The first in a surprising prolific franchise, 'Leprechaun ' stars Warwick Davis as the title character and he is fucking serious when it comes to his gold. A pre star Jennifer Aniston is famously in this, I thought she probably had a minor part that was pumped up in advertising subsequent to her becoming a star, however she is second billed behind Davis and is essentially the lead.
24 year old Aniston plays spoiled Cali girl Tory, reluctantly spending the summer in North Dakota at the run down house her father bought and is remodeling. It's the paint crew pops hired that end up aiding Tory in the fight against the Leprechaun, 10 years boxed up and pissed at the properties previous owner who stole and hid his gold. Said gold is found by 2 of the paint crew, a boy of about twelve and a mentally slow man of intellect less then 12, this paring reminded me of 'Critters'.
The film is not scary and parts of it play almost like a family adventure film. Warwick is committed however and seems to be having fun. Mostly the movie is kind of blah, nothing to write home to Ireland about. *1/2
