Leprechaun Returns

This film is great for what it is: a comedic sequel to the original movie. A big strength lies in that it is very self-aware and never takes itself too seriously. The corny jokes are funny, as are the wee one's evil antics. The characters are mostly one-dimensional slasher archetypes, but for the most part they add to the comedy. The acting is not bad at all with comedic timing being generally pretty good and the lines delivered well. The deaths are absurd, and so far beyond the realm of physical possibility--even while suspending disbelief--you can't help but laugh. Again, it doesn't take itself seriously and doesn't expect the viewer to either. Given this, the writing and direction are pretty great. The leprechaun's makeup is on point, and the special effects are surprisingly good.

Genuinely funny, self-aware, and more or less Oscar-worthy compared to what I have seen of other Syfy Originals.

It's the best Leprechaun 🍀 Movie in the franchise. 5/10

This film takes place 25 years after the event of the first film n therefore this is the original sequel. It also explains the whereabouts of the gold n how the Leprechaun returns. Makes more sense than all the other sequels. A group of students decide to spend their summer vacation turning the house (into some eco friendly project) of Tory Reding (Jennifer Aniston), now dead. One of the student is Tory's daughter. The small boy, his elder brother n Tory's father ain't present in this sequel but we hav Ozzie (the guy who swallowed the coin in the original). The sequels never explained what happened to him n the missing coin.

This is no doubt a worthy sequel n much much better than the awful 2014's Leprechaun Origins. The guy who played the leprechaun in this film did a nice job but Warwick Davis will always be remembered.

The rhyming jokes r back, the kills r gory n once again the film is set in proper daylight, shaky stuff n darkly shot scenes r avoided. Ther is one frontal/coronal plane body slicing scene, two decapitations, one decapitation with head smashing, tap rod mouth blasting scene, etc.

I really wanted to like this movie. When I saw the trailer, I thought it wouldn't be that bad. It was, and wasn't. I admire that they at least put effort into the Leprechaun. Sure, he might not look like the original, but I think he looks damn good. I will say there was a lot of cringy scenes, but that has to go with the writing. If you have seen all the Leprechaun films then check this one out. Fans of the first will probably enjoy that this is a direct sequel, but it doesn't live up to the hype.

I was going in to this movie just like every other reboot or sequel from the 90s horror era that they decided to make now....but for a syfy movie this movie is good and it's funny. The new guy who played the leprechaun did good....Ossie from the original is good in this movie it's worth the watch.....and it's better then tales from the hood 2 and jeepers creepers 3
