I
 watched Leprechaun: Origins last night and it was in no way what I 
expected.   Not that it was any different than any other "group of friends
 stuck in a house while something tries to get them" movie.  It wasn't at all 
an origin story of the leprechaun Warwick Davis made famous. 
This 
little guy was a vicious little flesh eating Pumpkinhead lookin' thing. 
 I was expecting a murderous midget spitting dirty
 lymrics and "Give me back me gold!"    What I got was 4 friends trapped 
in a house by an Irish father and son trying to protect their village.   
Offering them up to the leprechaun as a sacrifice.  Gold is on this 
leprechaun's list but it ain't that high on it.   It more or less 
targeted the people wearing gold as victims using his 
leprechaun/predator vision.   Every shot from his pov is all yellowed out
 almost as if everything looked like gold to him.   So no sir, this 
wasn't my leprechaun movie.   It tries to be too straight forward while 
anyone watching a movie about a killer leprechaun should know better.
