Leprechaun: Origins

Leprechaun: Origins definitely doesn't belong to the films that should revive a series that has already faded for some. It's a film that is tragically boring and uninteresting in its execution. There's nothing here to enchant you about the series or why you should dedicate your time to it. If even older films are similar, it's quite striking that they've reached the seventh installment, but then again, in horror, nothing is impossible. (15.10.2016)

I don’t really know whose idea it was to remake or reboot an almost forgotten horror franchise, while at the same time piss off those few potential enthusiastic fans with the fact that “The” Leprechaun isn’t there, but whatever, I’ve no problem with that. The execution is fine, the clichés sometimes aren’t (the fake rescues, when a character gets into someone’s car, but that person actually works with the villain, I hate them), the leprechauns look like the mutants from The Descent, and it has a short enough run. As a forgettable creature feature of the week is alright. 5/10 (26.08.2014)
