The sinister film is about a woman who travels back to her hometown with her two children for her sister's wedding.
But in a sadistic twist, she find herself defending her family against blood-seeking pensioners.
And while most horror movies have a chilling twist, it seems as though this English adaptation of a German shocker has taken things to an even darker level, leaving viewers scared.
Taking to Twitter, one viewer wrote: "Not entirely sure why I’m still watching It’s creepy, disgustingly horrifying, sadistic, and just messed up."
Another viewer said: "I'm watching #oldpeople on Netflix and I truly have never been more disturbed."
A third added: "#OldPeople on #Netflix is nasty asf. Being more brutal than I was expecting it to be."
While some reviews of the film have been favourable, others have been less than impressed.
One reviewer gave it a rating of two out of ten and said: "This is bargain basement from beginning to end."

The added: "But what follows is cheap, grey, too dark, entirely generic, with the oldsters pretty much depicted as zombies. Some violence, plenty of goo and gross-out moments, but zero suspense or viewer involvement."
Meanwhile another reviewer found the film, which was released last year, utter diabolical. They said: " A bunch of old German people running around and killing everyone in sight. Its not new or a fresh take on a zombie apocalypse, Its just plane out lame."
