Eric Stevenson This is the worst film I've reviewed for Slasher Month. It's one of the dumbest movies I've seen in a long time. When hearing about the mere mention of the title, I was at least eager to find out how the leprechaun would even get into space. It turns out we never find out! The movie literally opens with him already in space with his space bride. I'd think that would be something important to mention. There's this one scene where it looks like a guy is trying to help the leprechaun but he's trying to trick him and it fails. Later, he does the same thing with another guy and it's the exact same thing! I'm just amazed at how stupid this movie can get. There's this one strange cyborg that's transformed into a giant spider. At the film's climax, the leprechaun turns into a giant. All of this really happened. I thought they'd at least show the leprechaun on other planets but instead he's just stranded on a single spaceship. Does this take place in the future or something? How does this fit in with the other movies? The leprechaun gets blown up twice and somehow reforms.He blows up again at the end but his hand is still alive so I guess he's still not quite dead. Oh, and a woman becomes topless for no reason whatsoever other than that it's her people's way of showing a death sentence. This film is just idiotic bit after idiotic bit and I could go on all day about how stupid everything is. It seems like they just took random pieces of paper with plot points written on them and shot them out of a cannon to collect them to make some kind of story. The only upside is that it is the first slasher movie I've seen where the villain uses a gun. Even then, he doesn't kill anyone with it. *

Wuchak Released to video in 1997, "Leprechaun 4: In Space" takes place in the future where a group of space marines travel to a distant planet to stop a power-hungry Leprechaun (Warwick Davis) from harming a Dominian princess, Zarina (Rebecca Carlton). The Marines' civilian boss is a mad scientist by the name of Dr. Mittenhand (Guy Siner). When the Leprechaun eventually manifests on the vessel havoc ensues. Brent Jasmer and Tim Colceri play the main Marines while Jessica Collins plays a scientist who accompanies them. Debbe Dunning and Gary Grossman are also on hand.I've only seen the first four Leprechaun movies and this is my second favorite after "Leprechaun 3." As a low-budget horror/comedy, you have to take it for what it is to appreciate it. Davis is thoroughly entertaining as usual as the eponymous imp and the filmmakers assembled a quality cast who take it all tongue-in-cheek. The Leprechaun rebirth scene is particularly effective, both funny and perverse. The way Dr. Mittenhand de-morphs is also done well while Carlton & Collins are definite highlights as Princess Zarina and Tina.The movie runs 95 minutes and was shot at Front Street Studios, Los Angeles.GRADE: B or B- (6.5/10 Stars)

Kristine So I have officially seen all the Leprechaun films, amazing that it took me this long as I'm actually a weird fan of the series, I know that's absurd but I love how ridicules these films are. Leprechaun 4 is known as the most crazy sequel in the series which is odd considering he went to the hood. But I decided to go ahead and just buy the entire series on DVD and I of course watched this film as soon as I got it and just had to let go and have a great time with it. I don't know how I could enjoy it but I did, I think if you sometimes just wanna have fun and go with it you can find yourself enjoying the stupidest things in life. How could anyone take this movie seriously? I mean one of the female characters shows her breasts randomly and that's claimed as how she tells someone they are about to get the death penalty, how many men in the world would beg for the death sentence if that way the way of telling them? Yeah the acting and effects let alone the story is just awful but I just love the leprechaun as silly as he is, he's just got this amazing personality and what a way of expressing it in space.The Leprechaun is on a desolate planet attempting to marry princess Zarina, whom he has kidnapped in a plot to marry her, then murder her father in order to become king of her home planet. A group of space marines attack and they return to their ship with Zarina, where their leader, the half-robotic Dr. Mittenhand, explains that the princess has regenerative powers and his plans to use Zarina's DNA to recreate his own mutilated body. Elsewhere on the ship, the Leprechaun violently emerges from Kowalski's pants when he attempts to sleep with a fellow marine, Dolores, killing him. The Leprechaun then kills most of the crew members in other various gruesome and absurd ways. He finds Zarina in Dr. Mittenhand's laboratory, and plans to kidnap the princess back killing anyone who gets in his way.I can't believe Warwick Davis did these films but I give him such props that he stayed true and loyal to them. He made the leprechaun into one memorable character, this series I don't think ever took itself seriously and how could it? After all who knew a leprechaun could be so frightening and over a pot of gold? I don't think Lucky Charms ever had this character in mind for this box cover. Now this movie isn't certainly for everyone, like I said there is some incredibly bad acting on everyone's part. Of course being a horror movie, there are tons of good looks vs. talent. The special effects are something that could be done on any home computer, I guess that is what really dates the film. The story is just plain ridicules and silly, the princess accepts very fast and well that she's going to marry a weird looking leprechaun who won't stop talking about gold. I love that the female doctor looks like a lost cast member walked off the set of Baywatch and of course we have to have her half naked randomly at the end of the film. There's a moment in the film when "under" the leprechaun's power a tough marine sergeant comes out dress like Dreamgirls and starts dancing and hitting on his soldiers. It's just a very weird movie but like I said if you're a fan of the series go for it and watch it, even though I know there are fans of the movies and don't enjoy this one but I liked it at least. But if you're looking for an actual horror movie, just look at the title alone, that should say enough.5/10

Red-Barracuda 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.
