Director Remi Weekes challenges a common horror trope using real-world commentary.

| Jan 18, 2025

I cannot wait to see what director Remi Weekes does next. His House blew me away with how it successfully reinvents the haunted house story to explore the horrors of being an immigrant in a xenophobic world.

His House transcends the meaning of true horror. Weekes’ ability to infuse terror realistically and with clairvoyance is a true delight.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Jul 14, 2024

I very much enjoyed this...it's not exactly a horror film the way it was advertised but it was well paced and executed. It's definitely a conversation starter with it's themes on pain and grief.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 15, 2023

Very solid performances and incredible cinematography in a film that is terrifying but on a deep, emotional level.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 15, 2023

It’s a thematically bold genre film that takes an unexpectedly sharp look at the immigrant experience while delving into themes of grief, denial, racism, and survivor’s guilt among other things.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Aug 21, 2022

An interesting exploration on immigration through contemporary horror. [Full review in Spanish]

There’s no doubt that director Remi Weekes has a talent for effectively building unnerving tension, and the suspense is naturally crafted through the general atmosphere and tone.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Jun 5, 2022

A very interesting and original reworking of this subgenre. [Full review in Spanish]

Educational, profoundly scary and an experience that delights in taking unexpected routes, this film is one of those debut features that makes you want to keep track of everything a director does from here on out.

It's a film that shows the horror of being a refugee, with the guilt of the past and the fear of losing oneself when we are forced to assimilate into a new world and culture.

Well-written, superbly directed and acted, and most of all, pretty damn scary.

| Original Score: 4 / 5 | Jun 26, 2021

A multi-layered British-set haunted house film that skillfully weaves socio-political commentary, an engrossing character study, and unnerving visual frights ...

A sterling example of the power that diverse voices in front of and behind the camera hold in expanding the [horror] genre's horizons.

| Jun 5, 2021

First-time director Remi Weekes serves up plenty jump scares, but his real-world terrors are much more frightening.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 23, 2021

Both visually and narratively imaginative, the film's most impressive attribute is the fact that, despite the ghoulish happenings, it never loses sight of the stories that inspired it.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 24, 2021

His House artistically commemorates the tens of thousands of people who have gone to watery graves escaping unbearable conditions in Africa, the Middle East and elsewhere.

| Mar 20, 2021

His House is an extraordinary haunted-house film, and also an excellent horror film in the genre, "Is she crazy?"

| Mar 12, 2021

His House uses the supernatural to examine guilt, trauma, masculinity, and how outsiders assimilate into new cultures.

| Mar 6, 2021

While a little too on the nose with its metaphors along with a dreadful procurement that would have used a little more scope, the film serves as a strangely accurate portrayal of going through the refugee experience.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 26, 2021
