Anyone with fond memories of the campy original (and that probably doesn't include Jennifer Aniston, who made her screen debut in it), should steer clear of this edition, whose title character has no devilish charm at all. Go to Full Review

Tired, airless, inexcusably ugly. Go to Full Review

In the end, what we have is a mediocre movie that nobody would care about if it didn't adopt the name of a semi-popular horror franchise and smack a pro wrestler's name onto the top of the poster. Go to Full Review
Brad Miska Bloody Disgusting 03/16/2018
Leprechaun is the worst kind of horror movie. It's just so generic and bland that it's not worth a second of your time. Go to Full Review

I'm not going to pretend the original movies were classics, but they definitely won't lull you to sleep like "Origins." Go to Full Review

Davis's performance, his sense of theatricality, and his villainous make-up are deeply missed. Go to Full Review

Aidan O @adnoy 5d Yes, I know lots of people didn’t like this movie, but in my opinion the scares were just right, the kills looked fantastic and so did the effects! and it was just a great movie in general. See more Justin T Nov 24 Much as there is a noticeable improvement to the cinematography and grading as well as the sound design being more modern and bombastic it is severely unwatchable due to the one dimensional boring characters and terrible writing. The previous film did a better job of telling an origin story. After the unimaginative generic setup it gets very slow and boring. It reminded me of Carnivore: Werewolf of London (2017) with people stuck in a cabin with something ferocious trying to get them. Also Until Dawn (2015) (the game not the movie) but far less interesting or intelligent. It has a totally different vibe to the previous films, no lightheartedness whatsoever. It’s about as creatively generic and forgettable as you could possibly get but technically it’s not badly made. They try to hide the look of the leprechaun and what you do see of it looks terrible. A bit like the monsters from The Descent (2005) but for no reason. All these films are standalone and almost totally unrelated but this is even further from the first compared to the other sequels. It really has nothing to do with the leprechaun, no magic, almost no mythology, just a generic monster killing generic teenagers. Also 12 minutes of credits? Seriously? And for the record, it’s not an origin story. See more Craig W @CJWolfe27 Oct 16 I’d give this no stars if I could. The whole leprechaun/predator thing wasn’t working for me. Totally got away from the other movies in the franchise and there is no comedy in this which make the other films fun to watch. This movie is horrible. See more Jack K @Jack_K_7654 Aug 7 I couldn’t even get through half the movie it was that bad, the redesign for the leprechaun made no sense and it was just ugly, but maybe it would’ve made more sense if I finished the movie. See more thiago s @Thiagostone Jul 15 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas de terror são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Erik B Jul 7 A reboot of the corny Leprechaun series; this version is decidedly darker and more of a straight horror movie. Made-for-TV acting, but pretty decent action and gore. See more Read all reviews
