Review of Leprechaun: Origins (2014) by Chase H — 04 Jan 2015

(20%).

Besides Leprechaun in the hood part 2, I've seen all of these movies and the only aspect that kept the wheels going round for all those editions was Warwick Davis. He was always was fun to watch, and despite the quality dipping very low towards the later films, he always gave the impression that he at least cared and was trying to create an enjoyable final product. This though features a mute killer goblin likened monster with predator vision that has barely anything in common with the comical character we've grown to expect. So what you're left with is a typical generic Hollywood horror B-picture with a broken view of Ireland (the pub scenes appear to be set within the 19th century), that's void of any thrills, and would be considered quite tame even by 1950's horror standards. It isn't terrible, but everyone has seen this type of fluff many times before.
