Pete Davidson-Led Global Warming Movie 'THE HOME' Will Feature "Heavy Horror" & “Crazy Mythology”

James DeMonaco’s name is one that many horror fans know in regards to his breakthrough hit film, ‘THE PURGE’ and fans are eager to see what happens next in the franchise but before we get to THE PURGE 6, DeManaco has a new horror film on the way, ‘THE HOME’ starring SNL alum Pete Davidson that the director describes as being “not the Pete we've become accustomed to at all, and he's wonderful.”

In an interview with Collider, DeMonaco opened up about the upcoming movie and gave a very promising update that the film is already completed. DeMonaco revealed that he co-wrote the script with his best friend, saying: "I wrote that with a buddy, actually, a local cop who’s my best friend. We were sitting during COVID in my backyard. His family and my family were in, as we used to call it, the bubble. His two boys played with my daughter a lot in the backyard, so it was the only other family we saw."

DeMonaco went on to reveal exactly who Davidson is playing in the film and how he winds up encountering some "heavy horror."

“Not to give too much away, but it's about him. He's a graffiti artist. He gets in trouble with the law and his community service instead of doing jail time, he has to live and become the new super at an old age home. So it’s about older generations dealing with the youth in America. Obviously then it kicks into heavy horror and some crazy mythology about what these people are and who they are and what they're doing in this home, how that affects the youth of America.”

DeMonaco explained that The Home is a psychological thriller and that one of his biggest inspirations for it was Rosemary’s Baby.

The outlet continues: "Without saying too much, I don't want to give away my metaphors and my pretentious part of my writing process because I think it exists unto itself as a genre, a psychological horror film. One of my favorite films is Rosemary's Baby." He called The Home "a Rosemary's Baby kind of film without the devil worship."

DeMonaco went on to say that he chooses horror as a storytelling venue because he thinks “horror, sci-fi, and action are great ways to metaphorically explore without proselytizing.”

Even though The Home is finished, James DeMonaco is working with the head of Miramax Bill Block in order to shop the movie around for distribution, so he has “no idea” if that "will take a week or a year," so he'll only be able to unveil a release date after that.

We’ll see where THE HOME lands as far as being too preachy but we’re excited about what horror elements it will bring to theaters when its released.
