I watched Remi Weekes debut film His House on the weekend. It was a refugee experience retold as a horror story and I really enjoyed it. The backstory slowly unravels in the form of terrifying nightmares and flashes in the unsettling house and almost every scene and plot point had some metaphorical value that linked to the character's experiences. I enjoyed how it explored both having the eerie, fictional feel, and showing to an audience the reality of asylum seekers, both in Britain and their native country- what they have to go through to be where they are. The characters were well throught out and explored deeply, the antagonist was genuinely scary and evil, and the cinematic experience felt so pleasant to sit and watch. I really enjoyed this film.
