    Storyline

    • Trivia
      According to Warwick Davis, There were many conflicts between the production and the distribution company Trimark Pictures. The production wanted to make a horror movie with many gore elements similar to the Friday the 13th saga or A Nightmare on Elm Street, while Trimark wanted something similar to Critters or Gremlins that were horror comedies suitable for all audiences, several versions of certain scenes and it was with editing that a mixed variety of gore and humor were added. the movie was originally planned as a straightforward horror film, but Davis sought to add more comedic elements. Mark Jones agreed with this tonal shift, and they shot it as a horror comedy. Several scenes had to be re-shot after the producers insisted that the film be made gorier to appeal to older audiences.

    Horror movie, not short on laughs!
    Other members of the IMDb may have rated this "1", and that's up to them, but I thought Leprechaun was a real fun horror movie.

    I have seen the other films in this series but the first was entertaining.

    Low on budget yes, but never boring and always whimsical. Warwick Davis, the small actor who plays the leprechaun, is very good in this role, as he is in all his movies.

    He may be lacking in height but not talent.

    A brilliant performance by him, and even Jennifer Aniston isn't that bad, and I usually find her a turn off in movies.

    Humour, horror, and lots of pace. I gave it 7 out of 10.
