REALLY FUNNY November 4, 2007
stuart (MIDDLESBROUGH, ENGLAND)
The last person who has the Leprechaun's (Warwick Davis) gold, sends him back to hell. The spot where he sends him back to hell was destined to be a Youth Center, but a year later has become the ghetto's worst neighborhood. Revealed to a Fortune Teller, a young woman, Emily (Tangy Miller) and her friend Lisa (Sherrie Jackson) learn that they will get a great fortune soon, but that it will come with a terrible price. Having a picnic in the park, Emily stumbles upon the spot of the Leprechaun's collection of gold pieces. After splitting up the money, Emily and Lisa use the money to help their careers, while there two friends Rory (Laz Alonso) and Jamie (Page Kennedy) use the money to party. He returns and begins to lay a path of destruction in the ghetto, killing anyone who interrupts his search for the coins. Emily learns that her friend has special clover that will stop the Leprechaun's rampage and goes off looking for him finally settling the score once and for all.
The Good News: This has to be the funniest of the movies. I think it is also the funniest horror film of all time. I haven't laughed at a horror film as hard as I have at this movie. This has the funniest lines in the whole series, but I can't really say them here for one reason: censoring the language for the quote would render their hilarity to near uselessness. It didn't bother me that there was a lot of language, but the funny jokes well make up for it. There was also a great scene with the Leprechaun stoned and wandering around a kitchen getting hit with everything that the equally stoned and oblivious character doesn't know about. There was a lot more slapstick humor in the film, and it has to be the greatest horror comedy. The Leprechaun's attacks are pretty gory. It's been a long time since I've seen a good leg amputation, and fortunately, this film provides it. It does it as one of the best scenes in the movie, as a cop is fighting the Leprechaun and goes to kick him. The Leprechaun blocks it and throws him up against the squad car, then he looks down and sees a big pile of blood on the ground directly under him. He looks and notices that his leg is missing. He then cut away to reveal that the Leprechaun has his leg. This is a classic scene that will mark one of the many highlights of the film series. There are several other great attacks of the Leprechaun, but they can't be revealed. He does have some gory tricks up his sleeve, and their execution in the film is flawless. They look realistic, which isn't something that can be said for the other films in the series. Besides the leg amputation, we also get a few brutal stabbing, a good impaling, and one cool slashed throat. Granted, this isn't a Jason movie, where everyone is dispatched in a different way, but that more than satisfied me for this type of slasher. The gunfight in the film is also really impressive, as gang members unload countless rounds of ammunition at the three-foot leprechaun, then he miraculously gets up and slaughters the gang. That will go down for me as the best scene in the film.
The Bad News: This does take a while to really get going, and the first half-hour will make you wonder if the film is actually "Leprechaun 6," or an African-American urban drama. There is no real connection made to say that it is a "Leprechaun" film other than the opening scene, but stick with it, as it remedies the situation quite rapidly.
The Final Verdict: A slow-moving opening scene really doesn't take away from the fact that this is one of the true original entries in the series. It is also the funniest one, but be forewarned that it may not be funny to everyone. Some of the humor is really out there. Deserves a look by fans of the series, as well as people interested in seeing African-American's in horror films and horror-comedy fans.
