"Poor misguided Jacob. Even if you steal for God, you still have to pay the Devil!"

I have to admit, I am a fan of the Leprechaun movies. I am not sure if I am proud of that, or embarrassed. They have this sense of humor that I really appreciate. Plus, the kills are usually pretty innovative. This installment is no different. Let’s get it on!

This movie is actually a sequel within a series of sequels. It is the second sequel with a Hood theme. It was a good idea that brought life back into this series. I think this is actually part six overall. The premise of this movie is the same as it is for all of these movies. People keep stealing the Leprechaun's gold, and they keep getting killed for it. As a result, I won't really dwell on the storyline.

The killings in this movie are as good as any other Leprechaun movie. You have hearts being ripped out, legs being torn off, teeth being ripped out, and more. The special effects aren't bad. I'm sure budget was an issue. The violence and nudity are not big factors here, as this is more of a lighter horror flick and doesn't overindulge in such notions. I don't want to say comedy, but our lovable Leprechaun does like to get high and get it on with fat chicks! I'm not going to touch that one.

The acting for this movie is pretty decent. This is not a high budget flick. The storyline tends to get a little tired towards the end. I mean let's face it, somebody gets the gold, they get chased, they escape repeat. I found myself saying a couple times, "Just drop the fucking gold man!" The Leprechaun is a fairly reasonable guy. You will get punished for stealing his gold, but he can be negotiated with. They actually went into a little detail on the storied history of the Leprechauns, and their reasons for existence.

All in all, this was an average movie. It is inferior to Leprechaun in the Hood, which preceded it. One thing I did like is that the Leprechaun quit the whole rhyming couplets scheme. His rhymes were really starting to bug me with their cheesiness, and I am a cheesy mother fucker. If you can only pick up only one Leprechaun flick, pick Leprechaun in the Hood, or Leprechaun 4: In Space.

This movie was inspired by the fact that I officially worked on movie reviews more than homework this weekend. I need to get my shit together...
