's arms when he was visiting and died right there, it was... Bad, that phone call with my father on the day it happened.

If you're top level athlete with world's best surgeons for atheletes, yes.

The strokes are caused by the broken hip.

A lot of athletes with knee problems frequently get reinjured with the same issues. Raphael Nadal has been plagued his whole career with recurring knee problems and frequently has long periods of downtime. You see it a lot with top rugby players too. I think once your knee is munted it can never be tje same, just tentatively kept at a moderate level of strength

meme or not, it's good advice for aging people with damaged joints. everything about it is low impact and reduces inflammation. big pharma is not your buddy.

Honestly man (if you can afford it ) put her in a nice retirement home and visit her often. My dad and aunt took care of my senile grandmother for 10+ years and I've seen my aunt broken because of that. The things she did/said hurt not only herself but others too. I can not tell you how many sleepless nights we spent because she was throwing one of her tantrums and not to mention the days when she would start thinking that we were conspiring against her and then start promising she'll kill us and stuff like that. Not even gonna get started on the times she ran away from home.

Yeah she would get the idea that she wasn't in her own house (she was btw)and then would run away. It once happened at 7 A.M in the morning when my aunts family were preparing for work they noticed she wasn't in the house, my uncle quickly ran out in his pyjamas and found her a few blocks down from their house. The second time she somehow managed to get over a 1m tall wooden fence(there was no other way of getting out) and we also found her a few blocks down. She was 94 and 95 at the time.

That movie could have been so much better than it was, but it was still pretty good.

It's called Fugue state. My grandma had something similar as part of her dementia before she got put in the old people bin herself.

Somebody did already do that in san bernadino and they blamed it on Islam. The facility they shot up was a giant government run disability hospital which permanently takes care of people unable to move or look after themselves. Look it up.

yeah it might have been better if there was some spooky shit mixed in about the stories they kept telling. Is it actually explained wtf they were even talking about or is it supposed to just be "old crazy people babble"?

>That movie could have been so much better than it was
You can say that about anything shamalamam has touched

For the best probably. There was this one time she wanted to "renovate the house" so she a 95 year old grandma ripped a radiator from the wall, to this day we don't know how she did it.

The Taking of Deborah Logan has an excellent premise.
A really, really good premise.
Just, incredible.
I can't believe they fucked it up.

I am a different user and probably autistic. What was the "underlying theme" of Hereditary? Mental illness?

I think it was about how when one doesn't take the time to process their traumas and deal with their baggage they end up recreating it with those close to them. Also, mass cult demonic ritual unironically.

wtf are you even on about mr bait poster.

The Visit is really about old fucks horror. Too bad the movie is kinda bad.

My tactic will be to have like 5 kids and treat them very nicely so the burden of my old ass will be shared when the day comes

Until one of them becomes a drug addict and you either let them OD and the other kids all resent you for it or you have to blow your retirement funds on rehab, then all the other kids resent your for it and disown you either way.

I don't want to die but living takes so much effort.
If I feel like an anxiety-ridden shutin at a young age I can't imagine feeling happy when I'm old.

Trash humpers

I live with my grandma and take care of her cause she's kinda fine, she walks and her mind is a-okay so far but she can't shop or clean and she can't be arsed to cook most of the time so I do that, and I honestly can't even think what I'll do in a few years when I'll have to clean her shit and all that.
I haven't even given it much though until recently what I should do if I just wake up one day and she's dead.
God fucking damn.

There is enough horror already made, this guy was in the nursing home for about a decade before someone offered him an ipod. The guy's brain fucking shut down because of lack of stimuli and then you get some braindead fucking "Doctor" mumbling in his mush mouthed British accent about the virtue of music for curing people. Music had nothing to do with it. The guy was just rolled in his chair to a room where he was neglected for 16 hours then rolled back to a room to sleep during the night. Nothing going on, nothing to look forward to.

Eh, when you land in your old folks home you'll be permanently connected to an erotic roleplay session in a neural VR getup anyway

Man growing old before computers and smartphones were a thing must've been miserable

This was my first thought, too. The silliness of the premise really contrasts with the tragedy of becoming old, useless, and impotent. The mummy is a joke villain, but is still more than a match for two helpless old men.

The Taking of Deborah Logan

I turn 39 next month. It’s not so bad, friend. Eat some salads, do some crunches, get out and talk to girls. I’ve got a wife and two kids, and I’m genuinely happy.

That is how it should be. I'd prefer I Sky Burial, but some NIMBY fucks wouldn't allow it in the US.

My grandpa is still building stuff and starting DIY projects in his mid 80s but then I've seen 60 year olds whose brains have basically turned into mush they're basically as invalid as you can get without actually being disabled

Why the disparity

You gramps sounds like he keeps body and mind active through hobby projects and physical work
Usually those invalid 60 year olds have been doing nothing but get drunk after getting home from the same job for the last 40 years

>if executed properly

Thanks for the wholesome post

not killing yourself just before you reach the point where someone else has to wipe your ass.

Because there's a lot more to aging than counting revolutions around the sun.

Imagine the bump in quality when we start seeing legitimate senile-posting on this board.

People aren't "energy", buddy. If I take a hard drive, and grind it up into dust, is the data recoverable?

Only another 50-70 years, boys.

we are not going anywhere

imagine being this retarded

The thought of an ancient, dementia ridden Australian with 70 years of shitposting experience and absolutely nothing to do other than browse the internet is a hilariously terrifying prospect.

I'd rather not.

Wont be too different from the schizos already posting here

Imagine taking solace in the idea that someone with no relation to you, no memory of you, someone who has absolutely nothing in common with you other than some mystical "life-force" existing.

Even if something so absurd were true, it's a fate worse than death.

Does browsing Yea Forums have a negative or positive effect on dementia developing? I feel like youre keeping your brain more active than watching TV or something

Nigga you get eaten like when you eat a cow or a chicken, that's where it goes. Congratties on discovering the food chain my man.

45-55 is the kino time to anhero, 35-45 you are the top attractive to younger girls

It's the leading cause of mental illness in the world right now

No one cares about you, people always want something in return

> I feel like youre keeping your brain more active than watching TV or something
I kind of feel like it is the opposite. Depending on the show you are watching, it can be mentally engaging/stimulating. Browsing this site sometimes can be completely mindless and just consists of scrolling down and down and then pressing F5, every 5 minutes.

My granny's in a home. She's 102. Which means she's been looking death in the face every days for like 15, 20 years. She's been saying "This'll probably be my last christmas" or "I wonder if I'll get to my next birthday" for at least 10 years. So I guess you can get used to anything.

Well I meant posting and discussing as well. The /his/ board can be mentally stimulating if you ignore the recent /pol/ threads.

Twin Peaks: The Return is this

At what age is a good age for suicide-retirement.??
Like if you dont get any chronic disease or cancer.

Depends on how well you take care of yourself. Like there are some very lively, spritely 90 year olds around the place. Likewise there are some shattered, lumpen 70 year olds who can barely eve get out of a chair. With modern medicine and a reasonably healthy lifestyle (get consistent exercise, don't eat too badly) I think our generation could easily be actively living life into our 90s.
