"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."
Empire Magazine"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."
IndieWire"A potent, heart-wrenching spin on the classic haunted house story, buoyed by two stellar lead performances."
A.V. Club"Throughout, Remi Weekes forcefully, resonantly ties the film’s terror to the inner turmoil of his characters."
Slant Magazine"A potent if unbalanced mashup of social-issues polemic and haunted-house horror."
Variety"The kind of confident debut that from start-to-finish feels like beholding a major new vision in horror. "His House" shows Weekes' already wide range in creating the unsettling to making scenes that will make audiences scream, all while getting people to empathize with a refugee couple’s story by way of a haunted apartment."
