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.

GRUNT

Grunt THE WRESTLING MOVIE.

Great sub title "The Wrestling movie". Guess they figure no one else would ever do a movie about wrestling. HHmmm . Grunt is the Spinal Tap of Wrestling. As if Wrestling wasn't the Spinal Tap of sports already. I love wrestling and you all know it. Grunt however, it's even more of a required taste. It's a MOCKumentary about a wrestler that's gone into hiding right when he was at the top of his game. After a terrible in ring accident involving a be heading his opponent while caught in the ropes, wrestling superstar MAD DOG has gone into hiding. Many think Mad Dog is dead but the director of this documentary is determined to prove that new up and comer THE MASK is actually Mad Dog in disguise. Cameos from long forgotten southern super old school stars like Dick Murdoch and Dan Spivey. Some wild yet looooong women's wrestling matches added in with very unattractive women and a final Battle Royale that reminds me of the end of Nacho Libre. After seeing The Wrestler this movie will seem like an insult to fans but for fans of cheesie ass B movies this is wacko story telling with bad bad BAD acting at it's finest. It feels like the Stunt Rock of Wrestling, what's Stunt Rock? Yeesh that's a whole other story.



The weirdest thing is this film makes it seem like some people thought wrestling was real and that they were being witty. Am I just too into wrestling to find this funny? Wow I am a dork! Vince Mcmahon would be proud. Sadly not enough Luchadores in this movie though.

Drinking game, chug your beer everytime some one says a wrestling move or talks about the "good old days".

NIGHT BEAST

NIGHT BEAST

PLOT: Before the predator there was another well around ugly son of a bitch from space, it was The Night Beast. Every time I think of the name or see this movies amazing lazor type font I have to since it in a 80s rock anthem sound. Thinking Nighttrain by Guns and Roses mainly of course. The Night Beast crashes into earth in his handi vac looking space ship in of course a small hick town run by its naive sheriff who looks like a cross between Will Ferrell as Ron Burgundy and John Holmes. The Night Beast comes from the epic white light of his crash site, wearing a shiny silver space man costume and wacky beyond wacky narley teeth and lizard buggy eyes. Snarly and drooling but still looking fabulous in his silver jump suit. The night beast straight out of a Funkedelic stage show starts blasting bewildered campers with his lazor gun.




Everyone shot by the blasts shines is pyschodelic lazor floyd lights then disappears into nothing. When the night beats vaporizes two kids in a car it totally awesome. There is some sub plot with a extremely awkward sex scene with the pasty asses sheriff and is partner. Also a local dork tries to be a hero as some drunk biker has been laying the beats on some hooker with a terrible tan line. Suffice to say they all end up lazor dust to the night beast a long with a few people the beat decide to tear apart with his bare claws. In two separate scenes they try to take the alien out in moments obviously inspired from the original Thing. The TERRIBLE yet AMAZING stilted characters and their terrible acting makes this film so much fun. My favourites are of course the pasty asses sheriff and the doctor with his plan to electrocute the beast which he takes forever to do and the beast just stands there and lets him do it. Basically in short a bunch of really dumb yokals and a group of wanna be playboys get attacked by the predator dressed like a member of P funk and they all die faaabulously. Troma has rereleased a documentary on this film and as a sweet bonus you get the whole film free with it. A real fun alien schlock a rama.
