Konterr Brilliant and touching
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Matho The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
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. *
dawsonswenson6 A movie that received, very poor reviews by professional critics. But I find to be very underrated. Its true that the space affects, like what it looks like outside the ship are pretty bad, but those are the things that make this movie so awesome! What is more cool then a Leprechaun, in space trying to get it on with a hot space princess? Nothing. I love how the Leprechaun uses that lightsaber like thing, and just killed the space soldier! Then for a reason I never understood, the space princess reveals her breasts to a bunch of the space soldiers on the ship as a punishment. Pretty awkward, but funny and erotic moment. I love how the Leprechaun focuses mostly on the princess, but eventually tells her they need to go back for his gold! Still sticking to the series plot. And it had perhaps the greatest kill in movie history. When a male soldier is getting it with a female soldier, he gets an erection. And because he earlier had blown up the Leprechaun, then pee'd on it, the Leprechaun explodes out of penis and says one of the greatest movie lines of all time, "Let that be a lesson to you lads, always wear a prophylactic!" It was the most gross and funny, and awesome kill scenes I have ever seen in my entire life. The only problem with this movie that I have this is the one movie in the series in which the Leprechaun does not rhyme. In all of the Leprechaun movies he has a habit of rhyming for no apparent reason and its a great thing, but he for whatever reason just does not do that in this movie. Disappointing. But overall, this is the second greatest film in the series, and perhaps one of the greatest horror films I have ever seen in my life. I love this film, I recommend it to everyone in the world, this film is a 9 out of 10.
Horrorfan1995 I have tried to watch Leprechaun 4: In Space for a while, now that I saw it, i regret it.The Acting and Dialogue are awful, it's about as appealing as a bunch of kids playing space marines. Even though the camera shots are good and the lighting looks authentic, you can't get rid of the feeling that there on a set and not an actual space ship.The movie is so self aware that it rips off line from other horror movies, like, "It's Alive" from Frankenstein, it even uses a line from the fly at one point, and it even rips off the old black and white racial horror movies.Now I will say that THE ONLY thing I liked was the effects on the monster at the end of the film, but this also proofs what happened to the budget of the movie (if this movie even had a budget). I can honestly say that this is my LEAST favorite film from the Leprechaun franchise, it's even worst then when he went to the hood, I say go see the 1st, the 2nd, the 3rd or even the two hood movies, just don't deal with this one 2/10
FilmFanInTheHouse Leprechaun 4: In Space directed by Brian Trenchard-Smith After three movies set on Earth, the Leprechaun now goes where no Irish monster has gone before; SPACE!After a fun and entertaining sequel, the Leprechaun franchise has hit a big low. Deciding to send the Irish monster into space, the fourth entry includes a large mixture of bad acting, bad effects and just a plain bad script. Instead of enjoying the sequel, you just sit there asking "why?" not just for yourself, but also for the characters.
