“Unforgettable Horror Masterpiece: Critics Stunned by Finale”

Ever wonder what makes a horror movie truly spine-chilling enough to score a perfect 100% on Rotten Tomatoes? Well, buckle up ’cause Netflix has got a jolt in “His House” that’s more shocking than finding out they’ve canceled your favorite show (again!). This film isn’t just a creeper—it’s a masterclass in horror and storytelling.

Directed by the newcomer Remi Weekes, this film stars Wunmi Mosaku, Sope Dirisu, and the ever-versatile Matt Smith. Set your VCR… er, I mean, set your Netflix watch time for January 2020, when this gem was released. It follows a refugee couple from South Sudan, trying to carve out a new life in the UK, only to find that their new abode seems…unsettled, haunted, as if the house itself has a bone to pick with its new inhabitants.

What’s the deal with the house anyway? Well, beneath the facade of an ordinary life, there’s an ‘evil lurking’—a phrase that sends shivers down the spine faster than finding out your ex just got engaged. And who would’ve thought that such a high rating could be achieved by a film not front-page news on entertainment mags but with a truly devastating plot twist that reviewers couldn’t stop raving about?

With 125 critics singing its praises, it’s not just a critical darling; regular fans are raving about it too. One X (formerly Twitter) fan dubbed it a “jaw dropping directorial debut,” while a Reddit user was left utterly “blown away” by its blend of social commentary and horror that digs deep into human trauma.

“His House” isn’t your run-of-the-mill gore fest or a campy laugh. It’s thoughtful, terrifying, and uniquely crafted. If you’re up for a lesser-known horror film that’s as welcome in the Netflix library as a plate of freshly baked cookies, then go for “His House”. You might even want to watch it again tonight—just to make sure you didn’t miss any of those lurking shadows… LEARN MORE

Netflix fans have been left shocked after watching a horror film which has a perfect 100 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

It is one of only two movies on the streamer to have such an illustrious honour, joined by Bong Joon Ho’s Best Picture winner Parasite.

To get such a high rating for a horror film, and a lesser-known one at that, is a shock.

This is likely due in part to the Netflix film’s ‘devastating plot twist’ which received particular praise from viewers.

Made by first-time director Remi Weekes, the flick stars Wunmi Mosaku, Sope Dirisu, and Matt Smith.

Released in January 2020, His House focuses on a refugee couple who travel to the UK from South Sudan.

Amid troubles to adjust to their new life, the pair discover an ‘evil lurking below the surface’.

The movie’s perfect 100 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes doesn’t just come from a mere 10-15 reviews either, as His House has 125 reviews on the platform.

Indie Wire’s review of the film said: “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.”

Nick Allen, of RogerEbert.com, had similarly effusive praise of the film, saying: “In Weekes’ vision, which recalls early George Romero and Wes Craven, there are numerous terrors for us to be haunted by, and are all part of a tale that is as thoughtfully executed as it is terrifying.”

This is not a film loved by critics alone that the average person wouldn’t care for either, with the internet full of regular film fans singing His House’s praises.

Writing on X, one fan said: “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.”

A Reddit post about the film also said: “I’m absolutely blown away. To me, this is everything the horror genre has the potential to be – social commentary, a look into the minds and experiences of other human beings, being forced to cope with their terror of persecution, violence, survivor’s guilt, and how they deal with their own weaknesses and strengths.

“I loved the horror-genre centerpiece of the story, a uniquely African take on a haunted-house story, and how it played into the deep roots of the family’s underlying trauma.

“It’s not pointless gore, torture porn, fetishistic, campy, funny, or an ‘atmospheric period piece.’

“I’m honestly stunned, and I think I’ll watch it through again tonight.”

One post by ‘Black Horror Films’ pointed specifically to the film’s plot twist, saying His House had ‘a particularly devastating plot twist’.

If it wasn’t clear from all of the above, if you needed a new lesser-known horror film to watch – head to Netflix and give His House a go.

His House is available to watch on Netflix now.
