	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Tim Grierson Screendaily	"This ghost story is sufficiently frightening, but it’s more accurate to say that His House leaves the viewer unnerved — because of the living, not the dead."	POS
United States	Leslie Felperin The Hollywood Reporter	"A terrifyingly effective evocation of horrors real and imagined (...) the movie is also a very effective generator of jump scares and nightmarish imagery"	POS
United States	Rafael Motamayor The Playlist	"Weekes brilliant debut (...) chillingly observes the effects of dehumanization and disregard, while subverting expectations at every turn."	POS
United Kingdom	Benjamin Lee The Guardian	"Remi Weekes has constructed a horror film that takes the overstuffed and overfamiliar haunted house subgenre and briefly revitalises it (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Jessica Kiang Variety	"A potent if unbalanced mashup of social-issues polemic and haunted-house horror (...) Beautifully played by Dirisu and Mosaku"	NEU
United States	Nick Allen rogerebert.com	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.	POS
United States	Matt Cipolla The Film Stage	"A debut as beautiful as it is chilling"	POS
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"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."	POS
United States	Johnny Oleksinski New York Post	"For his debut, director/writer Remi Weekes took on the tough task of turning a very real crisis into a supremely entertaining horror film (...) These strong actors force us viewers to flip-flop constantly (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
