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?
More Than Just Scares
There’s a rhythm to The Home—a quiet build that crashes into a final act full of blood and reckoning. “It’s a generational reckoning,” DeMonaco says. “What the older generation has taken, what they’ve left behind, what the next one has to inherit. I look at my daughter and wonder what kind of world she’s getting. Pete’s character carries that.” Though it plays like horror, The Home is built to resonate on deeper levels. “I always try to infuse those layers,” he says. “I don’t want to preach, but there are layers there for the people who want it.” DeMonaco borrows a term from Martin Scorsese: “smuggler cinema”—using genre as a vessel to explore bigger ideas. “Horror’s perfect for that,” he adds.
