HIS HOUSE (Netflix; Horror)

[Persona]

Best horror movie since I'm not even sure.

Effective not just in its depiction of genre horror but societal horror and seamlessly communicates those two things in a dark, disturbing harmony rather than trying to graft one on the other.

Exceptional lead performances, cinematography, editing.

Boss level debut from Remi Weekes, who has immediately become a director I will follow closely from here on.

 

[Persona]

But don't take my word for it, listen to my man Flanagan!

Anyone check this out yet? It's done quite well critically but still seems to be flying under the radar for a lot of folks.

His House and The Dark and the Wicked are two of my favorite horror films to come out this year, even though I know not a whole lot has actually come out this in the first place.

I loved this film though and while I found the scares/creepiness of The Dark and the Wicked to better more effective overall one area it was really lacking in for me was the characters which is something I didn't have a problem with in this film.

Such hypnotic and engaging performances from the two leads and I definitely felt sympathetic towards them for the crappy situation they were stuck in while facing real life horrors and supernatural ones at the same time.

 

[The Shape]

This was solid and very well-made. Really enjoyed it.

 

[Luigi]

Damn, now I'm tempted to renew my Netflix account.

 

[Persona]

Happy to see this as #1 on several 2020 Horror lists, including Paste's and Scott Wampler's. Very deserved.
