I very much enjoyed this...it's not exactly a horror film the way it was advertised but it was well paced and executed. It's definitely a conversation starter with it's themes on pain and grief.

It’s a thematically bold genre film that takes an unexpectedly sharp look at the immigrant experience while delving into themes of grief, denial, racism, and survivor’s guilt among other things.

There’s no doubt that director Remi Weekes has a talent for effectively building unnerving tension, and the suspense is naturally crafted through the general atmosphere and tone.

Educational, profoundly scary and an experience that delights in taking unexpected routes, this film is one of those debut features that makes you want to keep track of everything a director does from here on out.

It's a film that shows the horror of being a refugee, with the guilt of the past and the fear of losing oneself when we are forced to assimilate into a new world and culture.

Well-written, superbly directed and acted, and most of all, pretty damn scary.

Full Review | Original Score: 4 / 5 | Jun 26, 2021

A multi-layered British-set haunted house film that skillfully weaves socio-political commentary, an engrossing character study, and unnerving visual frights ...

A sterling example of the power that diverse voices in front of and behind the camera hold in expanding the [horror] genre's horizons.

First-time director Remi Weekes serves up plenty jump scares, but his real-world terrors are much more frightening.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 23, 2021

Both visually and narratively imaginative, the film's most impressive attribute is the fact that, despite the ghoulish happenings, it never loses sight of the stories that inspired it.

His House artistically commemorates the tens of thousands of people who have gone to watery graves escaping unbearable conditions in Africa, the Middle East and elsewhere.

His House is an extraordinary haunted-house film, and also an excellent horror film in the genre, "Is she crazy?"

Full Review | Mar 12, 2021

His House uses the supernatural to examine guilt, trauma, masculinity, and how outsiders assimilate into new cultures.

While a little too on the nose with its metaphors along with a dreadful procurement that would have used a little more scope, the film serves as a strangely accurate portrayal of going through the refugee experience.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 26, 2021

Despite its failings, the film is worth watching for the good work from its two leads, and because there are some sorts of horror that don't get talked about nearly as much as they should.
