Tubi Thursday: The Leprechaun's Game (2020)

 It's all about the game and how ye play it.

It's St. Patrick's Day during Women's History Month, so how about a Leprechaun Film that was Directed by a Woman?  Sure!

In the Syfy Movie Opening (which at this point has turned into the DTV Horror Film Opening), two ladies are running from...someone who wants...something.

As it turns out, they got some gold from...

This Harpo-looking Leprechaun.

Note to Filmmakers- if we can see the neck, at least put make-up on it.
A touch of white powder on the neck makes this costume 10% less stupid and fake-looking.

The actual Plot involves a group of people- only 2 of which get real backstory- being hired to take some gold from a Leprechaun's stash (although the Film can't afford a Pot).

These aren't related to the same people from before (I don't think), so this Leprechaun is just plain bad at hiding his loot.

Guess what happens next...

The Leprechaun comes for them- and anyone that they happen to know or live with- and things don't look good.

Will anyone survive?  

Will at least this lady- who's also the Director- survive?

To find out, watch the Film (I guess).

It's been less than 24 hours- can I turn in this Game for at least Store Credit?  Yikes.

The Film isn't the worst thing out there, but it's very unimpressive.  You get such exciting locations as an empty Church, an empty Field, an empty Business Center and the same empty Garage twice.  Can the villain save this?

Yeah, you saw it.  That's a no.
Can the kills at least liven things up?  Eh...not much.  He mostly blows smoke and some sort of Jedi-like force powers to bend people around like that girl in the new Suspiria or just force people to put on a coat of 'burn' make-up.

The Leprechaun's Game looks like it was made for like $10,000 and has no real spark to make it seem more interesting.  The most interesting thing- the fact that their Leprechaun is played by a guy named Bao Tieu.

A pretty generic Horror Film with not much to recommend, other than the sheer sadness of the costume.  Naturally, they made a Sequel for me to cover next Year!
