MCT:April 28, 2008The rest of the series sucked. However this is a classic and a bit creepy at times. Personally I had fun watching this film.

MCT:April 20, 2008PISSED OFF FUCKING LEPRECHAUN WANTS HIS GOLD BACK. He'll give you a stroke! He'll pogo stick you to death! He'll...he'll...hm. Get shot a lot. I swear to God the good guys unload 30 shotgun shells into him, not realizing that it doesn't seem to work. Whatever; no one ever claimed that intelligence was a hallmark of 80s horror. And this movie is a perfect example of that.

MCT:April 13, 2008They do say that you should never take a leprechaun's pot of gold, but Dan O'Grady (Shay Duffin) made that mistake, and paid for it when the little critter came to reclaim it, took his wife's life and committed the old man to a loony home. Ten years on J.D. Redding (John Sanderford) has bought the house and invites his daughter, Tory (Anniston - yes, that one from "Friends"!), to stay with him. After meeting local hunky handyman, Nathan (Olandt - "April Fools Day"), Tory takes more of a shine to the rundown house than she initially thought she might. But there's a leprechaun around, and soon he is terrorising the unsuspecting inhabitants with hilarious limericks and his own brand of brutal murder.
I like a rubbish movie as much as the next person, but "Leprechaun" just defies belief. A killer leprechaun is a reasonably cute idea for a horror movie (in the mould of "Childs Play"), but despite the best efforts of pint-sized actor Warwick Davis ("Return of the Jedi", "Willow", Labryinth", "Harry Potter"), the whole thing is a ludicrious and unentertaining mess. The acting is obviously absymal (the double act of overweight simpleton, Ozzie, and his irritating 12-going-on-30-year-old friend, Alex, is painful), the direction is about as thoughtful and exciting as you might expect (ie "not very") and the script is desperately lacking in humour or imaginiative twists. Mark Jones has not gone on to create a storm in the world of directing (unless you count the carbon-copy idea, "Rumpelstilkskin" from 1996) and it is no surprise.
Stay clear of this. Only point of interest is the pre-"Friends" Jennifer Anniston. Just goes to show you that stars can come from the most unlikely places. -

Awesome niche horror film about a man who captures a leprechaun and brings it back home in order to have his wishes granted. Turns out though, the Leprechaun is evil as shit and takes the old man and his wife out, but then goes into a four-leaf clover coma until a group of people awaken him and all hell starts breaking loose. The Leprechaun is Warwick Davis' (Willow) pinnacle character of cinema. He really created something unique, and while a lot of people may find this series to be awful, I enjoy them purely for the cheese factor and the often times that it can be truly hilarious to watch. And hey, it's got Rachel in it, LOL!

At least it makes me laugh... but it's so bad. It's hard to tell if this movie is actually taking itself seriously but... judging by the death by pogo stick moment I would seriously hope not.
