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.

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.

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.

I hadn't seen a Pete davidson movie is a while and am glad I caught this one on the big screen. In The home Pete davidson is a foster child whose rough upbringing and bad "choices" land him in community service at a retirement home of sinister activity. The film covers some tough topics such as experimental drugs, mind control, media distraction, "vampiric" energy draining, and governmental projects. I'm happy to see Pete and the writers remind people or introduce those unknowing of the issues within our media, institutions, homes, and day to day life in which some sinister minds drain the unknowledged of energy and lead them down paths not ideally holy. I feel the movie was rough around the edges with a creative story making for a "expect the unexpected" ending. I could read where the movie was going but never could have guessed exactly what went down. Is a good watch while it's out and won't be out long only to disappear in between platforms leaving only those willing to buy it able to see.

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!"
