A power-house debut from Remi Weekes, deftly balancing social commentary with old school horror (and for once, without zombies).The movie pulls you inside the life of a Sudanese refugee couple assigned to an apartment in London after a harrowing escape via boat from their home country. In addition to the nightmare of their experience, they’ve got a potential poltergeist.
Movies often face-plant while struggle to convey what is real, a dream, a backstory, or something else. “His House” weaves these shifts expertly. And you will not see the twist coming in the last act.
Here’s hoping Remi Weekes joins Ari Aster and Robbert Eggers, bringing horror to a new level of intellectual freakiness.
A glimpse of the horrors faced by refugees escaping war-torn countries for a better life in Britain is provocatively probed in this stylish supernatural horror film from talented writer-director Remi Weekes. **His House** unexpectedly blends the anxiety, confusion and alienation felt by a pair of asylum seekers from South Sudan with a nightmarish malevolence born from dark magic and folklore.

Very Good Not what you think
It starts well, midway you think it’s following a standard horror movie course, but stick with it! Very well done. Terrific ending!
Better than a good chunk of Netflix’s offerings in the horror genre! [+62%]
The horrors that asylum-seekers have to put themselves through when meshed with a haunted house storyline is what we get in Netflix’s His House. Bol (Dirisu) and Rial (Mosaku) are refugees fleeing their war-torn country of Sudan; they brave bullets, rough waters, and even lose their daughter as they finally arrive in Britain where they’re granted probational asylum. They’re temporarily moved into a shabby, crumbling house in the London suburbs, and that’s when the past begins to haunt them.His House is a pretty strong directorial debut from Remi Weekes, who has also written the screenplay. It may just be a 93-minute film, however, His House manages to dive equal parts deep into the struggles of immigrants as well as survivor guilt. While Bol tries to blend in with the new surroundings (he sings football anthems at bars, changes his attire, and prefers to use tables while eating), Rial holds firmly onto their culture (she wears their daughter’s necklace, dresses in vibrant colors, and sits on the floor while eating).
The scares, the greatest thing about horror films, are well-conceived. Weeks mixes jumpscares with more atmosphere-heavy ones in an effort to keep viewers on edge. Practical and visual effects are put to solid use in these sequences, though some fare better than others. A little inspiration has been drawn from films like The Conjuring and Lights Out, in a good way. Weekes, through some effective crafting that blur the lines between fantasy and reality, elevates His House beyond the conventional haunted house movie.
Not everything works though. The final act switches horror for a somewhat predictable twist, and while the closing frames make for a powerful set of metaphors, it feels slightly sketchy from a closure standpoint. The performances are good for a film that revolves mostly around two (or three, if you include the beast) characters – Dirisu and Mosaku showcasing credible, lived-in feats.
