The seventh movie in the franchise was handed off to the WWE of all things, bringing us Leprechaun Origins. Dylan Postl, aka "Hornswoggle" would star as this new Leprechaun, in a dark and gritty re-imagining of the tale. And by re-imagining, I mean the director absolutely despised the Leprechaun series and set out to throw away anything that made the Leprechaun series "Leprechaun" and just make a horror movie.
The result, "Leprechaun Origins" is about as standard of a horror movie as you can get. Young adults end up in an old cabin in the woods, in the outskirts of a small rural village that harbors a dark secret. A monster stalks them, and picks them off one by one as they proceed to make a series of stupid decisions to keep the running time at least 90 minutes.
For the sake of branding, this creature is to be called a "leprechaun" and we're expected to pretend that it actually is one.
