The Worst of 2021 - #6 Leprechaun 3

It’s St Patrick's Week on Pod Sematary! Chris & Kelsey make horror movie wishes that end up in monkey's paw results with an Irish twist (For example, Chris wanted to watch Wishmaster again and got Leprechaun 3 instead).

Read our afterthoughts for this episode here!

The Classic Film: Leprechaun 3 (1995)
"An evil leprechaun finds himself in Las Vegas, where he proceeds to cause mischief by killing people, granting twisted wishes, and infecting a young man with his green blood” (IMDb.com). The Leprechaun franchise certainly isn't getting better and seems to have hit levels of absurdity that better franchises took a couple more entries to reach.

The Modern Film: Wake Wood (2009)
"The parents of a girl who was killed by a savage dog are granted the opportunity to spend three days with their deceased daughter” (IMDb.com). Wake Wood is another one of those movies that we could take or leave, but its promise just makes each of our quibbles all the more frustrating.
