Review : His House (2020)
Tumblr media
From George Romero to Jordan Peele, horror has not only shocked viewers, but at times, has opened their eyes to bigger issues of racism, oppression, misogynistic behavior and homophobia.  With 2020 not only being a watershed year for independent film (where horror thrives) but for social awareness as well, it would’ve been a shame if the horror genre didn’t take advantage of the moment to tell a terrifying story with equally terrifying symbolic implications.  Luckily for us, Netflix gave us a Halloween gift in the form of His House. 
Rial (Wunmi Mosaku) and Bol (Sope Dirisu) are freshly relocated to London after losing their daughter Nyagak (Malaika Abigaba) while trying to free their former war-torn home in the South Sudan.  While mourning the loss, the couple spends 3 months in holding before they are assigned a home on the outskirts of London.  While grateful, the couple cannot help but notice the rundown, bleak state of the home, but they make an attempt to settle in regardless.  These efforts are met with opposition in the spiritual form, sending the couple spiraling in two directions : Rial believes that a witch has followed them to their new home, while Bol is driven to the edge of madness due to his fear and obsession.  With little hope for the future, and zero thoughts of returning home, the couple locks down to face an unknown threat, and in turn, face their uncertain future.
His House handles the vast complexity of its subject matter, subtext and symbolism boldly, turning the familiarity of films like The Amityville Horror into richer, more nuanced experiences.  For many immigrants, asylum seekers and refugees, the opportunity to start anew is often treated like a gift and with the respect it deserves, but this does not erase the pain that comes with leaving everything you know behind.  Remi Weekes takes this concept and turns it into a form of psychological horror and terror that, combined with the loss Rial and Bol experienced with their daughter Nyagak’s death, pits the two against one another as they both fight for their sanity.  The ancestral ghosts and the belief that a witch has followed them to their new home work in tandem with poverty and squalor the couple is placed into, creating a “lesser of two evils” philosophical debate that, in itself, would be a horror to deal with.  
Thoughtfully, the existence of real world racism is kept in the story, and based on their London setting, is doled out by both Black and White Londoners.  This inclusion keeps the movie grounded in a harsh reality while also helping further enrich our connection to Rial and Bol.  The love between Rial and Bol is clearly strong in its presentation, but it is put to the ultimate test as they, along with the viewer, escape one set of fantastic horrors only to be thrown directly into a living memory of their real world horrors.  The feeling of no resolution created by the absence of escape options induces a very palatable stress in the viewer, who much like our protagonists, are given little reprieve from the horrors packed into the 90 minute run time of His House.  Even with the exploitative nature of horror films, it felt like all of the African-based aspects were given the utmost respect and not used for exploitation.
The dreary, lived-in look of the film not only symbolizes London as a location, but it firmly establishes the lack of optimism presented to Rial and Bol, which flies firmly in their efforts to move forward from their tragic past.  Rather than opting for cheap shock, the film uses practical effects and well-paced swings between silence and a haunting score to build its terror.  The story it tells is definitely a sad one, so it makes sense that the weight of parallel symbolic and reality-based narratives running in harmony hits hard with its resonance.  The production design on the house creates an immediate unsettling feeling, as if the only words in its visual language are ones of despair.  The film’s resolution teeters on the edge of corniness, but manages to handle itself without going too far out of control.
Wunmi Mosaku carries a dignity with her that is built out of the wake of trauma, as if she is capable of overcoming any horror that is placed in front of her.  Sope Dirisu uses a sort of targeted desperation, as if only one outcome is acceptable, and any other option is not only unquestionable, but overly costly.  Matt Smith plays the authority figure with the right balance of business-based respect and cautious optimism, making his threats to lay the law down feel as real as his ability to help bring a sense of peace to the proceedings.  Emily Taaffe plays well in a key scene with Mosaku, while Malaika Abigaba, Javier Botet and Cornell John use haunting physicality in non-speaking roles.
Horror can be entertaining on its own, but when used to shed light on equally horrific but more grounded in reality topics, it can be a powerful tool for awakening.  Due to streaming taking precedence in the industry, horror definitely had its moment in the sun in 2020, but His House is one of the few horror films that is a cut above the rest.

His House - Remi Weekes (2020)
Two refugees from South Sudan struggle to adjust to their new life in an English town that has an evil lurking not too far beneath the surface.
The film start strongly, giving much food for thought in its topical themes and, no doubt, realities. Delivering a slow-burn of building horror, tension and conflict which it then can't resolve without treading a more well worn path than it had until it's denouement. 
Still, a strong horror which dares to tackle real social issues rather than just going for cheap tacky scares.
7.5/10
