His House
Where can I watch His House?
(Watch on Netflix) This 2020 release from director Remi Weekes follows a married couple (Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù and Loki and Lovecraft Country’s Wunmi Mosaku) who flee the horrors of war-torn South Sudan, hoping for a better life in London. The racism and xenophobia they experience in their new city is sadly unexpected; far more surprising is the fact that the run-down apartment they’re repeatedly told they’re lucky to call home is haunted. Outstanding performances and a timely plot help lift His House above the usual haunted-house fare, and while the scenes with the ghouls are frightening, the movie’s flashbacks to the characters’ lives before London are just as unsettling.
