Leprechaun Returns is a 2018 American comedy horror 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, disregarding all previous sequels. The film stars Taylor Spreitler as the daughter of Jennifer Aniston's character from the original film, who encounters the title creature 25 years after her mother trapped it in a well. Warwick Davis elected not to return as the Leprechaun, and Linden Porco took over the role for this film.

Plot

Lila Jenkins arrives at Devil's Lake, North Dakota, to help greenify an old house owned by her sorority at Laramore University. Lila hitches a ride from Ozzie Jones and reveals that her mother, Tory Redding, had died the year prior to cancer. Ozzie accidentally drops his phone while unloading Lila's luggage and heads back to retrieve it, only to get sprayed by water from the old well, rebirthing the Leprechaun and causing it to punch his way out of Ozzie's torso.
