Gnomes

Usually, I don't care for short movies and hardly ever bother to review them, but I'm gladly making an exception for "Gnomes". This is 10 minutes - give or take - of pure and unhinged horror entertainment, chock-full of grueling gore and imaginative little creatures. A lone female jogger is lured off the path by a mysterious trail of glowing mushrooms, but then gets subjected to sadist torturing by little critters that you commonly expect to be cute and harmless. It's an incredibly fun short with great gore-effects and skillful editing. The closing credits are almost half a long as the film itself, but very creative. "Gnomes" is a Dutch production, and there's some involvement from Richard Raaphorst ("Frankenstein's Army"). Hopefully this doesn't get turned into a long-feature, because then they have to build a storyline around it, and the magic will probably be ruined.
