Bloody Disgusting

It's a strong debut by Weekes and nails the essential part of a horror movie: the horror.

Rated: 3.5/5

The film has much to say about grief, guilt, assimilation and the on-going refugee crisis. And on top of all that, it's also a nifty nerve-jangler.

His House is a terrifying debut that breathes a fresh voice into the haunted-house subgenre.

I cannot wait to see what director Remi Weekes does next. His House blew me away with how it successfully reinvents the haunted house story to explore the horrors of being an immigrant in a xenophobic world.

His House transcends the meaning of true horror. Weekes’ ability to infuse terror realistically and with clairvoyance is a true delight.

Rated: 4.5/5

The insanely high RT score is what kept me watching till the end, hoping to find something good in this awfully shallow script. The only saving grace is the acting, but there is no movie to be seen here. This is a meeting that could have been an email. It might have worked as a short film, but someone decided this should drag on with endless jump scares over an hour that would feel like three. The relevance of the immigrant crisis, combined with white guilt is my only explanation for the existence of this movie. If you do want to see a good psychological horror on how one learns to live with their ghosts, go watch The Babadook.
