The Arrival

THE UNWELCOMED is a typical little B-movie of the early 1990s, looking and feeling cheap throughout. I think the undistinguished performances are the biggest detraction here. It starts off engagingly enough with a good fallen meteorite scene, but then we move into a small scale character-focused drama in which an exposed victim finds himself growing younger after developing a taste for blood. It's familiar stuff for sure, not helped by the uninspired performances, aside from a dependable John Saxon in a small role as FBI agent. This is one of those slow-paced films that only really picks up at the exciting climax.
