Gnome Alone (2015)

Just perfect...

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Basically a low-budget rip off of the 'Leprechaun' movies but with Verne Troyer instead of Warwick Davis, he's not technically a leprechaun but a gnome but it's still very much the same deal.And to call something a low-budget rip off of 'Leprechaun' which also was a low-budget franchise you know that this is REALLY low-budget, but that adds a bit to the charm.Occasionally just plain bad but for the more part so bad it's good to the point that it becomes funny and I had a good laugh watching it, the dialogue is often ridiculously and most of the cast aren't that great either but it does manage to entertain for the more-part so of course that in itself is an achievement.You have poorly written characters like the obnoxious wannabe frat-boy cop and the lesbian teacher who's taken straight out of a porno providing us with bizarre entertainment, and also entertaining to see in a smaller role; former child-star Ross Bagley from THE FRESH PRINCE OF BEL AIR and the 1994 adaption of THE LITTLE RASCALS again.But yeah is it a "good movie"? Of course not, but does it entertain? It sure does, it struggles a bit in the second half when it takes itself a little too seriously but it's still a whole lot better than the Leprechaun reboot "Leprechaun: Origins (2014)" that was just plain bad and boring, while this at least provides a good amount of chuckles.

I expected, after a good opening sequence, some fairytale-like story....but that idea went up in smoke very quick.... After the opening sequence it turned into a highschool horror and poorly acted too... Only Verne Troyer and Kerry Knuppe were OK but the rest were probably snatched from some amateur company... The writers were probably 18 too, believing that, if you include a teacher hitting on a student, it would sell more DVD's... But the "erotic" scenes were a complete turn of (too fake). Comedy part was also not well written... Should have been more outrageous and sarcastic... Special effects were OK too...

I wasn't expecting much from this film to be honest but I really enjoyed it. The horror is slasher gore type, rather than tension building and jump scares. The film takes time to establish the plot and the backgrounds of the main characters, into the second act the murderous feast begins with gusto. The dialog is corny, but beautifully delivered by the cast. The real magic comes from Verne Troyer whose delivery of lines during the gore is comedic gold.This film plays to it's type so well, you get the feeling the whole thing is tongue in cheek. The plot is ridiculous and the characters are all stereotypes. But somehow, maybe thanks to the performance of Troyer and Kerry Knuppe it all comes together in what is essentially a fun film. Comedic horror at it's gory best.

This movie was screwed up as hell.Every scene lasts 4 times longer than it should, which means that awful scenes are enough to make you cringe as hard as you possibly can, but the retarded funny stuff lasting so long is enough to make it slightly worth it.The revenge murder scenes make up for the rest of the awful garbage in between. All in all, I'd put it in league with some of the really awful movies that you enjoy, but not on the same level of movies like Troll 2.This is Troll 2 with titties.
