Directed by : Remi Weekes

Many of us, we end up in places we never thought we would be.. but I think that's life trying to show you what kind of man you are. 


Spoilers ahead.. 

A refugee Sudanese couple, Bol Majur (Sope Dirisu) and Rial Majur (Wunmi Mosaku) who lost their daughter an year ago while crossing the sea, gets a probabational asylum to live in Britain on some very strict conditions that involves them not working and not leaving their house as they adjust into the new community. But they are unaware there's something else that lives in their new house with them. 

Starts on a good note, and for a good amount of time I thought maybe its another racism angle where that haunted house was given so the couple's life becomes dreadful. Was more of a love-hate kind movie, that talks about immigration and guilt leading to demons and finally redemption. The creature based horror doesn't appeal to me, so that was a minus and also I felt the final half was too dramatic.

Horror elements was well filled in though, even the jump scares were well executed. Also, liked how we see Bol trying to adjust and change to new setting, while Rial is rooted to her own culture, leading to conflicts. Some nice dark comedy involving Bol-Rial and the guy, Mark Essworth (Matt Smith) who is caretaker of the house. 

I just never felt satisfied with the revelation of main story, or maybe I was never in the same wavelength to what director wanted to show off here. If you like the twist about the story that leads to the ghosts in the house then you may enjoy the movie, for me that didn't work. 

Still a decent one time watch movie. 

My Rating : 5/10
