What happens

Leprechaun Returns is a comedy horror film directed by Astron-6's Steven Kostanski, from a screenplay by Suzanne Keilly. It is the eighth installment in the Leprechaun franchise and a direct sequel to 1993's Leprechaun which disregards the events of the previous five sequels, similarly to its contemporary Halloween. The film stars Taylor Spreitler as the daughter of Tory Redding from the original film, who encounters the title creature 25 years after her mother trapped it in a well (a retcon from the original film, in which Nathan and Alex Murphy knocked the leprechaun into the well and destroyed the well). Warwick Davis elected not to return as the Leprechaun, and Linden Porco took over the role for this film. It’s an international co-production between Canada, the United States and South Africa.
