Leprechaun: Origins Audience Reviews

PlatinumRead Just so...so bad
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Ilikehorrormovies This is the biggest slap to the face to leprechaun fans. I still think the Cabin Fever remake is the worse and this is second worse. It did take it seriously but still it sucks. The only one scene in the movie that made me think it's a leprechaun movie is the spine ripping. The director said he got that idea from Psycho? I don't remember Norman Bates rip any spine out INCLUDING THE REMAKE OF PSYCHO!!! The "leprechaun" is more like a predator and pumpkinhead then a leprechaun! The story is crap including everything else. The one cast member I like from the movie is Brendan Fletcher (he's from Freddy vs Jason). Honestly I like the poster (not with Hornswoggle face in it) it looks cool, better than the movie. This is the worst out of them all the Leprechaun movies. Don't watch this hot garbage, THIS MOVIE SUCKS!!!!!!!
jlroodt This film must rank as one of the worst films of all time in any category. The story builds no suspense, defies logic and insults the viewer's intelligence.Acting is very one-dimensional, but then again you can't blame the poor actors, as I am sure they would be capable of more if they had proper direction.The leprechaun itself looks like a kind of zombie crossed with a gorilla, with one singular growling sound and a range of motions limited two seemingly wobbling left to right on the spot.To top off everything, the cinematography and lighting is absolutely cringe-worthily bad. There are so many instances of poor lighting and excruciatingly poor lens and setup choices that it becomes distracting to the movie itself.Stay away or watch it to learn how not to.
jessegehrig It's the Leprechaun movie without Warwick Davis,if you've read any other reviews such a thing as that is folly. 1) All Leprechaun movies are garbage, if Warwick was able to escape this franchise we as his fans should salute him. 2) So if the only bright spot of any of the Leprechaun movies is Warwick Davis and this is the Leprechaun movie he was able to not have to appear in, the sum of that equation is this must be the worst of the Leprechaun movie so far. Math. 3) Everyday people seemingly make choices and those choices seemingly have consequences, despite many people knowing better not only was another Leprechaun movie made but it was made without Warwick Davis, money was put forward for an idea that was upon formation foolish yet also preordained. Isn't "Determinism" just another word for Fate?
oemazing These movies gained a cult following over the years due to their general campy nature mixed with horror, but this one entirely missed the mark. The greatest tragedy wasn't the lack of Warwick Davis, even though his role in previous installments is what created the cult, but the fact that the leprechaun didn't seem to follow any of the lore set in the original movies.The lack luster acting, terrible monster make-up, and just all around predictable nature of the plot made this movie only watchable if you enjoy ripping apart b-movies.This was clearly a pet project by someone who called-in a lot of favors to get it made to their liking with no respect to the franchise. This movie should have been made as a stand-alone film instead of trying to capitalize on the works of the earlier films.Don't bother watching this one.
