"I'll protect you."
Horror so deeply rooted in trauma and grief that it's impossible to forget in a single moment. We know from the first moments precisely what this will be, but it surprises us by taking it a step further. The haunted house concept is a familiar one, and even a film like Insidious has made familiar the haunted-person concept, but His House stands out from the pack in how it frames the haunting. This is a terrifying, dark force, and yet there is a necessity in confronting it. We cannot live with pain sealed up in the walls of our homes -- it needs to come out. It works well overall, but it's in the second half that…

A lot of people will compare this movie to Jordan Peele’s but let me tell you that not every horror movie involving black people is Get Out. Needless to say that this is a completely different beast in its own league. Not so much scary as it is heartbreaking, His House is one of the very few haunted house movies that provides a good reason why its occupants don’t just leave. It’s a reminder that the ghosts of our homeland follow us wherever we go. They would never leave or abandon us, and neither could we get rid of them. Whether or not these supernatural beings are hostile will depend on how you invite them in.

We don’t see much of Bol (Sope Dirisu) and Rial’s (Wunmi Mosaku) harrowing journey from war-torn South Sudan to whatever cold pocket of Britain this pair of asylum-seekers hopes to call their new home, just enough to wonder if the various indignities they’re sure to suffer in the country that once colonized their own could possibly be worse or more inhumane than the process of getting there. After escaping from the militias who butchered their families and surviving the perilous sea crossing that claimed their daughter’s young life, Bol and Rial are understandably blank and undaunted by the callousness of the official who conducts their exit interview at the detention center — he’s cold, but death is colder.
The couple…

See all of this could have been avoided if she had just burned some sage when they moved in.

Forget any Jordan Peele references you might hear attributed to this movie... this is an A24 version of a Lucio Fulci movie (minus the gore) where dream logic and real life nightmare scenario terror creeps under the skin via riveting drama—If you added a Fabio Frizzi score and dubbing my eyes would probably bleed out.
Didn’t think a movie this year would get to me like Possessor did, but I was wrong. Seems that this has flown under the radar for many, but luckily some of my most trusted friends here on letterboxed gave extraordinary reviews for this that I could never top (thanks Tony <3) and peaked my interest big time. I loved this movie... it has plenty to…

There are bad horror movies. There are good horror movies. There are even mediocre horror movies.
There is nothing more important in the genre, however, than a powerful horror movie.
I can't thank Remi Weekes enough for this film. Social commentary can be rather difficult to pull off for debut directors, let alone any directors, and it is done here meticulously and just flat out well. Absooutely beautiful.

“Your ghosts follow you. They never leave. They live with you. It’s when I let them in, I could start to face myself.”
a truly terrifying and incredibly human haunted house tale with a witchy fella that might just give black phillip a run for his money

This Friday, Netflix is set to stream His House. It's a slow-burn drama/horror/thriller. A displaced South Sudanese couple are given a house to stay in when they arrive in England, if they meet insane conditions: no guests, no pets, no balls, etc.
It plays out as a metaphor how grief can destroy our lives. It does get better by the end, but all in all I could clap my hands faintly. It's not very scary and the pace could make a snail seem like a hare. There is some cool imagery, though, and it is a fine watch that might provide food for thought in regard to refugees.

Haunting, disturbing, and surprisingly heartbreaking. His House a horror thriller film about a refugee couple who struggles to adjust to their new life, as they are tormented by their traumatic past. Escaping a place, where the threat of being killed is a common occurrence, is commonly regarded as a good thing, but not at the expense of the death of a loved one, and both protagonists, Bol and Rial, experience the haunting of their deceased daughter in a different but shared manner at their new home. Humans process grief in various ways, as some might try to forget and move on, while others cling to the memories of the past, and the movie managed to show this through the characters…

A unique take on the haunted house genre. Compelling characters and story. I'd recommend this.

What I love most about the horror genre is that it often is at its best when it uses its tropes to explore very real and substantial issues.
Weekes' debut is a film that manages to do exactly that. It explores grief, immigration issues and guilt effectively, while also being a very scary horror film indeed.
It's easy to get stuck on the way Weekes decides to invoke his suspense. He shows that he at points can really do a lot with a little, but he definitely leans on the jump scare a bit too much in certain sequences. Be that as it may, these things are not what make the film. They are merely instruments to make us care…
