Leprechaun: The Beginning

A group of archaeology students unearths a strange artifact in the Irish bogs—an ancient stone vessel covered in Celtic runes. Their professor, Dr. O'Hara, warns of the danger, but curiosity prevails. When the vessel is opened, it releases not an ancient spirit, but something far more tangible and bloodthirsty. The local town descends into chaos as whispers spread of a curse tied to gold that should never be touched. The protagonists realize they have disturbed the centuries-long slumber of a creature for whom human life is merely a bargaining chip in an eternal game.
