What did Darren Lynn Bousman say?
Darren Lynn Bousman explained what he loves about the Leprechaun franchise. According to him, they are ludicrous, they’re amusing. They’re ferocious. It’s a flawless popcorn horror film, it’s not annoying to be uber-serious. It’s not trying to be uber-frightening. It is just an entertaining time. He thinks that he misses those types of films that are just fun. He loves the Midsommars and the Hereditary, The Witch. Those are his favorite types of films. They’re not entertaining. He wants those films like Final Destinations, where people are high-fiving in the theatre, they are laughing. He thinks Leprechaun kind of symbolizes that, the more they went on, they became more absurd. Written and directed by Mark Jones, the film is rated R for horror ferocity, and language. Jennifer Aniston stars in it with Warwick Davis as the title rogue.
