Leprechaun

Let's pretend in the past that I didn't already do reviews of leprechaun 4 leprechaun in space and leprechaun in the hood with Ice T as well as the sequel to the sequel leprechaun back 2 the hood. Let's just pretend I didn't. This is the original leprechaun movie. Wicked/Willow Warwick Davis is killing and bustin out the puns. In a brash run of pun spinning magical monster horrors after Freddy Kruger, Warlock and Wishmaster came the leprechaun. It's really a classic B flick. All the fundamentals are there. City family go to the country side and get invaded by a monster in their country home. One by one people are getting killed and no one believes it but it really an angry ugly leprechaun after his pot of gold. Since the leprechaun let's you know what he is every chance he get's you would think they would be clear on this. This film actual screams shades of Critters, Gremlins and Tremors with it's loads of great B movie logic and pointless gore as well as loveable stupid characters.


This flick is a true 80s early 90s perfect B flick cause it's unknown star at the time is now a super star. Jennifer Aniston lookin hot and acting like the snobby city girl turned tough country chick is perfect in this. Most re releases of the DVD have her face on it now that she is a super tabloid star. But the real star is Warwick Davis in all his Skinned Deep gorey glory.
Really what happened that night when writers sat around and said "Ok the next horror franchise is gonna be about a killer leprechaun" oh oh oh and we can make a horror movie where a kid gets to say "Fuck you Lucky Charms".



Drinking game note... every time anyone says leprechaun .. do a shot... of something green.
