Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

darksyde-63508 Upon watching the first few moments of this movie, you're more than likely to think it's a rip off of the "Leprechaun" franchise. While its not, the two movies are very similar, but that should come as no surprise. The guy that came up with the first "Leprechaun" also came up with this. Both movies feature a psychotic little imp who is transported to modern times (In this case, "modern" being the mid 90's) to wreak havoc on their intended victim. Both the Leprechaun and Rumpelstiltskin are similar in the fact that they are single minded in their goals. (Rumpelstiltskin repeatedly says "Give me the baby" throughout the entire movie), and both films are literred with dark humor. In my opinion, this movienis much better than the "leprechaun" movie that proceeded it. It is much better than the horrible steaming pile of sh** that was "Leprechaun in space", both "Leprauchan in the hood" movies, and the horrible "sequel in name only" Leprechaun: Origins. See this. Its an enjoyable way to kill an hour and a half

seanman5000 This film is ridiculous on so many levels! I don't understand why they have to take every single fairy tale character, and make them a killer. Now, I realize that The Brothers Grimm sort of did that, but come on! You are afraid of a being that is half your size?!! Really?!! The whole film goes like this, "Oh no Rumplestiltskin is after my baby! What do we do? What do we do?" Here's an idea...move to Alaska! Jeez! I just don't understand why people are so afraid of midgets in horror movies. Yes they have powers, yes they are creepy, and yes they can be annoying, but come on! You want my advice. I will make this short. Beware of this film's stupidity!

Seagalogist Did you ever see Leprechaun? If you answered 'yes' continue. Did you like it? If you answered 'no', get out of here fast and don't watch Rumpelstiltskin. Sorry, that was just a quick filter to stop potential 'haters' of this movie seeing it or reading this. So if you like horror, you'll be aware that between around 1988-1996 the genre was ridiculous and terrible, bar a few noble exceptions. Only 99% of the stuff that came out was terrible. However, as a kid, it was great to be able to watch things like Leprechaun/Rumpelstiltskin and be mildly scared (mostly by the box cover) and be amused also. I have fond memories of Rumpelstiltskin, and when I watched it yesterday I still enjoyed it. It's nothing special, but Rumpelstiltskin looks quite evil, says lines like "this ain't no fairytale" and even raises the dead once. Awesome!You can see the director thought 'shit, look at my budget, I don't need all that', so he just decided to blow stuff up. There are some great explosions of trucks...yes, there is a Rumpelstiltskin car chase! Criticisms. Acting: the acting was so bad, not quite 'Manos' bad, but everyone bar the mother of the baby and the cop who dies early on were terrible. Even little Rumpel is only OK, would have liked less comic humour and more sinister stuff. Plot: It's weak and sometimes it's too slow, others too fast. Like when Rumpel is unleashed the pacing goes out the window. Though I must say, there's plenty of the little guy in this movie and that's what we want to see so I can't complain. Rumpel: He's a good character, but if it wasn't for Leprechaun's cult following would they have made Rumpel more sinister? It may not have worked because he's laughable even before he speaks.This movie works only if you suspend all belief and expect as little as possible. It helps if you're bored and just don't care what you watch also. 6/10 just because of it's faint charm and explosions. There is no horror to be found in this movie!

disdressed12 i'm not sure i can rate this movie.i mean,on the one hand,it was very poorly made,not scary at all,with atrociously bad makeup effects,especially during the death scenes.it was however,horrendously amusing and even very funny,but not in any good way.i can only hope the geniuses behind this disaster were actually trying to make a comedy.if not,the world may just be coming to an end.i will say the creature was quite disgusting looking,if that means anything.anyway,you see the dilemma in trying to rate this thing.do we rate it for its comedic value(i use the term value very,very loosely),or based on how pathetic it is as horror movie?all i can say is,if you've seen more than a half dozen horror movies,you probably won't find this thing scary in the least.i see iv'e used up the required 10 lines.thank goodness
