Franchise Vodcast Analysis

Leprechaun (Mark Jones 1993)
$900K budget
Made $2.5m in US

The Storyline is about a man who steals a Leprechan's pot of gold and manages to lock the little guy in his basement however 10 years later he unmistakably lets him out which then makes the life of the robber
(Dan O'Grady) a living hell. Comments were mostly bad and some were good but most were bad, 27% were good and the rest were bad, 6 Films in the franchise. Remake coming in 2013 yet another one ! The 4th one was hybridity due to the syfi and horror combined, and 5 and 6 are also hybrid due to the "gangster" look. Scream Queen in this is not the typical scream, a counter-type is used as used in this film. Pogo Stick used as a weapon which is unusual weapon. The film shows that a large production company such as Trimark can make films which can be whats called as a 'Massive Flop' which doesn't turn around the money it cost to make the film or anywhere near the profit it should have got.
