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.

This movie was good, but seeing it as a 100% rating, I was expecting it to be a horror movie with lots of jump-scare’s and a big plot twist. It overall wasn’t a bad movie, just very slow burn and not a jump-scare type movie.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

As someone who loves horror movies and watches them almost everyday, this movie was not scary at all. This movie made me feel like the writers looked up "scary things" and then added them to the movie. Very disappointed.

An actual scary horror film, and for a British person, even though I'm not a refugee, it's quite relatable, which helps, very atmospheric and well-made, couldn't recxom enough quite underrated in the horror community as well from what I've seen
