Sixty-six years ago the town of Irish Channel in Louisiana was the site of a horrible massacre on St. Patricks Day. Some blame a terrible storm that blew through the town but those that were there dont speak of the truth. Due to petty superstitions St. Patricks Day festivities were banned for the last 66 years but now the new Mayor wants to tempt fate and celebrate.
Review
I was not expecting much from Leprechaun's Revenge its premise was somewhat hokey and also it was SyFy whose reputation for mostly awful movies is notorious. So I was surprised that Leprechaun's Revenge was reasonably watchable even if heavily flawed. What did I like about the film Well Leprechaun's Revenge did start off promisingly with some snappy dialogue and a good attempt at an atmosphere. The leprechaun compared to other SyFy creatures is pretty good used sparingly but this added to the sense of terror I felt and thankfully less cheaplooking than before. The killings are gory and fun while not being too goofy the camera work is wonderfully nightmarish and apart from Billy Zane who rambles his way through his role the acting is mostly above average. It is the second half though where the film goes off the boil with a more comic edge that jars with the rest of the film with the humour rather humourless the story less suspenseful and more ridiculous the characters stereotypical and while not irritating not very interesting all the same and the ending rushed and abrupt. On the whole better than most SyFy outings but the second half is a let down compared to the promise of the first. 510 Bethany Cox
