I'm not really sure why this movie gets all the hate. Its definitely not a "Leprechaun" movie. It's a totally different experience, way more serious and for me it just really works. Produced by WWE whose movies I tend to enjoy from The Marine to See No Evil and No One lives amongst others. There's definitely a ferocity to them I appreciate. It centers on a group of American tourists on vacation in Ireland who are trapped in a house by some local townsfolk in the countryside. You see they are to be sacramental to the title creatures. What follows is a fast and fierce creature feature with some genuine scares, good pratical gore, surprising turns and nice dread induced but fun atmosphere. The film doesn't do anything new to invent the wheel but because of the solid execution they give us some decently developed characters we somewhat care about. It all culminates in a creepy, unrelenting fashion even though it's a bit expected.
3.5/5
