While the film won’t debut on Syfy until next March, Leprechaun Returns (review) is now on VOD platforms everywhere. The Steven Kostanski-directed (The Void) film serves as a sequel to the original Leprechaun, only this time Linden Porco takes on the title role.
The film’s title is perfection, alluding to the Leprechaun’s return from the well that he fell down in the 1993 horror film starring Warwick Davis and Jennifer Aniston.
But before the filmmakers settled on Leprechaun Returns, Bloody Disgusting learned there were two other titles in contention: the totally awesome Leprechaun Lives! and Leprechaun: Renewable Enemy. Maybe one of them will be used in a future sequel?
In the brand new film, “The deadly, wisecracking Leprechaun is back in all his gory glory. When the sorority sisters of the Alpha Upsilon house decide to go green and use an old well as their water source, they unwittingly awaken a pint-sized, green-clad monster. The Leprechaun wants a pot of gold buried near the sorority house, but first, he must recover his powers with a killing spree—and only the girls of AU can stop him.“
Leprechaun Returns co-stars Mark Holton, reprising the role of Ozzie!
