LEPRECHAUN (Theatrical Release USA 1993)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 2.7|5.0 Starsìì

Leprechaun has the class act of Warwick Davis depicting a really evil leprechaun. He has an excellent supporting cast. The film made an eight to one box office intake and seems to range in an almost cult classic range of film partially due to the dark side of this leprechaun...no child’s play or nimble tricks here...this leprechaun is down to do business. Kudos to Holly Davis for terrific costume design and the makeup department for its outstanding artistry.

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?

Yes. It’s good to see Warwick Davis in this lead role and to see Jennifer Aniston in some of her earlier works. This film is not really a horror film, although it has its moments. The movie has five sequels starring Warwick Davis as the leprechaun. If one is looking for real horror, however, better watches are Saw and Saw II.
