LEPRECHAUN (1993)

Returning from Ireland to his North Dakota home, Dan O'Grady (Shay Duffin) claims he's captured a leprechaun and taken his pot of gold for his own. Though his wife (Pamela Mant) dismisses him, the leprechaun manages to escape, killing her and demanding his gold back from O'Grady. O'Grady manages to capture the leprechaun again, this time sealing him in crate using  a four leaf clover, but the leprechaun induces a stroke, stopping him before he can burn the creature to death. Ten years later, J.D. (John Sanderford) and his daughter Tory (Jennifer Aniston) move into O'Grady's home, encountering a trio of painters helping get the place in shape. The Leprechaun is released from his slumber once again and immediately goes on the hunt for his gold, which has been discovered by Alex (Robert Hy Gorman) and Ozzie (Mark Holton). The Leprechaun attacks the group, killing others who get in his way, until they discover his one weakness: Four leaf clovers. Arming one in his slingshot, Alex shoots a clover directly down the Leprechaun's throat, killing the Irish beast once and for all.

The first movie from Trimark Pictures to be theatrically released, Leprechaun brought to us one of the genre's most iconic characters... and also one of its goofiest. Right up there with Jack Frost and Turkie, the Leprechaun is a humorous monster whose amusing aspects far outweigh any fear he could potentially generate. The story by Mark Jones is serviceable enough - An ancient evil is awakened by our unsuspecting heroes, who must then undo what they’ve done - but it suffers from one major flaw: While an admittedly dangerous threat, the Leprechaun never feels scary at any point. This can't even be blamed on his size, as he's larger than Chucky, who felt very much like a legitimate, scary threat throughout Child's Play. The Leprechaun is simply never presented in even a semi serious manner, as there are plenty of scenes with Davis simply running around in full view of the camera, often times with the footage sped up for even further comedic effect. As such, the Leprechaun is entertaining to watch (Warwick Davis is clearly having a blast with the role, and was in fact responsible for most of the character's humor), but at no point does he ever feel like a scary movie monster.

Only further fueling this problem is that there are no definable rules to the Leprechaun; His powers, behavior, and weaknesses are all seemingly made up on the fly. He possesses the power to do whatever the plot requires of him - Firing magic from his hands, teleportation, imitating people's voices, ripping people's organs out for use in his own body... He can essentially do anything. Though it’s understandable that the Leprechaun would have so many magical powers, considering physical confrontation is not his forte. Each time the Leprechaun attempts to attack the heroes, they easily fend him off and beat him down with their fists, guns, and whatever else they have handy. It's nice at first, seeing the heroes not be helpless against the monster for a change, but soon every scene devolves into a little person smack down, which ranges from hilarious to tiring to watch after the umpteenth time. Then there are "the rules" mentioned earlier in the film (that are quickly forgotten about). O'Grady says he "caught" the Leprechaun and "forced" him to hand over his pot of gold, but this in no way lines up with the monster we see during the rest of the film. The Leprechaun we see in this movie would have laughed in the face of anyone who asked for his gold and then would have killed them for doing so.

The human characters are either obnoxious or forgettable. Of course, this movie is best known for its main actress, at it was the feature film debut of future Friends star Jennifer Aniston. Unfortunately, her character Tory is the clichéd fish out of water city girl who complains about every little aspect of life in the country, and she never evolves beyond this. She begins bitching the moment she appears on screen and doesn't stop, she just happens to redirect her complaining towards the Leprechaun and even Ozzie, who seems to be the only one who knows what he’s talking about half the time. Ken Olandt as our 'hero' Nathan is rather bland, not really accomplishing much at any point in the movie other than getting his leg caught in a bear trap. Mark Holton is alright as Ozzie, Nathan's mentally challenged assistant/partner who still believes in magic, fantasy, mythology, and the like. While nothing special, Ozzie is probably the most likeable character of the bunch simply by being the only one who's not a total jackass. Nathan and Ozzie's child partner Alex, played by Robert Gorman, does not fare as well, however. Alex is the "obnoxious child who thinks he's smarter than everyone else because he's rude and cynical" type, which can be amusing if written well, which unfortunately, Alex is not. All he does is spend the entire film yelling at and scolding and mocking Ozzie, even when it's uncalled for, making him an even more unlikable character than Tory. It’s almost made up for when Alex is given the best line of the film at the end, but not quite. Also, it’s never explained how Nathan, Ozzie, and Alex are all in business together. Are they friends? Siblings? Are they the bosses or do they work for someone else? It’s never said. John Sanderford as Tory's dad isn't even around long enough to leave an impression. He's bitten by the Leprechaun in the first act and is written out for the rest of the film, not even showing back up at the very end once the day is saved.

Despite the total lack of scares in this film, the Leprechaun and his over the top comedy-horror struck a chord with audiences. Warwick Davis would return as the diminutive demon five more times, taking the Irish evil from da' hood to the depths of space.
