Not even worth the time to watch. One of the worst movies I've seen and the makeup on the leprechaun is not even close. Just terrible.

This is the biggest slap to the face to leprechaun fans. I still think the Cabin Fever remake is the worse and this is second worse. It did take it seriously but still it sucks. The only one scene in the movie that made me think it's a leprechaun movie is the spine ripping. The director said he got that idea from Psycho? I don't remember Norman Bates rip any spine out INCLUDING THE REMAKE OF PSYCHO!!! The "leprechaun" is more like a predator and pumpkinhead then a leprechaun! The story is crap including everything else. The one cast member I like from the movie is Brendan Fletcher (he's from Freddy vs Jason). Honestly I like the poster (not with Hornswoggle face in it) it looks cool, better than the movie. This is the worst out of them all the Leprechaun movies. Don't watch this hot garbage, THIS MOVIE SUCKS!!!!!!!

This film must rank as one of the worst films of all time in any category. The story builds no suspense, defies logic and insults the viewer's intelligence.Acting is very one-dimensional, but then again you can't blame the poor actors, as I am sure they would be capable of more if they had proper direction.The leprechaun itself looks like a kind of zombie crossed with a gorilla, with one singular growling sound and a range of motions limited two seemingly wobbling left to right on the spot.To top off everything, the cinematography and lighting is absolutely cringe-worthily bad. There are so many instances of poor lighting and excruciatingly poor lens and setup choices that it becomes distracting to the movie itself.Stay away or watch it to learn how not to.

Director Zach Lipovsky has done some extraordinary work with this essential film in the Leprechaun Canon. Harris Wilkinson's brilliant screenplay adds a great deal of vital background information, explains unexplained motivations from previous cinematic entries, and ties up some troubling loose ends. Beautifully filmed and with a dark atmosphere of overwhelming fear and dread, this is the epitome of motion picture horror. The Leprechaun franchise has never been better served by any other effort since the original Leprechaun masterpiece of years ago. In honoring those origins while offering a bit of a fresh artistic vision to his film, Lipovsky has managed to not only pay tribute to what amounts to a cinema legend but even breathe new life into the mythology. No one who has followed the Leprechaun saga and even students of the series should be more than pleased with what Leprechaun: Origins achieves.
