...beyond DeMonaco’s willingness to go for broke with gore, this sense of not entirely knowing where we stand gives the climax of The Home what edge it has.

Davidson shows he may not have the chops to carry a horror film, while DeMonaco fails to deliver any thrills this time. Ultimately, it’s a by-the-numbers effort that proves quite disappointing.

Davidson is in over his head conveying any sense of suspense or danger, and the blood-soaked climax is plays like a live action video game fantasy come to life.

The plot works its way through its hodgepodge of this ‘n’ that plot mechanisms to get to a conclusion that’ underwhelming and over the top at the same time.
