\"leprechaun\"Leprechaun<\/strong><\/span> (1993 – Rated R in the US for horror, violence and a foul-mouthed Professor Flitwick)<\/span><\/p>\n

Summary (from IMDB):<\/span><\/p>\n

When Dan O’Grady returns to the U.S. after stealing some Irish leprechaun’s pot of gold, he thinks he can settle down and enjoy his newfound wealth. He thought wrong. The leprechaun followed him and O’Grady barely gets away with his life, having locked the little monster in his basement. Ten years later, J.D. and his spoiled daughter Tory move in. By accident, the leprechaun is released and almost immediately the annoying creature starts to look for his gold, not displaying any respect for human life.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"leprechaun3\"<\/span><\/p>\n

RBWood’s Rating (Out of Five): 1 annoying “Willow”<\/span><\/p>\n

Look, I had to review this, okay?  My wife has a connection Mark Jones who directed and wrote this travest…awesome piece…of cinematic…glory…oh, shit.  It’s better than the sequels.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Leprachan2\"The novalty factor comes into play as this was Jennifer Aniston’s first movie role (pre nose job).  Prior to this, she had been in the classic Ferris Bueller TV series.  Remember that?  Me either.<\/span><\/p>\n

It works as a B-movie slasher (the genre was really dead by the early ninties) and does have a few laugh out loud moments.  Warwick Davis does the best he can with the material as the The Irish gold digger, but it’s more along the lines of some of the SyFy horror tele-movies such as Ice Spiders<\/em> or the Debbie Gibson blockbuster Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus. <\/em>If you actually decide to watch this, then go in with the bar set very low.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tomorrow: …and then the knife whistling past her ear…<\/span><\/p>\n
