A Masterpiece!

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Guys, first of all I want to say is that this work has nothing to do with previous six movies. I consider it is a pretty good film, admit that some may find it scary, but it is quite another movie. There is no comedy segment in here, not a single fine joke. I want you to notice that actor for the title creature (leprechaun as they misnamed it) has not seen a movie of the Leprechaun series, this fact tells a lot. Creators of this flick tried to make a distinctively different kind of movie, they brought it on. But the pity is why did they call it Leprechaun? One of the few good attributes of the picture is its shortness. By the way about its "leprechaun", many fans of original series will find it unpleasant to see such a leprechaun, it is just a regular wild roaring monster from a horror movie. The only resembling features are lust for gold and Irish origin and that is it. Do not expect old good leprechaun stuff from this movie. Everything is cheap and dull.

It's the Leprechaun movie without Warwick Davis,if you've read any other reviews such a thing as that is folly. 1) All Leprechaun movies are garbage, if Warwick was able to escape this franchise we as his fans should salute him. 2) So if the only bright spot of any of the Leprechaun movies is Warwick Davis and this is the Leprechaun movie he was able to not have to appear in, the sum of that equation is this must be the worst of the Leprechaun movie so far. Math. 3) Everyday people seemingly make choices and those choices seemingly have consequences, despite many people knowing better not only was another Leprechaun movie made but it was made without Warwick Davis, money was put forward for an idea that was upon formation foolish yet also preordained. Isn't "Determinism" just another word for Fate?

These movies gained a cult following over the years due to their general campy nature mixed with horror, but this one entirely missed the mark. The greatest tragedy wasn't the lack of Warwick Davis, even though his role in previous installments is what created the cult, but the fact that the leprechaun didn't seem to follow any of the lore set in the original movies.The lack luster acting, terrible monster make-up, and just all around predictable nature of the plot made this movie only watchable if you enjoy ripping apart b-movies.This was clearly a pet project by someone who called-in a lot of favors to get it made to their liking with no respect to the franchise. This movie should have been made as a stand-alone film instead of trying to capitalize on the works of the earlier films.Don't bother watching this one.

OK first things first, this is not a Warwick Davies Leprechaun title. In fact the WWE (yes the actual Wrestling company) have 'rebooted' the film, however instead of a little fella running around in Green it's more of a rubber demon/goblin attacking people rather than a stereotypical Leprechaun. I was actually hoping for the later when I saw that Dylan "Hornswoggle" Postl was in the film, especially having been a Leprechaun in some of the Wrestling angles within the WWE over the years. This film is soo poor that I was angry with myself for sitting and watching it, at least my girlfriend managed to fall asleep - I wasn't that lucky (FML) !!!Where do I start? OK this is a typical 'cabin in the woods' and 'locals up to no good' film. A handful of American kids backpacking through Ireland (even though the scenery shows it's clearly not Ireland at all!!). They meet strangers, they get put up for the night in a random cabin, they don't question the amount of locks on the doors, they don't question why the locals are being nasty and then nice to them for no reason, they get attacked by a monster - yes a monster, and one by one they get attacked. The monster is so bad and is blatantly a small man in a rubber suit, maybe it was an embarrassment for the film crew as there are very few shots of the monster without a random post editing blur applied to hide how embarrassingly rubber the monster was - I've seen more convincing beast in very early Hammer House Horror films. The blur is annoying and the fact that you never really see the monster in a full shot is very like early horror films where production teams were cleverly trying to be convincing with the like of the 'Monster from the Black Lagoon', apart from in this there is technology to make a good film… but it just wasn't used properly.After watching this film I might go back and bump the ratings I gave for the original Leprechaun films up by a few stars - this travesty of an embarrassment of a film was that awful that I am really struggling to say anything nice about it. In hindsight any low rating I gave the original Leprechaun films should be revoked, re-rated, drizzled with gold and diamonds and re-submitted to IMDb.Bad directing, poor acting, terrible narrative, annoying effects…. Did Lionsgate and the WWE really want to put their name to this? The Leprechaun formula has been smashed into tiny pieces and it'll be hard to put it together again - poor Warwick as he really managed to find a film franchise perfect for him (ok, that was slightly tongue in cheek praise but if you have seen this film you'll understand.)My mum raised me with the belief that if I haven't got anything good to say about something I should stay quiet, with that in mind my final summary of the film is this………………………………………………………..Thank you - Avoid this film!
