‘The Home’ Review: Pete Davidson Deadpans His Way Through a Cynical Horror Freak-Out
Image
Early in James DeMonaco’s The Home, the deeply troubled Max (Pete Davidson) arrives at the retirement home where he’s been assigned to work as a janitor for community service hours, and it’s instantly clear that something is really off about the place. Max first eyes a creepy-looking old person staring out of a window on the top floor before walking inside the home and hearing 1930s big band music playing slightly out of tune on a Victrola and, then, peeping into a room to find an elderly woman in a porcelain doll mask having sex.

It’s all meant to be ominous, but there’s a randomness to these supposedly unsettling sights and sounds that we glimpse throughout the film—a hodgepodge of jump scares and disturbing imagery in search of a cohesive story. DeMonaco and Adam Cantor’s script is full of twists and turns that...

The Home trailer: James DeMonaco, Pete Davidson horror film reaches theatres in July
Image
There’s a new horror film called The Home coming our way from The Purge franchise creator James DeMonaco – and at one point, we had heard that it was going to receive a theatrical release in early 2024. That obviously didn’t happen, but now, Roadside Attractions and Lionsgate have given the movie another release date: July 25th, 2025. With that date right around the corner, a trailer for the film has dropped online, and you can check it out in the embed above.

Scripted by DeMonaco and Adam Canto, The Home sees Pete Davidson (Saturday Night Live) taking on the role of Max, a troubled man who starts working at a retirement home and realizes its residents and caretakers harbor sinister secrets. As he investigates the building and its forbidden fourth floor, he starts to uncover connections to his own past and upbringing as a foster child. Marilee Talkington (See), Matthew Miniero...

The Home: James DeMonaco, Pete Davidson horror film gets an R rating for strong bloody violence
Image
While we continue to wait to hear if The Purge franchise creator James DeMonaco is going to have the opportunity to make The Purge 6 (last we heard, he was sounding confident that the sequel is going to happen), DeMonaco has been hard at work on another horror project, The Home. First discussed in 2021, that film stars Pete Davidson (Saturday Night Live) – and the Motion Picture Association ratings board has just revealed that The Home has earned an R rating for strong bloody violence and gore, language and some sexual content.

The film doesn’t have a release date yet, but now that it has a rating its release shouldn’t be too far off.

Scripted by DeMonaco and Adam Canto, The Home sees Davidson taking on the role of Max, a troubled man who starts working at a retirement home and realizes its residents and caretakers harbor sinister secrets. As...

The Home: Pete Davidson is not funny in James DeMonaco horror film
Image
The Purge franchise creator James DeMonaco is hoping to make The Purge 6 – and he’s sounding confident that the sequel is going to happen. But before that project goes into production, DeMonaco is wrapping up work on a different horror project, The Home. First discussed in 2021, that film stars Pete Davidson (Saturday Night Live) – and during an interview with Variety, DeMonaco said that the actor, best known for his comedic performances, is not funny in their horror thriller collaboration.

DeMonaco said, “He’s not funny in it, to be quite honest. This is a very, very dramatic, straightforward role. He’s the straight man while chaos is happening all around him and he’s reacting to it. But he just came in knowing what he had to do and he stepped up completely.“

Scripted by DeMonaco and Adam Canto, The Home seems Davidson taking on the role of Max, a...
