But Remi Weekes debut feature His House has proven to be one of the rare gems that managed to breathe fresh life into this done-to-death genre.
Even though His House is Weekes’ first feature film, he has bypassed expectations and presented a cohesive story that terrifies and strikes a chord at the same.
And that’s what gives His House its merit, Weekes’ honest insight into the tragically real human lives, the despair that threatens to cripple them, and the hope that keeps them going.
Weekes fashioned His House in a way that it’s not only genuinely spooky but also a heart-wrenching peek into the life of immigrants with the hope that it “creates a conversation.”
