Critics have described the film as “engaging, shocking, and thought-provoking.” At its core, COME HOME delivers a chilling tale: A man’s trembling hand, while crafting a gift for his daughter, sets off a fateful choice that spirals into a harrowing battle against inner demons, testing the limits of his sanity.
Director’s Vision
“The film started as an exercise for Lance and me to develop a shorthand as director and actor,” says Pecci. “We wanted to focus on creating a character that could emotionally resonate with an audience in such a short period of time. But it quickly evolved into something much bigger—and terrifying.”
This haunting short also serves as a proof of concept for a larger feature film centering around a relentless demon that won’t stop knocking until you answer its call.
