Unwelcome is heading to cinemas next year and follows a couple who escape their urban life for a more peaceful one in rural Ireland, but things really don't go according to plan!
The movie is directed by Jon Wright and is based on an original screenplay by Mark Stay, with a great Irish cast attached to the project including Derry Girls legend Jamie-Lee O'Donnell.
In an interview with Empire, Jon Wright said: "A lot of this film is about a very urban, liberal, progressive couple getting back in touch with their primal, animal selves — this bestial side again.
"The woods at the bottom of the garden, that’s where Mother Nature lives, metaphorically. It’s like they’re going back to their ancestors in a way. And they’re certainly going back in time in a sense, going back to a place that’s much less built up and much wilder than where they start the film.”
