The Home

Great build up. A bit slow, and I don't say that in a negative way; absolutely necessary for the way the story plays out. I believe the beginning of the movie, with its here and there surprises, just helps the epic ending. So great. Don't listen to those who say "it's boring." At no point is this movie boring. Horror buffs should and will appreciate this one for sure.

That should be the name of the movie.

I watched The Home as this week's secret screening selection. I knew nothing about it but I love horror movies. Yet it turned out to be the type where the horror comes entirely from grossing you out; from trying to be as nasty as possible in order to make you uncomfortable and unsettled.

I'm sorry, but that type of horror is garbage. And I promise I'm not sensitive. I prefer rated R movies. I love carnage candy. And I'm familiar with body horror... The Substance is my favorite movie of last year. But The Home is disgusting in a completely pointless and unscary way.

Aside from that, the acting and dialogue are awful. And the tension building, creepiness and jump scares are useless.

This is one of the extremely rare times I left the theater. I couldn't make it past the 40 minute mark. I was getting nothing from it. The only reason I gave it 2 out of 10 is some pretty great practical effects.

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.

This one is insanely different in least likely places but it effectively delivers the best ending you've ever seen. There's a decent set up here and some creepy old people. Add a goofy Pete Davidson here and some very off putting content and you've got one of the most original horror movies.

It's hard not to give spoilers here but let's just say it's one of the craziest big reveals I've seen in a movie. Who are the senior citizens and what is it they want? Plus what's up with the forbidden spot in the home? Pete Davidson adds some humor to his role but at the same time does vulnerability well.

What exactly are the secrets being held is a mystery. Slowly we are introduced to not only creepy folks but unusual circumstances connected to our hero on a personal level.

I promise you the big reveal and mystery is worth it! Pete Davidson does a decent job as a conflicted character with little to no direction in life. Horror movie lovers will love it!

Bloody good time for Pete I thought it was his best movie yet. Especially when u get to the end with a crazy twisted ending that is so disturbing I couldn't stop thinking about it while I was eating Taco Bell lol. I find the home to to amazing. I even almost pooped my self n screamed but that great.
