You cant take a poor version of Descent-like creature n call it a Leprechaun. Wher is the hat, clothes, shining boots n above all the rhyming jokes?
N what's the obsession with the irritating roars/growls?
The film starts with the same ol stuff, a couple running away from something which makes irritating noise. The camera work is tedious n we dont get to c anything.
Cut the scene n we get to c highly educated tourists who r lured into the deeper woods by a local, claiming to show em some historical stuff.
Ther is some tension n gory stuff but the shaky cam stuff combined with the nite scenes n unnecessary loud noises as if some lame lion roaring, makes it an awful experience. This film ain't worthy of being called the origins of Leprechaun.
One scene is a bit reminiscent of Anthropophagus aka Grim Reaper n Cottage. We have one axe n another decapitation scene but still a lousy film.
The original Leprechaun's cinematography was top notch. It was set in the dry sunlight settings n even the nite scenes were well shot but in this case the scenes r short in the dark n the pov of the creature n its noise is very very irritating.
In fact the scene before the end credit with the growl sound is unendurable.
O boy, the end credit lasts for twelve mins with the cam jus lingering on farm tools n then zap, once again the horrible growl.
The first three parts of Leprechaun were awesome cos of the humor.
Ther was an ol fugazi leprechaun, whose balls were made of fine brass. So in stormy weather they'd clang together n sparks wud fly out of his ass.
Try as they will , try as they might, who cheats me with a fugazi Leprechaun won't live thru the nite.
Diddley diddley dee I'm a fake leprechaun me.
