In the age of CGI, practical effects are fast becoming a lost cinematic art. On that basis alone, then, we should be grateful Bothersome. Clearly influenced by 80’s scary comedies like gremlin This is Demonsit’s a film that benefits greatly from the practical execution of its perilous perils, a glorious throwback to a time when tiny goblins actually seemed capable of gouging out your eyes.

Director and co-writer Jon Wright has some experience in this area and has drawn on many talented crews who worked on his early horror films. hunters Yup Tormented. But it is careful and economical in its use of very far, the goblin-like sprites we’re all here to see, that don’t actually appear until about an hour after the ride. It is a film that draws its inspiration not only from Celtic folklore, but also from 1970s home invasion films and what it means to be a mother.

This means that it often sounds a bit jarring in terms of tone. There are not-so-subtle comments about Anglo-Irish tensions, nods to films like An American werewolf in London Yup straw dogsand look superb as host of game of ThronesHodor (Kristian Nairn).

Too bad not to see more. Is it time for “Unwelcome 2: The New Batch”?
