'There's something very wrong with this place,' an elderly woman tells Max at one point in the trailer. Before long, Max is screaming for help and facing a bizarre medical experiment and bloody violence in the nightmarish retirement home.
'Hey man, I'm not going to hurt you,' Max in the teaser tells a resident cowering in a corner, only to turn suddenly and lunge at the young care home assistant.
Director James DeMonaco in a statement said of the horror thriller: 'When I set out to create The Home, I aimed to capture the spine-chilling eeriness of 70's horror, where suspense simmers and ultimately erupts into glorious chaos. Joining me is my Staten Island brother, Pete Davidson, who unveils a darker, dramatic side as his character navigates a bizarre group of residents in an old age home. The growing tension culminates in an epic blood-soaked finale, designed to leave audiences gasping, terrified, and cheering. I can't wait for everyone to visit The Home. Cover your eyes, folks.'
DeMonaco and Adam Canto wrote The Home, with Bill Block and Sebastian K. Lemercier producing.

Stream it: The best queer superheroes to inspire and entertain this Pride Month
All over the country, state legislators, school boards and federal agencies are endeavoring to diminish LGBTQ people — both in fiction and everyday life. It's times like this you might wish for a queer person with super-strength and lasers to swoop in and save the day. As we fight on the ground, here are some of the best superheroes with whom to celebrate Pride Month. Rather than have this list be dominated by characters from the two mega-titans of spandex, DC and Marvel, here's a general overview of what each universe has to offer in the way of LGBTQ representation: DC Extended Universe For DC, the animated 'Harley Quinn' series features one of comics' most iconic lesbian relationships, finally done right on television. 'Doom Patrol,' featuring gay hero Negative Man, remains a surrealist masterpiece. Finally, there's 'Peacemaker,' which showrunner James Gunn and star John Cena reimagined as a bisexual antihero. Watch it: All available on Max. Marvel Cinematic Universe The MCU has definitely been getting queerer in recent years. The underrated movie 'Eternals' showed an immortal hero living a quiet life with his husband and son. Cunning antihero Loki is canonically bisexual and genderfluid as well as the best time-travelling hero this side of 'Doctor Who' in the titular series. Then there's 'Agatha All Along,' which gave us the iconic line 'if you want a straight answer, ask a straight lady.' 'Miraculous' (2015) The French animated series 'Miraculous,' about Parisian teens who use magical jewels to fight crime as costumed heroes, is both a cult hit and a fantastic example of queer representation. From the rainbow-powered character Wishmaker to the unrequited crush of Vesperia on main character Ladybug, the show manages to competently contain a full gamut of real-world queer experiences in an affirming way. Watch it: Streaming on Disney+. 'Code Name: Dynastud' (2018) Not everything needs to be family-friendly and inspirational. In this raunchy comedy directed by Richard Griffin, a radical right-wing government has outlawed homosexuality. Luckily, a farm boy with some unprintable superpowers is off to save the day with jokes and an intolerance for intolerance. This film is pure schlock, but as a combination of revenge fantasy and satire of toxic machismo, it's definitely a fun time. Watch it: Steaming on Tubi. 'Surge of Power: The Stuff of Heroes' (2004) The entire ' Surge of Power ' franchise is a gift to the genre of camp. Real-life corporate attorney Vincent J. Roth plays fictional corporate attorney Gavin Lucas, the alter-ego of openly gay superhero Surge, who battles both crime and homophobia. This was a groundbreaking indie film in 2004, made after the rebirth of the genre but long before the media juggernaut of the MCU. It would be 13 years before 'Power Rangers' would put the first queer hero on the big screen, but Roth kept making 'Surge of Power' sequels and pop culture crossovers with other franchises.

'Back to the Future' cast seeks help in search for red guitar
'Back to the Future' cast seeks help in search for red guitar "Back to the Future" co-creator Bob Gale described the red electric guitar as an important piece of cinema history and memorabilia. Show Caption Hide Caption Original E.T. model from 1982 sci-fi classic film up for auction An original E.T. model from the 1982 film is up for auction along with other items from classic horror, science fiction, and fantasy films. Marty McFly's iconic red guitar from the original "Back to the Future" is missing, and the movie's cast and filmmakers are asking for the public's help to bring it back to the present. Musical instrument chain Gibson uploaded a video on Tuesday, June 2, revealing the cherry red Gibson ES-345 guitar hasn't been seen since 1985, when the film premiered. The video featured several stars from the movie, including Michael J. Fox (Marty McFly), Lea Thompson (Lorraine Baines McFly), Christopher Lloyd (Dr. Emmett Brown) and Harry Waters Jr. (Marvin Berry). "It's somewhere lost in the space time continuum, or it's in some teamster's garage," Fox said in the video. "If you know where it is, if you know who has it, call us, text us. We need that guitar. I need it." "Back to the Future" co-creator Bob Gale said the electric guitar is an important piece of cinema history and memorabilia. It's unclear who last had the instrument, with Lloyd saying "somehow it's vanished," but added the team will be forever grateful for its return. Where was the Gibson guitar last seen? The team behind the sci-fi adventure film rented the Gibson guitar from Los Angeles business Norman's Rare Guitars and returned it to them following production, according to The Hollywood Reporter. However, "Lost to the Future" director Doc Crotzer and Gibson's Brand Experience Director, Mark Agnesi, clarified they have no clue where it is now. "We've been looking into leads and rumors for a long time, and as you can imagine, we're talking 40 years ago, so memories fade," Crotzer told the outlet. "We weren't in the era of digital trails, or of receipts and things like that. There are conflicting reports too. You can find about as many different rumors as you can people." Crotzer and Agnesi said there have been many stories about where the guitar went, including the likely scenario that it was sold at the LA store. Yet, they are hoping the global search could lead to more concrete answers. "I knew that guitar came from Norm's, the first day on the job, I was looking in cases," Agnesi told The Hollywood Reporter. "Every time I'd go to storage to Norm's warehouse, I was checking ES-cases to see if he still had it. I've been looking since 2009, 15 years of looking for this thing. It's cool we're going to let the world know we're looking for it and everyone gets to join in." Anyone with information on the instrument's whereabouts is encouraged to submit a tip to the new Lost To The Future website or contact (855) 345-1955 through a text message or a phone call.

Taylor Swift's Old Album Streams Double on Spotify After She Buys Masters for 1st 6 Albums
Taylor Swift shocked fans when she announced that she bought back the masters for her first six albums, and fans showed their support by doubling the amount of streams on Spotify. After Taylor, 35, announced the deal on May 30, Spotify shared figures with The Hollywood Reporter that revealed that streams on all of the original versions of her older albums at least doubled that same day. The statistics were compared to the albums' average daily streams between April 1 through May 29. Speak Now – which was originally released in 2010 and was followed by Speak Now (Taylor's Version) in July 2023 – had the biggest individual spike as streams rose 430 percent globally. Meanwhile, Taylor's self-titled 2006 debut album and her 2017 Reputation album came in second and third. The debut album's streams jumped 220 percent, while Reputation's streams rose by 175 percent. The second and third most streamed albums may surprise fans, as they are the only two albums that she hasn't released re-recordings for. Meanwhile, her 2008 album, Fearless, was streamed 160 percent more, and 2012's Red jumped 150 percent. 1989 – which was released in 2014 – also saw more streams with a 110 percent boost. Following Taylor's massive day for streaming, it's no surprise that she's one of the most listened to artists on the streaming platform with over 82 million monthly Spotify listeners. Due to the announcement of her owning her masters, her overall streams jumped 40 percent on May 30. Scooter Braun previously bought the master recordings of Taylor's first six albums from Big Machine Label Group in 2019 for $300 million. He quickly faced backlash for the business deal and eventually sold the masters to investment firm Shamrock Capital in 2020. Over the years, the 'Better Than Revenge' singer has been open about how hurtful it was to not be able to own the rights to her music. 'Scooter has stripped me of my life's work, that I wasn't given an opportunity to buy,' she wrote in a Tumblr post at the time the sale was made. 'Essentially, my musical legacy is about to lie in the hands of someone who tried to dismantle it.' In light of the situation, Taylor decided to re-record her first six albums so that she could own her own. Nearly six years later, Taylor announced on her website that she had officially bought her masters from Shamrock Capital. 'I almost stopped thinking it could ever happen, after 20 years of having the carrot dangled and then yanked away,' she told her fans in the letter. 'But that's all in the past now. All of the music I've ever made … now belongs … to me.' Not only does Taylor officially own her masters, but she also bought back her videos, concert films, album art, photography and unreleased songs. 'All I've ever wanted was the opportunity to work hard enough to be able to one day purchase my music outright with no strings attached, no partnership, with full autonomy,' she said. 'I will be forever grateful to everyone at Shamrock Capital for being the first people to ever offer this to me. The way they've handled every interaction we've had has been honest, fair and respectful. This was a business deal to them, but I really felt like they saw it for what it was to me: my memories and my sweat and my handwriting and my decades of dreams. I am endlessly thankful. My first tattoo might just be a huge shamrock in the middle of my forehead.'
