Leprechaun
1992 · Directed by Mark Jones
Warwick Davis is a killer leprechaun in North Dakota. Jennifer Aniston's film debut. The pun count is criminal. The film knows what it is.
Why It's Cult
Leprechaun is the film where Jennifer Aniston paid her rent before Friends. Warwick Davis committed so hard he made the franchise possible. Six sequels followed, including Leprechaun in the Hood and Leprechaun in Space. A specific kind of video-store shelf anchor for a specific kind of cult fan.
The Plot, Officially
When Dan O'Grady returns to the U.S. after stealing some Irish leprechaun's pot of gold, he thinks he can settle down and enjoy his newfound wealth. He thought wrong. The leprechaun followed him and O'Grady barely gets away with his life, having locked the little monster in his basement. Ten years later, J.D. and his spoiled daughter Tory move in. By accident, the leprechaun is released and almost immediately the annoying creature starts to look for his gold, not displaying any respect for human life.
