The Home

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.

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.

Any avid horror watcher knows that horror movies rarely if ever go above the 6 point score on imdb. My score is based on rating within the genre.

A solid performance by the lead that makes us care for him, great story, solid effects. The movie relies more on disturbing images and sounds than cheap jump scares.

The movie starts with an interesting mystery that slowly unravels, this does drag on a bit in the middle but gives a more than satisfactory conclusion.

Definitely worth a watch for horror enthusiasts.

I've never been a huge fan of Pete Davidson but I don't necessarily dislike him either - I just don't get it. To see him in a horror flick, though, had me intrigued. Overall, I didn't really find this "scary" but I liked it. I think what sums it up best for me, though, the ending is exactly what I expected from Pete Davidson (without going in with any such expectations). When it happened, I was just like, "oh, of course!"
