Leprechaun: The Beginning

When I sat down to the watch the 2025 horror movie "Leprechaun: The Beginning", I figured that the movie would be tied in with the "Leprechaun" franchise that had Warwick Davis in the role of the leprechaun. Alas, "Leprechaun: The Beginning" had nothing to do with that franchise. And the glorious 2.7 rating that the movie had snagged, when I sat down to watch it, definitely served as a warning sign of the level of entertainment this movie would prove to be.

The storyline in "Leprechaun: The Beginning", as written by Alessandro Di Giuseppe put together a script and storyline that, while being pretty straightforward, just simply was too generic.

I was not familiar with a single actor or actress on the cast list, and that was actually the best thing about the ordeal that is "Leprechaun: The Beginning". I do enjoy watching new and unfamiliar talents on the screen. The acting performances in the movie were a mixed bag of nuts; some of the performances were okay, while others were wooden and lifeless.

The first time you see the leprechaun pretty much set the bar of the movie extremely low, because they had painted the face and part of the neck greenish, but forgotten about the rest of the neck and the hands, which were the actor's own skin tone. It was just such a horrible mistake to make.

The movie's cover was actually the best thing about the entire ordeal.

This is definitely not a movie that I would recommend you to waste 87 minutes of your life on. Some of us virtually suffered through this, so you don't have to; you're quite welcome.

My rating of director Rahul Gandhi's 2025 movie "Leprechaun: The Beginning" lands on a generous two out of ten stars.

Every aspect is trash the acting the writing the design everything. The movie had to have a budget of 5k . Everyone in the film is awful and beyond poorly acted including the three teenage daughters who were in their late 20s early 30s . The actual design of the leprechaun is beyond awful and his acting is trash . The leprechaun looks like a Mardi gras costume party reject . The kills are so awful there's more convincing effects at Halloween spirit stores. This is not funny bad just miserable bad . There is a scene where the leprechauns make up is falling off his face and the accent wtf, why does he sound middle Eastern?. Not just a bad horror film but truly terrible overall. How was this greenlit?

I would rather chew glass, step on 800 nails, and pour bleach into my eye sockets than EVER watch this movie again. I've truly seen better acting at a 3 year olds school play. This movie was so awful I'd say it's one of the most disappointing and tragic events since 9/11. This movie left me with several questions he bit a girls neck and she just died? He didn't even bite it hard and she just died. He's not a vampire just a sad excuse of a leprechaun he looked more like yoda on crack. Genuinely save your time and watch paint dry.

If so they all past with flying colours, im shocked the budget allowed them to film at a mansion. I guess thats why they used family and passers by to have a part. Forgetting this would have been part of an awful series, its even to bad for that. I mean, just walk down a road and shove a script in someones hands and say camera , go... its that bad.

First off, you need to have a certain personality to love b-rate schlock. It let's you pass things off and find them as entertaining and charming. This movie, however, cuts every corner they could. The makeup artist should be ashamed of themselves for even allowing that abomination to be shown on screen. The script should've been burned. I can't believe people actually auditioned to be in this slop. The acting was actually just fine, but I feel bad for them having to work with this script. The dialogue at least had good enough sound quality to it. Also, don't expect literally anything to happen for 30 minutes and at least they finally gave the leprechaun gloves after the initial first scene. Genius stuff there guys.
