Ilikehorrormovies This is the biggest slap to the face to leprechaun fans. I still think the Cabin Fever remake is the worse and this is second worse. It did take it seriously but still it sucks. The only one scene in the movie that made me think it's a leprechaun movie is the spine ripping. The director said he got that idea from Psycho? I don't remember Norman Bates rip any spine out INCLUDING THE REMAKE OF PSYCHO!!! The "leprechaun" is more like a predator and pumpkinhead then a leprechaun! The story is crap including everything else. The one cast member I like from the movie is Brendan Fletcher (he's from Freddy vs Jason). Honestly I like the poster (not with Hornswoggle face in it) it looks cool, better than the movie. This is the worst out of them all the Leprechaun movies. Don't watch this hot garbage, THIS MOVIE SUCKS!!!!!!!

jessegehrig It's the Leprechaun movie without Warwick Davis,if you've read any other reviews such a thing as that is folly. 1) All Leprechaun movies are garbage, if Warwick was able to escape this franchise we as his fans should salute him. 2) So if the only bright spot of any of the Leprechaun movies is Warwick Davis and this is the Leprechaun movie he was able to not have to appear in, the sum of that equation is this must be the worst of the Leprechaun movie so far. Math. 3) Everyday people seemingly make choices and those choices seemingly have consequences, despite many people knowing better not only was another Leprechaun movie made but it was made without Warwick Davis, money was put forward for an idea that was upon formation foolish yet also preordained. Isn't "Determinism" just another word for Fate?

one-nine-eighty OK first things first, this is not a Warwick Davies Leprechaun title. In fact the WWE (yes the actual Wrestling company) have 'rebooted' the film, however instead of a little fella running around in Green it's more of a rubber demon/goblin attacking people rather than a stereotypical Leprechaun. I was actually hoping for the later when I saw that Dylan "Hornswoggle" Postl was in the film, especially having been a Leprechaun in some of the Wrestling angles within the WWE over the years. This film is soo poor that I was angry with myself for sitting and watching it, at least my girlfriend managed to fall asleep - I wasn't that lucky (FML) !!!Where do I start? OK this is a typical 'cabin in the woods' and 'locals up to no good' film. A handful of American kids backpacking through Ireland (even though the scenery shows it's clearly not Ireland at all!!). They meet strangers, they get put up for the night in a random cabin, they don't question the amount of locks on the doors, they don't question why the locals are being nasty and then nice to them for no reason, they get attacked by a monster - yes a monster, and one by one they get attacked. The monster is so bad and is blatantly a small man in a rubber suit, maybe it was an embarrassment for the film crew as there are very few shots of the monster without a random post editing blur applied to hide how embarrassingly rubber the monster was - I've seen more convincing beast in very early Hammer House Horror films. The blur is annoying and the fact that you never really see the monster in a full shot is very like early horror films where production teams were cleverly trying to be convincing with the like of the 'Monster from the Black Lagoon', apart from in this there is technology to make a good film… but it just wasn't used properly.After watching this film I might go back and bump the ratings I gave for the original Leprechaun films up by a few stars - this travesty of an embarrassment of a film was that awful that I am really struggling to say anything nice about it. In hindsight any low rating I gave the original Leprechaun films should be revoked, re-rated, drizzled with gold and diamonds and re-submitted to IMDb.Bad directing, poor acting, terrible narrative, annoying effects…. Did Lionsgate and the WWE really want to put their name to this? The Leprechaun formula has been smashed into tiny pieces and it'll be hard to put it together again - poor Warwick as he really managed to find a film franchise perfect for him (ok, that was slightly tongue in cheek praise but if you have seen this film you'll understand.)My mum raised me with the belief that if I haven't got anything good to say about something I should stay quiet, with that in mind my final summary of the film is this………………………………………………………..Thank you - Avoid this film!

angelwench70 Most of the reviews here do nothing but whine about it not being like the original. Well, I am glad it wasn't. I don't think a horror movie should be more of a comedy than horror. No the acting wasn't spectacular, but they did OK and it was fun to watch. I do think they could have done a little better on the leprechaun monster, as it did look like it had been burnt or something. But the leprechauns of Celtic lore made them out to be horrific monsters anyway. And in all, I think this was a good little horror flick, so thank you to the director and screenwriter for taking it a totally new and HORROR direction!
