Leprechaun: The Beginning

First off, you need to have a certain personality to love b-rate schlock. It let's you pass things off and find them as entertaining and charming. This movie, however, cuts every corner they could. The makeup artist should be ashamed of themselves for even allowing that abomination to be shown on screen. The script should've been burned. I can't believe people actually auditioned to be in this slop. The acting was actually just fine, but I feel bad for them having to work with this script. The dialogue at least had good enough sound quality to it. Also, don't expect literally anything to happen for 30 minutes and at least they finally gave the leprechaun gloves after the initial first scene. Genius stuff there guys.

When I sat down to the watch the 2025 horror movie "Leprechaun: The Beginning", I figured that the movie would be tied in with the "Leprechaun" franchise that had Warwick Davis in the role of the leprechaun. Alas, "Leprechaun: The Beginning" had nothing to do with that franchise. And the glorious 2.7 rating that the movie had snagged, when I sat down to watch it, definitely served as a warning sign of the level of entertainment this movie would prove to be.

The storyline in "Leprechaun: The Beginning", as written by Alessandro Di Giuseppe put together a script and storyline that, while being pretty straightforward, just simply was too generic.

I was not familiar with a single actor or actress on the cast list, and that was actually the best thing about the ordeal that is "Leprechaun: The Beginning". I do enjoy watching new and unfamiliar talents on the screen. The acting performances in the movie were a mixed bag of nuts; some of the performances were okay, while others were wooden and lifeless.

The first time you see the leprechaun pretty much set the bar of the movie extremely low, because they had painted the face and part of the neck greenish, but forgotten about the rest of the neck and the hands, which were the actor's own skin tone. It was just such a horrible mistake to make.

The movie's cover was actually the best thing about the entire ordeal.

This is definitely not a movie that I would recommend you to waste 87 minutes of your life on. Some of us virtually suffered through this, so you don't have to; you're quite welcome.

My rating of director Rahul Gandhi's 2025 movie "Leprechaun: The Beginning" lands on a generous two out of ten stars.

I would rather chew glass, step on 800 nails, and pour bleach into my eye sockets than EVER watch this movie again. I've truly seen better acting at a 3 year olds school play. This movie was so awful I'd say it's one of the most disappointing and tragic events since 9/11. This movie left me with several questions he bit a girls neck and she just died? He didn't even bite it hard and she just died. He's not a vampire just a sad excuse of a leprechaun he looked more like yoda on crack. Genuinely save your time and watch paint dry.

This daft movie is 100% missible. So missible, in fact, that you can. . .miss that you gave it a miss, so then in some weeks/months you slip up and watch it and then kick yourself with "How could I? Did someone spike my drink or what?" What happened is that you are human and so erring comes with the territory.

When I fall down that hole, instead of kicking myself, I let it serve as a reminder that I need to read some more Plato. That way I flip a negative into a positive.

Can ya dig it?

First and foremost, do not be misled. This is unrelated to the original Leprechaun movies. The review posted above me pretty much nailed it. This movie is awful. Seriously, it's an hour and a half of my life I'm never getting back. Yet somehow, as big of a trainwreck as it was, I still watched to the end. I think I was just curious if it was going to get worse. Spoiler alert, it did. The effects are terrible. The acting is terrible. The plot is terrible.
