Console best movie i've ever seen.

Griff Lees Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

minionking777 I felt so compelled to express my supreme disappointment and hatred of this horrible movie that I am writing my first review on IMDb. Not only does this movie have nothing to do with the franchise, it's not even a good stand alone horror. I love wonky horror movies, but this one is a truly boring, god awful piece of garbage that deserves to be tried for treason and sentenced to a long, torturous death. May ISIS behead the people responsible for producing this film and mispackaging it with the Leprechaun collection.There is no leprechaun. There is no origin. The title should have an asterisk, gigantic quotation marks around it, or an "lol" at the end.ZERO stars.

Robert W. Alright now before you come to my home with pitchforks hear me out. Its been a long time since I watched the Leprechaun Series but I loved it! It was one of the first horror series' I went through when I fell in love with the genre. It was always incredibly campy, cheesy fun and Warwick Davis was absolute perfection in the role because he was silly and ridiculous and yet completely deranged. Should this have been considered a reboot/remake? No. They could have called it "Dead Irish" or "Green Isle of Horror" and made it a whole new movie. It literally has nothing in spirit or otherwise to connect it to that series. So let it be. Pretend its just another silly slasher/monster flick with a low budget. When you consider that...I thought it was pretty good. It has that isolation of the cabin and the small village and the deranged townspeople and a secret they're all hiding. Its not silly or slapstick but dark and twisted and disturbing. I wouldn't say scary necessarily unless you're not used to horror films but the tone of the movie works for what it is. The cast is typical and the story predictable but what else would you expect from a horror film following the recipe we all know and love.I will start with the most mundane casting choice. Dylan Postl is a WWE wrestler (WWE produced this movie of course) and he is headlined all over this thing. I suppose he has his fans and WWE does as well so it makes sense but Postl playing the Leprechaun is like Tom Cruise playing a breeze in the wind. It could have been anyone. You don't hardly see the monster Leprechaun (a plus in my book but hated by many) and Postl might not have even shown up for all I know. You literally never see the guy. The cast of travelling twenty-somethings are decent if not typical in their various roles. Stephanie Bennett, Andrew Dunbar, Melissa Roxburgh and Brendan Fletcher all play their roles well enough although none of them particularly stand out. You sort of get the vibe that Roxburgh is supposed to be like the "scream queen" of the film but she never quite hits that high note unfortunately. Garry Chalk is very good (probably the best in the film) as the nice guy townsman who "helps" the kids and ends up being the bad guy himself. Chalk is more evil and a better villain than the mysterious Leprechaun. Teach Grant is also good as Chalk's son who reluctantly goes along with Dad's ways.Its just a cheap little monster flick. No better no worse. If you're going to try to analyze it and hold it up to the original Leprechaun series and hold a grudge for them not bringing back Warwick Davis then of course you won't like it. Regardless of what they say, this is not part of the Leprechaun series period. It has nothing to do with it and it isn't even close to the tone of those movies. It would be like saying Nightmare on Elm Street is a remake of Friday the 13th. Same genre...very different films. So don't go into it looking for another Leprechaun movie from that franchise. Zach Lipovsky comes from making a host of TV films so his style is pretty basic and cut to the chase and he makes the film move alone nicely and he does use the setting and isolation and darkness very well. I actually think them not showing the Leprechaun was ballsy. I mean if you build up to it and then disappoint completely when you finally show him (Mama anyone?) then people would complain. This way he remains dark twisted and a mystery. Its not a great movie, its just an okay time waster than won't challenge you at all but I was entertained and indie horror films can be really awful and I didn't think this was that bad at all. 7/10

sarahwess1596 DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME. Zach Lipovsky IS A MORONIC AND INCOMPETENT DIRECTOR as is the writer, Harris Wilkinson. I cannot believe anyone funded this garbage. You will be checking the time every 6 to 7 minutes to see how much more horribly directed crap you have to sit through.Characters fall over just from standing still, not tripping over anything, not running, they just fall down as if they have no balance (although they all trip while running too, and then act as if they are paralyzed from head to toe). When they get somewhere safe, the directors and writer have them go outside one by one to get killed for no reason, even though they were untouchable where they were. The director has them leave whatever weapons they have in hand when moving from one location to the next- they literally just set them down before they run. Without even shooting a round, characters always cock their guns whenever they point them at something as if there wasn't a round in the chamber the first fifty times; even the double barrels have a cocking sound effect added even though that's impossible. Shotguns hold as many rounds as a machine gun. When characters with machetes and axes are waiting for a guy they know has a gun to come through a door, they stand in front of the doorway on the opposite side of the room rather than next to the door off to the side (seriously writers and directors? How stupid are you to make such a weak movie). Everyone falls down and then dies, now you don't have to waste your time. Only good part is the the actors were great which is even worse because now their careers will be permanently sullied by this trash.

gavin6942 Two young couples backpacking through Ireland discover that one of Ireland's most famous legends (Dylan Postl) is a terrifying reality.Someone said this movie causes cancer. Now, that may be an exaggeration, but you know... as bad as the "Leprechaun" series is, this may be the new worst. Which is really saying something after the "In the Hood" entries.Here, with Warwick Davis missing, we get the the little bit of dark humor that was the series' saving grace removed. Why do we want a monstrous leprechaun rather than the silly one we have grown used to? Such a mistake.
