LEPRECHAUN BACK 2 THA HOOD (DVD)

By Eric Campos | December 19, 2003

Alright, I’m not falling for this bullshit again. When the original “Leprechaun in tha Hood” came around, I was thrilled. I’ve never really been into the “Leprechaun” series of films, but if any of them were going to be worth watching it was going to be the one where our evil little friend pays a visit the tha fuckin’ hood. Boy was I wrong. So with this second visit to tha hood, being a little more skeptical this time around, I figured maybe lessons were learned with the first film and that this one would be all ironed out. Wrong. “Leprechaun Back 2 tha Hood” is an even worse piece of horseshit than the original. That’s twice I’ve been f****d and I’ll be damned if I’m going for thirds.
So what’s the major problem with these movies? Okay, you’re making a movie called “Leprechaun in tha Hood.” That title alone dictates the tone of your film. Nobody is going to be expecting a serious movie with a title like that, much less a scary one, so why make a serious movie? Why not just go for it and make the most ridiculous film you can dream up? The possibilities are endless. You have a movie called “Leprechaun in the Hood” and you have no boundaries. Yet, both “Lep in the Hood” flicks are made like real movies with real characters and real problems and real BULLSHIT! They’re made like they’re supposed to be taken seriously. These films could’ve been outrageously fun cult classics. Instead their gutless turds.
There’s no need to describe the goings on in “Leprechaun Back 2 tha Hood.” Just know that it’s a complete waste of space.
