Goodbye For Now But Not Forever

Not any of the Leprechaun sequels?

Or Disney channel's Luck of the Irish?

Or The Hallow, Shrooms, and a pretty good low budget Irish haunted house film I watched a few years ago but can't for the life of me remember what it was called.

I thought it was pretty terrible. There was also another rip off of the same kinda thing called Red Clover.

The 'official' sorta reboot/sequel thing they did (albeit without Warwick Davis) in the vain Halloween 2018 (though they couldn't get their famous leading lady to come back in this case) was called Leprechaun Returns, and for how cheap and amateurish it was the movie ended being a fair bit of fun. And the new guy, while not as good as Warwick, does a fairly decent job.

Maybe that's what the idiots who made the movie thought that Americans think of the Irish. But we've seen the other movies like Grabbers that confirm that they're all a bunch of charming drunks in small seaside towns.

I really liked that film. It sure does play up on that small seaside town charming drunk stereotype, so I could see why some Irish folk roll their eyes at it, but I think it's a strong piece of work and Brendan Gleeson is excellent as always. Not sure the mystery of it is entirely mysterious, but I like the way it played out and I think the approach works. It also sort of breaks the rules of screenwriting in a way by presenting the central dilemma before properly introducing the characters, which is something I appreciated. I thought of The Proposition in that aspect as well.

Shocking that you expanded beyond the horror realm or Air Bud franchise, so that's nice to see.

It also has a very conflicted view of the church, and I imagine that's tough for some church folk.

It’s not goodbye if he never leaves.
