Leprechaun 4: In Space (1997)

Waste of time

A Masterpiece!

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Ahh, when I clicked on this movie I knew it would be full of horrible reviews by people who try to take the movie too seriously. I mean it even has comedy in the description. I've seen people talking about bad special effects. Seriously? You're watching this movie for the special effects? If you're a fan of the Leprechaun movies you're going to like them silly as some of them are. Just about ALL horror movies are lucky if they have over a 6 rating because only certain people appreciate them. This movie did all I need a movie to do. Entertain me, give a tiny bit of suspense and make me laugh. Given that Warwick didn't have as many clever one liners in this one, but still an enjoyable movie.If you're a die hard or even a casual horror fan, it is worth watching.

After watching the first two Lep sequels, I was very excited to see what Leprechaun 4 in Space could offer. Sadly, it doesn't do much for me. On the bright side, it has some good gags, Warwick Davis as the Leprchaun was still good and plot actually sounded good.To me, this film wasn't at all put to good use. I think setting it in Space was the biggest problem. Saying this in short, Horror Icons do not work in a Space setting. They've tried it here, and it didn't work. Jason X was also a flop. Trying to put a killer from the woods in space just doesn't work. It doesn't work for the Leprechaun. He was fine roaming around and killing people in normal, looking towns.The real positive I can give was the first 30 minutes of the film. That surprisingly impressed me before the Leprechaun came back to life, through this guy's pants! After that the film just got really redundant and silly! I think that Leprechaun 4 isn't as bad as Lep back to tha hood, but it's still ridiculous and Marjory falls from it's predecessors.It's a 5/10

It seems that most film franchises eventually have an episode where they go into outer space. Hollywood is driven by money, so I am guessing that someone has observed that this tactic actually pays off and encourages people to see the movie in question. On the evidence of this sorry film this seems incredible. From start to finish this truly is a pile of cack. What is it about? Impossible to say with any certainty as my mind has already begun to block it out. Needless to say that it is about a Leprechaun in space. So it does at the very least tick that particular box, and no one can really complain about a misleading title. They could, however, reasonably complain about everything else. The comedy set-pieces are criminally awful. And, eh…I started this review in good faith but have now just realized that I have nothing else to say about this dreck. So that's it.

I have tried to watch Leprechaun 4: In Space for a while, now that I saw it, i regret it.The Acting and Dialogue are awful, it's about as appealing as a bunch of kids playing space marines. Even though the camera shots are good and the lighting looks authentic, you can't get rid of the feeling that there on a set and not an actual space ship.The movie is so self aware that it rips off line from other horror movies, like, "It's Alive" from Frankenstein, it even uses a line from the fly at one point, and it even rips off the old black and white racial horror movies.Now I will say that THE ONLY thing I liked was the effects on the monster at the end of the film, but this also proofs what happened to the budget of the movie (if this movie even had a budget). I can honestly say that this is my LEAST favorite film from the Leprechaun franchise, it's even worst then when he went to the hood, I say go see the 1st, the 2nd, the 3rd or even the two hood movies, just don't deal with this one 2/10
