A Breathe of Fresh Air

IMO this may well be the best in the series. Most movies attempt to integrate humor and horror and end up a calamity while this one blends them very well. The film features Warwick Davis as the malevolent Leprechaun who stalks a group of friends from the inner city after stealing his gold. The actors do exemplorary jobs and there is enough blood and laughs to make it quite enjoyable. It is certainly a breathe of fresh air when put along the likes of Leprechaun 3 and 4. This Film also features Sticky Fingaz and Tangi Miller. Hesitance toward giving this film a chance is quite normal, but believe me it's worth it. Once in a while you find a straight-to-video gem, this is one of those times. If your a fan of Leprechaun, Check it out!
