'The Home' Review: Pete Davidson Is Miscast in Dreadful Horror Movie
There’s a mystery to be solved in The Home, but it’s not the one the filmmakers intended. The real question — one that 97 torturous minutes of muddled storytelling, tiresome horror tropes and poorly delivered social commentary cannot answer — is who thought former Saturday Night Live cast member Pete Davidson could carry a horror movie? At its best, a horror film features an empathetic lead whose fate is of personal interest to the audience. But Davidson, an actor of limited range who’s made a career out of projecting an air of weapons-grade disinterest, cannot generate a scintilla of sympathy for his character. The only reason we root for him to succeed is that when he does, the movie will be over.
