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.
