A comedy that tries ever so hard to be funny but which fails at every step, LEPRECHAUN IN THE HOOD turns out to be way worse than the original, Jennifer Aniston-starring movie (I haven't as yet watched any of the movies in between, but on the strength of this I doubt I'll bother). It's a micro-budgeted attempt at crossing a traditional comedy horror with a blaxploitation movie, and it really is that bad.
Warwick Davis (who REALLY must have needed the money) returns to the fold as the Irish menace who sets his sight on some black rappers and gangsters. Ice-T is the only recognisable actor in the cast, and you wonder what bills HE needed to pay to be reduced to appearing in this. Everything about the film is horrible: the jokes fall flat, the performances are terrible, and by this stage there's no horror left in the premise. Just dodgy effects and dumb jokes, repeated for an hour and a half. Avoid it like the plague.
