Pete Davidson discovers the elderly residents and caretakers in a quiet retirement home are keeping chilling secrets that leads to brutal violence in the trailer for Lionsgate and Roadside Attractions’ The Home, which dropped on Thursday.
The Saturday Night Live alum plays Max, a young man sentenced to community service and caring for the elderly in the retirement facility, only to come in contact with the off-limits fourth floor, where residents are in need of “special care.”
“There’s something very wrong with this place,” an elderly woman tells Max at one point in the trailer. Before long, Max is screaming for help and facing a bizarre medical experiment and bloody violence in the nightmarish retirement home.
“Hey man, I’m not going to hurt you,” Max in the teaser tells a resident cowering in a corner, only to turn suddenly and lunge at the young care home assistant.
Director James DeMonaco in a statement said of the horror thriller: “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. 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. 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.”
DeMonaco and Adam Canto wrote The Home, with Bill Block and Sebastian K. Lemercier producing.
