Every Leprechaun Movie Ranked, Worst To Best

The Leprechaun movies fit into a special niche in the horror genre where a movie can be both a ridiculous spectacle and a terrifying sight. Even under this consideration, the franchise’s many installments are all over the map in terms of quality. The Leprechaun movies are clearly not trying to do anything innovative or sophisticated, so many of the would-be criticisms seem redundant to point out. They’re all absurd horror films that take a rambunctious fairy tale creature and turn it into a murderous fiend trying to reclaim his gold. Extreme kills and Warwick Davis’ gleeful performance as the bloodthirsty Leprechaun helps the fun movies work far better than they should.
