Haunted by a personal tragedy, home care worker, Shoo, is sent to a remote village to care for an agoraphobic woman who fears the neighbors as much as she fears the Na Sídhe -- sinister entities who she believes abducted her decades before. As the two develop a strangely deep connection, Shoo is consumed by the old woman's paranoia, rituals, and superstitions, eventually confronting the horrors from her own past.

Zachary Lee Chicago Reader Much of the horror derives from the disquieting mood Clarke can create by simply letting the camera be still; by its end, Fréwaka made me afraid of the shadows in my own room. Nov 2, 2024 Full Review Guy Lodge Variety An expertly conducted atmospheric exercise, with a sharp, harsh understanding of closed rural communities free from any touristic Emerald Isle blarney. Aug 13, 2024 Full Review William Stottor Loud and Clear Reviews Aislinn Clarke combines folklore and modern horror to creepy effect in Fréwaka, her chilling depiction of two women facing trauma that is more shared than they realise. Rated: 4/5 Oct 21, 2024 Full Review Kat Hughes THN Although far from perfect, Frewaka has several elements that continue to sustain excitement in the future work of Aislinn Clarke. Rated: 3/5 Oct 14, 2024 Full Review Amber Wilkinson Screen International The layering of various histories as a way of indicating how trauma can ricochet through generations is ambitiously approached, and the climax enjoyably sinister.
