His House Review


Listen Later

His House is the first film to use the sense of otherness and uprooting of its characters to fuel its story. Compared to the average Hollywood horror of today, one of the strengths of HIS HOUSE is that it refuses to burden its poignant story with the supernatural explained. His house is not the typical horror film, but he explores thoughtfully what a house can be and how it and its people can haunt you. The greatest haunted house films acknowledge the psychology that underlies every situation.


In this day and age, it's a relief to see a horror film in which the filmmaker thinks so much about what will scare the viewer as it means. An accomplished viewer will be attracted to the film's complex, measured approach to its characters and its history. When a film is literally about a haunted house, it has more to do with the human psyche. This film could easily become a horror classic simply because of its effective fear and atmosphere.


At its core, his house is a ghost house story, but you can't accuse Weeks of forgetting to scare you. It is a horror that manifests itself through the repressed guilt of its characters, not through any particular means of action or a particular distortion of the action. His house does not depend on telling the story of the house, its occupants or even the found footage from the film.


The story explains why people move out of the house when things take a turn for the dangerously creepy, but the film cannot make you wait or in any way stop you from showing the face of its central evil early and often up close. Every film about a haunted house has its share of ghost movies, and the ghosts in this film don't just appear once or twice.

His house, the tension is there as soon as the film begins, and things quickly get scary. In my experience, most horror films build suspense as they go on and build it up, but in his house, the movie hero "Get Out" announces his title when he moves in. The desire in this film makes you feel in the name of your hero, and his desire to get out feels like a desire for survival, not just for his own safety.


His house, a mixture of real and imaginary horror, turns it into a terse, frightening clock that also acts as a moving commentary on the refugee experience. The most devastating moment of his house, there is even an appropriately sombre accompanying music, which subtly comforts you with the memory of seeing a film. It is perfectly suited to depict the daily life of a refugee amid the horrors of war and terror and the horrors of human nature.


The film is also unique in its setting, as it is a haunted house on a country estate, begged by a ghostly woman and her husband Rial Bol and their attempt to escape so that they can live together at the same time.
