sandrastover-44578 As a kid this little devil use to scare me , now I don't see why lol , I love him now , he's like scary cute Warrick davis did a wonderful job playing lep and to me no one could do better
burnadrenaline This is the kind of stuff that good B-movies are made of. I didn't know that horror/comedy could work or be a thing until this movie. Essentially, you've got a kid, a clueless guy, and alpha-male type, and, for some strange reason, Jennifer Anniston being terrorized by an evil leprechaun.The back story of the estate and the pot of gold is a bit dark but the rest of the movie is about as funny as horror can be. Warwick Davis is great as the lead, and the rest of the cast seem to take the Lepruchaun at least somewhat seriously as a villain (which is about the best you can do.) If you don't get low-budget movies and unintentional comedy, stay away from this one. Also, it's not going to make you reevaluate life or put you in awe. However, if you love a laugh and have some free time, this is a good one.Some particular highlights include the Lepruchaun's obsession with shining shoes, a police chase involving a Barbie Jeep, and a guy getting killed by the Lepruchaun with a pogo stick. It's kind of like a can of that generic soda pop that you actually like, you know it's not the best, but it works for some people.
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.
one-nine-eighty Warwick Davies in his finest horror role as the Irish (but occasionally with slightly cockney accent) blood thirsty, gold coin loving, magic wielding, shoe shining, lucky charm chasing, rainbow loving Leprechaun menace. The story is thus, Dan O'Grady returns from Ireland where he claims to have captured a Leprechaun and won his gold. Thinking he can retire with his wealth he returns home to the USA but the Leprechaun wants his gold back and follows him. The start of the film is in essence a scene setting flashback, it shows how the Leprechaun gets trapped in a box by O'Grady which gets sealed with a four-leaf clover - a Leprechaun's natural enemy of course. Flash-Forward 20-30 years and the house where the Leprechaun is trapped has been sold, the previous owner (O'Grady) has been put in an OAP home as he's old now and has never been the same since the stroke inflicted on him magically by the Leprechaun at the end of the flash back sequence. J.D. has bought the house and along with his spoiled daughter Tory (Jennifer Aniston) the plan is to renovate the house and live in it. Misadventures of the young people lead to the Leprechaun being released to hunt for his gold no matter what happens to the people in his way - as it happens his pot'o'gold has been re-discovered at the end of a rainbow. Blood, guts, shoe-shining and a tricycle chase sequence are only part of this films (lucky) charm. As the film reaches it's climax it's a battle of good vs Leprechaun, who will win?!This film isn't really a horror movie like it promises, the action is weak, the acting is poor, the dialogue is almost embarrassing at times… but it's still very entertaining above all! A lot of people I know who have seen this compare it to other 90's horror however I don't think it's fair, this is more a horror movie in the sense of it being like a "Carry on" movie, occasionally camp, occasionally tongue in cheek but as far from being serious as can possibly be. Now I know what you are wondering, does the Leprechaun win or lose? Spoiler alert) Come back for my review of "Leprechaun 2" to find out.
