The Leprechaun’s Game (2020)

A rich weirdo hires a couple of sketchy guys to look for gold at the end of the rainbow. They bring in some friends and go tromping through the woods.  After a ridiculous search where they look in places there is obviously no gold, they find the treasure.  They decide to keep the gold for themselves since it’s more than the weirdo was going to pay them.  Then the leprechaun appears to retrieve his treasure and these idiots have already started spending it.

One of the weirdest things about this movie is that the leprechaun doesn’t look like a leprechaun. He’s played by a very slender, normal sized person wearing a rubber mask.

At one point, one of the guys who found the gold calls Ruby and tells her to get to Carl’s now. No time for questions because things have blown up.  Ruby goes into a church and sits down next to a policewoman to talk. After that she heads off to see a psychic. Why isn’t she going to Carl’s?  It sounded like an emergency. Why is she gallivanting around town?  The psychic tells Ruby she’s dabbling in black magic and needs a four leaf clover to end it. Even though Ruby just stole a leprechauns gold, her peach pit brain doesn’t put it together and she calls him a fraud.

Later when things go sideways and she remembers she needs the clover, she goes outside and starts running her hands over the grass, as if she can feel the difference between a clover with three or four leaves.  We are also treated to a scene where the music is so loud,  you can’t hear the person on the other end of the phone.

Another tough one to sit through, but I am fascinated by Scott Jeffreys films for the simple reason that his output is amazing. He’s cranking this junk out. So here’s to dedication. It’s impressive in quantity, rather than quality. I’m guessing the actors in these films are doing them to build up their resumes or for fun. I can’t imagine they are getting paid or how there would be any kind of budget for these films. 

Ridiculous onscreen text:

Some have claimed to have found the riches and lived a life of pure luxury, having everything they have ever hoped and dreamed of. But they are always on the run… or they have not survived long enough to tell the tale.

[The leprechaun] may take your life and soul as payment… forever.

The not so leprechaun looking leprechaun

Apparently leprechauns can conjure green mist

I wonder if the pot of gold is under the twig.
