WWE Superstar Hornswoggle has responded to critics of his new film Leprechaun: Origins which have received harsh criticism across the internet in an interview with AlternativeNation.net. 

"Twitter brings out the best in the keyboard bullies. Much like WWE, when they think they know what's going to happen, and we don't give them that as a company, they get angry, fans get angry. With the movie people were expecting the original, and this movie is nothing like the original, I will [even] say it's better. The old films had a cult following, they had their place in history for what they were, and they were great for what they were. But this one is so different from the originals, it's much more of a horror film and I don't think people are expecting that, they're expecting the old films. We didn't give them that, and like I said with fans in general, and critics, they want to think they know everything going into it. When you don't give them that, usually they're just like, ‘Oh man, they fooled me. Oh I'm not looking to look like the idiot, they just did it wrong, because it's not what I wanted.' I think that's what's happened a few times. I've seen a lot of good reviews as well, a lot of people from the horror side of it, who really view it as a great horror film."
