10 Best Netflix Original Movies Of 2020 - Ranked

3. His House

It's a shame that more people aren't talking about His House, and it's actually quite remarkable that it's managed to slip under the radar for most people. Why? Well, it's a brilliant little horror movie that was released at the perfect time of year - Halloween - and what's more, it has that oh-so-rare 100% critic rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

It's surprising that it didn't make more of a splash, but on the plus side, it'll be on Netflix until the universe explodes, so there's plenty of time left to go and check it out.

The movie follows a couple who end up in England after escaping the violence and destruction in their South Sudan home. Soon after, they're assigned to a messy, run-down house in a poor area of London, and while it seems like a normal enough place when they first arrive, it soon becomes apparent that an evil, ghostly presence is lurking within the walls - quite literally - of their new home.

His House feels a little bit like a Jordan Peele social thriller, which is high praise, but it more than earns it. It explores the refugee experience through a horror movie lens, and while it does lean a little too much into supernatural territory at times, it's an unsettling film overall, one that's packed with some memorable and creative scares.
