Over The Hill (2007)
Synopsis
The elderly residents of the Over The Hill Rest Home are whiling away the years in a leisurely fashion. Life is rosy and slow, until a trio of grannies stumble upon a sinister secret lurking behind the flock wallpaper. And before you can say ‘zimmer frame’ the grannies are thrown into a high-octane game of cat and mouse with the nursing staff.
