    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      According to Warwick Davis, the movie was originally planned as a straightforward horror film, but Davis sought to add more comedic elements. Mark Jones agreed with this tonal shift, and they shot it as a horror comedy. Several scenes had to be re-shot after the producers insisted that the film be made gorier to appeal to older audiences.
    • Goofs
      When the leprechaun climbs down the chimney and Nathan shoots him, he falls near the other room. A shot from above shows him in the middle of the room.

    Horror movie, not short on laughs!
    Other members of the IMDb may have rated this "1", and that's up to them, but I thought Leprechaun was a real fun horror movie.

    I have seen the other films in this series but the first was entertaining.

    Low on budget yes, but never boring and always whimsical. Warwick Davis, the small actor who plays the leprechaun, is very good in this role, as he is in all his movies.

    He may be lacking in height but not talent.

    A brilliant performance by him, and even Jennifer Aniston isn't that bad, and I usually find her a turn off in movies.

    Humour, horror, and lots of pace. I gave it 7 out of 10.
