Ordinarily I post the trailer of the movie being reviewed at the top of my post. However, I feel that the trailer spoils some great scenes in this movie, so I really advise against watching the trailer. I respect this movie too much to spoil anything, which is surprising because I was underwhelmed by the trailer. The…
The movie starts with some really badass animation intercut with some scenes that explain the back story of a Leprechaun and the witch who betrayed him. She was marked with the sign of the curse, so she summoned a Gnome for protection. With each generation a new witch is marked with the curse, and…
XX It had a lovely stop motion opening. There is a creepy quality to stop motion. Maybe it is because I associate it with that scary demon guy that kidnaped the Pegasus in Clash of the Titans (this is my memory of it from when I was 7-years-old), but really even in those old Rudolf and…

WARNING: SOME SPOILERS TO FOLLOW The first horror in this movie are the physiques of the father and son. Ronnie & Brayden. No one wants to see that. The son and father are always in their bikini underwear. No one wants to see that! The second horror is the dialog and delivery. It is terrible.…
My Disjointed Thoughts (Get it? Disjointed, like knucklebones) This looks low-budget, but that’s OK. It starts with some excitement in Nazi Germany, then some supernatural seeming murders at a dry cleaning facility in Texas? Then a girl’s gay boyfriend breaks up with her. That actor was pinging the hell out of my gaydar. So she…
