The Home was theatrically released by Lionsgate and Roadside Attractions on July 25, 2025, and received generally negative reviews from critics.
Plot
Max, a foster child whose older foster brother dies by suicide a decade prior, has grown into a graffiti artist who has been arrested for vandalism.
His foster father works out a deal so he can work community service and not receive a criminal record. He moves into a retirement home where he is to act as superintendent. He is told not to enter the fourth floor.
Max befriends some of the residents as he comes to discover multiple strange incidents such as residents breaking into his room at night, spontaneous resident bleeding and uncomfortable psychological disorders.
Max eventually makes his way to the fourth floor where the residents there are mostly lethargic and suffer from extreme bodily harm and psychoses. One resident on the fourth floor attacks him and he is told to not return.
One of the residents he befriends falls off the home and dies impaled on the fence. A shaken Max begins privately investigating the home and the residents and eventually returns to his foster parents' home.
There he meets two new younger foster children who show him a private room in the house with ritualistic symbols after his foster mother inadvertently reveals she knew the friendly resident. Max discovers the accosting fourth floor resident is actually his brother, whose suicide was staged.
He returns to the elderly home where he is captured and is told the entire staff and residents take fluid from foster childrens' eyes that gives them extended life, with his foster parents providing the victims. The resident who was impaled was feeling guilty about exploiting Max so they murdered her.
Max is placed on the fourth floor so his youth can be harvested for the cult. Max's brother harvests the eye fluid from the remaining fourth floor victims and himself, and he feeds Max all of their fluid which gives him enough stamina to kill the entire residential home's cult. After the storm, Max and the drained victims, having regained some of their strength by taking back the fluid from the dead cult, escape the home.
