The Leprechauns Rage (2021)

Aka the Leprechauns Curse

Tilly inherits Marigold Estate, which appears to be a rooming house with an indoor pool. Her dad died years ago but for some reason she’s just inherited this building now.  So Tilley, her boyfriend, her mom and two friends cram themselves into a sedan for a four hour ride.

When they arrive, they walk in and start exploring. There is a maid in the pool area who admonishes them to remove their shoes. They find four leaf clovers in little plant pots in the shed, and when they go swimming, they find gold pieces in the pool. Tilley also finds a note on her clothes accusing her of being a thief, and injures herself by stepping on some tacks.  She and her mom tell people to stop pulling such jokes. What kind of friends does she have? Are accusations and injuries normal?  

The note turns out to be from the largest leprechaun ever who is looking for his gold.  How would Tilly  know there was stolen gold on the property she just inherited, or where it was located? It seems like she should get a pass for anything other than the gold she found, which to be fair was in a house she owns. So she got a really raw deal.

When the leprechaun kills the maid, Tilly and her mom rescue her baby. In a truly nonsensical maneuver, they hide the baby behind a chair in a bedroom and then run out of the house. Wouldn’t the baby be safer with you? If the leprechaun kills you, that baby may not be found for weeks.  

Another movie where questions abound.  Why did they run to the shed rather than running to get help? Why do they continue to live in the murder house?  Why does Mom get a gold tooth? Not only is it aesthetically unpleasant to the eye, but a leprechaun was trying to kill you over gold. 

That is one big leprechaun
Apparently leprechauns don’t have peripheral vision
He is the worst at hiding from leprechauns
If you find a note about gold thievery, get out while you still can
The odd leprechaun mask
So leprechauns wear tube socks and loafers?
Decent eyeball effect
Why do people always put their hands over their
own mouths when they hide?
