Holiday Tubi: The Leprechaun's Curse (2021)

 Another year and another Leprechaun Film.

Instead of going for that already-forgotten 'legacy Sequel' to the original 1993 Leprechaun Film, let's check out the Sequel to last year's Review.

Yet again, I can double dip, as the Director is the same woman as last time.

A man comes home and finds nobody around...and feels strange.

Time to get out...with your bag of gold.
Sure enough, the Leprechaun is after him.

It pads out the runtime...I mean, sneakily stalks him until killing him in the pool by...I think...filling his body with gold so he can't float.

It was done better in Leprechaun 2 with the whole pot of gold.
As it turns out, he was the Stepbrother to this lady and now she inherited his Estate.

She takes her boyfriend, her friends and her Mother to the place.

It all seems fine, until they find a threatening note calling them 'teefs' (which is funny to hear the Actor say in his fake Irish accent).

He also took pictures of them, but a) when and b) with what camera?
Like those rage ghosts in Japan, he just kind of hangs around and kill anybody he feels slighted him by 'stealing his gold.'

This one lady- who we just met- picks up 2 pieces of gold just lying on a counter and he immediately kills her, even after she throws it down.

Fun.
Our lady director- playing a lady with the same first name as the last Film, but I don't think it's supposed to be the same Character- shows up a few times and then gets killed by the Leprechaun.

This is the kind of Film that *talks* about killing a kid... but won't actually do it.

To find out what happens, stream the Film now.
It's...not any better than the last one, really.  It's more of the same, which is what you get when you bring the same Lead, Director and one of the two Writers (who is also the Director).

I'm not 100% sure, but that House looked awfully familiar as well.

The Plot is just a different version of the same thing- people get gold and Leprechaun kills them over it.  The setup is different, of course, in that our Heroes/Heroines don't actually look for the gold.
Like I said earlier, it feels like one of those rage ghost films like The Grudge, since he just kills you for something you didn't actually do.

For context, he makes the guy drop 2 pieces of gold in the pool, doesn't retrieve them and then targets everyone in the Pool (or proximity) that then finds said pieces of gold!

Seriously, just pick it up yourself!

It's not the worst Film you'll see, but it is just devoid of joy.  To get me to watch more from this Director, you may have to resort to more drastic means...
May your day be more fun that watching this one turned out to be. Slainte everyone!
