Leprechaun

source: Leprechaun

One must be under the influence of something to enjoy this.

If it wasn't for Warwick Davis and Jennifer Aniston this horror flick would have been forgotten long ago. For a horror, it's really not that bad, also two things I learnt from re-watching this movie, first is this made me laugh more than most 'Friends' episodes, and second, Jennifer Aniston has made a load of movies far worse than 'Leprechaun'.

This movie was stunningly poor. Stunningly poor. I am at a loss to explain how anyone could justify one sequel, much less three. Hell, I can't figure out how the damned movie even managed to get distributed in the first place (despite the Jennifer Aniston factor, which is really no factor...her feeble powers are completely overwhelmed by this amateurish nightmare of a film). The story is dull, the dialogue is flat, and the decrepit little villain is evil in the most unimaginative, unmagical ways. It's hard to believe anyone could write such a boring, labored script. If you're looking for a pot o' gold at your local Blockbuster, don't bother searching for it in a plastic case marked "Leprechaun." All you'll find there is a tepid cauldron of algae-coated swamp water.

The first credited big screen role for the hot Jennifer Anniston before she became a big star on Friends. You can see why she was the attraction in that show watching her at 23. Warwick Davis, who played the leprechaun in this and three other movies, also appeared in all the Harry Potter movies. As for the rest of the cast, I haven't a clue. Must have seen some of them as bartenders or guards in other films. The whole movie was the family running away from the leprechaun. Not much of a story, but It was fun to see Anniston. We know the little sucker will be back despite their efforts to kill him.

Someone probably could have taken the legend of the leprechaun and made a decent horror, but unfortunately is not it. It falls short with it cheesiness and excessive gore...it may be the only movie I've seen with death by pogo stick. Really, the only reason to watch this movie is if you want to see Jennifer Aniston in her first feature film (pre-Friends). Her character isn't too far from Rachel Green. This is just your typical horror movie with a leprechaun doing the killing. I think a better idea for a horror story with leprechauns would have been to have the little one creatively punish people based on their wishes...then again, just about anything would have been better than this movie. *1/2 (Our of 4)

there's really not much to say about this movie,it's about a killer demonic leprechaun that's trying to reclaim it's lost gold it stars a really young Jennifer Aniston in her first feature role. the leprechaun is played by Warwick Davis who also played in the movie willow as the main character which came several years before this movie.the leprechaun makeup is pretty cool,but the only reason to watch this movie and the sequels is because of the leprechauns personality,one thing that's remarkably far fetching is that the leprechaun weakness is 4 leaf clovers.this movie got a lot of sequels,it's common that most horror series get stupid as they go on.but leprechaun is stupid from the start it's a awful movie but the world of cinema needed a killer leprechaun.this movie did have some good gore.

"Leprechaun" Is A Campy, Cult Horror Classic About A Murderous Leprechaun On A Search For His Missing Gold. It's A Great Example Of A Cult Classic And It Deserves All Of The Recognition It's Received Since The Film Was Released With Negative Reviews. It's Cheesy And Laughable. It's Eye Roll Worthy And Fun At Times. It's Not Perfect In Its Visual Effects Or Writing Or Execution. Still, The Producers Definitely Made Good Use Of Their Budget By Hiring Actors That Did Their Job Well Enough To Carry The Film. You Can Only Take This Film As Seriously As It Wants You To, And It Doesn't Want You To Take It So Seriously. So If You Go Into This Film Expecting To See A Clever, Well-Directed Slasher Instead Of A Ludicrous, Entertaining B Movie, You Will Be Greatly Disappointed. 41%.

When i rented this movie, I thought I was in for a classic and memorable horror experience. I mean, everybody's heard of this movie, right, so it would have to be sort of good. WRONG! This movie was so bad it wasn't even laughably bad. When it was supposed to be scary, it wasn't. When it was supposed to be funny, it wasn't. The whole movie is pretty much just a site gag ("Ha Ha! Look at the midget run!") with some sort of poor excuse for a plot. Oompa Loopas are funnier and scarier. Also, it has one of those feel good endings that really makes me hate 90s horror. This movie failed miserably.

Well, this movie was nothing spectacular, but it was fun. It had a cool cast of characters, and it was a movie in which i actually liked Jennifer Aniston (other than "The Good Girl" in which she was awesome). Maybe if Jennifer Aniston stayed a little more down to Earth like in this movie, she would still be cool. Warwick Davis was a hoot, very convincing. Such an unlikely premise, and the fact that everyone seemed to have fun, not taking them selves too seriously was cool. The lighting was a bit poor in some parts however. Overall, a fun movie to watch late at night, it doesn't require too much concentration and has some good laughs.
