If you weren’t sure where the line should be drawn when it comes to Hollywood’s fascination with reboots and remakes, Leprechaun: Origins has done you a favor and drawn it, clear as day, in the sand. On one side is the astounding awfulness that is Leprechaun: Origins and, on the other side, is everything else.
The original Leprechaun films are terrible too, but at least they were aware of their quality. Origins’ biggest offense is taking itself so seriously that it is unable to leverage its greatest asset: its ludicrous plot. We join two young couples backpacking across Ireland, where they intend to look at some historical landmarks in a small village. Unfortunately for them, the village has quite a bit of business going on underneath its skin… namely a leprechaun that comes hunting for his gold that the villagers pillaged. To atone for their mistakes and appease the leprechaun, the villagers have been luring “outsiders” to a remote cabin as a sacrifice to the creature.
