Halloween Movie Night – Fréwaka

This Halloween, step into a world of ancient superstition, grief, and ghostly presences with Fréwaka—a haunting new Irish folk horror from acclaimed director Aislinn Clarke.

While dealing with the recent death of her estranged mother, Siobhan – who goes by ‘Shoo’ – is offered a new job as a live-in carer for a frail older woman. Despite the objections of her pregnant fiancée Mila, Shoo accepts the offer. She arrives in the rural home to discover a frightened and deeply superstitious woman named Peig. Peig warns that evil spirits lurk nearby and that they’ve already got eyes on Shoo.

Told primarily through the Irish language, Fréwaka is a bold and unsettling film that breathes new life into the folk horror genre—perfect for a chilling Halloween evening in Tuar Ard.
