Leprechaun : origins tells the story of four American college students who get stuck in the woods of Ireland with a nasty Leprechaun who isn't trying to sell you lucky charms. Being a huge WWE and horror movie fan i was immediately intrigued by this film however i was never a big fan of the original leprechaun films. You could also say that i haven't been a big fan of any of wwe studios films other than the first marine and see no evil but i can say if your looking for a decent horror flick to watch late at night this is the movie for you it's fast paced and for the most part enjoyable with a clever plot twist which if your an average film goer you may not notice at first. The acting performances are not great but good enough for a direct to DVD film like this and i can say that WWE superstar Hornswoggle is completely unrecognizable in the role of the leprechaun. If your a fan of the original leprechaun films though you may be disappointed that this isn't the comedic leprechaun but rather a dark monster who terrorizes villages and brutally eats people. Some gripes i have though are the scenes in which the college students battle the leprechaun as the shaky cam is at points a consistent thing that you notice and there is never a clear look at the leprechaun its either shown from a blurry vision or a predator style like point of view shot which is clever for this film but does come off as a bit of a rip off though. Another problem is the runtime its only 75 minutes and the end credits take up 15 minutes of the film. i must say though that leprechaun : origins is a enjoyable horror rental which is one of the better horror films of 2014 and one of the best wwe studios productions to date . Overall i'm giving this film a 7 out of 10 HOPE YOU ENJOY THE FILM!!!
