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

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.

4.5/5

His House is a story of guilt, loss, and the challenges of assimilating to another culture. It demonstrates fiction’s ability to foster empathy, and proves there is value in using a well-orchestrated scare-fest as a vessel for such powerful themes.

10/10

This is exactly the type of storytelling that the horror genre excels at. It amplifies real human emotions and fears to the level of overload, resulting in a uniquely empathetic experience.

Initially I thought that this was simply a contemporary haunted house movie. But I was very wrong. The movie disguises itself as a horror movie but in truth it's more of a psychological thriller and a movie about loss, grief and self-perception. There are some very scary scenes and there is a strong supernatural element but the underlying message of this film deviates from most other horror movies. If you like arthouse cinema, flawless acting and some good scares, packed into an overseeable 90 minute movie night then this film is probably for you.

This movie was not bad , but not my favorite. The beginning first half of the movie was very interesting and I love the use of darkness and silence to build tension in the scenes but ultimately , that all went downhill in the second half. Once the wife started being able to communicate with the ghosts and the ghost, helping her connect with whatever was she was connecting with it got weird in a bad way that was no longer horror but more like an analogy of self and pain of loss. Now I'm not against having movies with a deeper meaning and diving into themes that are deeply emotional but I really feel this movie missed an opportunity to be a very scary feature. The male lead was excellent , and when he was losing his mind and going through fighting the demons and his hallucinations , it really was scary and his performance was believable. The female character was also played well, but I think that her side of the script was very lacking and it felt like watching two different films.

Seeking asylum in England, a young couple from war-torn South Sudan struggles to adjust to their new life in a decaying government-provided home. They soon discover a malevolent entity living within the walls, fueled by the haunting secrets and trauma of their harrowing journey. The film blends traditional haunted house tropes with a devastating exploration of the immigrant experience and survivor's guilt.
