Reviews
91
For all of its clumsiness and rookie missteps (which continue through the film’s gut-punch of a coda), His House is an urgent and spine-tingling ghost story about what it means to begin anew in a home that may not want you to live in it.
80
One of the best British horror debuts in years, populated by well-drawn characters and a particularly nasty spirit. If you get a chance to move into His House, take it.
80
Genuine jump scares are bolstered by the film’s spooky sound design, as well as terrific performances from Dirisu and Mosaku, whose terror is palpable.

IGN
Tightly wound on almost every front, His House packs an enormous emotional punch even once its scares grow stale.
75
Throughout, Remi Weekes forcefully, resonantly ties the film’s terror to the inner turmoil of his characters.
