Unsurprisingly, Leprechaun 2 garnered a frightful 6% approval rating on the esteemed review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, according to 17 reviews. Truly a must-see for any horror aficionado. Thomas of the Los Angeles Times has proclaimed that this film boasts superior writing, production values, acting, and humor compared to its predecessor. TV Guide has proclaimed that the film is a step up from its forerunner, but it remains cynically contrived even by the most schlocky of horror standards. As a horror movie aficionado, I must say that Marc Savlov's critique of the film being a mere rehash of the original is spot on.
In a spine-tingling interview with Fangoria, Warwick Davis revealed the motivation behind a potential Leprechaun sequel, stating that "Money's definitely the answer". The chilling implication being that the insatiable desire for riches could drive the titular villain to new heights of terror. This spine-chilling masterpiece served as the catalyst for the establishment of the bone-chilling Dearly Departed Tours in the City of Angels back in 2005.
The Leprechaun is no Freddy Krueger (A Nightmare on Elm Street), and while it may not quite measure up to the original Leprechaun (1992), I still found myself thoroughly enjoying Leprechaun 2.
