His House follows the story of Bol and Rial, a young refugee couple who flee their homeland of South Sudan due to the ongoing civil war. After a perilous journey across the Mediterranean, they arrive in England, where they are granted asylum and placed in a small town.
The couple is allocated a run-down house by the government, which they are required to fix up using the limited funds provided to them. As they struggle to adjust to their new home and culture, they begin to experience strange and terrifying phenomena.
The film depicts the couple's struggles to adapt to their new life, including language barriers, cultural shock, and the trauma of losing loved ones in their homeland. They also grapple with the conflicting expectations placed on them as refugees in their new country.
As Bol and Rial attempt to navigate their new surroundings, they discover that their new home has an evil presence lurking underneath the surface. The couple's haunted house represents the horrors they have endured in their past lives, and as the supernatural events increase, they must confront their demons head-on.
The film is a thought-provoking commentary on the refugee experience, trauma, and grief. It also artfully uses the horror genre to explore the immigrant experience in a fresh and compelling way. His House received critical acclaim upon its release, with particular praise being given to the performances of its two lead actors and the film's nuanced approach to its themes.
