Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhile researching his screenplay, Remi Weekes was struck by how many immigrants were sold on coming to the United Kingdom because it's the land of Charles Dickens, Jane Austen and the royal family. In reality, for immigrants, it's grey concrete housing estates in deprived areas, something that he wanted to visually bring to his film.
- GoofsAt around 29 minutes when Rial is getting her blood drawn, the woman drawing her blood fills a purple top tube while the yellow top is clearly shown to be empty. When drawing blood, however, the purple top (EDTA) tube is always drawn last after all other tubes to avoid cross contamination of tube additives.

Featured review
Wow, incredible performances!
Hail to director Remi Weekes for a very different approach to horror!
I fell in love with the main characters from the very beginning, and sympathized with them. The performances by Sope Dirisu and Wunmi Mosaku are incredible, especially Wunmi, who - in my opinion - delivered an Oscar winning performance. She was stunning!
I found 'His House' so captivating that I was glued to the screen. The director effectively created suspense with background imagery and shadows - without the use of blaring scare music. This made it more realistic, and a hell of a lot scarier. Some scenes were truly creepy! The use of close-up photography and wide and long shots were also highly effective. 'His House' might come across as another haunted house film, but this was very different, with bucket loads of emotion - enhanced by Wunmi's fabulous performance!
Eventually, the film offered more than I expected. It was a heart wrenching depiction of a couple who lost a child - but not entirely in the sense you'd expect. It was disturbing on so many levels.
'His House' might not be everyone's cup of tea, but it is brilliant film making. The film received 37 award nominations, winning 8 - including Outstanding Debut by a British Writer Director or Producer, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Production Design, Best Effects, Best Film.
Would I watch it again? Probably, yes.
