Unwelcome (2022)
1/10
Far Darrig et al
13 July 2023
Warning: Spoilers
First, let's get the Irish legend stuff out of the way. The idea of making a movie about the Far Darrig or Fir Dearg (Fear Dearg), meaning the Red Men and often conflated with a form of the "little people" who wear red caps--caps dyed in human blood--was a great idea. But that's where everything came to a screeching halt. This movie, if we can even call this travesty that, is one of the worst I have ever seen, and I've seen loads of really bad movies. I'll say it this way: this garbage makes any one of Ed Wood's films a masterpiece, including 'Plan 9 From Outer Space.' And I have a question: Did Colm Meany just need the money? This ridiculous attempt at telling a story is wrong on so many levels that I really don't know where to begin, so I'll just randomly jump in and warn you against the spineless husband who picks a fight with three London toughs and then can't defend his wife from them as they break-and-enter and then repeatedly kick her and her unborn baby while beating him nearly senseless. So they pick up and move to the Irish countryside where the Meany character and his three grown children bully them as bad or worse than the Chavs from the Big Smoke. The movie just gets worse from there. Don't bother.
