This wasn't bad, but it was hard to get into. The opening with the book was cool and I'd love to buy an actual copy of it, but aside from that this didn't have much to talk about for me. I will say that since Leprechaun in Space, I've been finding the Leprechaun easier to side with. Like, he doesn't really hurt anyone until his gold is stolen which I can't blame him for. Overall he's just applying justice where it's needed. The writing was okay but there was definitely something missing, I'm just not sure what. The atmosphere, once again, matched every scene the way I'd imagine they wanted it to.

The string of bad luck continues as the sixth film in the Leprechaun series & the last one to feature Warwick Davis felt like another tiresome rethread. The plot is mostly the same generic outline where the titular antagonist Lubgan (Warwick Davis) goes around killing people to reclaim his gold. Despite that it's a little less cringe worthy then the horny walking talking symbol of St. Patrick trying to bone somebody concept from 1994 movie 'Leprechaun 4' and 1997's flick 'Leprechaun 4: In Space'. I take this over that any day. Still the movie written and directed by Steven Ayromlooi doesn't add much of anything unique to stealing the pot concept. It sucks because 1995's film 'Leprechaun 3' & 2000 movie 'Leprechaun in the Hood' at least try to give new life to the franchise by introducing new urban locations and McGuffins such as the gold medallion that turn the walking talking symbol of St. Patrick Day into stone. Yet this movie abandoned that along with the talent given flute. For a flick that was billed as a sequel. It kinda of a sham there is no mention of those items nor the characters. Nevertheless, the movie should had been a prequel as it fit with the franchise's confusing timeline; regardless of this picture's billing number and under title. Yet again it might have been better if the same highly gimmicky settling was not undertaken at all even if this film used the hood location much better. Everything about this felt tiresome. To tell you the truth I kinda wish Lionsgate studio and the producers of this film went with their original choice of having the movie take place on a vacation island during Spring Break with Eartha Kitt as the fortune teller. Leprechaun's fairytale powers versus voodoo spells would had been more interesting and creative than we got here. Sadly, Lubgan barely use any of his unique magic besides that scene. Don't get me wrong he does jump around from place to place and use his healing factor. Yet the kills from him are not really that special. Most of the them are pretty standards with other cheaply below average badly made slasher films. The bloodless chokeholds and offscreen deaths to save money on effects like the jaw ripping moment was truly a letdown. Once in a while, the audience might be treated with a cheesy fake looking homage to the Friday the 13th movies with a visual heart or leg being rip out gore effect. However, the repetitive shots of the Leprechaun doing the gut stab really get annoying as the film goes on. The action scenes are disappointing unbalance as the Irish gnome's power level is all over the place. He has the power to rip body parts although struggles with a very thin woman on top of him. It's surreal that one four leaf clover could stop Lubgan in the first flick. Yet in this movie hollow point bullets full of them are powerfulness against him. While, the animation prologue in the beginning was well made, the film doesn't stick to the lore that the previous films and themselves established. How to kill the Leprechaun was all mess up. To add onto that, nothing against Warwick Davis's acting, but his performance here is weakest in the franchise. His character didn't have much cool rhythm or clever funny one-liners. Most of the dialogue is repetitive broken record whinny. The filmmakers pretty much wasted his talent here. Despite that the makeup effects for the creature were still top notch. Plus, the new wardrobe for Lubgan look pretty awesome with the gothic demonic style. As for the human characters; most of the victims were unlikeable one dimensional near offensive stereotypes not worth seeing. All of the silly street jargon and slangs were hard to listen to. Yet witnessing them die was somewhat of a joy. Kinda wish they add the forced unfunny comedy relief Jamie Davis (Page Kennedy) and horrible boyfriend material Rory Jackson (Laz Alonso) to the mix. If anything, I wouldn't mind the whole idea of Emily Woodrow (Tangi Miller) being the final girl. I would rather see her run off by herself in the sunset off to college rather than the horrible motorcycle riding with her abusive lover that we got. Hate that her schooling subplot dreams went nowhere. To add onto that, the terrible music that doesn't fit the mood of what is happening on scene. It's so jarring much in the same way Jamie is out of jailtime without any explaining. I hate that Steven Ayromlooi over exposition certain moments of the film like where the creature came from, yet leave other plot holes a mystery. It's bad writing. To make it worst, all the horrible editing makes the film really hard to figure out what is a flashback, dream or present. The comic page lift wipes effect that went along with most of the end of the cuts made it more confusing. Are we in a story within the story!? Who knows! Overall: These movies always struck me as a poor's man parody of the horror genre rather than a serious attempt at being a legit comedic horror film. They hardly laughable. If anything, they make me feel green around the gills. I think I'm going to toss this movie like a hot potato in the trash. After all, Lep in the Hood, come to do no good. That's true indeed.

Wow. OK, African-Americans in the united states have invented or contributed to some of the most creative and profound art in the history of mankind (Jazz for example). But why on earth would anyone, of any color for that manner, want to be involved in an incredibly steaming pile of crap like this? I think the producers of Leprechaun ran out of ideas (not that were many great ideas rolling out of these masterminds to begin with), and decided to tap into a different market than just stupid white people from the suburbs watching bad movies like this. There are a few entertaingly bad scenes, like at the party, especially when mr. Leprechaun is on screen, but when he's not I suggest you hit your self in the head with a hammer for awhile, as that would actually be more enjoyable than watching this crap.

Thought the last movie in this series was bad, this goes worse & more stupid!! You actually find yourself pulling for the little Lep to whip the cast out!! Here are some of the problems with this, the cussing is completely uncalled for!! You don't hear this kind of cussing in the first few movies combined!! The pot again!! It's not funny to see an evil leprechaun high, it just shows the lack of imagination of any kind from the writers!! The cops being bad cops!! That's been old for 20 years now!! Putting wax on the cartridges!! They would jam in the gun right off!! Changing the clothes of the leprechaun was silly!! The "magic" lady was the stupid icing on the cake!! Has to be one of the worst ending ever!!! Don't watch this garbage!! I wish I could forget this and the one before it!!

Well, I'm going to say that this was the worst movie I've seen for Direct To Video Month. I skipped the previous one where he went to the hood first, but I don't care in the slightest. This movie features people in the ghetto finding the leprechaun's gold and he horribly kills them one by one. What makes this movie so stupid is that nothing in it makes any sense. We get a lot of scenes in the beginning that just focus on the human characters and it's all pointless. It's said that the leprechaun's weaknesses are his gold and four leaf clovers. They do in fact use a four leaf clover against him and nothing happens.

Well, he gets shot by them but the bullets float out of his body like little yellow orbs. What? At one scene near the end, the leprechaun's gold is thrown into a furnace which should kill him, but for some reason it doesn't? We see the leprechaun melt and then he's back to normal. His gold should have been destroyed, but it's okay too. The leprechaun's chest of gold has this new ability. Whenever it's emptied, it magically refills. Why than, is the leprechaun afraid when people throw the gold coins out? It can just replenish them.

I couldn't understand anything in this dumb movie. The leprechaun gives off more gory deaths including a police officer whose leg is ripped off and he doesn't even notice it at first. He also literally rips a girl's upper jaw off. Nice, huh? I admit it did kind of make me laugh with how stupid it was, particularly with how the leprechaun was shot over and over and never died. There's this psychic who tries fighting the leprechaun even though she knows she can't. I understood nothing and didn't want to. *

Finally, there is a good Leprechaun movie out there. Back 2 tha Hood is much superior to the entire rest of the line, combined. The kills are convincing, the Leprechaun makeup is much better, the camp is all but gone, and it almost... almost...acts like a real horror attempt.

I don't know about anyone else, but I watch these movies for Warwick Davis. He's the man! And while this was a much better finished product, there just was not enough of the man in this movie. Perhaps he was busy with Harry Potter 2. But at any rate, he didn't get enough screen time to suit me.

At least it seems like someone is trying a little harder with these movies. Since this was straight to video, I have no idea what the budget was; whether it increased or decreased, but it appears to have improved. At least, the execution has.

I'm tentatively anticipating a 7th installment. I rate it higher than most critics simply because this time, they tried.

It rates a 5.8/10 from...

the Fiend :.

Why ?! I can ask it too many times to the film studios but why did even make a 6th one ? And also one who is almost a copy of the previous one. I would have understand that decision if the 5th one was a success, but it was terrible. And this one was, if possible, more terrible than the last one.

What can you further about the last part of this terrible franchise. The storyline was again a huge fail. The leprechaun has a few moment and is defeated again so easily, they can blow him of the roof without having any difficulties with killing it.

The acting was to laugh about as well so I rate this film 1/10
