Overview

Amos Lasher loses his wife and home in an accident, finding himself in the care of the state, or specifically speaking, the Sunset Nursing Home. Here he finds the head nurse, Daisy Daws, ruling the cowed patients with an iron hand, but as his determination to get out of Sunset grows, the more sinister his situation becomes.

    Highly derivative of 'Cuckoo's Nest, but none the less engaging at times for its story and performances. The mistreatment of old people is often touched upon but not usually highlighted enough in film; however, the tone here is often at odds with the characters and plot to be especially memorable. Nonetheless, Douglas is a commanding actor, and Montgomery does a good turn as the villainess. Along with the decent enough story, they give some gravitas to a TV movie generally confused in its own unrealised aesthetics. Either a touch more humour or seriousness might have done the trick. As it is...
