Leprechaun (1993) by Mark Jones
"I Want Me Gold, NOOOOOOOOW!!!!"
A couple of days or so, too late but I quite enjoyed most of this horror/comedy which incredibly enough had 5 or 6 sequels following and in one of them, I think the little green bastard is even flying out to space in search of other miserable people he can torture and kill.
Anyway, I had not seen it since 2012 and was kind of curious if it had held up as "good" as I kind of hoped for, specially after seeing the poor but somewhat still enjoyable Leprchechaun in da Hood movies not that long ago.
The film have a feel to it which reminds me of some of the Critters movies, silly and goofy but decent enough as late night entertainment.
Of course, it do help very much having a fine as they come 23-24 year old Jennifer Aniston in the lead and once again she portrays the spoilt rotten L.A. valley teenage girl part very well, and was only a year or so away of breaking it big with the role of Rachel Green in Friends.
Here however I found it quite "hard" to believe how she almost instantly fell head over heel for some random bloke, still it is really not much to nitpick about, it is a very light hearted movie and story.
The rest of the cast is an annoying kid and his mumbling "sidekick", the dad figure somehow disappears shortly after arriving and I never sensed that there was much of a great chemistry between the main gang, so there was not many to cheer for, in fact the main star and the reason to why this film works so well is down to Warwick Davis in the hilarious part as the irish "Weee" little fella who only wants his gold coins back, the Leprechaun and almost every line he utters is actually not that far off being comedy "gold".
While not a great film, I was still entertained and my interest of seeing a few of the other in the series just grew a little, so hopefully I might get to do so in the near future.
It is not far off films such as Ghoulies, Troll 1 and 2 and I also had fond memories of another Mark Jones horror comedy which also starred another nasty little wee fella with the name of Rumpelstiltskin that came out a few years later, but have not seen it for some time and maybe I will do something about it sooner or later as I remember it to be quite a ride.
5,5/10
