Homebodies

description Homebodies Overview

Homebodies is a 1974 black comedy directed by Larry Yust. Its story follows elderly residents of a house threatened with demolition, who organize increasingly violent resistance when developers seek to remove them from their home. The film combines social criticism of redevelopment and displacement with dark humor, and its ensemble of older characters gives the conflict a collective, residential focus rather than a conventional individual hero.
