[Review]: Frรฉwaka Following up 2018โ€™s found footage chiller The Devilโ€™s Doorway, filmmaker Aislinn Clarke has once again returned to her horror roots with Frรฉwaka, a haunting folk tale whose dialogue is primarily in the Irish language, Gaeilge. Frรฉwaka follows primary care worker Shoo (played by Clare Monnelly) as she attempts to look after her elderly patient Peig (played by Brรญd Nรญ Neachtain) who seems to suffer from paranoia and delusions involving the Sรญdhe (fairy folk).ย After her motherโ€™s horrifying and sad

Released tomorrow is Irish language folk horror Frรฉwaka, Aislinn Clarke's "chilling reminder of exactly why Ireland remains haunted by both its past and present."
