It is disappointing that the leprechaun is shown only in blurs and swirls, as the makeup is great. The rural set was well chosen, and the young actors did a respectable job. This could've been a nice little creature feature were it not for the ham-handed direction and, yes, the overused annoying Leprechaun-vision (geez, it's not Predator).

My remarks:

-I was intrigued at first by the origin story. The stones, the cave, the books,... Could have been great: old village, ancient evil,...

-Some things don't make sense:
-Leprechaun is angry over stolen gold so he needs human sacrifices until the debt is repaid?
-Leprechaun tries to sneak on people as they approach the house, at this time the sun is still up. After that the Leprechaun decides to wait till it's nighttime before he tries again.
-Dad guy mentions it came to the village in the past. Why didn't they just kill it? You'd think a group of men with shotguns would do the trick.
No, you'll need an American girl with a machete for that.
-About a dozen leprechauns are seen in the grass at the end.
Where were they during the rest of the movie?

I think they were trying to keep it more mysterious like in Alien.
You get a good view of the creature in the end.
Leprechaun-vision was dumb indeed.

Why would they need to keep it "mysterious" if there's been 6 movies before it?

I was excited to watch it after seeing that one movie poster featuring the creature's mug. ::big grin::

This flick does feature the most outrageous pre-kill line since that notorious "Cuz" line in Texas Chainsaw.

Because this movie has nothing to do with the others.

Ive just got this but now ive been put off! I'll still give it a watch though.

Hold on to your shamrock, there's a new unrelated leprechaun horror movie coming out called LEGEND.

There was talk about Vamprechaun or Vamprichaun with Warwick Davis.
Sounds so bad it has to be good.

http://bloody-disgusting.com/news/32...-by-a-vampire/

And as I was googling it, I found this:

Vampires vs. Leprechauns (2015)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2392449/

Could be fun too.

This idea is fail-proof. A vamprichaun that bites ankles instead of necks? I just fell out of my chair. ::big grin::
