Compared to the first two movies in the "Leprechaun" series, then part three is fairly tame and a step back horror-wise. The third installment of the series offers more of a comedy approach to the genre.
"Leprechaun 3" takes place in Las Vegas, where everything is golden, so it is right up the leprechaun's alley. So the setting itself was actually not a bad choice.
Again, as in the previous two movies, the leprechaun (played by Warwick Davis) is on a killing rampage and spewing rhyming obscenities. It does have its odd charm and works out well enough, despite it bordering on being downright annoying.
The lack of scares, horror and blood in this third movie is a step downward in the enjoyment for me. Don't get me wrong, "Leprechaun 3" is a nice movie, sort of a strange horror-comedy. If you watch this movie hoping it to be scary, then you are in for a disappointment.
Having seen it now, and having parts four and five next to me, I am starting to dread the direction the series have gone in. But still, I am sure I will give the remaining movies a go as well.
