Unwelcome

Fantasy horror is easily hit or miss. This dark fairytale genre works with this if you take it as it is and don't expect more.

Things I really appreciated is just how well the film was shot, the practical effects and the beautiful scenery. It has all the gloss of a well produced film and the acting wasn't bad. The creature designs were interesting, thought out and very practical so the realistic aspect was nice. The scenery shots were beautiful and since it's so well produced, it was captivating. The story wasn't bad as it held my attention, but would have benefited from more discussion about the creatures and their lore.

I found it surprisingly good and I don't have a problem recommending this creature feature for horror fans that like creature, mythological, folklore or fantasy horror. It isn't perfect, but it is worth a watch if you don't take it too seriously.

Not a bad film , not an amazing film but somewhere in the middle .

Unusual lighting and set , felt like it was filmed on a film set / stage rather than in the beauty of the Emerald Isle apart from a few long shots of the UK registered Fiat 500 and a few port shots.

As a horror there were a few jumps at the end of the film the audience began to laugh but not during it which might mean that any comedy was more accidental rather than incidental although some of it seemed quite farcical but not in a good way it certainly was no Shaun of the dead Zomcom

At times it had a feeling of folk horror like The Wicker Man where strangers are treated as strangers and locals are sinister but where it could have developed that plot it veered off into its own multi genre horror

For horror it missed its prime release date of October and will probably only have a very short run so if you want an average horror with at times some reasonable viewing entertainment pop along

Best actor for me goes to The Dog ! Scariest character played by Jamie Lee O'Donnell and a well done to the live animation & cgi team for the little people

Average

Pad. A 5.5/10.

This one is a Strange film. The start of the movie sets the story well and seems pretty normal but it doesn't stay normal. The longer you watch the more you wonder if you have switch to another movie mid way and then you get pulled back in. You love the characters and then hate them and them become unsure. Who is the bad people and who is the good people.

I was unsure about this movie but i came away confused. I am still not sure what i watched. It seemed to have 3 endings but then kept going. What can i say..... I really don't know that to say.

Watch and and see for yourself. I really can't recommend you to watch or miss this. I'm unsure myself.

This review will confuse you as much as this movie. My head hurts!

This isn't a film with wide appeal, but it's worth a watch by those who love the horror genre as a whole. The plot is simplistic, wacky, a bit trashy, often forced, sometimes non-existent but entertaining. It doesn't take itself seriously at all. Even in its darkest moments, it's surreal and nonsensical.

This isn't a film for new horror fans who have come to the genre on the back of social commentary works like Get Out. Nor is it a film for those who prefer the current trend of slow-burn, artistic films like Hereditary and Midsommar.

If you enjoy films like Grabbers and Doghouse, you should be able to appreciate the fast-paced nonsense that is Unwelcome.

Strange film, it can't quite make up its mind if it is a home invasion movie or a horror movie or a fantasy creature feature comedy.

When it is horror it is quite good in a gruesome kind of way, when it is a home invasion it is either brutally violent of weirdly bloody funny.

Ridiculous characters, and awfully played? But I guess that was also supposed to be a funny element.

I didn't know what it was beforehand and actually forgot the title, I put Unwanted as the title in my calendar, a Freudian slip maybe?.

It passed the 6 laugh rule to qualify as a comedy at least, even though that was all in the second half.
