🎥 Reel Review: The Home 

The Home provides Pete Davidson with his darkest role to date—and he rises to the occasion. He’s Max, a disturbed guy who works at a seedy retirement home where something is amiss. It’s a psychological horror film with a slow-burning mystery that blurs the difference between paranoia and reality. Davidson dials down the comedy and taps into something raw. It’s a solid performance in a narrative that doesn’t always come together.

The atmosphere is thick, the pace deliberate, and the scares more eerie than loud. It’s based on atmosphere and mood more than mayhem, and while some of the twists are predictable, the film is still engaging. There’s a sense of sadness that adds weight, even when the script goes off the rails. It’s not a game-changer, but it reveals a new side of Davidson—and it mostly works.

Mitten’s Verdict: The Home is eerie, slow-burning, and surprisingly effective—with Pete Davidson showing he’s got more range than expected. Rated: 5.7 out of 10.
