The homage to 1970s horror is coming next month.
Lionsgate and Roadside Attractions will bring THE HOME to theaters July 25. Directed by James DeMonaco (THE PURGE franchise) from a script he wrote with Adam Cantor, it stars Pete Davidson, John Glover and Bruce Altman. The synopsis: “A rebellious twentysomething [Davidson] is sentenced to community service at a quiet retirement home. The residents on the fourth floor are strictly off-limits, said to require ‘special care.’ As his suspicions grow and he digs deeper, he uncovers a chilling secret that puts both the residents’ lives and his own in grave danger.”
“When I set out to create THE HOME,” DeMonaco says, “I aimed to capture the spine-chilling eeriness of ’70s 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 bloodsoaked finale, designed to leave audiences gasping, terrified, and cheering. I can’t wait for everyone to visit THE HOME. Cover your eyes, folks.”
