In the trailer for the horror thriller The Home, Pete Davidson‘s character receives some simple instructions. It’s his first day on the job at an eerily quaint retirement home, and there isn’t much to do. All his employers ask is that he leave the place just as he found it and do not venture up to the fourth floor under any circumstances. Easy enough. But rebellious by nature, Davidson lets his curiosity get the best of him. It nearly gets him killed.
“There’s something very wrong with this place,” one retiree tells him. Soon enough, Davidson starts to poke around to figure out what that might be. But then bloody bodies start falling from windows, patients roaming around in a haze prove to be more demon-like than he initially thought, and he eventually finds himself tied up with a needle coming towards his pupil.
“When I set out to create The Home, I aimed to capture the spine-chilling eeriness of 70’s horror, where suspense simmers and ultimately erupts into glorious chaos,” director James DeMonaco shared in a statement. DeMonaco is the writer-director behind the franchise series The Purge. He created The Home with producers Bill Block (Halloween) and Sebastien K. Lemercier (The Purge) and co-writer Adam Cantor.
Davidson stars in The Home alongside John Glover and Bruce Altman. He most recently appeared in the crime comedy Riff Raff and will appear in the forthcoming film The Pickup with Eddie Murphy and Keke Palmer.
“Joining me is my Staten Island brother, Pete Davidson, who unveils a darker, dramatic side as his character navigates a bizarre group of residents in an old age home,” DeMonaco said. “The growing tension culminates in an epic blood-soaked finale, designed to leave audiences gasping, terrified, and cheering. I can’t wait for everyone to visit The Home. Cover your eyes, folks.”
