Pete Davidson is out of his depth in 'The Home,' while 'The Purge' filmmaker James DeMonaco does not manage to build on that franchise's success.

As a young teen, Davidson — now 31 and expecting his first child — worked as a busboy at a local Italian restaurant DeMonaco frequented. They stayed friends over the years, and when DeMonaco needed a lead for his horror film, he knew Davidson would be right for the role.

The comedian stars as a troubled former foster kid who gets a job working at a secret-haunted care center for the elderly.
