Don’t Come Home (2025) is Netflix’s latest psychological horror thriller that promises to keep viewers on the edge of their seats. Set in a quiet, remote town, the story centers on a family who relocates to an inherited farmhouse hoping for a fresh start after a difficult year. However, what was meant to be a sanctuary quickly turns into a nightmare as strange occurrences begin to unfold in their new home.
The trailer opens with haunting visuals of the countryside and a voiceover from Sarah (played by a leading actress), the mother of the family, talking about the hope of healing and escaping the past. But as the family settles in, they notice eerie, inexplicable events that start small—a creaking floorboard, lights flickering, voices that seem to come from empty rooms. Their young son begins to speak to an unseen presence, describing chilling details about the house’s former occupants. He repeatedly tells his family, “They say, don’t come home,” intensifying the family’s growing dread.
As Sarah digs deeper into the history of the property, she discovers unsettling secrets tied to their new home—a series of tragic disappearances, unexplained deaths, and a warning left behind by the previous tenants. The suspense escalates as the family becomes trapped, facing relentless hauntings that seem to have a specific, dark purpose. Sarah and her husband struggle to protect their family while attempting to escape, but the house appears to have other plans.
The film’s director, known for creating atmospheric and unsettling horror, masterfully builds tension through shadowy visuals, disturbing sound design, and unexpected twists. With a chilling score and a cast delivering emotionally charged performances, Don’t Come Home creates a visceral horror experience that blurs the line between reality and supernatural terror.
With a budget reportedly around $50 million, Don’t Come Home combines the psychological intensity of classic horror with a modern approach, aiming to deliver a haunting, unforgettable story about a family’s desperate fight to uncover—and survive—the sinister forces at play in their own home. This Netflix original is poised to be a must-watch for horror fans.
