Homebodies is a 1974 American satirical comedy horror film directed by Larry Yust, and starring Ian Wolfe, Ruth McDevitt, Peter Brocco, Frances Fuller, Paula Trueman, Linda Marsh, and Douglas Fowley. The film centers on a group of elderly residents in a Cincinnati tenement building who resort to murder when their building is condemned in the wake of urban redevelopment. Production of Homebodies began around 1973. The film was originally intended to be set in New York City, but was instead filmed and set in Cincinnati due to the significant urban redevelopment occurring there at the time. The film's cast is largely made up of veteran character actors who had appeared in numerous old Hollywood films, largely in supporting roles. Homebodies premiered in Cincinnati on August 13, 1974, distributed by Avco Embassy Pictures. Its theatrical release expanded later that month, and it screened in numerous U.S. cities over the following year. The film was met with criticism at the time of its release...
