This movie is just a mad and fun ride!
The two leads have great chemistry together and what they go through at the beginning of the story is build upon quite nicely. The first villains they face are actually quite menacing and believable which unfortunately can't be said for the other human villains later on. Some of the characters are a bit too over the top and one dimensional but do serve for some good entertainment. The movie is well shot and its just a joy so see this many practical effects nowadays.
The movie is in a bit of a weird middle ground and while quite a lot of scenes are really well executed and just work, the movie does lose a bit of steam sometimes due to an inconsistent character arc. It leads simultaneously to some genuine laughs but also to a bit of a let down for that character.
Overall Unwelcome is just a very enjoyable horror comedy and if you just want to have a good laugh, you will not be disappointed.
I for one will be looking forward to future projects by this director because if he can manage to find a slightly better balance when it comes to humor and believable villains, we're in for some really solid horror films!
