Leprechaun

Leprechaun is a 1993 horror-comedy film starring Warwick Davis as the titular character who although not named in the movies is given the off-screen name "Lubdan". A bunch of people go to a rural farmhouse in North Dakota for a holiday and discover not only a pot of gold, but the rightful owner. The leprechaun will kill any who touches his gold, but has a weakness to wrought iron and four-leaf clovers, which cancel out his magic. Despite negative reviews, the film went on to spawn a franchise, currently consisting of seven films (or eight if one counts the much-maligned “reboot”.)
