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 Bryce Hanson Horror Movie Talk 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. Rated: 10/10 Sep 18, 2025 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 Read all reviews

Mike C No script, no drama, weak acting, boring music, boring predictable trite twists, as horrifying as a custard cream Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/06/25 Full Review Vasilije J Really good movie not really scary but very disturbing, excellent written. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/04/25 Full Review Matt H. Mysterious, thrilling, and moving. A window into the world of immigrants who are out in impossible situations and the pain they live with. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/04/25 Full Review Michson H. Horrendous movie. Zero scares. Very forgettable. I have no clue why this was highly rated. Who are these people that are giving the ratings? Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/26/25 Full Review Aun M Not truly a horror film. This is a film about guilt, acknowledgement, and forgiveness. Very well-acted and directed. It deserves its high rating. It's slow going, and I don't have anything nice to say about it. How did this film receive such a great score? Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 09/24/25 Full Review Vance M His House tackles enormous grief and trauma in a remarkably loving way. The movie demonstrates what the horror genre is capable of when storytellers document real, human issues. The scariest things in horror come from real life. This movie has a lot of substance while also satisfying what your average horror fan is looking for. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/24/25 Full Review Read all reviews
