Review
Ah yes, what better way to celebrate St. Patrick's Day than with a Leprechaun. Doesn't that sound fun? No? Then I wouldn't watch this film either. The main figment of the film is, well the leprechaun, played by former Ewok, Warwick Davis. And that is why the film fails as well. He really isn't that scary, maybe it's the purple pants or the fact that...it's a leprechaun, trying to eliminate people with a pogo stick, or...having his getaway vehicle being a tricycle and a go kart. Also, what is he going to do with the coins if he got them all? Actually, this film is a perfect checklist of horror films. It has a few characters, in a secluded place, where one stalks them (being something unpredictable), the phone goes out, the car never starts when needed, the comedy relief that either manages to escape or not, and a mediocre run time of 90 minutes. Is the acting good? Ha ha, no. Its acting is average, not really anything useful. And yes, this is an example of an actor having their debut in horror films. Why, I don't know. Is it any good? Are leprechauns scary? I think we both know the answer. Happy St. Patrick's Day I suppose.
Overall, I give it 3 out of 10 stars.
