Blood Gnome

Sometimes you do wonder how some scripts ever made it to the production stage, let alone release. this is the finest example of such a film I have ever seen.

The plot ("justification for an S&M gnome film") revolves around the attempts of a crime-scene photographer to fathom the injuries suffered by individuals killed during S&M. We soon find out they were caused by killer gnomes under the dominion of a drug-dealing dominatrix. Who in turn, is under the control of a gnome producing octopus that most would expect to be contently spending its days menacing Dr. Who.

This film is farcical at best, although I do respect anyone who can sit through the whole of it without trying to attack the TV. I only watched it all myself as I was under very forceful duress.

No matter how much fun it seems to rent this film on the basis of a title that appeals to all drunken students, do not under any reason, unless you take immense pleasure in inflicting great pain on yourself and your friends.

Aah, Blood Gnome.

A surprising film.

A film of contradictions and surprises. I was expecting a standard poor quality horror film, the usual combination of poor acting, poor effects and exploitative content.

No, instead the viewer is forced to confront ones own beliefs in "reality", "self" and "gnomes".

A considered study in social norms, conformity, ostracism and the need for acceptance. All played beautifully through the perspective of the central character, the 'Gnome'. (Played here, with profound gravitas, by a plastic gnome)

He tries his hardest to fit in, his efforts are universally met with rejection, dis-trust and bare hatred.

Who hasn't felt like that at some point or another? Inside all of us, there is, at times, a troubled gnome.

In these times of societal divisions, a relevant film indeed.

The final words left me weeping like a beaten drunkard. Realising the folly of his efforts, Gnome's last words, before expiring- "Gnomebud".

Not a dry eye in the...

OK, I'll stop. I realised that I couldn't muster up an opinion on the ACTUAL film beyond the words: "As absolutely terrible as it sounds".

A confused mess about the S&M bondage scene, and a demonic gnome. Also, the version I saw, had the last twenty minutes missing.

Still, looking forward to the remake: "Plasma Pixie".

The sheer stupidity of this movie I can get past. But the fact they tried to take themselves seriously for this pile of crap I can't. You really don't want to see this movie, and if I hadn't gotten a free copy of it, I wouldn't have seen it either. Do yourself a favor, go watch Gremlins, cause this movie isn't scary, funny, or sexy. They want you to think so, but it just isn't

Julie Strain, what were you thinking????

I was in the mood for a bad horror movie. So I bought this one for very cheap. but I didn't expect it to be this cheap. Shot on home video quality, with long boring scenes. They tried to be funny but weren't. They tried to make it erotic (with some s&m stuff) but that didn't work either. Hoping for some laughs and an over the top climax. They didn't give it to me. As I watched it out to the end, hoping to see the mother creature and not be disappointed. It wasn't meant to be. Because they only showed small parts of the creature {it was in a box}.

If you think 2 dollars is cheap for a horror movie: think again because it's a big rip off.

In this unofficial sequel to Critters (or maybe it's Ghoulies), a bunch of evil latex puppets terrorize anyone foolish enough to partake in BDSM. The sad part is, there's almost an interesting idea here, but it is totally wasted. It would have been nice if the writer would have actually done some research, rather than just watching Exit to Eden a couple of times and assuming he knew anything about the fetish community.

There's a goofy walkthrough by Scream Queen Julie Strain (which may be the highlight of the movie, sad to say). This movie would make Lloyd Kaufman, Roger Corman and Charlie Band cringe.
