Leprechaun 6 - Back 2 tha Hood

A very strange film. We get a really poor opening animation voice over as if it's Lord of the Rings legend or something. We then get a kind of fun opening battle, but also some confusing aspects, a woman in her mid 20s keeps going on about wanting to go to School? It's more coherent and fun in the first half than 5, but again offers some of the same awful editing, trying to trick you into thinking you've seen something you really haven't. The characters are more likeable than 5, the guy for instance with not much to offer but still a pretty happy optimistic view of himself nevertheless. Where is truly fails though is in the scenes with the fortune teller, any attempt to make you think the film is remotely exciting or scary utterly fails, the slasher stuff is so weak and done so much better in the 1970s and 1980s with an actual element of mystery and suspense. When a Stranger Calls or Black Christmas creating a real sense of menace and fear at times for instance. A Few special effects don't work and the kitchen scene with the fridge is truly terrible. Fight sequences are very routine and poor, all attempts the film makes to try and be serious utterly fail because the premise is so hard to take seriously. All in all the film is overall pretty desperate and badly done, they should have stuck to the earlier comical elements much more and just made the whole thing a farce.
