‘The Home' Review: A Senior Moment of Terror
Scary movies have long considered the twilight years to be twilight zones. Fear of aging, the degenerating body, neglect: In horror, getting old is hell. Such is the case in the new supernatural horror film from the director James DeMonaco, the creator of the 'Purge' franchise. Pete Davidson stars as Max, a graffiti artist who avoids jail time by doing community service as a live-in custodian at a stately and sprawling retirement home in upstate New York. As soon as he arrives, the staff warns him to stay away from the fourth floor, the first ominous sign that something is frightfully amiss. The residents are friendly, if dotty, but something's up with the doctor (Bruce Altman), whose strange obsession with Max's eyeballs manifests in one of the film's more nerve-plucking encounters. As deathly things start happening around the home — messages about 'marked ones' appear on walls, and a resident dies by impalement on a fence — Max realizes the caretakers are anything but. Yet he stays put, one of many disbelief-suspending conundrums that the screenplay (by DeMonaco and Adam Cantor) puts the characters through with a straight face. It seesaws between creepy and dippy, although it pulls no punches in its indictment of the American elder care system. As he did in 'Bodies Bodies Bodies,' Davidson displays a terrific knack for horror dramedy, disarmingly playing an Everyman navigating a deranged world. The cast includes theater heavy hitters — John Glover, Jessica Hecht, Mary Beth Peil — who ace their assignments. The HomeRated R for gore and violence against elders. Running time: 1 hour 37 minutes. In theaters.

Get your summer chills in at 'yokai' exhibition in Nagoya
Japanese supernatural creatures known as yokai come to life through the power of digital technology in the "Yokai Immersive Experience Exhibition," which has opened in the city of Nagoya. The exhibition, which started on Saturday at the museum wing of the Kanayama Minami Building and will run through Sept. 23, features an immersive experience in which videos of spooky yokai depicted in artworks such as the "Hyakki Yagyo Emaki" picture scroll and works inspired by "Hyakumonogatari" supernatural storytelling are projected in 3D spaces. It also exhibits realistic 3D-modeled figures of yokai. Over 300 yokai creatures appear in the exhibition, which comprises eight rooms based on distinct themes such as the yokai birthplace and yokai processions. The main attraction is a room themed on a wild dance of yokai. Moving images of supernatural creatures fill the room's walls, ceiling and floor, accompanied by powerful music for a fully immersive experience. Explanations of yokai drawings and caricatures from the Edo Period (1603-1868) and Meiji Era (1868-1912) also help make the exhibition educational and enjoyable for adults. On weekends and the five-day period ending on Aug. 15, traditional yokai such as tengu and kappa will roam the venue. Visitors will also be able to take photographs with the life-size yokai.

Teaser Trailer For Osgood Perkins' Horror Film KEEPER Starrring Tatiana Maslany and Rossif Sutherland — GeekTyrant
Neon has released the first teaser for Keeper , marking the third horror project from director Osgood Perkins following Longlegs and The Monkey . The filmmaker has been on a roll lately, and this next outing looks just as unsettling. The film stars Tatiana Maslany ( Orphan Black ) and Rossif Sutherland ( Possessor ) as a couple celebrating their anniversary in a remote cabin. Things take a dark turn when Malcolm (Sutherland) suddenly heads back to the city, leaving Liz (Maslany) isolated. Alone in the woods, she comes face-to-face with an unspeakable evil lurking in the shadows of the cabin's sinister past. It looks like it's going to be psychological, and possibly supernatural, descent into terror. The script comes from Nick Lepard, and with Perkins' growing reputation for crafting deeply atmospheric horror, this first look suggests another chilling experience that dives headfirst into isolation and dread. Would you check out Keeper based on this teaser?

Tom Cruise 'has been a mentor for Ana de Armas'
Tom Cruise has been an "incredible mentor" to Ana de Armas. The 63-year-old actor and Ana, 37, have a "special work relationship" and the actress has "prepped" all summer for their first project together - a supernatural ocean thriller called Deeper. A source told People: "Tom is crazy hardworking and she's very excited to work with him. She calls it an opportunity of a lifetime." Tom and Ana have been romantically linked to each other over recent months. However, an insider has insisted that their relationship is "not romantic" and that they are simply friends and work partners. The source shared: "Tom is an incredible mentor to Ana. She has nothing but amazing things to say about him." Tom is still one of Hollywood's most bankable stars, and he's never lost his passion for filmmaking. The actor recently admitted that he's fulfilling a "life-long dream" by working in the movie business. He told Extra: "It's such a privilege to do what I do. "It's been a life-long dream of mine to be able to do this and to make movies ... I truly, I love it. That is my, I don't know, it's not what I do, it's who I am. "It is my honour to entertain." Tom is willing to put his body on the line in order to make the best movies possible. The actor - who has suffered various injuries during his career, including a broken ankle while shooting 2018's Mission: Impossible - Fallout - explained: "I fly aerobatic airplanes, I fly jets, I fly helicopters, and this took all of our ability and all of our skill to be able find the camera angles to tell this story." Tom needed to be in tip-top physical shape to shoot the Mission: Impossible movies, and he felt particularly proud of the action scenes in Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning. He said: "Physically, what I had to do to prepare for this thing was quite extreme, and I can tell you this - whatever people see in the trailer or on TV, it is not even a taste of what they have in store for them when they see this film."
