LEPRECHAUN Review On "Violent Maniac's Cage"

LEPRECHAUN

(1993, USA)

Warwick Davis has had a good career playing in such epic films as Return of the Jedi and Willow, yet he displays a real lack of taste in this dated slasher flik. Davis plays the little Irish Fairy who is after a group of people he thinks stole his pot-of-gold. Stealing from the likes of Freddy Krueger and Chuckie, we get a rather sad attempt to recreate an amusing bad guy the likes of Freddy. After 20 years of boring exploitation films you would think that a gimicky horror character would seem out of place after such wonderful horror fright films like Silence of the Lambs and Se7en. Not so, we get the same retread of sick jokes, gory deaths and silly over-age teens. The FX are the only real saving grace but FX cannot carry a film alone. Like a bad habit the producers have decided to curse us with not one but two sequels. What next, Rumplestiltskin...........oops, too late!
