The Home (2025) Movie Review – Pete Davidson Shines in a Suspenseful, Unpredictable Thriller

When it comes to horror-thrillers, there are few settings more unsettling than a nursing home. The Home (2025), directed by James DeMonaco, takes full advantage of this creepy backdrop and delivers a dark, unpredictable ride that keeps you guessing until the final moments.

Pete Davidson stars in a role that proves he’s more than just a comedic face. His performance is layered, intense, and often vulnerable — making him the anchor of the film. From the start, Davidson’s character pulls you in, and you can’t help but feel both his confusion and determination as the story unfolds. It’s one of his strongest performances yet, showing depth we haven’t seen from him before.

What makes The Home so gripping is its unpredictability. Most horror or suspense films tip their hand early, letting you piece together the outcome before the third act. Not here. This movie thrives on mystery. Just when you think you know what’s happening, another twist throws you off balance. I couldn’t predict what would come next — and that alone makes it worth the watch.

The setting is equally terrifying. There’s something inherently creepy about old folks’ homes — the long halls, the strange quiet, the secrets tucked away in every room. The Home turns that unsettling vibe up to eleven, transforming what should be a place of care and rest into something sinister. Every shadow feels dangerous, every character seems suspicious, and you’re left on edge the entire time.

On the technical side, DeMonaco’s direction is sharp. The pacing is deliberate, rewarding viewers who pay close attention. Small details matter — blink, and you might miss a clue. The cinematography captures both the claustrophobic hallways and the psychological tension, while the sound design builds an atmosphere that keeps your skin crawling.

Final Verdict

The Home is more than just a horror flick — it’s a well-executed thriller with heart-pounding suspense and a breakout performance from Pete Davidson. It’s eerie, unpredictable, and psychologically unnerving in all the right ways. If you’re a fan of smartly directed horror that doesn’t rely on cheap jump scares, this one deserves a spot on your watchlist.
