A troubled man takes a job at a retirement home in this R 18+ 2025 horror and finds residents and caretakers hiding sinister secrets. Digging into the building and its forbidden fourth floor ties the place to his own foster past. Action violence, strong language, and sexual-assault references run through it. ClearAge puts it around R 18+ for mature older teens and adults.
Uplifting themes
Even as the place turns ugly, Max starts trying to help people in the home instead of only looking out for himself. That small turn toward care is the lone gentler beat in an otherwise brutal story Someone keeps trying to do right even with flawed choices along the way. That imperfect effort is the role-model beat parents can still point to
