06/05/2021 100% greatest movie of all time! See more 07/10/2019 this is the best movie Verne Troyer has ever been in. See more 09/19/2018 The only good thing about this movie is that they appear to have been able to put the film in the camera the right direction. Past that, it's a complete waste of time, effort, and brain cells. I feel 100% confident I could grab 10 random people off the street and shoot a better movie with an iPhone. See more 06/16/2018 This is the best horror movie, nay, the best overall film that has ever been made in the history of mankind. It will send shivers down your spine, and its subtle, haunting atmosphere will stay with you for weeks. A shockingly underappreciated piece of avant-garde cinema, this unparalleled masterpiece is most certainly one to watch. See more 01/28/2015 Enjoyable, if in your opinion, Hollywood lacks a movie where someone gets beaten to death by an evil gnome armed with a big dildo - this is the film you've been waiting for. See more 01/27/2015 It was pretty evident from the moment I gazed upon the packaging for "Gnome Alone" what Lionsgate was trying to do. They wanted to launch a low-budget indie horror franchise in the vein of "Leprechaun." The only problem is the charm and black humor which awarded our little green friend's movies annual viewings at St. Patrick's Day is covered here in a layer of raunch that will detract many viewers from giving it the same respect. Just when Zoe (Kerry Knuppe) thinks she's all alone in this world, an old woman (Willow Hale) passes on her bewitched Gnome (Verne Troyer), who is bound by magic to protect his master. Zoe quickly realizes that he isn't your garden variety gnome, when he begins eliminating her enemies in extravagant displays of revenge. Zoe must find a way to stop this mischievous gnome, before Zoe and her friends become victims of his trickery. I know what the makers of "Gnome Alone" are shooting for. They are looking for a chance to connect to an audience seeking holiday horror movies to add to their list of yearly programming. People will pick it up mistakenly thinking it's a genre Christmas tale because of the title's resemblance to "Home Alone." After getting into it, they'll find ties to leprechauns, which will lead viewers to link it to St. Patrick's Day. "Gnome Alone" has some entertainingly gory kills, but nothing that will stick in your mind the way the ones in the "Leprechaun" movies do. How can you top being pogo-sticked to death or having a weird little green creature climb out of your stomach? I can't even remember one of the death scenes from this movie right off-hand. What I do remember is a lot of sexual situations that seemed like they were trying to one-up their 1980s horror / slasher counterparts. I don't particularly like nudity or adult situations even being in genre films. "Gnome Alone" definitely takes it to a whole other level of smut. Verne Troyer plays the little monster in "Gnome Alone" giving the title character an air of creepiness and a pinch of sleaziness. Most folks will identify him as Mini-Me from the "Austin Powers" movies. The only other noticeable face for me was that of Bill Oberst, Jr. He's had roles in several grade B and Z horror films like "Krampus: The Christmas Devil," "Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombies," and "A Haunting in Salem" to name a few. "Gnome Alone" will no doubt find an audience who doesn't mind its descent into raunchiness. It goes too far in that direction for my tastes. I prefer holiday and creature feature slashing and bloodletting that doesn't make me feel like I need to take a shower afterwards. www.ersink.com See more Read all reviews
