This is the 1993 horror movie whose little Irish monster was frequently quoted by late-night talk show host Conan O'Brien: "I want me gold!" Sure you do, pal. Diminutive actor Warwick Davis (who played an Ewok in Return of the Jedi) plays a creepy, killer leprechaun wandering an American suburb in search of the gold stolen from him. Woe be to anyone who inadvertently gets in his way, including Tori (Jennifer Aniston) and her pals, who somehow have to get their hands on a four-leaf clover (what's wrong with a yellow moon or pink hearts?) to stop the dinky demon. Not exactly a promotional campaign from the Irish Tourist Board, Leprechaun is nevertheless good, silly fun. --Tom Keogh

 Gold Worth Killing For July 20, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Having been sealed for centuries, an evil leprechaun is unleashed. Setting a foot a campaign to regain all his 'lucky gold coins'. Easier said then done, his gold coins have been scattered a bit. In an act of revenge and remaining dormant for years this creepy little bugger is out to (oh my) kill!
Scare factors are low, but the eeriness lingers. Leprechaun makes for one scary looking slasher on the loose. Jennifer Aniston snagged a lead role in the film, only to have this be one of her more forgotten roles (typecast Friends anyone?!). The setting is a 'middle of nowhere' location, we've all been their. Creepy looking house in 'the middle of nowhere', with little to do and land that just grapples the surroundings.
One of the worst places to be with a killer on the prowl. The movie follows the slasher guidelines relatively well as it maintains the 'final girl'. The film depicts a father with two kids, a worker interested in the fathers daughter, and an autistic fellow who's child like nature causes more trouble then his innocence would seem to carry.
Overall what else can be said about the film? Not the greatest scare, a bit slow paced, the quality is a tad low, but it's still a cult classic. Leprechaun is a decent flick, I recommend finding it on your television or maybe a rental. If you are going to watch a slasher of a midget with light supernatural consistencies, I highly recommend the first two "Child's Play".
A Fun Watch May 19, 2008
This movie is much better than the Leprechaun films that were to follow. It's a bit campy, and at times just drags, as there isn't much room to run from a killer Leprechaun who has "trapped" the group of heros in a run-down 2 bedroom house in the outskirts. It's somewhat nonsensical when you come right down to it (instead of the trapped group using the Jeep that runs perfectly, they always head to the old heap of a truck that doesn't run most of the time), but if you love a happy ending, this is a great film.

All of you know out there that loyalty is an important thing. So, Sid had to stay true to his elf brethern and review Leprachaun. Unfortunately, while it definately had unintentional comedy, it falls short of that lofty praise.
It is the perfect template of a B movie. You have the star(Jennifer Aniston) who winces everytime she sees it on tv at 3 in the morning or when someone heckles her by brining it up(like Stallone with Death Race 2000). This begs an interesting question: will she turn B just like Sly? We, Sid the Elf say yes. She lost her man to a former Billy Bob doing-blood pendant wearing-brother frenching harlot. It can only get worse from there. You also had a plethera of "O, it's that guy" actors. You had Derrick Morris(Zack's daddy from Saved by the Bell), the fat guy from Pee-Wee's Big Adventure and Teen Wolf, Walter from Don't Tell Mom the Babysiter's Dead, and Larry from Summer School. I'm touched. Oh yeah, and the star of the show? An Elf. This guy made Sid a little mad the way he stole the jumping out of things and chasing people around move. But, we'll let it go for the greater good of B.
Since Sid always goes the extra mile, weather it be for the ladies or his valued readers, we found out that once upon a time Joe Bob showed Leprachaun on Monstervision. So, in honor of that, here go the drive-in totals:
1 impromptu eye transplant
1 bear-trapped leg
1 wheelchair chase scene featuring Sid's Irish cousin
1 green bleeding Leprachaun
38 bullets taken by Irish Sid
2 broken necks
1 purple sleevless shirt worn by male stripper Larry
13 examples of 80's fashion(pump sneakers, L.A. gear, and hand-print jeans)...
and... 1 naughty elf feeling Jennifer Aniston's leg. ENJOYING YOU CHRISTMAS PRESENTS BABY? SANTA TREATS EVERYBODY RIGHT! O BOY!
An enjoyable B movie August 1, 2007
This movie is enjoyable even though it is far from oscar-worthy. I would recommend steering of the other leprechaun movies. The fourth one being the worst of them all! The second one if I didn't know any better I'd think it was a quasiporno.
This one at least has a story worth seeing. Personally I think Leprechaun would have been better if they had actually researched Irish legends with some more imagination in the mix.
It's not Good but not's terrible either!
If you want to see any of the Leprechaun movies see this one and avoid the others.
