LEPRECHAUN: BACK 2 THA HOOD

RATING: *1/2 (OUT OF ****)

Obviously, nobody is expecting cinematic brilliance from a movie with the title "Leprechaun: Back 2 Tha Hood", but the most one could hope for is some trashy fun. Unfortunately, too much of this straight-to-video lamefest is boring scenes where bad actors just spout bad dialogue back and forth. Without a hint of gore or nudity, "Back 2 Tha Hood" follows the same story as all the previous Leprechaun movies. Characters find gold, Lep kills them, etc. Thankfully there is some humor injected here and there, but overall this crappy sequel is barely even worth reading user comments on. What's wrong with you?
