As a nurse I was conflicted when this came out. The director either heard of or witnessed someone sundowning (a real medical condition) and decided it was horror movie material. It really is like sleep walking, a form of dementia that happens to a % of the elderly population (usually nothing scary, just like old people getting lost in their own house at night and upset about it). It can be scary seeming (just like schizophrenia) but also it's kind of a shitty thing to use a medical condition to scare people (making the victims villains) in this movie. The "those aren't your grandparents" line did actually shock me, though. lol

Sundowning is a real thing. And it happens in the elderly when the sun begins to go down (in the evening). A lot are dementia patients. But it can happen with depression as well. Some get agitated, restless & anxious, so they can exhibit some odd behaviors. A lot of time they do have to be sedated at night. Most of them who have sundowners syndrome have already been prescribed meds to calm them each evening.
This was a great movie. Wasn’t sure I would make it, but I’m glad I did. lol! 😆

That's good you to are ok. Your good people, send some of that rain this way. I'll take some.
"A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked. then no harm will befall you, no disaster will come near your tent." Never seen this movie and it was ok.
