Fleeing the chaos of city violence for a promised life of rural peace, Maya (Hannah John-Kamen) and Jamie (Douglas Booth) think they’ve found their sanctuary in a quaint inherited cottage tucked deep in the Irish countryside. But peace, it turns out, is a fragile illusion—especially when ancient traditions whisper through the trees.
As they settle in, an eerie local legend resurfaces: the Redcaps—mythical goblin-like creatures said to protect the forest, but only if honored with ritualistic offerings. When Maya, newly pregnant and emotionally frayed, refuses to take the lore seriously, something begins to stir in the woods—watching, waiting, and growing bolder with each passing night.
What begins as a slow unease escalates into visceral terror as Maya is forced to confront not only the brutal truths behind the legend, but the rage that grows inside her—a primal fury no longer willing to be silenced. As myth and motherhood collide, Unwelcome becomes a blood-soaked fable about protection, vengeance, and reclaiming power.
With atmospheric dread, folk horror undertones, and a raw performance from John-Kamen, Unwelcome is not just a creature feature—it’s a scream against domestic silence, and a reckoning with the monsters both real and imagined.
Can you truly escape the past when the land remembers? Or will the Redcaps claim what is owed in blood?
