Review by Tom Baurley, March 2005
Well if this isn’t B-rate Horror, I wouldn’t be able to tell you what is. But then again, I knew what I was in for before renting it, and I’m one of those B-rate connoisseurs who actually do enjoy a little B-rate now and again. The theme is intriguing … a tribe of Cthulthu-like birthed Gnomes that dwell on blood … but not just blood, but blood letting. Taking a stab at the BDSM community and its world of blood play as an attractant to these invisible critters that you can only see once you’ve tasted their blood! But you’ll have to be quick for these boogers, as they’ll probably be tasting yours before you can get to theirs.
Definitely a cheap movie and below the barrel of b-rates. Did enjoy Julie Strain and some costume/ fetish imagery, but outside of that - cheap flick, recommend do not see, unless you are bottom-of-the-barrel bored out of your mind and have nothing else to watch. Rated 1/2 star out of 5 possible. Even with a little more budget, I’m not sure if this could have been a working title. But I like themes on the other realms … so that intrigued me in the very least with the writer’s take off on killer gnomes.
You are correct. This movie was TERRIBLE! But not terrible in a good way. I like a good B movie, but it was a struggle to sit through this one. Check out UNDEAD for an enjoyable independent horror flick.
