Red Clover (2012)

To me, this movie is perfection.

Masterful Cinema

All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Red headed chick picks the red four-leaf clover holding a demonic leprechaun captive in the woods, which curses her and frees him; he wreaks bloody havoc throughout the tiny little burg on St. Patrick's Day.It's not as annoying as the Warwick Davis/ Leprechaun flicks, with a from-out-of-nowhere monologue by Billy Zane a bizarre highlight, while most of the rest of his dialogue, and the rest the cast, is just there taking up space.As one character so very aptly puts it, "If this was a bad monster movie, it would kill everybody but you." In the end, the plot just kills off most everyone involved except the girl; was that line the filmmaker's way of letting the audience in on the joke, that this really is just a bad monster movie? And one wonders how the girl managed to explain all of this death and mayhem after the final scene? I'll give it points for trying a different look for the leprechaun than we are used to, but that's not necessarily good, and almost none of the plot makes sense. Here the leprechaun looks like Pumpkinhead gone drinking and doused in green beer. The rest of the effects are quite graphic, if sometimes badly done. Odd framing has several scenes of dialogue filmed at wide angels, when close up shots were needed. Use of camera wipes and dissolves, which haven't really been seen since the 1980s, is curious; so is the constant use of brown or green filters on the camera lens.

The movies that premiere on the Syfy Channel generally range from bad to absolutely unwatchable. This should come as no surprise since these films have typically super low budgets and have drastically short shooting schedules, leaving little chance for them to be well put together. However, a decent film occasionally makes its way onto the air and Leprechaun's Revenge is one of those rare cases where the results of the minuscule budget and rushed production schedule doesn't destroy the end result. While Leprechaun's Revenge still seems like a movie that would have greatly benefited from having more time spent on it, the final cut is much better than the schlocky title implies. The first thirty minutes or so are actually engaging. The opening scene is fairly creepy, the tone is set up perfectly, and its clear from the beginning that the protagonist isn't a stereotypical horror movie moron. Yet for whatever reason, the premise stops being effective after a while and the sense of rhythm that was established in the first half seems off in the second half(which I suspect was due to aforementioned time constraints and budgetary problems). Still, Leprechaun's Revenge remains a great flick to watch on St. Patrick's Day with a bunch of friends and it is certainly more entertaining than 90% of all the other Syfy originals. The cast is solid, the effects are reasonably cool, and there is a sense of humor to the proceedings that's hard not to enjoy. Note: To clear up any confusion, Leprechaun's Revenge is in no way related to the endless series of Warwick Davis horror pictures. If I had to guess, Syfy was hoping for people to assume a vague relation in order to get viewers to tune in.

First, the story line seems to be everywhere. It doesn't really flow well at all. They jump from scene to scene with little or no connections. It was confusing and difficult to watch. The leprechaun... Oh God, where do I start? How about the thing looks more like a goblin of some kind than a leprechaun. The least they could have done was make semi human in appearance, as legend states. Or made it talk. Or really anything that would lead you to believe that it is an evil Faerie from Ireland. It looked like a terrible goblin Halloween costume from a thrift store. The acting was mediocre at best. Any college drama department could have done better. Over all, D-. I prefer the Warwick Davis Leprechaun movies.

Karen O'Hara is out in the woods with her Grandfather, when they get momentarily separated and she gets attacked by a recently resurrected leprechaun. she appears to get out unscathed so when her sheriff father (billy Zane) gives grandpa an earful for taking her to hunt, she decides to keep the slowly deteriorating mysterious mark on her hand a secret little knowing that a Leprechaun is after her.All the major characters are.. Serviceable enough and the film eschews the more comedic elements of the much more well-known "Leprechaun" films (a series that has nothing to do with this one, by the way) Oh and Billy Zane has the most bizarrely funny monologue that comes out of left field of the film.All in all, this film while not being anyone that special, could have been so much worseMy grade: C-
