In November 2025, the film was acquired by Uncork'd Entertainment for distribution in the United States, by Cinemaran for Latin America and Spain, and by Moon Shot Company for Poland.
Variety wrote "Its eerily quiet approach to a fantastical story casts a spell of greater potency than many bigger, louder possession tales stocked with frightful effects and other hyperbolic elements."
Dread Central said "The Home may feel familiar in its themes of familial trauma, but a smart script and stellar central performance help the film stand apart."
Film critic Alexandra Heller-Nicholas wrote "The Home is a challenging, tragic film that never surrenders to cliche or easy ethical binaries, and one that grants dementia a serious, considered focus, albeit told through the lens of supernatural fantasy."
