Tell about... When Dan O'Grady returns to the U.S. after stealing some Irish leprechaun's pot of gold, he thinks he can settle down and enjoy his newfound wealth. He thought wrong. The leprechaun followed him and O'Grady barely gets away with his life, having locked the little monster in his basement. Ten years later, J.D. and his spoiled daughter Tory move in. By accident, the leprechaun is released and almost immediately the annoying creature starts to look for his gold, not displaying any respect for human life.

"Leprechaun" is a movie that has obtained, to me, fame of ridiculous, and i thought that it was because i see few parts but i don't remember much, and the sequels - well, although i have just seen the part 4, i think- are awful!. But, the original "Leprechaun" is not so bad as much say, actually, i think that it fulfills their made. Is wonderful, funny and sometimes scare... but more funny than anything.
This is another strange movie that we cant qualify in just one genre. There is another movie with this kind of characteristic, as "Critters" (Which, in spite of be wonderful and funny too, i think that don't have the same quality than "Leprechaun"). "Leprechaun" definitively has the intention of be a horror movie, but certainly, has too light funny touches, which we see in: Firs of all, the villain, the leprechaun. Second, the kind, not of irony but yes of silliness, that the movie treats. Of course is not a really serious movie, is just a PERFECT MIDNIGHT MOVIE, but, although that the movie makes us laugh, makes us pass a good time too. The story is about a leprechaun who loves gold, but its beloved treasure is steal for an old man. But the evil -lover of shoes- character going to find his gold, in anyway. But, the old man locked him in a box. 10 years before, in spite of an unoccupied house, the box is still there. A visitors come for the new house. Then appears a rainbow... but this time, the gold can be they curse. The cast is good, we can see to Warwick Davis (As the evil Leprechaun), Jennifer Aniston (In her first role! And, damn! No matter what other says, she is fantastic here), Ken Olandt, Mark Holton, Robert Hy Gorman, Shay Duffin and John Sanderford.
Mark Jones write and direct this rare horror funny fantasy, that have certain touch, certain -green- glitter that saves it. Of course that have "big" flaws, but i could not resist to give it a 10. Have rare scenes twist, certain illogical things, that makes me shave! Besides, when i found that Jennifer Aniston was here, i was more excited. The results were satisfactory, really satisfactory. Besides, Jennifer Aniston is amazing here, no matter what other says. Then, she ends her fight with the evil Leprechaun and go with her "Friends".**
I think that people can give a chance to "Leprechaun", of course is not a GREAT and MONUMENTAL picture, but is still funny, clever and great! A really recommended for anyone who wants fun, laughs, low funny scares and just a good movie.
**Actually, a lot of stars begin - and don't bad in it - in B movies: George Clooney in "Return to Horror High or its Spanish title "La Escuela del Terror" and "Return of the Killer Tomatoes". To Tom Hanks in "He Knows you're Alone" and even Fergie and Paul Walker in "The Monster in the closet" ... so, its not a bad thing.
*Sorry for the mistakes ... well, if there any.
