Meagan Navarro Bloody Disgusting It's a strong debut by Weekes and nails the essential part of a horror movie: the horror. Rated: 3.5/5 Feb 2, 2021 Full Review Tim Grierson Screen International 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. Feb 2, 2021 Full Review Robert Daniels Polygon His House is a terrifying debut that breathes a fresh voice into the haunted-house subgenre. Feb 2, 2021 Full Review Patrick Beatty ABC4 Utah This is definitely a film that’s going to freak out a lot of people. Jul 23, 2025 Full Review Isabella Liistro Loud and Clear Reviews Director Remi Weekes challenges a common horror trope using real-world commentary. Jan 18, 2025 Full Review Brandon Stanwyck InSession Film 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. Jul 16, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Peter F Not really a horror movie, but rather a polished, tough drama gets under the skin. This is not to say it isn't scary - there are plently of horror elements and they are pretty scary. It's just the movie drives homes rather forcefully that the much bigger horror is what men do to each other and the suffering it causes. Not a perfect movie but a lot to like about it: acting and camera work are consistently sublime, dialogue a bit uneven but good too. Directing obviously on the strong end too. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/20/25 Full Review Tommy Z Amazing film debut. Not really a horror movie. This is a movie about guilt, acknowledgement, and forgiveness. Very well acted and directed. Deserves its high score. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/18/25 Full Review james c Boring movie. Not scary at all. Slow going, I don't really have anything good to say about it Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/10/25 Full Review Jaded C I have zero idea how this got a 100? It's boring, at the end of the day. The relationship between the main couple was not believable, for one. We were supposed to believe they were in love, but they never really showed us any of that. Also, the one twist it had shows us that Bol is a bad enough person to do what he did, so why should we believe that his conscience is eating at him? And is that actually what it is or is it what his wife thinks it is? Or is it a metaphor for them both deciding to adapt in their new home? The movie was so slow and uneventful, too. As a horror film, it was not scary at all. Every relationship in the movie felt off. None of them gave the viewer any reason to believe that they even liked each other. I just felt it was bad, all the way around. Complete waste of time. I definitely would not recommend or rewatch. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/09/25 Full Review Gregory B Amazing, thought-provoking, outstanding. This movie is a one in a life time commentary on truma, grief and survivors guilt. I highly recommend watching this movie. The scares are few and far between but the emotion from the story telling can carry this movie all on its own. - G Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/26/25 Full Review Stephen C Meant to scare me in 1 hour and 33 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In British English with American English subtitles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/04/25 Full Review Read all reviews
