Jump scares rarely work, but Remi Weekes' 'His House' does more than make you jump. It crawls under your skin with stellar lead performances, while terror evolves from its haunted house premise to cutting deeper into the psyche of two struggling refugees.
Not the classic ghost story cliché. The movie is structured very well and the backstory makes it outstanding.
Amazing movie. So original and the right amount of humour added.
Well I found it really boring and acting wasn't professional for me. Not sure why it has 72 Metascore but it wasn't my cup of tea.
I love the genre of horror and seen a lot so I'm really surprised about this rare gem! Excellent actors, beautifully filmed, and on top of all that also a great storyline with a depth of something completely new and different.
A thoughtful and poignant character study that explores the immigrant crisis and poverty through horror and mystery.Been a fan of Sope Dirisu since watching Gangs of London.
There are quite a few clever and eerie shocks here, and the setting, a run down estate somewhere in the UK is a nice change from the creepy old house scenario, at first seeming an unlikely location for a 'haunted house' drama, but it is used very effectively. The story, about a refugee couple, touchingly played, who having escaped massacres and civil war in an (unnamed) African region, who are allocated a house to live in in a down at heel estate.
I waited for this movie since I saw the trailer month ago, it seems promising and interesting because I like the hunted house plot lines and His House barely satisfy the expectations. The story was simple, straightforward and seems a commentary on social issues like immigration.
Three words to describe this film: beautiful, terrifying, and heartbreaking. It had my spine tingling and my heart aching and I genuinely loved the film.
