paulclaassen I can summarize the film in one word: BAD. Or two words: VERY BAD. Bad acting, bad story, bad dialogue, bad effects, bad film. Everything happens by chance and nothing is justified. This has no entertainment value whatsoever, it's hard to believe it spawned several sequels. The writer/director had some ideas but didn't know how to gel them together to make any sense.
GL84 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.
jacobjohntaylor1 This a great movie. 4.6 is underrating. Leprechaun back 2 t.h.a hood with is the sixth Leprechaun movie is better. Still his is one the scariest movies to come out before 2003. This is one of the scariest movies from the 90's. This a lot scarier then people give it credit for. Jennifer Aniston is a great actress. Warwick Davis is a great actor. He is very scary in this movie. This movie has great acting. It also has a great story line. It also has great special effects. If this movie does not scary then no movie will. You may to what to watch this movie alone. It is very scary. See this movie. It is a great movie. It so underrated. This movie is a just. If know a good horror movie see it.
Dom Nickson Spoiler Alert! This movie is for people who love comedy horror films. It's seriously the least scary and most funny film I've ever seen try to be scary. It's so fun seeing the Leprechaun try and kill people that are over half his height. What's even funnier is the kills themselves, there's one where he jumps on a guy to death with a pogo stick. It's nice to see a younger and better looking Jennifer Aniston as the lead female character. It's also nice to see Chubs from Teen Wolf as the dumb brained painter, Ozzy. Out of them all he's my favorite character because he was willing to sacrifice himself for the young boy at the end. I liked this film even though sometimes I don't like the idea of having a killer being somebody that's way shorter than the rest of the characters like seriously, it's not scary. I give this film a 5 out of 10 because it's the 90's when horror movies seemed to get lamer and even more ridiculous.
