Netflix didn’t go all out for the Halloween weekend as it has in times past, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t any frights and scares for fans to experience. On Twitter, fans are raving about the horror-thriller His House and say that this would be a fitting film for a scary movie night.
His House is the directorial debut from Remi Weekes and stars Wunmi Mosaku of HBO’s Lovecraft Country fame, and Sope Dirisu who starred in AMC’s Gangs of London. Matt Smith, who starred in Doctor Who and Netflix’s The Crown, also enjoys top billing.
The movie follows the journey of Bol (Dirisu) and Rial (Mosaku), refugees from war-torn South Sudan fleeing their home with their daughter. After a tragic journey replete with personal loss, the couple arrives on the shores of Britain and are assigned to a rundown home outside of London, and then the scares begin.
His House is enjoying a large amount of praise on Twitter from fans who say the film is just as intellectually stirring as it is frightening. We’ve got those reactions listed out below.
Check out the trailer for Netflix’s His House below.

If I use this 🚩, it means I desperately need you to trust me.
Remi Weekes’ His House (2020) is one of the most jaw dropping directorial debuts I have ever seen.
If you’ve wanted prestige, black horror.
It’s here.
and it’s on Netflix.

just watched and loved Remi Weekes's debut feature His House on netflix. genuinely unsettling, affecting horror film about Sudanese refugees trying to settle into their London home. between this and Lovecraft Country, Wunmi Mosaku has quickly become one of my favorite actors. pic.twitter.com/FzG2Rx13o4

His House on Netflix is hands down one of the best films of 2020. Horror, family, and the powerful roots of culture - it's a refreshing and much welcome film to the plethora of unseasoned films. I can't say it enough - the plot is ORIGINAL AND FULL OF DEPTH!!!! #hishouse pic.twitter.com/EIoc4IXISs

Absolutely loved HIS HOUSE on Netflix. Horror/genre has the ability to explore trauma in a way that feels real, that resonates, that transcends conventions to being something cleansing. I want more.

HIS HOUSE is fucking terrifying and, for my money, maybe the best new scary film you can watch this 🎃 weekend. What an electric and intelligent debut, excited to follow Remi Weekes anywhere he goes next. On Netflix now! pic.twitter.com/jVtVBEffIp
