In The Unwelcome Movie, Goblins Deliver Murder & Chaos
If you can’t get excited about murderous goblins then I’m not sure we can be friends. An Irish creature feature is coming helmed by Jon Wright (Grabbers, Robot Overlords.) Set to release in cinemas on March 22nd, 2022, the film has been delayed. The Unwelcome movie was released on January 23rd, 2023.
Following the theatrical rollout, the UNWELCOME movie will be shown exclusively with the burgeoning streaming platform for horror lovers, Shudder. Indie film distributor Well-Go USA Entertainment acquired the North American Rights for the bloody small gnome horror movie. These bloodthirsty mythical short people are also known as “far darrig” or “Redcaps.” The UK will release UNWELCOME through Warner Bros. Entertainment. For a review of the full Unwelcome movie, see here.
Don’t Call Out For Help
Two lovers leave the city for the beautiful Irish landscape. Soon they begin hearing stories from the locals about small men who live in their new lush garden. Irish legend related to them by their new neighbors says that Goblins sometimes appear to help those in crisis. Of course, this assistance isn’t free and both are warned the price could be violently high.
Judging by the trailer, family tradition dictates blood offerings are important to keep these tiny vicious men happy. They cannot go unfed… ever. In place of a Snickers, one wonders what this couple will feed the Redcaps to keep them at bay. In any case, the UNWELCOME horror movie trailer looks hectically great and you can watch it for yourself below.
