The Home review Pete Davidson gets spooky with retirement-facility horror
Briefly

Pete Davidson's character, Max, is a graffiti artist undergoing community service at a retirement home due to his troubled past following his foster brother's death. This setting offers an unsettling backdrop where the specter of aging is explored within the horror genre. The film grapples with the contradictions of aging, often presenting the elderly as either horrific monsters or tragic victims. Although it attempts to blend these elements into a horror narrative akin to 'Get Out,' it lacks thematic consistency and cohesive storytelling, leading to a dissatisfying conclusion.
Max, played by Pete Davidson, confronts his nightmares while completing community service in a haunted retirement home filled with disturbing imagery.
The film explores aging as a theme but falls short of delivering a consistent vision, struggling to balance fear of age with the creation of genuine horror.
