Prepare to welcome vicious Irish little people who aren’t leprechauns.

Well Go USA releases UNWELCOME to select theaters March 10, followed by digital release March 14. Directed by Jon Wright (GRABBERS) from a screenplay by Mark Stay, it stars Hannah John-Kamen (ANT-MAN AND THE WASP), Douglas Booth, Colm Meaney, Jamie-Lee O’Donnell, Kristian Nairn and Chris Walley. The synopsis: “A couple escapes their urban nightmare to the tranquility of rural Ireland only to hear stories of mysterious beings who live in the gnarled, ancient wood at the foot of their new garden. As warned by their new neighbors, in Irish lore the Redcaps will come when called to help souls in dire need of rescue, but it’s crucial to remember that there is always a dear price to pay for their aid.”
