The thrill of Leprechaun today, I suppose, is seeing Jennifer Aniston in an early role in a cheesy horror movie. I'm no particular fan of hers, but even as spoiled brat with very thin motivations, your eyes go to her almost constantly (though maybe it's because you're distracted by her haircut changing scene-to-scene). I appreciate them trying to use leprechaun lore to motivate horror, but the truth of it is, the monster can't help but be silly even once the gore intensifies, so it's rather more silly than scary. With the child genius palling around with the comic relief idiot, you really do get the sense this is a kids' movie, pitched perhaps a bit lower than the PG-13 gore and cussing would indicate, but I can totally see bright 10-year-olds gleefully giving themselves a bit of a transgressive scare. For adults, it's not unentertaining - Warwick Davis is having fun with it at least - but you have to be in the mood for something goofy. 3 years 5 months ago
