James DeMonaco’s New Horror “The Home” Starring Pete Davidson Promises a Shocking Twist That Will Keep You Up at Night—Are You Ready to Face Your Fears?
That theme shaped not only the narrative but also the casting. “We thought of Pete right away,” he says. “We grew up near each other in Staten Island. I met him at an Italian restaurant during a Purge party for the first film. He was a busboy and came up and introduced himself. We have been friends ever since.” Though best known for comedy, DeMonaco saw something deeper in Davidson. “Everybody knows Pete as the comedian, but we knew him as a very soulful, serious guy. He’s been through a lot, and we felt he could channel that trauma into the role because, like the character, he experienced loss at a young age.”
