His House is a deceptive movie, for to label it a haunted house film is to merely scratch the surface of this terrific film. Sope Dirisu and Wunmi Mosaku are both utterly superb as the Sudanese refugee couple relocated to their own house on a dire English estate, but the ensuing haunting events that cause the couple to unravel pose many questions, especially as to whether they are from within or external forces at work. The screenplay and direction both show exceptional control by Remi Weekes, and this eerie, distinctive and unsettling movie has real depth and emotional impact in its unflinching exploration of dislocation, alienation, grief, parenthood and culture whilst still delivering in terms of the horror aspects..
