Jason Bailey Flavorwire The basic problem with 'Leprechaun' is that it just isn't scary, not even a little bit, not for the tiniest second, and that's the result of a basic failure at the conception stage. May 28, 2016 Full Review Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle Rated: 0/5 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Kevin Carr Fat Guys at the Movies The first scene teases a decent 90s horror film, then Jennifer Aniston shows up, and it all falls apart. Rated: 2.5/4 Mar 23, 2024 Full Review Jeffrey M. Anderson Common Sense Media This gory, comical horror movie has long aggravated critics, but has pleased horror hounds over the years with its playful attitude and silly approach; taking it seriously is to do it a disservice. Rated: 3/5 Oct 30, 2023 Full Review Stephanie Archer Film Inquiry Leprechaun is a film that severely requires the viewer to suspend all believability and plausibility. Yet, if you sit back and just go along for the ride, you will find Leprechaun to be more enjoyable than you might expect.

James B This film is boring but the moment that aren't are actually quite fun and goofy and Warick Davis portrays the leprechaun fantastically. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/10/24 Full Review Audience Member I really don't get the hate. It's obviously not going to be scary, and don't walk into it thinking that. But if you just play along and have fun with it you'll find out it's just a campy, stupid, fun movie. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/14/24 Full Review Jared E Classic movie, I think if you don't think of it as a horror but as a fantasy and a quirky but fun one you will enjoy it. Don't expect to be terrified but to be interested. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/02/24 Full Review Rachel R the worst movie ive ever seen Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/11/24 Full Review Jaylen S I had fun with it there were some fun gory kills and campy stuff. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/16/24 Full Review Mystic Wizard Lizard This movie, neigh piece of cinema is an artwork, which made me revaluate humanity it's self. Just in the opening minutes we hear Tori, our guide through this art-house esc world say in response to hearing "Don't judge a book by it's cover" says "Dad, this house doesn't even have a cover." I had to pause the movie, go to a waterfall and listen to Mozart whilst meditating. After this I returned to my house at about 2:46 in the morning and resumed the film. The I saw him, the leprechaun which was easily the most horrible thing to ever match a gaze with my eyes, I felt the hair on my arm raise up, and my spine go erect, but then he went to clean the most funny character in existence, Ozzy's shoes I screamed, a sound that echoed the roar of primal man, that shook the very foundation of the room, the cat on my lap scratched me and ran off, and the neighbor's dogs barked at me! To express this art I would need to write a Novel, neigh, a tome. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/11/24 Full Review Read all reviews
