Pete Davidson plays a man who gets in trouble with the law and is given community service at a retirement home. Of course, something is horribly wrong and it’s easy to tell for 2 reasons:
1. It was written/directed by James DeMonaco, the creative force behind the “Purge” films.
2. The overbearing music dominates the film with great portent.
From the opening scene, DeMonaco shoots this with an immense atmosphere of evil. This constantly creepy vibe gets a bit tiring, as Davidson’s character works to find out what’s so horrible about the place. When the final encounter finally starts, it’s a brutal bloodbath. Davidson once again shows his strong acting skills, which is a good thing because he’s in almost every frame. The ultimate plot reveal is a bit absurd, but it serves to motivate the big bloody finish, which is really the only horror element in the film. NOTE: This was actually shot in 2022 before Davidson had his tattoos removed.
