    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.
