It's not often that a film with a perfect Rotten Tomatoes score comes with a 'warning', but you'll kind of see why after watching the trailer.

Despite being three-years-old, the Netflix movie has received widespread acclaim from critics - and the unique plot certainly plays a part.

"After making a harrowing escape from war-torn South Sudan, a young refugee couple struggle to adjust to their new life in a small English town that has an unspeakable evil lurking beneath the surface," reads the film synopsis.

The Remi Weekes-led film premiered on 27 January 2020 at the Sundance Film Festival, picking up a number of awards in the process.

Titled His House, the horror film stars Doctor Who’s Matt Smith, Loki’s Wunmi Mosaku and Gangs of London's Sope Dirisu.

Horror movies often fall short due to over-exaggerated scenes and a lack of emotion, but His House doesn't fall into this trap.

"Excellent. An intelligent horror thriller with a social drama behind and a superb finale. Food for thought!" one viewer said.

"Just finished watching it. Cried twice. That has never happened with a horror movie before. Tightly written, beautifully acted, nothing too over the top. If you're looking for horror with depth, this is the one," another added.

Whilst a third wrote: "This was a freaking incredible movie. It was a horror movie true enough, but it was elevated beyond that. It's a great drama with twists and have you rooting for one way then the other than the other.

"I truly felt for both of them in different ways because both had their own separate struggles and pasts they had to tackle.

"The creep factor was high and the effects were great."

Although His House has a 100 percent Rotten Tomatoes score, the audience score is only at 73 percent, as some viewers are called it 'deeply disturbing', in a good way.

"Soo00oososososo good dude like truly deeply disturbing in a way so many modern horror films are not," one fan wrote.

"Just watched this. Definitely one of the scariest I’ve seen in 2020, but at the same time very interesting. It rattles every emotion, with sadness, terror, hopelessness, and happiness," someone else said.

"This movie delivered a story, scare, and a really good ending. I would most definitely recommend watching it if you have Netflix."

Another viewer called the film 'disturbing, beautiful and captivating' all at the same time.

His House is available to watch on Netflix now.
