Another Irish creature feature from the filmmaker behind Grabbers, Unwelcome is a more subdued (and polished) take on the genre. agracru's review:
fits snugly in this company, being the story of parents-to-be Jamie and Maya , recently decamped from London after a home invasion leaves the couple traumatized and in desperate need for, as Jamie puts it, “peace.” His late great-aunt left him her farmhouse in her will, and he decides to move Maya there so they can raise their imminent newborn in safety’s bosom.
The thing about Ireland is, there are magical and supernatural and plain old bizarre entities lying in wait no matter where you go. Maeve, for instance, was known to put out a piece of raw liver by her garden gate every night, an offering for the far darrig–the little people known as Red Caps, snickering goblins all too happy to go straight from “mischievous” to “murderous” should circumstances permit.
Of course, then there would be no movie, which means there would be no ferocious lead performance from John-Kamen. She is an anchoring force in a sea of male insecurity; the film doesn’t look down on Jamie for his stubborn attempts at macho bravado, but it does make clear the exhausting effect his performativity has on Maya.
