“The Weir” is a suspenseful realism combining chilling tales of the supernatural with hilarious banter of a small community in the heart of rural Ireland. In a bar in Sligo, Ireland, local men swap spooky stories in an attempt to impress a young woman from Dublin who recently moved into a nearby “haunted” house. And then she spins a yarn of her own.
