My Old Man's Place

1971 · 93 min

A slow-burn pressure cooker of unspoken trauma and barely contained rage, set in a quiet farmhouse that feels increasingly claustrophobic.

Tagline: His love was hate, his passion was violence
Overview: Two soldiers return from Vietnam with serious PTSD. They decide to go for a couple of days to a peaceful farm owned by the father of one of the men. A psychotic sergeant who also did tours in Nam, joins them. Personalities clash hard.
How it feels: Dark, tense, bleak and melancholic. Slow-burning and needs your attention.
About: Trauma, violence, isolation, family
Content: Strong violence and language. Mild gore and sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
