The Home

First I think this is one of Pete Davidsons better performances. He portrays a young man upset with the world and torn up from the loss of his older brother.

The first half of the movie is slow but sets a decent atmosphere. Making you question if anything is really wrong or if old folks homes are just that creepy. Just as the movie was starting to lose me the second half kicks in and starts answering questions and hooking you.

Then that finale just goes bonkers. Great finish was worth the watch.

WARNING lots of eye stuff.

There's no tension building here. Right from the start, the filmmakers seem eager to show they've watched a graveyard of B-class horror flicks and want to flaunt their editing skills, sound design, and repulsive visuals-all at once. Naturally, it doesn't work. We aren't scared. We're laughing, cringing, and rolling our eyes while waiting for this torture to end.

Pete Davidson helps a bit to this concept because we already know him as a funny guy. His acting was okay, but he seemed like an NPC stuck on a bad video game level.

My goodness my fellow reviewers that are so poorly rating this.

Pete Davidson was great as a nonchalant 20 something. The home was beautiful. The mystery unique. What is there to not enjoy about this film. I thank God , it's something different from all the generic horror/thriller's out now a days. I never saw the story coming to the end which is brutal and gory for those who enjoy that .

My only complaint is as much as I love Pete Davidson he seemed to old to play the role. I really enjoyed this off the wall thriller/horror.

The show is a little slow in the way it moves forward in its story, and it also tries to be a little too extreme for my tastes. I thought Davidson did amazing for branching out to a roll he wouldnt normally do. I really love the guy and will always enjoy watching him on screen. I did love the twists in this one, but I just found it to be a little too out there overall. I might have gave this a higher rating if it wasnt for the rooftop scene. It didnt need that when he could have given what was needed and was already doing. I just dont understand why they felt the need to do that.

One of the most common themes in horror movies is that things aren't what they seem. That gets taken to the extreme in "The Home", starring Pete Davidson as a young man having to do community service in a retirement facility, only to discover that there's more than meets the eye (and that last part isn't just a metaphor).

This is the second horror movie in which I've seen Davidson, after "Bodies Bodies Bodies". Both have political themes, the former having looked at people whose obsession with their online images leads to disastrous consequences. Not what you'd expect for a "Saturday Night Live" cast member, but I'd say that he's doing good work. Not a masterpiece, but worth seeing.
