Old People is a German Horror Movie by Andy Fletscher.Ella (Melika Foroutan) is a divorced woman who's taking her children Laura (Bianca Nawrath) and Noah (Otto Emil Koch) to the wedding of her sister Sanna (Maxine Kazis) to her boyfriend Malick (Richard Manualpillai). While there, she also runs into her ex-husband Lukas (Stephan Luca), and his new girlfriend Kim (Anna Unterberger), and takes her kids to pick up her father Aike (Paul Faßnacht) so he can be in attendance. The wedding goes off without a hitch, and everyone turns in for the night.However, it's not all happiness that night. For some reason, the elderly have suddenly started turning violent, attacking and killing every young person they come across. Soon the family find themselves huddled in the house trying to survive (except Aike, who's gone out to join the other elderly).The movie was released on September 8th, 2022. It was distributed by Netflix on October 7th of the same year.

Sock It to Them: The old guy takes a (presumably) metal ball off of what looks like an old bed post and puts it in his sock after entering the cottage Sanna and Malick are in. He uses it to kill Malick.

Bittersweet Ending: Aike, Laura, and Noah have survived their encounter with the murderous old people, and have escaped with Alex to safety. However, Laura's, Noah's, and maybe Alex's parents are dead, and the area is still crawling with hostile old folks.

Token Good Teammate: Aike. Even though he's seen with the old people, he doesn't really attack anyone. In fact, in the end, he saves his grandkids by killing the Old Guy.

Mondegreen: When talking about the old underground tunnels beneath the house, Noah says that the "butters" used to bring meals to the house through them from the cottage. He explains to his mom that the butters were the old servants, causing her to correct him that they were "butlers".

Bludgeoned to Death: Two examples. In the prologue, one Mr. Reincke beats a woman to death with the bottom of his oxygen tank. The Old Man kills Malick by beating him to death with a metal ball from an old post stuffed in his sock.

Kill the Lights: While it's not immediate, when the door to the cottage opens and the Old Guy walks in, the candles are blown out by the wind, which likely signifies how he's going to kill Sanna and Malick, who are having sex upstairs at the time.
