Mark H. Harris Black Horror Movies [T]his is above average for a direct-to-video
urban horror film, with decent acting and makeup and the type of sense of humor
that's necessary in a film called Leprechaun in the Hood. Rated: 2.5/5 •  Jan 6,
2020 Full Review Daniel Barnes Dare Daniel An utterly incompetent series of
cheap laughs, cheaper production values and cheapest Coolio cameos, Leprechaun
in the Hood is more "pot o' mold" than "pot o' gold." Rated: 1/5 •  Mar 12, 2019
Full Review Brandon Collins Medium Popcorn Probably the worst movie I have ever
seen, in my whole 32 years of life. Rated: 1/5 •  Oct 17, 2018 Full Review
Justin Brown Medium Popcorn Horrendous. Bad, bad, bad. Rated: 1/5 •  Oct 17,
2018 Full Review Tim Brayton Antagony & Ecstasy It's not a very good film in any
way, but it manages to be average, and that alone makes it a franchise standout.

2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/16/23 Full Review Ariah I Leprechaun in
the Hood is about three young rappers trying to pursue a successful career in
the music industry. They need money to buy some music equipment, so they try to
get a local pimp named Mack Daddy to help them out, but he declines leaving the
three rappers dissatisfied. So, they form a plan to rob Mack Daddy to be able to
buy their music equipment. During the process they steal a medallion from a
statue, among many other pieces of gold and jewelry. The three young rappers are
unaware that when they took the medallion off the statue, it later became a
leprechaun. The leprechaun goes on a killing spree looking for its gold while
the rappers unknowingly continue to their music careers. This is an interesting
plot that will keep you on the edge of your seat waiting to see when the
leprechaun finally encounters the rappers that stole from him. I was surprised
at the fate of certain characters because of the timing. Just when you think
everything is over there is a twist. As I have said before, this movie is a
comedy slasher film, and for a comedy to be funny, the actors must be natural
and know what they are doing. Butch's actor does an excellent job at being
committed to his role. He embodies the characteristic of being the oblivious and
dumb one in the group and to pull it all together he makes the appropriate
facial expressions that emphasize the humor of his character. Another element
that complements the film is the costume design, especially for the leprechaun.
The leprechaun's makeup is very well done. The makeup is done in a way to make
the leprechaun look scarier to emphasize the horror elements in the film. In
addition, the clothing is realistic and well-made. While the acting is great,
and costume design is nicely done, the special effects are sloppy and look very
fake. For example, there is a point in the movie where a random character gets
electrocuted by the leprechaun. When the person gets electrocuted, there were
these green lines that looked like they were drawn on the body and eyes. It was
an unrealistic depiction of someone being electrocuted but it also adds to the
comedy aspect of the film in a way because it was so obvious and fake that it
made the scene funny. There is also a part where someone gets shot and it leaves
a big gaping hole in their stomach. The special effects on the stomach also
looked fake, but that could please people who do not like to see blood and gore.
Overall, what worked well for me was the silliness of the film and the comedic
aspects that the actors added to the film. What did not work well for me was the
lack of background detail given about the leprechaun. The movie does not explain
why the medallion can turn the leprechaun into a statue. It also leaves the
audience questioning the past of the leprechaun and where it came from. I would
recommend this movie to people who just want to be entertained and would like to
watch a silly movie that will make them laugh. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would
rate this movie a 7. Although this movie has received low reviews, it is still a
fun movie that will make you laugh. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars
