Trivia
First film featuring Carolyn Purdy-Gordon not to be directed by her husband Stuart Gordon. She had never desired to become a full-time film actress and thus, only appeared in films directed by her husband up until this one, which she did as a personal favor because her husband cameos in the film and was friends with David Schmoeller. She would only do two other films not involved with Stuart Gordon: Snow White: A Deadly Summer (2012) and ABCs of Death 2.5 (2016).

Alternate versions
The Global Multimedia DVD features a heavily edited 90-minute cut as "The Unwelcomed."

A familiar story...

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.
