When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

A hilarious attempt to create a slasher movie with a leprechaun as the main villain, it's all about a girl (A young Jennifer Aniston) and her dad who move to the country. What they don't know is that the previous owner stole the gold of a leprechaun and locked it up in the basement, They hire 2 men and a boy to do a paint job and the clumsy one (who's supposed to be mentally challenged) accidentally releases the leprechaun (A great part played by Warwick Davis). And soon the leprechaun starts killing off\or terrorizes anyone who comes on his path, the thing i personally really like about this movie and it's sequel is the acting of Warwick Davis because he really let's him self go as a psychotic little creep who just wants his gold back. He did a great job on the on-liners and acting, i think most fans of the genre are known with the film. However i don't know about the most people who watch mainstream movies, it never really gets over the top bloody or violent. It's more of a game of hide and seek between the victims and the leprechaun, if you've never seen it just give it try. It's a well made horror comedy, however there's one aspect i can't stand which is that Jennifer Aniston acts like she's embarrassed when someone finds out she starred in this movie. Typicall starlet behavior, there's nothing wrong with starring in a B movie. Anyway in my opinion it's a good one. Just watch it and you'll have a blast.

All right, I bought the entire series for 7 bucks at Walmart. I love their Halloween DVD sales and the entire Leprechaun series was up for grabs. I had only seen 3 of them but I needed to see the other 3. I had only seen the movies on SyFy where it is heavily edited, so it was nice to finally watch it in its splendor.Long story short, it's so bad it's good. The acting is pretty iffy and it is obvious Jennifer Aniston was still honing her leading lady skills. Like in all the movies in the series, the acting is mostly carried by Warwick Davis. Without him, this wouldve been a cringeworthy movie, like Sharknado or anything that SyFy makes to match the original franchise. It's actually the LEAST gorier of the 6 films (not counting the 2014 mistake. You can see the premise of the movies is slowly taking shape and even though it's not one of the most horrifying movies you have ever seen, it still carries a sense of uniqueness and creepiness. The movie didn't have much to work with: modest budget, small cast, shaky direction and laughable dialogue. To me, it's one of those movies that gets you in the mood for Halloween and all the scary movie marathons. For some reason, the Leprechaun's forewarning rhyme at the end will always be creepy to me, I don't know why but it did kinda set the mood to watch the 2nd one. This is one of those movies where it pays off more to have fun watching it than telling you what it is about. The second you mention the word LEPRECHAUN, somebody is already giggling in defiance. Just pick this movie up and enjoy it for what it is: B movie legend.

Traveling to a family-owned farmhouse, a teen and her friends inadvertently free a deadly leprechaun stored away who begins to terrorize them looking for his stolen gold coins they've found and forces them to fend off his attacks in order to leave.This one wasn't all that bad and had some good parts to it. Among the film's better elements is the fact that there's a modicum of suspense attempted here during some of the stalking scenes, keeping this one a lot more serious than expected at times. The the prologue encounter in the house during the driving thunderstorm is a prime example of that kind of creepy encounters while the tormenting done on the police officer in the woods is just as much fun with the twisted game of hide-n-seek in the rather creepy location before getting to the final twist. The house assault is even more fun with them coming back to find the mess which shows that someone's in there with them, the quick pop-up attacks to torment them as he comes out of the cupboards or begins running through the house to get at them as they continuously fail to stop him from getting in close quarters for some brutal attacks. The complacency attempt is really fun as well as once he finds what he believes to be a ruse he launches even more rather brutal sequences as he traps them inside the house in some really enjoyable features here that all piles together into the film's highlight scene. Even the finale offers up some fun with the battle in the clover patch and getting in the actual method for dealing with the creature really gives this some high-energy action to end this effectively. This is nicely boosted by the cheesy parts here in the shop owner's encounter or the chase around the retirement home that's quite goofy and cheesy, while his constant quips and limericks all round out the different attitudes here which are all fully employed here to give this a lot to like. As the kills here do get somewhat bloody and creative, there's some great positives her to make this enjoyable enough to hold it's own from the few negatives. The main issue here comes from the cheesy side of the film which isn't really depicted as scary or thrilling as instead it's more goofy than anything which isn't exactly an appreciative tone for these kinds of films. There's another small flaw is the relatively few kills here which manage to really drag the first half down by holding off the kills and tricks until the second half. It's all that really holds this one down.Rated R: Graphic Violence and Graphic Language.

Dan O'Grady returns home after stealing the Leprechaun (Warwick Davis)'s pot of gold. The Leprechaun stowaway in his suitcase. Armed with a pistol and a four leaf clover, Dan is able to stuff him in a crate. He suffers a stroke before he can set it on fire. Ten years later, J. D. Redding rents the rustic O'Grady farmhouse and his materialistic daughter Tory (Jennifer Aniston) wants to leave immediately. After meeting hot handyman Nathan Murphy, Tory changes her mind about the house. Tory, Nathan, his little brother Alex and idiot friend Ozzie have to battle the violent dwarf who is searching for his gold.This is extremely cheesy. The Leprechaun costume looks ridiculously campy. Being scared of a four leaf clover makes him look really silly. The whole thing is one big joke. Jennifer Aniston does look good but that's the only redeeming quality. It's a horror that is more likely to make you laugh at its silliness. Although, actual attempts at humor are too stupid to be funny.
